Hot Chick - Check
Spaceships - Check
Explosions - Check

Shameless link to other CCP Videos - Check

All seems to be in order in the new video.

The first video I've seen that made mostly of non-in-game footage.

"what are you waiting for pilot? "

"Im waiting for you to get out of my face and let me out of this chair"

poor job --- 3/10

FC, what do?

I hate the word 'Disorientating'. It's stupid. Just say 'disorienting'. Otherwise it just sounds like you're adding syllables to your words in the vain hope that it will make your IQ seem higher than it is.

you obviously missed quite a few trailers from pre-crucible then.

I assume what you saw is the Icarna engine at it's full potential, on technology we cannot afford and has not hit the consumer market yet.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Well, what are you waiting for?

It wasn't bad, but I thought it had a great deal more potential. There is so much story possible when a pilot wakes-up dazed and confused in a new clone.

One thing that really stuck out to me was the lost opportunity of (paraphrasing): "First time? You'll get used to it!" (rather than "You can handle it.")

The ending "what are you waiting for?", struck me as a little campy. She also seemed a little condescending, more so than was was necessary for the situation.


Also, the accent implies that there will be British people still around in 23000 years and this means the plans to eradicate these vermin with their Benny Hill, room tempurature beer, and bland cuisine has failed.

I was discussing this with some acquaintances in a chat channel. The best Eve videos use all CGI. The best two off the top of my head are the Incursion trailer or the Future Vision trailer.

I can't exactly put my finger on it. It maybe the actor/actresses they employ, on the other hand though, it may just be that the real people look out of place amidst all the other CGI. I will say the video got immediately better when they jumped to showing spaceships with the voice over of the actress.

It's propably the CGI acting and it's not the actor's fault. It happens in every film doing it, with the starwars prequels being the most well known offenders. Basicly the actor is all alone dressed up in a silly costume against a green background and has nothing to react to IRL(director only tells what he/she sees or shows a concept art picture). So when they later add all the flashy CGI, the persons actions and reaction(or lack of them) look and feel all wrong. It screams fake/wrong in your brain even if you can't exactly explain why you feel that way.

What the hell was that? I'm not sure if they were selling the game or life insurance. For fcks sake, McDonald's has more exicting commercials. "Well pilot, what are you waiting for?"

I'm waiting for you to show me something interesting!

Here's my script for the GREATEST EVE VIDEO IN HISTORY:

[Station interior. A man in a black bondage-wear flightsuit stands at the staion window, his back to the camera. In the background you hear an electric guitar tearing up some totally awesome jam].

VOICEOVER: (Super serious guy voice) Someone once said: "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind." (Dramatic pause) Whoever said that crap probably played WOW. He certainly didn’t play Eve. In Eve, you collect eyes in a jar of urine by your bedside.

(major screaming guitar riff)

[Outside the window spaceships are exploding, a body come slowly tumbling towards the window where the guy is standing]

VOICEOVER: Okay, that's not true. Yet. Urine jars will be added to the aurum store 'soon'. F*** you anyway.

[Outside you have more explosions and lasers and children screaming. The tumbling body hits the window with a sickening thud, the face is all mashed against the glass but you can still see he looks like Justin Bieber. The eyes pop out and float there waiting to be added to someone’s jar. Then, even though there is no gravity in space, the body slides down and out of sight leaving a bloody smear on the glass]

VOICEOVER: That’s how absolutely bad-ass eve online is. And if you are not playing it it’s only because you are a flaming homo, and the only kind of pirate you will ever be is a butt pirate. (guitar wails like a cat being squished in a vice)

[The guy at the window turns, he is grinning like a lunatic and you see he totally has no eyes!]

Eve Guy: In space you don’t need eyes cuz the overview blocks your view anyway!

[The camera pans down and you see he is holding an electric guitar. He is the one who has been rocking out this entire time! He drops into a major heavy guitar shredding crouch and starts whipping his hair as he jams, then the window behind him explodes and he goes flying out into space still shredding! Then a Rifter flies by and hits him and the body explodes like it was packed full of explosive awesomeness]

VOICEOVER: Eve Online. Now with collectable eyeballs.

[fade to black]

I honestly didn't think it was too bad. I definately thought that thorax was going to get popped by NPC rats but.. nope he got betrayed and woke up to a condescending aura. That's what eve is haha.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
