PS video I just made

[ComerEste]

Hey guys, long time lurker of the PSU boards here, only recently created an account. I've been addicted to Planetside since I first tried it in 2004, and have been going through withdrawals since the outfit I was with went to other games, to which I followed. Anyways, just wanted to post a video I put together by recording youtube video's of other peoples Planetside experiences and also using a bit of SOE footage. I'm sure if anyone was a part of the video's, you'll recognize it right away.:cool:

I made it for a couple reasons. Primary being that I am dieing with anticipation about Planetside 2 on the horizon. Another being an homage to the game, developers, and community behind it. And finally, to use as a tool to show people in my current SWTOR guild that this game is no joke. Some of them still can't wrap their heads around a few hundred people fighting over a base and not lagging. It's really only something us veterans understand.:)

Would love to hear feedback on it. I'm still learning the software though, so be gentle.:cool:

Excellent! I usually don't watch these things to the end, but I made an exception here. That was really good! Correctly paced and informative.

Well done sir!

[Zekeen]

Love it! It made me even MORE excited for PS2. Well done!

[Arktype]

[Duddy]

Nice video, pulled on the old nostalgia strings!

[CyclesMcHurtz]

Wow! That was great!

[RawketLawnchair]

beautiful job

[Patek]

good stuff

[Luperza]

This is fantastic! Thanks. =] We have such a great fan base. You're all awesome!

[MCYRook]

This just gave me warm feelingz inside. :love:

Pity about the abrupt ending, other than that nicely done. :)

[dachlatte]

One of the best fan videos I have seen so far. Kudos to you good sir! Well done!

[Notser]

Very well done sir, pretty much the perfect tone in my opinion of Planetside for a lot of players. So many epic memories, hope there are thousands more with Planetside 2, KEEP IT UP!

[Gandhi]

Nice! It really captured the feel of the game, and brought back some good memories too. Oh god I can't wait for the beta :D

[ringring]

Fantastic ... nicely done.

[Hermes]

Excellent work mate! Well paced, good footage and nicely arranged.

[SuperMorto]

Your video is:

Well don on the video, this is what its all about!!

[DarkSkyes]

Nice vid, it actually is starting to look like the original game.

Now all they need to do is slow down the TTK, remove the fog and those "you are out of bounds" messages and we should be good to go :)

[roguy]

That's probably the best footage of PS1 that I've seen, great job! =)

[King Green]

Absolutely brilliant work dude :D

[Shogun]

welcome to the forums and great work on that video! must have been a long search to find all the best parts of ps1 videos and combine them to one with only the most epic moments! and good usage of the brandnew ps2 footage!

don´t like the music very much, but that´s just my taste ;)
some don ferone planetside music would perfect it ;)

i was hoping for some videos like that when the tb footage and the airbattle videos came out! nice work in finally making the first official low quality trailer obsolete!

want beta! want to see how epic it can get this time!

[DxC]

Nice one :)

[DAtlas]

This video is good, trust me i'm a terran

[Gogita]

Man, looking back at the Air Footage, it makes me worried that people unfamiliar will think that it's actually CG and not ingame xD

[Dale]

Outstanding! Watched it three times so far... :groovy:

[Lorgarn]

I watched it till the end. Good job, sir. :)

I'm looking forward to create new memories with you all in PS2!

[Mastachief]

Excellent really well made, captures the essence of the first game very well.

[Shogun]

Excellent really well made, captures the essence of the first game very well.

... AND translates it to the new graphical awesomeness very good as well!
i used to show people some old ps1 videos and some screenshots of ps2 and would tell them to imagine the scale and feel of the ps1 video with the graphics of the ps2 screenshots. now i can just link to 1 video that does all of this for me ;)

[Mod]

Great video. Also, good job on the accompanying audio track, really fit well :)

[MrBlip]

Felt good seeing my video in there. Well done and nicely put together.

[Punisher]

WOW!
Can't wait to show this to friends to show them what it was like and what to expect! Fantastic job!

[Aaron]

Wow, that captured a lot of emotion of PS!

Just a bit of editing critique. To avoid the black outline in the youtube video, you should adjust your render size to about 1280x720, or 720x480 (preferably the higher res).

Around 4:13, when the song climaxes, I think the fades should be more snappy, instead of a slow fade.

Other then that, great job!

Oh, and this I think also had some great footage. Possibly usable. 40+ reavers FTW!

Fantastic Vid! Gotta put that up everywhere folks! :D

"We are swarming Tumas, Kill everything"

That sounds awesome! I really miss the old days of Planetside

[kaffis]

This video really pointed out to me how much aircav has dominated the PS2 gameplay footage we've seen, though. It's pretty obvious Higby's a Reaver nut. We need some gameplay videos from treadheads!

[Miir]

Excellent job on the video!

[Electrofreak]

Awesome video! Brings back old memories and kindles excitement for new experiences.

My favorite thing about the video? It features the NC basically owning everyone else.

:ncrocks:

[CrystalViolet]

Very very well done. You've got talent my friend.

[Hamma]

Great job!!

[Felborne]

Great Job Mate!!!:thumbsup:

:vsrocks::wantbeta:

[Dairian]

Best Planetside video so far! Great job!

[GunslingerX]

Awesome vid! Not having been a part of PS1 :tear: it was great seeing how the battles were organized. Thanks!

[Hmr85]

One of the best videos I have ever seen I really enjoyed it. It brought back lots of memories of my PS1 days. I can't wait for PS2.

Ya, I wanted to use some footage from that, but for some reason FRAPS wouldn't record it when I went full screen.

And thanks for the feedback guys. I'll remember your comments when I go to make PS2 vids in the future.:cool:

I definitely want to use some Don F. music in future videos, here's hoping the PS1/2 soundtracks are one of the things you can buy in the store.:D

[Socks]

nicely done! I think you've cought the essence of planetside in your vid, which is hard to do :)

[Taru]

Well done!

[RovingDeath]

I absolutely loved it; that video brought back a lot of fond memories. I was trying to get my wife to watch it while I explained what was happening, but she just looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead. Planetside is something that has to be experienced first hand, I guess. Loved the music choice too, by the way. Almost made me cry :cry:

[Jennyboo]

Great Video I loved it!! :)

[Gandhi]

Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights.

Well at least I got to see it once before GEMA got their filthy hands on it :rolleyes:

[Higby]

Very, very cool! Thank you for making that!

[Rumblepit]

well done!!! hope to see some more

[ComerEste]

Wow! That was great!
This is fantastic! Thanks. =] We have such a great fan base. You're all awesome!

Very, very cool! Thank you for making that!

Thanks all, I don't know what to say lol. If I had known it was going to do this well, I would've spent a little more time in the editing process. Lesson learned for the next time.:cool:

[Shogun]

hehe team up with morto!
you two have a lot of talent!

and soe will really have a hard time topping your videos with an official trailer ;)

[Serpent]

Great tribute video, song went well with it too :)

[Xaine]

Thirty Seconds to Mars make it that much more epic. :D

Great job.

[Atheosim]

You did an excellent job of capturing the essence of PS1 and then showing everybody that it lives on in PS2. Very well done.

[CyclesMcHurtz]

Thanks all, I don't know what to say lol. If I had known it was going to do this well, I would've spent a little more time in the editing process. Lesson learned for the next time.:cool:

I look forward to your next one!

(Psst ... I thought the music was a nice choice!)

[Xyntech]

Nice. I love the contrast of the old and the new. Not as much of a contrast considering how good your PS1 footage was.

As fondly as I remember the first game, I'm not sure I would put it as an advertisement for the new game in it's present state, but footage like this is perfect.

Seriously getting pumped for beta. Cool to see these vids are helping keep the devs pumped as well.

[Jonny]

That was cool. I liked the syncing of the reload animation between the two PS2 clips - nice touch.

wasn't blown away by the music choice..

[Greeniegriz]

Very well done!

Cheers,

GG

Actually, I can't take credit for that. Who ever made the original footage was responsible for that piece of genius. I wish I was that good.:cool:

This is the video it's from, around 2:57 you'll see it.
PlanetSide 2 Alpha Highlights Video - YouTube

[J Baley]

Well done! I liked the music choice, very appropriate :D

[TheRealStinky]

Very cool!

[JADO]

Very cool video :thumbsup:

[Ruffdog]

Outstanding. The low res stuff made me remember playing in 05 with a laptop :dance:
This is your first go? You have a talent!

[MonsterBone]

My wife was dancing to this. Sexy

[Captain1nsaneo]

Well at least I got to see it once before GEMA got their filthy hands on it :rolleyes:

Oh the places you'll go with proxies. Here's hoping it's not banned in the UK!

Nicely done video ComerEste, actually restored some of my excitement for the game I've lost due to constant exposure. Enjoyed the music, tempo change synced with the transition. Would have liked more introductory text similar to the beginning explaining what was going on. That way some of the simpler questions in the comments could be headed off (original release date, explanation of what "couldn't be done", player counts, etc).

[robocpf1]

Nicely done!

Ya, I thought about putting captions in some of the scenes explaining the game, but the idea came to me AFTER I had already put it on youtube lol.:rolleyes:

[arclegger]

Great work on the video, stuff like this resonates with people more than a official video. Word of mouth and sharing stuff like this is going to help make this game successful. Thanks for making such a great video.

You sly bastards also don't need to worry about securing the rights to use songs when the fans make their own videos ;)

Keep pumping out the footage as you are able. That air combat video has provided some of the most amazing footage ever. Clearly it has inspired a lot of creativity for these fan made videos. The more awesome footage there is, the more diverse the fan videos get.

[ComerEste]

I added all the video's I used to the description of mine in hopes that it will make up for not properly crediting everyone's videos at least a little. :cool:
