Trailer 1 of 3? More to follow?

[RageMasterUK]

Geez nice find Chris. No longer speculation. Need to edit the title of the thread, take the question mark off of the end of it. =D

So since she's asking for ideas on the next cinematic, I thought I'd start laying them down right now.

I think they should continue the story of this battle and pick up where they left off from the last cinematic, with the VS attack wave starting.

Last one managed managed to get Light Assault and Gal transportation theme in one cinematic. Next one should be VS Infiltrators attacking the Heavy Assaults at the same base showing some squadbased communicative Infil strategies to show the communication and teamwork element of the game, perhaps featuring a little bit of Scythe on Reaver dogfighting action to get the air-combat represented.

Third trailer should have TR and feature Heavy-Assault MCG etc, Tank/Anti Tank action. Lay the MAX footage on thick here plz. This trailer should culminate in a clear depiction of the war as an equal struggle between all three empires.

The final cut of all trailers you do should be of the original NC trooper from the current trailer respawning, or clearly rejoining the fight. There is a high demand to see that in the first trailer, but I think thats largely down to people who think there will only be one trailer.

Isnt there supposed to be 1 trailer for gamescom and 1 trailer for release? Or did gamescom already happen?

Wasn't the last one for Chinajoy?

I'm willing to bet it'll just be a gameplay trailer -- not the uber CGI kind.

If they do another gameplay trailer I hope they use footage from an actual battle because people standing stationary or slowly advancing and shooting out in the open is not very interesting. It looks corny to newcomers for sure.

i would like a mid dog fight fly over down a long battle line somewhere. i agree with showcasing the mcg a little and i would also like to see the scythe on account of its unique handling , i figure that would draw crowds.

I would feel magnitudes less disappointed in the trailer if this were to happen...

If they are intending to have three CGI trailers then I would think they would need to have started on the next two before now. I've heard it said multiple times that the first one was a lot of work.

That tweet seems to imply they haven't which makes me doubt 2 more CGI trailers.

It's the ciiir-cle of liiiiiife...

This would be so cool.

I asked TRay on twitter before I knew about this thread and he said to me:

"when the game is extremely successful like I know it will be...I am sure we will make more trailers"

So true.

So, what should the VS trailer capitalize on? I think the VS trailer should show:

- A little more Infiltrator action.
- Magrider action.
- Engineer Action

I think the TR trailer should show:
- A MAX Crash
- A Medic
- A Liberator

This was tweeted after the CGI trailer was released.

Yeah I saw it. I also saw the word "trailer", not CGI cinematic.

Asking for content help means it isn't done. I imagine it would take Blur more than 2ish weeks to put together another cinematic.

Last trailer is when VS dominate and the other 2 factions focus on VS and bring them down.

[bjorntju1]

I am 1000% sure that there are going to be more trailers. Would be weird if this was the last trailer of the game . But more CGI trailers? No, those things are REALLY expensive to make. I think Tray or anonther dev on twitter said that they wanted to make the trailer longer, but when they saw the price it would cost, they just got the trailer we have now.

[Gugabalog]

I'd go the Valve route and hype trailers coming out as much as possible, like the the "Meet The..." series.g
