4.86 Release Date and Teaser

[shemkel]

I do hope that some unguided missiles would be awesome.

We need hydra 70 plx?

Well... You'll have to test it to see if it's what you desire.

I have one last submission:

Ships can catch on fire. Ships on fire continually lose hull/shield. They go out after either docking/1 minute or a new ship (fire engine?).

Ignore the fact that fire needs something to burn off. Lets just say its burning off peoples souls.

Yeah, we still have soooooo much time to include new features in .86 and test it...
And I hope you do know the meaning of word "sarcasm"

Casey is well versed in Sarcasm Cogito.


Edit:

Zahas threw me the teaser link (no embedded stuff on phone :@ ) and I must say, epic.

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.

[shemkel]

I'll judge it when I'm done trying it out.

Wonder how many man-hours that teaser took...

More than it looks like...
but it's probably because I don't have any great experience in video editing.

Once a Xeno - Always a Xeno

[shemkel]

The teaser is very well made so I wont comment its quality. Nevertheless I would like to ask few questions which instantly arrived in my mind once the trailer ended:

1. Why there are so few scenes with the real enemy that is rising from the west? (example: The invisaion of GRN ships coming to Sirius)

Because it's a teaser. Not a GRN commercial.

2. Why 40% of the teaser trailer is pointing only rheinland?

It's not 40%. And the Rheinland scenes are there because it looks good imo.

3. The logo of the Exiles in the end of the trailer was formed by 3 flags: Kusari/Council/Bretonia. I've seen some ships from the Council and Kusari but my question is: Where is bretonia in this trailer since its going to be the main battlefield in the mod?

You're right here. All the bretonian scenes I recorded wasn't good enough. But again - it's a teaser. Feel teased.

4. Why the video is concentration on quick preview of mulpultiple random encounters instead of showing actions/moments from the story line? Examples could be many:
-Gaians allying with GRN and fighting together the bretonia fleet.
-Kusari fighting with GRN and how they cease fire (the treaty between them gallia and kusari for cease fire).
-A fleet of kusari/bretonian ships fighting GRN in Leeds.
-Rheinland loosing Munster base (fleet battle moments).
-Liberty transporting parts of the munster base with heavy convoy.
-The fall of Toledo, swarmed by nomads.
-More quick images of the epic and interesting systems in Gallia.
-Preview of new Nomad worlds.
- and etc...

Because it's a teaser:PVideo about certain RP events is another thing. Besides - there will be enough time for players to make some vids too:)

To the members that created the trailer: You did great job and please dont take any of my thoughts as offend.

No offence taken.:)

Time to analyze that video:

0:12 Kusari BC
0:24 No idea what those are... Gallic Armored Trains (?)
0:26 Rheinland BCght carrier(?)
0:30 New Jinkusu
0:36 New Blossoms (?)
0:40 Gallic Civilian Bomber/VHF (?)
0:50 Samura Scouts (?) or just some Arrows
0:55 New Valor (I can't spot major differences... are there any?)
0:59 IMG Transport + IMG fighters
1:02 Gallic horizontal trade lanes
1:03 Some Gallic ship (?)
1:04 Council Cruiser (?)
1:06 Red Hessians BS with fwd cannon(?)

I ignored the awesome new stations.

[shemkel]

I won't say if your guesses are right.
But I strongly encourage everyone to try to pinpoint all the new things in the teaser. I think almost every scene has something new in it.

That's all?
The .85 Teaser was much better.



Oh and people still can't write Rheinland correctly.:rtfm:

In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.

[shemkel]

With no offense, I find this a lot better...

Yeah, this video is really nice. The only problem is that it's only theme-related to the mod itself.
There are lots of videos with great scenes rendered in 3d software. And you can do such videos without even seeing the alpha version. But still - this video was meant to show as much of the new stuff as possible.
