Intro Movie

from Sins Forums
Is there going to be a intro movie when the game releases. I just preordered today and there's not intro to the beta (which is not a problem)

However, I would really like to see a really cool intro movie once the game releases. IDK why games dont really put intro movies like they use to (many just completely ignore the intro such as Halo 2, Homeworld, etc.)

This one was really good and can be used as a great example : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=voOJ__7Cqrg

the into could just give the outline of the story the Dev's have given us already. (deep breath)
start with a short snipet of how the vasari had a grand empire, then faced a massive cataclysm and are now on the run, then cut to a growing Trader empire, then them finding the Pre-Advent and banashing them, cut to a florishing trader empire, then the vasari jump in and cause violence of a horrific nature. (breath) the show the start of the TEC warmachine (start building warships, or outfitting cargo ships). then show the Advent jumping in to meet TEC forces. then have somekind of slogan or something over the ensueing choas. like the last words of the trailer "....the sins of our past have damed us to extinction"

Homeworld didn't have an intro. When you first launched the game there wasn't an action intro just the company logo and the main title.

As for the whole story outline intro, I prefer if the it'd be more like a heavy action intro. More like this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeAymy1S8wQ

The final game will have an intro movie (it's in production now) and it will not be 2 hours or feature pink space ponies.

Ingame assets or pre-rendered?

So either we're looking at a 4 hour intro, or blue space ponies. Nice... (Edit: We'd better be careful if we don't want an easter-egg movie to find its way in-game involving space ponies...)

thats a good question...
i think it should be pre-rendered...it makes the ponies prettier

prettier ponies ftw!

or blue space ponies.


prettier ponies ftw!


It's physically impossible for ponies to be pretty if they're not pink.

thats point of perspective.

haha, plan foiled!  


agree! and while waffles are certainly tasty that should be a game not a move! imagine the next ironclad game: The Pink Ponnies WAFFLE MAKER!
