So this trailer is not to give people realistic expectations of what the game is like.

A trailer would be a nice idea! Smile

But there is no Svn or Beta for Xonotic...
On what did you especially think?

Are you serious? I hate game trailers that do not have gameplay action, because they don't give you an idea of the game experience.

The trailer should have at least 50% in-game action in it.

i love game trailers with film atmosphere /cut,music,sound-effect and story/, but game trailer should also offer excerpts from the in-game playing

Oh yes, the trailer as a whole think has to fit...
Everything should be done great Wink

something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X-jmIz1c...re=related
i mean, trailer must show all game features one after another

oh yes that's a good example!

ok but not only ingame sceens!!!
it has to be graficaly impressive! Big Grin

Let's start working!

Hmm
ok, would help working on this trailer Smile

...but which screenshots? which ingame videos? Tongue

maybe something like this Tongue

PATH TO FREEDOM

I've made it a while ago, nothing special. But it's probably first nexuiz movie with some plot Big Grin

There is no beta, alpha or anything out yet. Let's wait 'till xonotic is ready for the first REAL release and concentrate on a small trailer then.

A trailer, I should reiterate, that does not have doctored/modified/shopped/after effect'd frames. The last thing we need is someone looking a a trailer and thinking, "WOW AWESOME", then joining a server and thinking "THIS SUX LOL".

Well, IMO we could publish some kind of teaser without actual in-game gameplay (or maybe just quick flashes) when Xonotic is about to be published as a beta (or even before that). The teaser is going to be some kind of mysterious "a game called Xonotic is going to be released, stay tuned: it kicks ass". Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj2hewPBQh0

When the final 1.0 release is just around the corner, the actual trailer will be published with in-game action etc. And the actual trailer is going to tell the public WHAT kind of game Xonotic really is. And that's going to be an ordinary trailer-like clip, you know what I mean.

What do you think about my opinion?

Oh wow!

Exitum, something like this could be used for a small intro! I like that Smile

Very nice ideas!! How fast (after the release of Xonotic 1.0) do we want to make the video? Wink

A video will probably be made prior to release.

It's been mentioned before, but it needs to be something/show something like kickin it off by PCLizard action wise an have good editing.

That will attract more people then releasing a video after it's release.

What about this kind of trailer?

It has some movie elements , some gameplay and some short facts. I like it.

Yes, but for god's sake, no doctored videos or screens.

but nothing with seeing the menu, entering a game and loading!!! only gameplay or other videos!

You can't realize impressions of the Crysis Trailer. Crysis has got a story, and Xonotic is a ultra-fast ego-shooter, single player. Would be a great idea, such a trailer, but no chance to realize it Sad

. Somebody has to invent a story, so more and more players would start the campaign Smile

Could also perhaps invent a campaign first Big Grin

Yes, with a "true" ingame story, if any one hear knows how to record a professional video, we would have a great trailer Smile

Wasnt there a small team which wanted to work on the singleplayer? Would be nice to get a small sitrep, have they decided on a plot? Stuff like this would be important for a trailer. If there isnt, we could simply use a trailer showing some hot multiplayer action.

Fisume is right. We have a team? Didn't know that...

It's nothing official (yet!), but have a look at these:

A couple of guys set something up for discussing singleplayer, but I'm not exactly sure what's going on at the moment.
