Brink Machinima/Short Story Ideas- Security BREACHED!


(RabidAnubis) #1

I want to do a brink machinima, which is something like A-Wall, RvB, or something like that. I’m on the PS3… SO…

Ideas!

Idea 1:
I was thinking about a story about (and focused on) a fairly sucky team of Security people, who have all the luck in the world, opposing a very tactical, organized team of Resistance members who are hardcore, but the most unlucky **** happens to them, making sure they fail.

Idea 2:
The second idea is that once again the security team will suck, but this time they lose horribly, unable to do anything, overly jokeative snobs, that think they are doing great.

Issues- I saw the brink gameplay on security tower (Pretty epic) but I don’t have a recorder =(! I need one in order to countinue, and I was thinking the recorder could play as an operative disguised, which would hide most of the screen.

Advantages

Okay. I don’t care whether or not you think this game is perfect. Now that this is aside… First off, I think Brink has SEVERAL great qualities for making a machinima story deal, that most games don’t have to offer at all! (You may not have realized them at all!)

[ul]
[li]-Lots of life & ammo in a clip (Needs to be moddable by the players (in private matches) splashdamage! RAWR!) meaning you can do long firefight scenes.[/li][li]-Different body types and costumes give a wide range of characters for a story, without it being simply color based. (I’m color blind… Red V.S. Blue was REALLY confusing)[/li][li]-Parkour was great for the game, and will be great for a machinima too. No more having snipers have to take the long way around, or jump up a cliff! No, you can now hop up to it epically, looking ninja![/li][li]-Two very different looking teams for the most part, avoids confusion.[/li][li]-Objectives we can use as props, like the Security Bots.[/li][li]-Varied maps. Several key defensive points to give a great ‘fortress’ feel.:wink:[/li][li]-Great things to make fun of (Cuz they cheesy!) in the game. For instance, I REALLY want to know what that iPad app is that lets you disguise yourself, hack into computers, electronically force things to open, among many other things, Ipad is an easy one to make fun of. ( “We’re backing out in 5… 4…” One of the soldiers turns on their mics. “Okay dude? What the hell? He’s ALMOST to the line damnit! What’s so ****ing important???” “Don’t you know that we have a pizza order tonight!? I mean, come on, I paid 50$ for the whole team to get this ****!!!” )[/li]
[li]Now those are some of the reasons why I think a Brink Machinima would be fun. ^:tongue:[/li][/ul]

Okay!

Please specify what your own personality is!


(LightningV) #4

Laid back, level headed, with a hint of one liners. :cool:

Considering the rag tag nature of the Res and the high n tight Sec, it might be good to do it the other way. The Res are goofballs and the Sec are serious but still lose.


(RabidAnubis) #6

I really couldn’t think of a name for resistance though.

Security Breached! says 2 things: 1, that these people fail. 2, that these people are in the security.

I don’t know anything that would have the same comical effect. And it is supposed to be making fun of that a little bit also.

But if you have any other names, please! Tell me!


(SinDonor) #7

I would title it:

To the Brink of Insanity


(RabidAnubis) #8

Hmmmm… Pretty good. I like it rather. Okay, redoing the poll, for the name of the game instead


(RabidAnubis) #9

Is there a way to redo the poll?


(SinDonor) #10

Dunno, sorry, never done one.


(Acorn1021) #11

Machinimas are for 12 year olds.


(FireWorks) #12

So are video games…


(wolfnemesis75) #13

I voted for Idea 1. But both ideas are good. Sounds funny.


(RabidAnubis) #14

I’m not doing this one overly serious dude. It’s just for the hell of it!


(wolfnemesis75) #15

Ignore nick… I mean Acorn1021. They both are trolls. :wink:

Just when Brink was released, I had the very brief flitting idea of doing a one man machinima, a suspense/horror type thing called Alone in the Ark. Basically the premise is that a guy fleeing to the safe haven of the Ark finally finds it, only to discover that it’s entire inhabitants have disappeared. He wanders the Ark piecing together what happened, and well you get the gist. Being that all it required was me, it was easy to set up and organize, hence specifically making it a lone survivor type thing. Problems…

I assumed since it was using a modified ETQW build of idtech 4, there would be demo support, freecamming and spline cam creation using Maya, or hannes would get CT3D working… none of that works. That would mean requiring 2 people, with the ‘camera man’ having the HUD disabled and noclip to cam around, but that’s messy and I don’t want to have to rely on someone else, especially since there’s no demo support and I can’t just work away with captured scenes.

As far as your idea, I’ve been on the RvB forums posting guides and helping in the machinima section for almost 7 years. The common theme with machinimas that try and replicate RvB is that they just aren’t funny or original enough, RvB’s success owes a lot to creative and humerous writing, and generally funny scripts and great voice acting. If you can nail that then good on you.


(RabidAnubis) #17

I’m not trying to replicate RvB.

First off, I do enjoy your critism, just to mention that.
Secondly, the R/S will never team up, and I was considering it only focus on one side of the story, the other side would basically be just random people that don’t matter.
Also, in RvB both sides suck, in this one only one team will suck.

But if you have any ideas on how to help me make it more original, I would be glad for your help!

I vote idea 1. You’ll be able to have the most fun with that. hehe

Also Dark’s Idea is golden too. I really wish I could help, but I’m a 360 user.
