Opening cinematic for Quake wars.

(signofzeta) #1

You know how Wolf ET has that opening cinematic that is black and white showing some gameplay elements and stuff, what do you think is a best opening cinematic for when you run quake wars when you don’t press any buttons and let the id, SD, activision screen keep on going to see the cinematic?

I think that a cinematic showing the strogg’s first landing to earth, and the GDF’s response to that invasion, similar to the E3 2005 trailer. That should be fitting and would give an idea of why you are playing as who you are, and why you are there in the first place.

So what do you guys think?

Good question.

I think the intro has to be neutral and show both GDF and Strogg at their coolest, since some of us will play as much Strogg as GDF.

Strogg seem to have tons of cool weapons and the GDF is fighting for the future of earth, so there will be reasons to play for both teams.

The music is also important in that opening. Remember the opening of RtCW single player? The orchestrated, eery and powerful music and the rain that fell on the ground, with the game companies names displayed at the same time.

Ah, found it! Here is the RtCW single player intro:


Got to be one of the coolest intros.
(Watch the STALKER intro and notice how it too starts with the camera low, showing hard rain that falls - just like the RtCW intro.)

I’m with SignofZeta, I think the initial invasion is a great idea, sets the whole premise for the rest of the game. And who said it had to only show strogg, it would show both sides. That said it would be strogg attacking and the GDF getting owne like the biatches they are.

I think it should be about baby tapirs

Yeah the RtCW intro was amazing, the W:ET intro was kinda weak compared to that (not that strange if you consider ET wasnt meant to be standalone in the first place, so it didnt really need a special intro).

The ET:QW intro should look a bit like the first scenes in the first trailer, but then with more metal-like music!

It will be a clip of the strogg when they are first planning the invasion of earth. It’ll reveal the real reason for the invasion i.e. to steal all the quiche and tapirs of planet earth!

Yeah to first half and no don’t you dare to second half, I thought the music in the latest trailer was nice especially towards the end, something like that for the music would be great, something dramatic and evoking. Concerning content something starting with the arrival of strogg ships and the destruction of major cities starting the invasion would be great to see then show of each the various maps briefly that shows the key moments of the war as described in interviews.

I wonder if Blur Studios is working on it (RTCW, Warhammer Dawn of War, Marvel Ultimate Alliance animations). They have a great history of amazing animation.

National Geographic should make a documentary about tapirs. The scenes where tapir out runs the cheetah and kills the lion should be used as an intro to the game as to symbolicly demonstrate the raw power that is Quake wars.
