Our characters in cutscenes

(Schwarzeis) #1

In the video in that link we get to see the Resistance AND the Security cutscene of the Aquarium

From what I saw the guy with the Eel Mask who didn’t talk in the Security one and the asian man in the Resistance one is the player - he does no talking, he is only there and acts with the talking main-characters

I don’t see a problem with this in single-player at all - I do however see a problem with it online with 8 player characters in the cutscene…

Will our characters actually talk then, replacing the talking main-characters? Or will it be one of these:

  1. Everyone gets their own cutscene with the main characters and their character as the no-talking guy

  2. Everyone gets the same cutscene with all 8 player characters cramped into a tight little spot without talking, the main characters are still there and talks

Anyways… Splash Damage, holy **** the cutscenes were great! I can’t wait to see the others :slight_smile:

I thought the Eel masked fellow was the person to say the first words in the Security cutscene.

Thought so first too, then I realized it was not

its 2, one of the things about the game is that your not the main character your a soldier with the war being the main character, sometimes you’ll be the dude in charge and others you’ll be filling in the background

So there will be 16 characters in the cutscene? :confused:

Becuase that is what it means there will be if you follow #2 :stuck_out_tongue:

*So you mean that all 7 (+you) characters will be replaced by your team mates and yourself, doing the talking and all that mumbo-jumbo?

(obliviondoll) #6

No, it means there will be 8 - only your side - both factions get unique cutscenes every step of the way.

(Schwarzeis) #7

And those 8 characters will be my and my teammates characters, meaning they also will do the talking, yes?

(Jess Alon) #8

Probably. And there will most likely be plaid shirts, dork.

Why so mean, Jess? :<

Some time ago someone on here or the Bethesda forum said that our characters wont say squat in the cutscenes, both online and offline, and I have yet to receive some official info on this matter

Sure they maybe said they would a long time ago, but things that was planned before change as you can see

Eh, hopefully Exedore can come and answer this

I think all the rehashed threads are getting to his head.

Pretty much this. We once had an idea with all player characters in cinematics and a bouncing ball across subtitles so the players could do the dialog themselves, but that blew peoples’ minds.

Haven’t been on here for a while, is there really that many ‘‘used subject’’ threads to make people upset? :confused:

(Jess Alon) #13

Someone from SD has replied to this thread and it hasn’t shown up yet.

(Schwarzeis) #14

Really? :smiley:

Perfect, then we’ll just have to wait :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: There are staff posts on alot of threads, you sure this just isn’t a forum bug? :confused:

(EnderWiggin.DA.) #15

It’s an operative! Badman just unlocked the achievement “Hack SD forums, mess with Brink fans.” +500 XP. :slight_smile:

ENEMY OPERATIVE SPOTTED

How do I know you’re not actually working for Splash Damage, Ender? :eek:

(Seyu) #17

I guess this occurs when they delete their posts.

(Schwarzeis) #18

But none of them wrote anything here in the first place? :confused:

(Ragoo) #19

Might be that they sometimes wait for confirmation if they are allowed to make certain information public?

Or it’s just a bug but I think whenever this symbol was there sooner or later there was a dev post.

maybe he deleted it immediately after Paul had smacked him on the head for revealing something they were not supposed to…
