Crysis Multiplayer trailer (ideas)

    I'm writing this, because the other thread died and it was too abstract. So now let's move from abstract to exact. You have agreed, that probably the first and most important thing to do is a trailer for Crysis Multiplayer. Let's discuss this little bit. I want you to start thinking like if you wanted to make your own one. Here are some of the basic questions we need to solve: 1. What do you think there should be shown? graphics? jumping and flying? infantry battles? vehicle battles? new maps? new mods? There is kind of lot to show and it will require to select only the best, and make a movie with high density of information and high attractiveness. 2. So rather 1 movie with everything together, or more of them separated by topic? Both options have advantages. 3. How long it should be? My guess is 2-4 minutes, because 1:30 is too short, and 5 mins already too long. Say any ideas, describe any scene, or even whole concept how exactly do you imagine it. At the end of this year, i would like to know exactly what to do.

    My short opinion - nothing new I've been talking about it for months - but let's make some finall order in it. I mean here comes only my final thoughts about it - I won't bother you with anything more. I'm sure that I will make at least 4 trailers and at least 5 Crysis movies (with story) next year - as I was planning since 2011. But it's another story because it will take months to finish - so it shouldn't stop anyone from making own trailers if you are in a hurry and need to have something ready really soon. Anyway: Of course Trailer can't be longer than 3 minutes. Unlike Crysis story movie (which can be even 15-30 minutes long) - trailer has to be short (hard thing for me) with fast actions and max 3-7 seconds of shots - just like music videos or latest frag movie of Youda :) This kind of action. But this is obvious. Now about subjects/topics - First of all - I think we would need at least 3-4 trailers in the future and... One of them - kind of "main one" - should be about all basic things in Crysis MP of 2014/2015. All features old and new ones together. For example "Classic modes", "New modes" - and here 30 seconds of short shots about that, "New Maps" and 10 of 5 second shots about 10 - 20 new custom maps, "Gaining Skills" - few shots about WJ and CJ, Aiming, "Many Vehicles", "Free roam exploring", "Training others"... and so on... So all topics in one 3 minutes video - Just in one trailer - "the main one" - the one that can be enough to show it to people who have never seen Crysis MP - to let them know what kind of things can they find in it. Just like that. 3 minutes and they have the idea. But other 2 or 3 trailers should be "separated by topic" - like you've said. So again - one trailer only about old and new maps - what changes were made after years and why things are better now. Another one about skills only - how much "sport" people can find here, fast action - fast aiming, jumping, boxing, etc. Another trailer only about game modes, etc. Those are of course very basic things and examples because Crysis is so universal and open for possibilities that I'm sure there can be at least 10 topics - each for different trailer (but this is what I'm going to work on whole 2015 - trying to dive deeper under the surface of CryEngine 2 and SandBox 2). I think that's all from me. Just basic thoughts. Good luck with your ideas and take your time. PS: One more thing - as you probably know Youtube already allows 60 FPS so let's keep that in mind while recording. I'm recording with 60 FPS most of the time (So I have already many hours to choose from - for trailers about Crysis battles and fun) but I still upload most of things with 30 FPS. Mainly because of the file size of my definitely 2 long (20-40 minutes) videos. But I'm sure for 3 minutes long trailer - 60 FPS won't be a problem at all. I don't think Full HD is necessary for Crysis recorded with 4xAA (unlike BF3/BF4 and other few new ones - Crysis looks still pretty sharp on 1280*720) - but 60 FPS always makes it look really amazing - no matter the resolution. So FPS issue during future recording is quite important - I think. I'm out. Please feel free to post all your thoughts on Youda's questions. Thanks a lot.

    1. I think there should be shown everything what Crysis offers (planes, boats, infantry,...) but I don't know about wall and circle jumping, it could some people attract to Crysis but on the other hand it could some people dissuade. Regarding mods I think all mods should be included, something from each mod. 2. There I want to ask you, how do you want to promote that trailer? If we have done several trailers or movies then we would have to promote it more hard, I don't think it would be much successful. I'd rather prefer one trailer, it would got more views and people would stick together via comments atleast, eg. if you watch a trailer I don't think you look for more similar trailers like you have already seen, in most situations only the first, you have seen, affects you the most. That's why I want only 1 trailer. 3. Judging by other successful trailers it should long around 2 minutes. In the end I post a video of good trailer in my opinion:
