For the fans... D_R's GOING ROGUE teaser is now live

BRAVO! D_R BRAVO! That was amazing! I can only imagine if you had the GR models to do the vids with,can't wait!

ahh you did get it out as you said

Awesome job!! - as usual -


Amazing what you did with the the game models :P

Wow, Now I really can't wait for GR!!

Absolutely beautiful, Michelle. The split-screen scene where they're approaching the portal gave me goosebumps.

I can't wait to see the videos you'll make when you have the shiny new Ultra Graphics engine at your fingertips!

As my comment said, If this doesn't get people wanting to play then nothing will.
What you can do with the tools you have to work with, and consistently beat the people being paid to put the CoX videos together. But they still keep turning you down?

It just boggles the mind, it really does.

Oi!- NC - Employ Samuraiko/Dark Respite/Michelle.
From what we ALL have seen, this is the one person that can get the job done.

Great stuff, keep it up please

Even if there random vidoes, there still great

I say fire the whole marketing department and hire on D_R alone to replace them. Because honestly - what GOOD have they really done since CoV was released? Seriously?


I know Paragon Studios is all one big happy family and me saying that this person or that person should get fired will tick off a lot of people in the company... but with people here like D_R and half the people in the Fan Creations and Multimedia forums being rabid fans and TALENTED to boot... there's a lot of talent that is open and available to the company probably for MUCH cheaper than the marketing department is getting paid for right now.

So I say, fire them all and hire D_R and the freaks in this and that forum. Not only will you get MORE great work done for CHEAPER, but you'll make a LOT of rabid fans happy to boot that want their 15 minutes of pseudo-fame.

Hell, I know that my ego was set for life when I went onto the test server for some game-wide celebration (the one where the devs were releasing GMs in Pocket D) and one player came up to me and said "WOW, you're THE Philotic Knight? Can I get a screenshot with you?"

That literally made my year at the very least. Giving CoH fans the ability to get $5, $10, $20 bucks or even just GIVE advertising work away for the devs to use would make them THRILLED. I can guarantee it.

As my husband John (aka Bloodspeaker) has pointed out, ironic, isn't it, that given that players have donated money to me via my website (ostensibly to keep the site ad-free, but also to help out because making videos isn't cheap)...

... the "best" advertising for the game is actually being purchased by the playerbase?

*shrugs*

Though, really, the 'best' advertising is that which either a) draws new people into the game (or brings former players back), or b) keeps current players playing. I don't know exactly how well my videos do in either capacity.

Michelle
aka
Samuraiko/Dark_Respite

You know what gets me?

That DR's stuff always leaves me more hyped for a release than the "official" trailers ever do...always.

Even better in HD.

Hurry up GR.

Probably because it shows the game as it is played. Not some pre-rendered, super sharp graphics that we are never going to be able to play - no matter what spec our machines are.

It just shows that the reality works better than the fiction.

This IMO is why it works.

A bit like This Link

A little something my much better half did with her then, new video program as one of her first. It shows the game as it is being played, not something that will never be.

We are all in awe of you, D_R you have shown us how to do it in your vids, but no one can make it look as good.

That was a fun watch, Dark. Don't give up on your talent to bring a great story to a visual medium.

If it's making you feel good, keep on keeping on, I say.

Another fine video!

They know that not paying for D_Rs time gets the the videos made within their apparently limited marketing budget.

Another great video! Love it! Ooohh can't wait for Going Rogue.

Not fair! I was perfectly accepting of Going Rogue's not being available until next year until this video!

Your videos are always so good, I can't wait to see how they'll look post-GR with the new shiny. I hope your system can handle it!
