Cinematics

Would anyone else be interested in seeing cinematics made by intrepid sort of like they did for wow classic tbc and wrath, I feel it would be a cool way to see some of the lore, classes and world and if done properly they become timeless, what's peoples thoughts

Most likely to come out when Ashes is live, Steve's been keeping the LORE pretty close to his chest

Vyril

Yes?

But, don't need them.

CROW3

Definitely - good way to establish tone and ground us in lore.

Would be a nice wayto build hype pre launch, I'd love to see something that shows off all the classes

Waste of resources. Eventually, to attract new customers.

if you look on the wiki you can see they're doing the common story trope for pantheon of gods, celestial powers/realms, rise and fall of civilisations throughout time, calamites and events. Wouldn't really say there is to much to the chest except for the tangential story threads to pull on for specific names.

They probably do have the resources. Probably just see intro cinematic and/or expansion intro cinematics. I wouldn't expect much more than that currently.

No. I'd rather they spent time on content

Would only support this if it were done in the UE5 game-engine they are already using. Both DnD and SWTOR hired-out 3rd parties to make their cinematics, and that's money that could just be going towards further game-content development efforts.

I would 100% support launch + expansion trailers like in ESO made by outsourcing agency; Blur Studio. They do such a phenomenal job setting the tone for each expansion and makes everyone tune in to announcement livestream every year just to watch them. "I don't want them spending money on that"... These trailers not only gets existing players excited to play, but it also gets studios boardmembers/shareholders excited.

Ashes deserves a proper EPIC launch. So I support a full stylized launch trailer.

Intro below is from their recent chapter (expansion) announcement in January, 2024.

No trailers are EVER done in-house... Same with film studios. It's all outsourced from post-production/AV agencies. Ex, most Disney trailers are done by Bond Studios or Midnight Oil.

Establishing story is content.

Absolutely cinematics would be amazing for this game. I remember the extreme amounts of hype surrounding WoW's cinematic trailers for their expansions and the same for other MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV.

While i sometimes miss to have a clearly oversightly, chronological Order -> i was always a huge Fan of the long Cinematics of ESO.

Since the "newest"(?) Ones - and in which a Breton(?) Knight fought all Three of these Cinematic-Maincharacters and kicked lots and lots of Asses,

( also another Person here who is simping on how cool the Knight managed his Greatsword in Battle ),

i am down for such cool Cinematics. One could do it like in World of WoW-Token Craft. Bring like One such a Cinematic each Expansion or so. Maybe one for the End(?) of each Expansion as well.

Not only "Nord-Guy" was at least once punched so hard from the Knight, that he could see Elderscrolls 6.
I was as well. The Animation absolutely rocked.

RazThemun

Certainly would like these. Whether that is per expansion or maybe the start of a season as it were. The fact they are not doing voice acting and such though idk if they want to use funds towards such a cause yet. We shall see. I am all for ways to explain the lore of the land any way I can learn it

daveywavey

Would we not need to have a lot more of the game finished before they even think about this?

I mean sure I'd like them, but I'd prefer to see the money spent on the game development.
