Kingrami Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 When the first game came out, we had 3 wonderful trailers to build up the game. Since then, we've had digital expansion with in-game trailers used. Like some other MMO's(wont say the obvious one), I'd to see bioware make a nice cinematic trailer again. So much of the story has happened and changed since the beginning and it'd be nice to see it with a true trailer. (that CM money can fund the whole thing im sure lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSpectre Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You'd think it possible, but unless I am mistaken, Blur made those cinematics. And they are more expensive to produce than most Movie trailers. So unless BW sits down on another fortune, Don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediRelentless Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If EA is ever going to invest that much money to fund a cinematic again I can only imagine that it will happen around the time when Ep 7 is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough guys. it seems that if the rumors are true about Disney investing into BW starting 2015 to promote star wars to all ages(for the movies) then maybe we will. if not then meh I wish they did, cinematic trailers for star wars would be great, they catch the eyes of many mmo players that may give swtor a chance, or give it a second look.

BenKatarn Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, those original cinematic trailers cost like a million dollars to animate per minute. Given how tight BW's budget seems to be at the moment (additional revenue made from in-game microtransactions notwithstanding), I think that much money would be better spent for the actual development of the game rather than just a piece of promotion material.

VanderII Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Don't waste money with cinematic trailer! I hope Bioware uses resource for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillshock Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Throwing more developers at a product doesn't make it better, in most cases. Usually it takes a "new guy" one to two years to be more productive than he costs the other developers by asking stuff he must get to know. *shrugs* So, unless they have a closed off segment that is really easy to get into with clearly defines interfaces and proper documentation "invest the money into the game" just doesn't work the way amazon hires storage people. Cinematics COULD be totally disjunct from the rest of the product. So if there are excess marketing funds and ambition: that might be a cool way to 'improve' and get some "oooohs and aaaaahs".
