I watched it, finally. I found the animations not the level I expected, but were decent (though I'm not very fond of the explosions).

And the dialogues were just plain bad, not a single variation in the voices, they were all calm even after their mate had died, I was expecting a lot of yelling and (at least some) swearing, but nothing.

Another thing, isn't CAF supposed to be "Counter Alien Forces"? How could those pilots be CAF if they are supposed to find out about the Aliens' very existance in that part? I hope the game clears that up for me, cause it's not making a lot of sense from that sequence.


The intro is not necessarily representative of the game itself in any way. As anyone who remembers the soldier-launching Avenger from X-Com's intro will attest. tongue.gif

I never said it was, personally I'm still in love with the game, the gameplay video looked simply outstanding.
I'm literally itching to try it *scratches*

  I personally couldn't care less, if the game is good, so it doesn't lose any points from me. smile.gif

  Yes, the dialogue in the introduction video was not very good. I didn't watch it to the end though, because my PC has apparently become too slow to even play videos well, and sadly this wasn't an exception.

  I just watched it. First impressions was that it was pretty good. Basically it is a 5 minute interception sequence where CAF pilots happen across a few UFO's. The people who did the voices to the pilots did an excellent job. I was half-expecting some strange accents, but it was all in English (American, not British). Everything was clear and well spoken.

The actual dialog was, in my opinion, lacking. The lady at the headquarters was not very believable. Inter-pilot dialog degraded as the video progressed and everyone was strangely cool, calm and collected during the heat of the battle. The head pilot shot off a missile which didn't do anything to the UFO, then declared that this other missile would blow it to smithereens. But why state this? The other pilots should know the stats of the weapons in question. Obviously, the dialog is directed at the listener, but it wasn't realistic.

Luckily, this is only the introduction and in no way reflects how the game will actually play. I still have hope. smile.gif

  My bad, I can't watch either, codec problem apparently (I'm open for suggestions on codecs...) and I compared the filenames and post dates and thought this one was a new one smile.gif
