AND drawing in the mouths! That's what's really impressing me to no end! (If it's BAB doing it, I expect we'll have mouth movements on some of our emotes in I14. )

P.S. The link on the announcement page to this topic is in HTML instead of UBB.

P.P.S. Suuuuure is easier to post links to other topics over in those neeeeeew boards, isn't it? Suuuuuuuure would be nice to start heading over there.... <ahem>

Mouth movements / Facial expressions FTW!

I am curious. Are these official advertisements or just play ones?

[edit: I just hope they get permission for stuff like this.]

I am still saddened by the fact that we haven't seen a CG trailer since, the now defunct, City of Hero.

Its win! Pure and simple!

Now put these on TV where they belong!!!!

Meh, myself, I really like using the actual ingame figures and such. Having the small updates of the mouths being animated isn't like getting your hopes up for a whole huge CG fest - and being disappointed. With these at least, it IS just about exactly this, in the game.

Now if only we had a solid white, well-lit but not over-exposed area for doing screenshots... o.o

Use Leandro's splasher program.

Ok, that was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. Good job!

I've GOTTA show the guys at work this video now! lol. I already showed them the first one and they loved it!

That was funny. I like the actual game characters too. Rather see stuff based on our graphics than something unrelated.

Loving the new vids, very funny. Hope to see more soon!

Agree, agree, and agree some MORE!! Just as long as there's a 3rd one where the Villain gets what's coming to him....

lol. Love these videos, and they are worthy for tv imo.

Now when do we get those costume change spinny emotes I had in the suggestions forum a few months back that the hero used?

10 50's To Date! Check out Titan Sentinel; it got my CoH presence synced online

Yep, like the spinny emote, and so want to be a shoe salesman!

Great job on the videos, and the dialogue. The voice acting is great too!

Are these airing on TV? If not, where are they hitting media wise?

And are the credits listed somewhere?

Who ever is coming up with the script for these videos needs a raise. Seriously. Soo funny!

Quick question....

has Justsomerandomguy said anything about these? they very close to his "Hi, I'm a Marvel?"

Really liking the ads - especially the villain

Any chance we'll see these guys ingame? Since they're introducing new players it would be cool to see them as new contacts for Atlas and Mercy, or at least standing next to each other in Pocket D giving out new missions for the holiday events.

Er, they're very close to "Hi I'm a Mac". He took that idea and went with it for Marvel and DC. He doesn't own any part of marvel, dc, or the mac.... so... technically since NC worked this deal out, they've got a way better grasp on the legal aspects of parody here. NC doesn't need to ask their permission to do something like this.

I'm going to be wanting that little costume changing spin now.

me too. Maybe a dev saw my CC change emote thread in Suggestions & Ideas and that was one of them

..hey. i'm allowed to dream

First off, I'm going to dissent with everyone and say, yes, video 1 was funnider. This one was still good though. The villain is a bit hard to understand towards the end. It's a nice touch that what the villain guesses are all available jobs in the game.

Oh, and yes, costume change emote would be good. More emotes are always good.

I also shudder to think how hard drawing the mouths on the characters must be.

To be a killjoy about the TV idea: the ads say nothing about what CoH/V is about. It could be for a new animated sitcom. Coming in cold in watching it, there's no guarantee that someone would pick up that CoH/V is 1) a video game or 2) a MMO. Or even what a skerrick of gamesplay would be like.

Also, both executions were 60+ seconds, which is a very expensive length. Plus it's an ad with a punchline, which can be missed if the audience comes in late / leaves early.

The ads work best online and virally - so send it to your friends! - were people might be able to spend a bit more time watching it and can immediately follow up by going to the official site.

I have to agree with UnSub. These are great ads for those who know about CoH. But for those who haven't heard of City of Heroes, it's amusing, but gives no reason to go play the game.

Maybe they'll like our sense of humor and check it out?

Good job on the ad!

Youtube has better ones.
