Discussion: COH/COV for Mac!

Hey folks,

Check out the latest installment of the Hero vs. Villain Videos.

Hero & Villain Video #3!

These are awesome! Seriously these should get prime time air, to combat the WOW ads that have been on... Im sure Apple would pitch in...

---

while fun...this was a great missed example of having fun AND explaining a key feature. Explain that he doesn't have the experience being a hero that I do, but as my sidekick, we can fight crime together!

Thank you for the time...

Arc 5299: Magic, Mystery, and Mayhem Updated!! 09/15/09

Ok, I gotta ask. Who does the voices on these? More so, who's doing them?

Are these a Dev thing? Or is it some awesome player?

---

Can these please get some airtime? I am so tired of the question "You play computer games/online games/MMO's?" I answer "Yes" and the other person immediately says "Oh like WoW?"...arrggghhh...its not the only MMO/online game out there, but it is the only one people have heard of (damn you William Shatner, Ozzy Osbourne and all the others that make WoW commercials).

I would love for people to have actually heard of City of Heroes...heck, when the game first came out for retail, I just lucked upon it at Best Buy and bought it not even knowing what it was really about (my first and only MMO btw).

Even if you don't want to give the presentation...how about a post explaning how you do the cool mouth and eye animation? Did you do a demo record and record it then add the animation, or did you create these guys as models in another tool? (I was going to say "just create these guys"...and realized there would be nothing "just" about it.)

It's a player - Stone Falcon has done all three of these.

And to answer someone else's question - the voice of the 'hero' is the same guy who voiced Captain Omegabot in Stone Falcon's video "The Revenge of Dr. Mechanico." No idea who voices the villain.

As for how the video was made - Leandro's Splasher program to make the background white, demoediting to make the characters move, and I gather frame-by-frame animation to animate the mouths and eyes.

How do I know all this? Stone Falcon emailed me.

you know I was thinking that it may be possible to get some mouth movements by taking say Face 1, photoshoping some different expressions on it, the using Leandro's splasher program to put them as different faces in game then using Constant Costume changes in a demo edit.

but i've yet to try it

"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

Very cute, all 3 of them

I want Mr. T in on this immediately.

On Guardian!

Bwahaha! These things are great! Kudos to whoever's behind them!

---

Third one was great, hahaha!

The second is my favorite overall, but yeah!

Get these on TV!

---

-STEELE =)


Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Funny. First thing I thought of, when the hero said he was a shoe salesman was Al Bundy. I kept expecting to hear Peg, in the background yelling Aaaal!

And the sprinkle donuts for henchman. Got a kick out of that one, too.

I would like the developers to research how much it would cost to get air time for these CoX commercials on Spike TV. Then setup a donations web site on pay-pal, or create a special costume peace for sale or something where all monies made from the sale go toward paying for air time commercials for these ads. They are THAT good, I'd put in $10 bucks for it. I'll go buy my copy of mac add on stuff later this week.
