Yeah - it could turn out to be ruled by a guy whose empire, like his power, knows no bounds - he might even be preparing his troops for assualt.

They made Praetoria this way.
They thought you'd serve them.
Are they right...or wrong?

I noticed that. They may be waiting for BayCon, or perhaps after BayCon.

Well, maybe that's because it's not coming "tomorrow" anymore but "soon" as in "today".

too optimistic?

Is there somewhere this video can be viewed other than Sell-your-information-to-Russian-identity-thieves-(Face)book?

You don't need to log in to that site.

Since when does six seconds of absolutely nothing count as a video? This one has nothing that we haven't seen in the various screenshots, only it has Desdemona doing the /em cutthroat emote. I don't mean to be a dick here, but this "video" is just empty space.

Well, I guess if I'd never seen absolutely anything else about Going Rogue ever it could be great, but I've seen the promos, I've seen the trailers, I've seen the screenshots, I've seen the site. So, yeah... Not really excited about a six-second screenshot.

Several people have pointed out that we haven't seen either Maelstrom or Desdemona rendered ingame yet.

Or seen the location of Mother Mayhem's building, and the Powers Divison HQ - or that strangely stiff-armed statue of Tyrant outside his tower

Odd... For some reason, I've always thought of Tyrant as a narcissist who would build larger statues of himself, like on the scale of Atlas or that statue in Blyde Square in Steel...
Maybe I'm wrong though.

And what difference does that make? I saw them rendered in-game, and, shockingly, they look exactly like their matte paintings, which were no doubt made after the in-game models.

And how much of that did you see? I had to watch the movie something like three times just to spot what's in the background, and in the end... It's just more white buildings. I guess I might be excited about them once I'm in-game looking at them for myself, but seeing split-second glimpses of them is hardly news. Especially considering this whole place looks like the mock-up of Praetoria they've been showing around since very much the first day, that place with the tall tower and plaza in front of it.

---

Really, I get that it's "something new," but are we really THAT desperate for more Going Rogue stuff that we'll jump at what is literally and figuratively NOTHING? Maybe I'm biassed, considering the zillions of "Where's mah GR info!?!" threads a few months back did little more than irritate me. Maybe I'm immune to hype. I don't know. But if this were another trailer, a developer walkthrough, a movie that breaks at least a minute's worth of footage, maybe I'd be excited. But a 6-second spin around two characters that have no business standing back-to-back? Ugh...

This is the equivalent of that Half-Life 2 pre-alpha that got leaked, like, a year before the game's release, only it's even LESS.

I think you're either using "nothing" or "literally" the wrong way there

No, I'm not. You could turn it into a semantic argument, but it doesn't change the fact that this movie is quite literally nothing. It's empty space. It's dead air. Six seconds of nothing. Just like a person can speak for hours and hours and end up saying absolutely nothing (I should know), so this "video" is nothing. There's picture on it and there's a timer ticking, but there's nothing to see. Just in the same way as a person saying nothing is technically speaking words, he's still saying absolutely nothing.

You could have posted six seconds or random pixels or six seconds of RickRoll and it would have been the same effect. You could have posted six seconds of the Invisible Man in outer spate and it would have been about the same.

Seriously. I don't mean to crap on people's parade, because more Going Rogue information is always cool. But I'd literally have appreciated a single high-res still screenshot of the two more than that "video."

Haha, well, whatever the 6 second video was worth... It was more entertaining than reading someone talk about how meaningless it was... And it was quicker too!!

Nah, he makes every family own a personal shrine with a golden statue of himself. They must shower it with candy and flowers everyday and personally shine his mask or the PPD will find them guilty of not supporting the all-benevolent tyrant.

(All hail Tyrant!)
