What does it say!!!!!! X(

well its pretty long winded but it recaps the war, talks about build a wall (when the starbases are pictured) and revamping the TEC forces (w00t!) then how some have had enough of war and now they are going to try diplomacy (this shift begins at the pretty planet scene with the diplomatic building I am assuming)

if you want details, I am sorry to say but you really should watch it where you can get sound

Good video :)  Maybe there will be less delays because starbases and mines don't have to be balanced!! Those were the big killers for Entrenchment.

Great video. I think the picture of the Argonev with a huge TEC fleet looked fantastic. Hopefully it'll be a wallpaper. ^_^

Though... Why is there a change in narrator? The trailer and opening sequences had a great narrator, but this one wasn't as great. :( Regardless, this video is getting me even more excited for Diplomacy. ^_^

I don't think it was too bad. The other one was better, but hey, it could be the same guy after 25 years. It's a nice update on the lore, nothing about features, but still nice.

I like the scene where the hummie is yelling at the shrugging/disgusted vasari, who prolly just cant stand the sight of the inferiors...  and then there is this space witch, who is observing... and thinking... prolly something along the lines of... "we'll keeeeel you alllll"

 

edit: 0_o the space witch is FREAKING GLOWING... if anyone needed any more proof that the advent are evil... THERE YOU HAVE IT.

Pretty cool. I like it. But it better not get pushed back.

 

BTW, who is the voice actor for this video and the original intro video?

Usually, the Stardock "crap" is already superior quality when compare to some other company.... i have simply not the patience to wait a long time after something i like...

And if Diplomacy go out after end May, i will be away from sins ( and any game, and modding ) for some time... it mean that i will not be here for buy 10, 20 or more version of Diplomacy for the guys of our mod... for entrenchment, i have already buy it 15 times.... i think that i am not a bad customer and that i can complain a little about the delays... specialy when it is not the first time...

Don't take it wrong, Stardock is a very good company who listen to their customer... the last patch show it... but the hotfix with the missing dll and the dev.exe was promise for "tomorrow" a few days ago!!! Better not give any ETA that give one who will not be respected...

I like the still shots but seriously, are you guys that cheap to use papercut out type cartoonism with the three factions debating in the room??

I watched it and wow I like.

Yeah narator changed :( what happen tot he otehr guy? What is realy different was that the first narator was speaking in a tired voice, this one is in a hostile voice. Almost as if this narator doesn't want to hear anything about diplomacy the enemies should be wiped out.

Cold War is comming think I should write my essay to IC about SINS2 Ideas.

It really isn't a money issue at all.  Up to this point, no character in the Sins universe has been animated yet.  That is something we are saving for future releases.  We are simply trying to keep the art style consistent for now.  I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I assure you that a lot of time and care goes into our trailers.

there is a reason ironclad/stardock is doing giant space battle games and such...

cool (nerdy) people suck at drawing people, but draw awsome weapons of war... all of the stuff was preety much the same style... look how many kol battleship copies and cobalt copies there were in the scene with the starbase... its allthe same style... but drawing shippies with straight lines is much eaiser than people.

although... the vasari did look slightly more... i dont know... wierder? than the hummie... and the FREAKY GLOWING advent...

Nice vid. 1:04 mins in, could those craft in to the right of the building be the advent and TEC envoy ships? The second one looks a lot like the diplomacy symbol in the title.

Awesome. A Sins 2! btw, I love your current art style for trailers. Its unusual for a game, but looks cool. The release date was annoying, but I can live with it.

Just a quote of some information I hold.

Writing 10 pages of constructive essay to help fix problems int eh game has it's benefits. I've been aware of this for quite a few weeks now. :D But since a DEV just let the cat out fo the bag in public I guest it's okay to say this.
