What possible evidence do you have for how much work goes into these trailers? That’s not all gameplay, some of it is very much still animated. Don’t need a source when I’ve seen players do almost the same thing with captura in a bunch of Warframe contests. The vast majority of the trailer is straight captura+in game + voice over w/ maybe a tad bit of mocap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I had no idea the trailers existed so I went back and watched them all. Valkyr is the obvious favorite because she's the best frame, but it leaves you wanting way more. Like imagine if there was a full on series of this stuff. It's just a Fantasy, but seeing the frames act like ninjas with the swords and Atlas sitting on that ledge was absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to waste a ton of development time going back and making umpteen cinematic trailers. The fact they skimped on the cinematics a bit here is good as it didn't waste too much dev time. Please, just let the idea of prime trailers for past primes go away, and let us all move on... No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand a low budget trailer when a prime is unvaulted to increase sales, but apart from that, it seems like dev work so a few people who already have the product can go "oooh shiny". It does nothing to add to gameplay, and nothing to increase sales so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does nothing to add to gameplay, and nothing to increase sales so why? Because it adds lore, and DE had done several up until now and just decided to stop because....why again? Actually, thinking about it, DE still had some soul put into their game design at that point, they wanted us to enjoy the lore, and we did, but then they just stopped doing those and now we get space sitcom.

What value did the Fortuna ARG add to the game? They're ads. And as a nice bonus they can expand the game's lore. Mirage Prime's trailer hinted at the origin of the Warframes ("the vice"). In this case we got some more insight into Helminth and the Warframe creation process ("the Long Scream") as well as hints about the fall of the Orokin and Ballas' involvement ("our grand finale").

I understand what you are saying. That's why I say, if they are doing them for unvaultings I understand. An ad makes sense in that case, and the development time isn't just spent so a few people who already have it can go "woooooo!". But I don't want them to go back and start making trailers for all the primes just because. Do it for a reason. Like, at least with Hydroid they had the justification they could hawk his new deluxe skin after hyping the trailer and giving out the prime for free through Twitch.

Sure that makes sense with the cinematic trailers of the past. But this trailer is largely just in gameplay. Probably a few devs 2 to 3 weeks to do one. Keep in mind that DE is at least 500 Devs strong. So now drop in the bucket for time and resources . Also has some good marketing at the end. While bringing the players good Lore. Win Win.

ChaoticEdge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 ballas had his chance but now he is traitor now. Plus it probably going cost too much money for him narrate it all the time, better let the dude who narrate each the frame's story seriously I pay respect to him.

(XBOX)InductiveBag46 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Octavia is popular, especially around the modern Warframe player circles of god awful 'fashion' frame captura-only runs. This cool lookin trailer serves only to fool new and returning players into thinking Warframe is more than melee spam farm and standing grind.

I like how being a dehumanising monster who lied and cheated his way into creating the Sentients, and likely by extension the Tenno (since they were going to Tau, that means they were likely step 2 in the colonisation project), and then turned the Tenno into child soldiers once it was discovered they could pilot his pet infested monsters isn't enough of a moral objection already. And yes, all of this was canon and explained before the Sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0_The_F00l Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Oh there are multiple potential reasons for that , I am voting for "some dude made a captura in his freetime and it was good enough to be a prime trailer" There is also " Tencent has provided budget for marketing and additional resources " And " marketing team is under threat of getting fired and had to make something to show they are relevant". There is also the unlikely possibility that DE got their resource management on track for once and delivered on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that way they could do two frames at once, which could be cool. This would be cool. There's the whole time vs. resources thing, but I'd love to see it.

So, you have the employee lists and the P&L info and product roadmap in front of your to make these claims 'DE could just', right? Yeah, that's what I thought. Where you think DE has 'at least 500 devs' is beyond me, last I saw the whole company was it the 300's of employees. This is sort of un-informed thinking about software and development works is why so many gamers lose their minds by creating Hype that cannot live up to expectations. You like them, you want more of them, that's fine. Making outlandish claims about development resources like this is just silly and un-informed.
