Onwards! #48 is the second of five planned teaser trailers for the upcoming CITY OF HEROES expansion, FREEDOM, and its inaugural issue, #21: Convergence. (Yep, five, PLUS a trailer later on down the road. Why me?)
AND AGAIN, BEFORE EVERYONE GETS IN MY FACE OVER THIS: Let me reassure you, this video does NOT break any kind of NDA whatsoever. It was shot ENTIRELY on the LIVE servers (thank you, Justice). All of the maps, all of the models, all of the effects, they are all available in the CURRENT version of COH. This is STRICTLY my take on what things MIGHT be like, based on information that has already been PUBLICLY RELEASED by the official Paragon Studios team.
Whew. Now that THAT'S out of the way...
Information on COH:F continues to come our way at a deliciously tantalizing rate: thanks to the U-streams, and especially the information that came our way from San Diego Comic-Con, COH:F Issue 21 looks like it's going to be nothing short of spectacular. And now they've begun a new ad campaign, which inspired THIS teaser!
The focus on this teaser stems from the artwork from the ad campaign (done by the brilliant David Nakayama) in which it's implied that one of the Freedom Phalanx is not long for this world. (Take your bets on who it is - I have my own theories but nothing I can prove.) For this, SmartSound's "Epic Metal Trailer Music 16" was everything I needed - a slow, dramatic open to non-stop action, and then a heartbreaking ending. (Check out SmartSound's AudioJungle profile at audiojungle.net/user/SmartSound - the epic metal trailer music set ALONE is worth the trip!)
Like my other videos, this one is tagged as Samuraiko Productions, for those who follow my work. Enjoy!
