Good trailer. You have put a lot of effort into FSCG.  :yes:

Actually, now with the game rules out, I've built my Terran and Vasudan decks now. I'm going to play them with my friends later on today.

meh, too bad card games are looked at as the stuff of 3rd graders around here. to be caught even with a baseball card is to be beaten up and mocked for a week.

Very good job!

In my opinion, this would be good as part of a FSO trailer too (without the card bits, obviously).

Being a total geek I can see myself playing a Freespace card game. Good trailer.

Nice...though it would have been nice to actually see the cards for a bit, not just parts from the cutscenes.

I think FS Open has better graphics than that.

c914 made the trailer purely out of the old retail cutscenes.

Part of, part of. We would of course need INGAME shots, but it might look good if we mixed it in with the cutscenes.

Maybe. In game shots for cutscenes are really poor quality from my experience. Still, if it could be done, it would be one awesome trailer.

I still don't think you follow. I mean we have both bits from the cutscenes and bits of in-game action.

Although we have strayed off-topic, here.  :rolleyes:

If you FRED cutscene missions well, they can potentially look better than the default cutscenes.

Argh, I better get the last of the cards grammarfixed tomorrow.

I'm kinda curious about the creation of the cards. Do you have a little modified program that can automatically create the cards such as the YGO Online Card Maker or do you have to do something else?

A trailer for a card game? Wierd. Trailer for a book. Wierd.

I would take hints from those kids card game commercials on tv.

It could do with a shot of an over-enthusiastic player slamming a card down on a desk with exaggerated hand movements, causing his opponent to fall out of his chair in shock.

Well what usually happens on the kid commercials is that they're over exciting and slap a card down. Camera zooms up to that card and shows it, then shows an animation of what that card does.

So like have someone be like "YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!IDK WHAT TO DO?!?" and slaps down a card. Camera shows a picture of the card which is something like leviathen main beam. Then the commercial would switch over to some cool ingame shot of a leviathen shooting a beam with mvp's 3.6.10. Then the other player will counter with a wing of hercs and show of wing of hercs on the commercial flying toward the leviathen from their destroyer. Then the other person uses their flak screen card and shows the fighters getting serious flak resistance which makes the success rate and lethality of the herc wing to drop.

Bla bla bla. You get what i'm talking about here. Great way to use ingame footage. You don't even need to have real people. Just flip the card onto the screen and ingame footage with a counter card and ingame footage.
