Conviction – An Anthem Trailer From Neill Blomkamp

[doctorace]

Neil “what’s the story of the game?”
BioWare “No”
Neil “fine, I’ll do it myself”

[sarcasm-]

Coming back to this, I feel like it's criminal that all they shot was reduced to under 4 minutes and even more criminal that the dev/publisher didn't have anywhere near the amount of passion as the crew did that put this all together.

So annoying that they just abandoned the game after promising to polish and re-work it to a more satisfying state, as this all had tons of potential..

Trailer 10/10
Actual game: 1/10

Conclusion: Give Neil the whole game budget instead. Let him make the Anthem movie.

I would watch a movie or TV series of this. Really a shame the game didn't get a chance to succeed. The flying and environment is so good.

[garymcwhorter]

Badass! I watched this entire trailer without losing connection to the server.

"You backstabbing rat, I never should have trusted you"-Everyone after Anthem came out

[thingy]

Came for a short story.
Had a really cool trailer.
Now waiting for the movie.

[mikeyseo]

wow.... its 2 years later and this is still the BEST trailer ive ever seen....

[ryanspengler]

Give Blomkamp his goddamn Halo budget back and get the hell out of his way already...

[Preda.Y]

The stage direction for this must've been hilarious.

Actress: "So why am I screaming at the camera with my face half-painted in blue?"
Blomkamp: "I don't fucking know, Susan! This is a 3 minute long commercial for a game, we're not going for narrative consistency here!"

[overland]

I wonder how it feels to create a universe with so much potential, then to leave it to die on its own.

[Shinji]

Give Neill the damn License for a Full Feature Movie.

Designer: Anything specific you want in your suit?
Customer: Just make my butt look good
Designer: How's this? 0:07

[MSaleh-vyrr]

Niel Blomkamp, you done it again...
Still waiting for the District 9 sequel

[cyberpokey]

I'll never understand how this never became a full length feature. It's stunning and absolutely riveting!

[ZXM]

I am not interested in playing the game, but I would totally watch this as a movie.

[SajuukCor]

I'm going to need at least three seasons each comprising of twelve episodes each STAT.

[TheEedjit]

So we made our walls high
And our convictions strong!
And our game

[zabloot]

I come back here every year to watch this trailer again ... wishing I'll watch the whole movie one day

[jasonv]

uhh...Id go to theatre and pay money to see a full movie in a heart beat. That looked badass.
