Please make new trailers\movies\demos

Muskeljens

Would it be possible to make some movies\demos\trailers we can feast on? Not much just a player shooting at something or just about anything in game.

I would vastly prefer to just have the game released as soon as possible.

Can the pt's make a quick like demo of a game, when theres action then post it on site so we can download and play... dont edit it or anythink we just wanna see it.

A demo is just like the script to a play, you still need the stage and actors (NS itself) to watch. This means we would have to convert the demo to an AVI, which just isn't worth the trouble when we are so close to release. If any offiial work is being done in the form of a preview, I do not know.

They are all very busy right now and its not long to wait now, just let it be a surprise

No, Necro, you don't understand.

You can't play the demo unless you have the build, as the demo calls on the games entities and just sort of replays what happened in the game, inch for inch.  You can't watch a playtest demo without the playtest.  Just hang in there, NS is very close.

I think he might have meant that a PT can record the AVI.  Even then, it's not that simple... anything released with the NS Stamp Of Approval ™ has got to be *good*.  Any demo that gets released - especially of full gameplay - is going to probably be a composite of *many* demos, clipped and edited down to the absolute best parts.  Combine that with pacing the video as a whole, deciding which parts to place where... *viewing* the probably 10+ demos (sometimes games can be over an hour long!) for good bits, *finding* the good bits...

It's a lot of work!  Work better spent, at this point, on rounding up bugs and making sure NS gets the fanfare it deserves on release.
