Ns Version Of Red Vs Blue

aonomus · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">This is the deciding thread</div> Ok, after seeing comments such as 'omg that would roxor' in IRC, forums, and in game, I'm gonna have this lil' thing here, I can't start a poll, so just say 'Yes' or 'No' and a short reason WHY, not some funny stuff FOR the show. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Just make sure it's original, and not just some cheap rip-off. Are aliens gonna speak?

Cj_the_Dj · March 2004

gee, lemme think. YES?

cuz it'll be funny as hell! in the normal red vs blue, you can onli have interaction between humans. now it's humans and aliens! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> it would be so much cooler

aonomus · March 2004

Yes, most definitely, my only concern is why to do such a project, not any technical ones.

ThE_HeRo · March 2004

It'd be great as long as its original. I'll volunteer to voice-act/act if you guys want, unless its all taken. I'd be alot of fun.

EvenFlow · March 2004

Enlighten me plz, red vs. blue ?

Good luck to you. Hope it'll actually be funny, which RvB wasn't.

Afr · March 2004

Use the replacement model for the players so that the mouth moves when they speak ingame

Isn't it, like, illegal to say RvB isn't funny, or something? Like a 'net crime?

I'm sure it is, you know. It's a crime against common sense. RvB = 0wn... I even got not-gamers to laugh watching it, so HAH.

PseudoKnight · March 2004

I've actually thought quite a bit about something like this. It could be done right, but it would take quite a bit of work and coordination to maintain a good level of quality production. I'm currently working on two video projects right now. I would be willing to discuss background and help make a pilot in most any area of the production process. The one concern I have is that people won't finish what they started. (including myself) It would be nice if it was designed in a fashion that each episode wouldn't need a follow-up. So no long on-going plots, (a few two/three parters) but still have the same characters. For example: The Simpsons. This would allow people to bow out without leaving fans hanging.

Anyway, I have some rough character, scene, and plot concepts if this goes any further than this thread.

Caboose · March 2004

Hey aonmus, what were we going to call it?

"Squad 5" and "This is My Hive" are two suggestions That I got in IRC the other day.

Bah.... you got no sense for real art dude!

I say bring it on!

coil · March 2004

Two things to keep in mind, fairly unrelated:

1) The scope of RvB as a project is enormous. A recent news post said they spend 40-50 hours weekly on RvB. Either plan in advance how long you'll be doing this, or get ready for the Long Haul.

2) Note that RvB starts with a simple premise and builds from there: a civil war between Red and Blue, and a tiny facet of that war (Blood Gulch) basically forgotten by and disconnected from the rest of the conflict. If you're not going to have aliens speak (I suggest you don't make them speak), consider two marine squads to play off each other; perhaps use some reskins from the custom forum to differentiate. But most importantly, have a simple premise on which you can build a "story."

Cj_the_Dj · March 2004

i got an idea. make the aliens grunt squeak (for skulk) and roar (for onos n' stuff) and make subtitles on the bottom.

so it'll be like

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' /> ____________________ <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' />

(subtitles here, example of what they might say below)
up urs! ____________________ you suck!

or something similar to this, tho my example is a little silly...

Legat · March 2004

I would strongly suggest not to copy the civil war concept of red vs blue, because that would really be an ripoff.
If you really plan on creating something nearly as large as RvB, you will want to be original, otherwhise your hard work won't be appreciated.

RvB didn't invent the idea of civil war, so i think anything goes. The only thing which this would have with RvB, is they are both a series (not an action flick) created with ingame fotage.

aonomus · March 2004

Yea, it looks like that it would be a good idea, I just need to get the right direction, and some good people to work on it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Actually, I was discussing this elsewhere... my idea was mostly to focus on the aliens though

Skulk - Stan: The mindless idiot. Has absolutely no self-preservation, and collects TSA stuff... like mines, and IPs.

Gorge - George: Motherly type alien figure. Nuff said.

Lerk - Larry: The only alien with a head on his shoulders, so to speak. Basically he gets frustrated with the incompetance of his fellow aliens.

Fade - Frank: Death. Destruction. Must kill everything that moves. The mentally unstable nut of the group that wants to do nothing more except bring pain and misfortune, either to marines, or when hes bored, fellow aliens.

Onos - Milton: Hmm, names that start with O... Oliver? Heh, I dont like it. Anyway, my idea was to make the Onos actually a peace loving buffoon. A gentle giant, if you will. Would completely contrast his character. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> So I thought of the most non-threatening name possible: Milton. No offense to anyone out there named Milton. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

........ I guess we can spare us some time on discussing whether RvB did come up with the original concept of civil war or not..........

My intention was to point out that it would be VERY obvious and kind of boring to copy the red versus blue concept.
It will just look like a ripoff if you make two squads fighting each other.
Besided, the different teams are the main aspect that distinguishes NS from other multiplayer games (besides AvP....I know...yes...).
These races make NS individual, and this individuality should be transported IMHO.

Personally, I very much like the subtitle idea I saw a few posts before, although this might get boring soon, if you plan on giving the aliens some bigger plot.

I kinda like this one by the way......

aonomus · March 2004

I was thinking documenting some of the comedy in NS but also having a deeper plot leading to an eventuality of a 'season' set on a single map.

Scorpion571 · March 2004

Could be interesting, though I'd like to see it focused on the marines side of things instead of the aliens.

edit: Took out all the ideas because I realize this isn't the place for them. Suffice to say, I think this could be a great project if the right approach is taken and I have many ideas that I would like to contribute.

PseudoKnight · March 2004

This isn't an idea thread, as you'll see if you read the first post. There's good reason for that. There would be a need for private forums for this.

red vs blue spinoff sounds good as long as you make it better than the original, oh yeah dont forget to talk to thier legal department as long as your jackin ideas but hey it sounds like the ball is rolling and i for one love to see anything ns related <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

R_A_C · March 2004

This could be great as long as the people are truely dedicated to finish whatever they start. I think the idea of short, 3-4 episode series is great. Then actors would only have to commit for one series and veiwers wouldn't need every previous episode in order to understand the current one.
