The Gratuitous Space Battles 2 Teaser Trailer is HERE September 17, 2014 cliffski Check it out and let me know what you think :D
Looks quite nice. One thing, however, I find quite annoying, and that’s the check-pattern on the ships ( the one used to put custom colors on them). It just reminds me too much of a placeholder texture, and makes the whole thing look unfinished.
I’ll have to agree with this. The trailer looks awesome, but the checker pattern makes the ships look a bit ugly :-/
Nice :-) The cut away’s are a little distracting, I couldn’t say why exactly. I think it’s because I’m trying to see what’s going on in the busy scene when it breaks away to the next. That could just be me though. Overall a nice teaser, short and punchy, hope it works for you :-) Iain
The check pattern is a tribute to chris foss: http://www.chrisfossart.com/ But entirely optional. It’s only one race, and you can wipe it out entirely anyway by setting both colors the same :D
Maybe have the patterns a little less regular, leaving out some squares here and there, stripes instead of sqaures in some areas, etc? The artwork you linked seems to do that more, and it works quite nicely. Or maybe it’s because the colors of the pattern are too saturated, and stand out too much. Less of the original material is visible. But aside from that I agree with the others, the trailer looks cool
I also hate those checker patterns, dunno why, it just looks bad, out of place. Everything else is great !
It maybe just me, but the sounds seems distorted / too loud for my system, especially with the explosions.
