City of Heroes - Mirror, Mirror (Issue 17 Trailer)

[EclipseKing82]

this game is still so boss.

[MaxSteiner120]

I' ts Cool, Samuraiko. B)

[MindstormXL]

Dark Mirror, and so began the age of Doppelgangers, seriously Ive been in quite few situation after I17 got released where I fought my own character or even the entire TASK FORCE! *cough*posi part 1*cough*

[Malleryfrost]

just a quick question.. how do you turn the camera around so that you can look at te front of your character?

[samuraiko]

@Malleryfrost Hold down the Page Down key and move the mouse to swing the camera around.

[selftrainedjedi]

cool vid! I so wanna go back to CoH I love that game. Nobody on anymore it seems . If thats not true I played on infinity. Anyone still playing or is it a ghost town ? I am acually seeking a group to play with, then i would go back. Anyone out there? let me know. Coh was the greatest game ever.

[samuraiko]

@selftrainedjedi A lot depends on the server you are/were on. I know on Justice, I never have a problem fielding a team if I need one. Freedom and Virtue are also still quite populated. :)

[JTTroll]

@samuraiko I never want for teams, I play on Virtue, and am constantly busy, either teaming, TF's, crafting, RP, you name it.

[aliG2500]

@selftrainedjedi i play on infinity too! my main CoH character is "Bionic Vigilance" so add me!

[EssenceGaming]

@selftrainedjedi Lol, that was my main server, thats how i felt when i was on that server, much like a ghost town.

[GordonFreeman70]

Aww..CoH and WoW veteran for nearly 6 years, I think im gonna choose CoH.

[pokemonmaster6777]

were's the contact for the mission? for issue 17?

[samuraiko]

@pokemonmaster6777 1st and 2nd Hero contacts are in Talos - one north of the Hospital, the other near the Argo Highway where the BP masks appear at night. 1st and 2nd villain contacts are in Sharkhead - one near the Vault Reserve, the other on the catwalks above the Black Market.

[mdude134]

where can i get this tune from?

[samuraiko]

@mdude134 The artist's sites are listed in the video description (his MySpace and AudioJungle sites). You should be able to purchase the track at one of the two websites.

[docfyre]

Love your work samuraiko, a great video as usual.

[moembn]

I'm more and more impressed with the quality of your work with every video you release. Keep up the great work. If you are ever on Infinity, look me up @Sir Giles.

[Blackdragon1686]

Amazing work as always... your vids are the best part of new issues half the time! Nice music choice on this one especially.

[CrackHamsters]

gah its the 24th when does this come out? and what about demon summoning?

[samuraiko]

@CrackHamsters Issue 17 goes live on the 6th anniversary of the game, April 28th. I *think* Demon Summoning is available on the same day, IF you prepurchased GOING ROGUE.

[Pr0d1gyHunt3r]

@CrackHamsters its supposed to come out right now, but the servers have been down longer than usual

[CrackHamsters]

looks like there is an outline around your guy is it true?

[samuraiko]

@CrackHamsters Yep, Shuten Doji (my character at the beginning) has a very faint aura.

[Thraxx224]

Do you know what day Issue 17 will be released?

[samuraiko]

@Thraxx224 Yep - they are releasing the Issue on April 28th, to time it with the sixth anniversary of the game. :D

[jasasdas1]

thnx 4 this video, once again u have proped urself superior 2 ncsoft on the video creation front, Bravo!

(and i know i sound like an adoring fan, cos i am)

[CoHChika]

As usual, the best giving us a great vid! loved what you did for issue 17 intro! do it again!!!

[dojihajime]

You remain the Undisputed Champion of City of Heroes/Villians Video and perhaps of gaming videos every where!!!!

[jgriff12345]

love ur vids!

[gregoryvn3]

Another beautiful video! Looks delicious and full of goodies, too! Yaaaay!

[dustravenvideo]

I'm looking forward to UM. In the beta at least I know I can utilize most of the UM features without a significant reduction in overall performance. At least when playing solo. Shame you didn't show off some of the Ultra Moded costume pieces though. Enforcer particularly looks wicked.

[Sponge3737]

You didn't show what the moving tails looked like =\

[samuraiko]

@Sponge3737 Yes I did... 2:18, go back and watch it again. This will be on the exam.

[Vixxin]

HOLY, I freeking love your stuff, thanks for makeing this for us

[samuraiko]

@Vixxin Thanks very much!

[NalusVee]

It's an awesome video, and really superior to anything that Paragon Studios puts out.

And.. 200K! Yes! Yes!

Only naggle.. Ultra Mode! While very cool, for a lot of us it will be.. Holy Loss of Framerates, Batman!

[samuraiko]

@NalusVee I can tell you that a useful compromise on UM is what's called "Ultra" settings, while still keeping UM disabled. It allows better graphics while still giving superior performance. And me on an 8800 GTS 512, I get at least 30fps outdoors while on Ultra settings. And thanks for the compliment! :D

[tzmakis]

EPIC !!!

[samuraiko]

@tzmakis Thank you!

[SugarCrazeify]

This is one sick video! Kudos on the mad multimedia skills! It's great to have such an awesome CoX player making videos like these!

[samuraiko]

@SugarCrazeify Thanks! :D

[2short2care]

Another awesome video samuraiko. :) Hey Paragon Studieos listen up, Hire this talented woman already will ya!

[samuraiko]

@2short2care Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

[6661313]

you have done it again! :D

...now i just still need a comp good enough to run it

[samuraiko]

@6661313 If you can swing the video card upgrade, do - it looks gorgeous.

[6661313]

@samuraiko lol ya but need a new motherbord to get a graphic card good enough

[DPHGoldStanderd]

wots the song called?

[samuraiko]

@DPHGoldStanderd The track is called "Drifter" by BADADAM. Links to his MySpace page and AudioJungle portfolio can be found in the video's expanded description.

[TalynDerre]

Samuraiko, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you do a better job of hyping CoH than Paragon Studies itself does. This was freaking awesome, and it made me ever more excited for I17 than I already was.

Can't wait to see you in the world!

[samuraiko]

@TalynDerre :) Thanks, Talyn.

[RenpikaRozen]

EPIC. I cant wait to try out Ultra Mode and the new powersets!!!

Thank you so much for uploading

[samuraiko]

@RenpikaRozen You're welcome. :)

[Quelkaima]

I've always found your videos more informative than the official NC Soft ones, if for no other reason than you show things that the devs have a tendency to gloss over.

Prime example: intelligent zooming in the costume editor. Between that and the streamlined marketplace interface, you blew my mind. Now I just need to be able to find the time to head into open beta!

[samuraiko]

@Quelkaima In their defense, the guys who make the vids have to make what Marketing tells them to. I try and get in everything that I think the players will find useful or enjoy or just coz it looks damn cool. :D And do head into beta - make sure especially to test UM, and share your computer specs with the devs so they can datamine.

[iceofwolf]

Great video and build up using the music.

[samuraiko]

@iceofwolf Thanks very much!

[zach22616]

holy shit @ ultra mode

[samuraiko]

@zach22616 UM is seriously cool. The game takes on a whole new look.

[catwhoorg]

*hits like button*

Would hit again if it let me.

[samuraiko]

@catwhoorg Thanks! :D

[CrackHamsters]

xtreme

[samuraiko]

@CrackHamsters I hope that's a good thing...

[glasswalkerny]

amazing as always!

[samuraiko]

@glasswalkerny Am I really always good? I'd have thought by now I'd have a few that were meh, but who am I to complain?

[Xacktar]

Thumbs up, as always.

[samuraiko]

@Xacktar How many? :D

[CrusaderKal]

Awsome as allways !!!!

[samuraiko]

@CrusaderKal Thanks, as always! :D

[aceofallan]

Awesome as always!

[samuraiko]

@aceofallan Thank you as always!

[RavenMarx]

Amazing job! Loved the music!

[samuraiko]

@RavenMarx Thanks! And unless I change my mind, BADADAM may be doing the music for my next CoH video, so stay tuned!

[umpityump]

Damn, your Video's just get better and better!

[samuraiko]

@umpityump That's good to know, I'd hate to think I was getting worse! :D

[TalesofGirl4ever]

This is going to be so cool when it comes out.

[samuraiko]

@TalesofGirl4ever Yes it is...

[AlishaShatogi]

When I heard OB went live I immediately came and checked for this very vid. And then fired up my test client.

Excellent as usual!

[samuraiko]

@AlishaShatogi Yet another person who believes that it's not an issue without me releasing a video. And thank you. :)

[Ripster40]

Man you make the best CoH videos I've ever seen.

Are you still rocking it on the Virtue server?

[hockey21man]

Great job! See you in Going Rouge!

[samuraiko]

@hockey21man You'll be in Going Rouge. I'll be in Going Rogue. :)

[hockey21man]

@samuraiko Crap I always do that!  Ugh, well see you in i17 AND Going Rogue!

[fdythunre]

Awesome! Cant wait for ultra mode!

[samuraiko]

@fdythunre Can't wait for my new video card! :D And thanks!

[chaetophile]

Okay, timing the wingbeats to the soundtrack...you are a naughty girl. Naughty.

[samuraiko]

@chaetophile It's all in the details. :)

[kevinearllynch]

Nicely done! Made me wish the video was twice as long or longer. You're such a tease =))

[samuraiko]

@kevinearllynch One day I will do a feature-length CoH Machinima and hopefully that will satisfy those folks who want longer videos from me. :)

[jergsden]

Mod 8 jackhammering. Nice.

[samuraiko]

@jergsden Niviene and Avatea are also in the shot. But Ocho got a kick out of it when he saw himself in the vid.

[jergsden]

@samuraiko I wonder if the Praetorian Mod 8 is Mod Hate? ;)

[jgriff12345]

sweet vid! i wish they would make to where u can customize the tails cuz i dont like the tiny little devil tail :/ lol but sweet vid

[samuraiko]

@jgriff12345 Well there are about a half dozen animated tails now, I think. Only "Bunny" is not animated, if memory serves.

[jgriff12345]

@samuraiko thats awesome! cant wait for going rogue. when it comes im gonna get back into CoX :)

[callac]

Really miss the game.

[samuraiko]

@callac So come back, silly!

[darkether]

Amazing! Just like all your stuff.

One of these days I'm gonna be on a team with you when you do one of these!! :)

[samuraiko]

@darkether I'm hard to miss when filming - I'm either yelling on broadcast that I need a film crew, or yelling on broadcast to stop speed boosting me when I'm trying to do a tracking shot. :D And thanks!

[dusty668]

That was AWESOMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!

[samuraiko]

@dusty668 Thank YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
