City of Heroes - Allegiances (Issue 18/GOING ROGUE Trailer)

[zeiss33]

I've always found that Freedom Corp "Might For Right" poster a bit sinister, given that if you do Indigo and Crimson's missions you learn that Might for Right was the name of a shady government project to control heroes.

Great vid as always. I've never seen the Arachnos posters and I've been all over the Isles. Where are they?

[samuraiko]

@zeiss33 Thanks! Actually the Arachnos posters ARE all over the Isles, but tend to be kinda grimy and hidden. The ones in the vid are in Recluse's Victory when Arachnos has successfully taken control of Atlas Park (and in the Arachnos base itself regardless of who controls the zone).

[TwistedBack66]

3:20 : I want this emote sooooo much...

[cromwellaproval1]

All Hail Our Emperor Cole

[SkarmoryThePG]

Yup. Still love it.

[fdythunre]

Anyone know why praetoria in the CoH comics is so different from praetoria in game? Or when I19 comes out?

[samuraiko]

@fdythunre In the comics, it was originally the 'goatee' version of Primal Earth. But starting with GOING ROGUE, it was retconned to give it greater depth and character, leading to a much more developed place than originally presented. I personally like the idea that the comics show OUR (Primal Earth's) initial perception of Praetoria, but the gameplay shows the reality.

[samuraiko]

@CriminalIntent89 I'd point out the other features of this expansion, and everything else it makes available in the upcoming issues, but I doubt you'd listen. If you have further complaints about the game, please direct them using the official COH contact page.

[ClarkSavageJr]

Up to your usual stellar standards, Sam! The CoX community loves ya, hon!!

[DoctorWarlocke]

Very nicely done!

[JakePelka]

All Hail Emperor Cole!!!

[CassandraTroy]

This makes Going Rogue look so interesting that I might finally spend some time working on my Praetorian toons. For some reason I haven't be able to work up any enthusiasm up for them but now I'm totally psyched at the idea! Thanks so much for the wonderful video.

[samuraiko]

@CassandraTroy You're welcome. And GR is amazing... some of the best storylines you'll find in the game.

[2short2care]

Another well done video Samuraiko.  :)

[dusty668]

That is a fine looking Bot herder you got at 1:15! Yowza!

[toadshaw91]

Amazing. As usual :D

[reldridge9235]

Lighten up your gamma when making these great videos, it will show case so much more than the omg it is so dark I can't even see the character part.

[5tailrace]

Found my own hero 'Thyristor' at 0:44 :) She's the blonde in the skin tight blue and white suit. Nice stance too, hero pose 2 perhaps?

Excellent job!

[samuraiko]

@5tailrace Yep, you're in Hero2. Kinda like, 'yeah, that's my storm, so back off or I'll deck you with a lightning bolt.' :)

[saveus2132]

you ever thought about doing movie trailers?

[samuraiko]

@saveus2132 Yes, I have - if there are local/independent moviemakers out there who want previews done, I'm happy to discuss it.

[Xacktar]

Awesome as always. Loved the hospital transition and the scene choice for vigilante.

[Denathil]

2:47 holy shit is that Bobcat?

[samuraiko]

@Denathil Yes, it is. Makes Mynx look kinda tame by comparison, huh?

[Denathil]

@samuraiko Meh more like un-revamped

[RichtheEvil]

Makes me want to stop browsing the web and play the game. Great stuff. Gotta go now, Praetoria awaits.

[angryellow313]

Amazing job Michelle, as always.

[caradoc01]

I like this video for so many different reason. My favorite part is the amish guy do the manical laugh at 1:11 with the rain of fire coming down.

[samuraiko]

@caradoc01 Was that villainous enough for you? :)

[caradoc01]

@samuraiko oh quite villainous indeed, it even caught Jeremy's eye...he was telling me that he watched it and saw it and had to rewind and said "hey thats Brother Lazarus"

[jergsden]

What, no Gravity Control? ;)

[umpityump]

As ever your vids always please, this has gotta be one of your best!

[aemmel1970]

Of course, it's better. The official trailer is made by corp wage-slaves. Samuraiko is an artist doing this from the heart.

[kevinearllynch]

Thanks Mich. Your work is always great. And it's an honor to have the poster boy for Vigilantes in my toon stable! LOL

[djsteeler69]

Brilliant, yet another for my phone. :-)

[samuraiko]

@djsteeler69 You still have storage space left on that thing?!

[djsteeler69]

@samuraiko 4GB micro sd card and they are cheap enough should I need any more space. :)

[zeroprojectgr]

Great video! Thank you :)

[AlishaShatogi]

SQUEE.

...squee.

Another amazing job. Waaay better than the official trailer. >.>

[samuraiko]

@AlishaShatogi I don't know about that - I actually thought the official trailer for GR was pretty damn impressive. (To the point where I almost didn't make one for GR because of it!)

[AlishaShatogi]

@samuraiko Okay maybe not way better, but Zero's music makes it and the timing with the cuts and the music is imo better than the official trailer... also, the official trailer lacks the propaganda that you made a point of - Loyalist-Arachnos-Resistance-L­ongbow, showing just how unsavory each side's extremists are.

Paragon/NC's shows off new shinies better, yours shows off new story better.

Accept my praise dangit! :P

...it's 1am, I am allowed to ramble.

[TheIncarnadine042]

Great video that really shows off what Going Rogue can do! You continue to impress :D

[MajikMan1977]

Another cool video and damm that last character! We'll never hear the end of his boasts about how he's in the video! :-p

[JimmytheX]

@MajikMan1977 Posing on a box, a wooden box.

[Wolfsbane909]

Viva le Resistance! Liberate the enslaved Seers!

[samuraiko]

@Wolfsbane909 Yep, I liberated the Seers on my Resistance Warden character. Vive la Resistance!

[OminousVoice]

Truly stunning. Your work never ceases to astound.

[samuraiko]

@OminousVoice High praise from someone whose music is absolutely awesome. :D

[Sturmjaeger]

Another excellent piece of work, Sam. Don't sweat the lateness. After all, you don't HAVE to make these at all. :)

[samuraiko]

@Sturmjaeger Well, this one I HAD to. I promised the playerbase way back when after it was first announced. And then when people donated to help me out, I REALLY had to make it. But I wanted to do it RIGHT.

[LordRavenwolf]

Well Done!

[philmatthewsnm]

Awesome as always. Especially the music. My character, Dedlok is at 1:02 (Vigilante).

[TymersRealm]

Nicely done Michelle. Nicely done...

If anything, my only complaint (if that) is the Hero/Vigilante/Villain/Rogue order. I would of swapped the Villain/Rogue. I can understand why you did it that way though. Otherwise your vid covers I18/GR perfectly.

5/5

[BEARHUG08]

Awesome Awesome as always !! Been waiting for this one ,GREAT JOB!

[Rockhard1492]

Hehe, I couldn't help but get giddy when I saw my character appear. =D

Awesome video, as always.

[callac]

They should make a free-pack to translate this mishs for others countries.

Portuguese first!!! =)

[RealArcalian]

Welcome back! Haven't bought this yet for reasons not too disimilar from the ones that made you take this long to do the video. But looking forward to it!

[samuraiko]

@RealArcalian When you can swing it, do get it. I absolutely adore Praetoria, the new morality system rocks, and Kinetics Melee just kicks a**. :)

[RealArcalian]

@samuraiko Oh I shall. Mid-October is the plan.

[SkarmoryThePG]

Love the music and the scene with the protesters, hate the story spoiler. Bad 'ko!

[samuraiko]

@SkarmoryThePG It's been a MONTH, man, I think spoilers are allowed at this point. And how was I supposed to know that people actually pay attention to my vids? :D

[SkarmoryThePG]

@samuraiko It's still a trailer *scold scold praise scold praise praise*

[JeremiahYDKJ]

@samuraiko I'm with Skarmory on the spoiler, but Samual Tow already spoiled that one for me, so... oh well.

Aside from that, I love the trailer. Sharing it now on my Facebook.

[JimmytheX]

Fantastic work, and holy crap I'm at the end!

[swardinc]

awesome job! Samuraiko really like how the music fits with the video

[RialVestro]

Hey look, this video is the meaning of life :)

[DrOverdose]

Awesome job! as always another instant classic ;-)
