City of Heroes - Lilium [Rough Draft]

Fox Masters, Lv. 38 Dual Pistols/Energy Manipulation Blaster.

Test video done to try and re-familiarize myself with the workings of City of Heroes' demo system.

Originally planned out as a way of showing off the Dual Pistols animations with WHOA LOTS OF SLOW MOTION, this ended up just being a quick afternoon job to see how well the Demo system functions now.

The result? Not great. :/ There are a lot of tracking and timing issues and even though the ragdoll system now works, the enemies "twitch" out of place momentarily when they die, making smooth action sequences, shot reactions, etc. pretty much impossible.

The timing bugs are especially irritating; you'll notice them in the scenes where Fox is walking, where the video seems to skip for a moment or two.

So, it's safe to say I will probably not be making a new City of Heroes machinima video anytime in the near future, unless Issue 17 and/or Going Rogue provide substantial upgrades to the Demo system

Ah well. Extraneous sounds were added for extra effect, taken from City of Heroes/City of Villains, Half-Life 2, Fallout 3, Dawn of War, Counter-Strike: Source, Soldat, and a few other places.

It's been a long time since I tried CoH (..trial, actually) and I understand that dual pistols is new, but what about animated cloth and ragdoll deaths? Those are the two things I think every MMO should have ^^ makes it more fun..

Bugs or not, that was a sweet vid! Good work!

Must have been greys used for filming cause dual pistols couldn't shoot its way out of a wet paper bag.

Like the vid though. Nice work

The Elfen Lied them was a good choice for the vid. Thanks for posting!
