Conviction – An Anthem Trailer From Neill Blomkamp
- Thread starter SweetNicole
- Start date
If this is a trailer for an actual movie you think they wouldn't announce that?
Great trailer especially with the costumes but doesn't tell you anything about the story , is this the final movie because like the above poster said it feels like it's a trailer for a full movie or tv series
It's kind of you to clarify, because they sure as hell don't

Unless you've got some sort of source, you're simply guessing that is what they may do. Don't state guesses as facts.
Don't overthink this video. It's a whole bunch of pretty looking nothing. EA wanted that live action trailer and they got it. To experience the rest, play the game folks. We are not getting a movie lol
This is not how you build a pitch. You either make a sizzle reel (https://youtu.be/92cVd9HalHs), scene, or a short film. This is first and foremost an advertisement.

This is such a weird thing.. Is this normal in the gamingindustry? Dont recall seeing something like this before..
That trailer makes me want to see the supposed movie but it does very little to fix me to the game.
Hey if Bioware wants to toss money at Oats Studio, fine. I want more Oats Studio original shorts damnit
What's weird/frustrating about it is there's some compelling imagery in there: this girl being found wandering the wild, her living in Fort Tarsis and eventually piloting an Interceptor and encountering the Anthem, some sort of betrayal of the community by that one dude, except it's all completely vague, and we know the actual game isn't set up to have this kind of cinematic storytelling in the open world. So all this does is paint a misleading picture of the game's narrative style, and tease a story we'll never see or learn any more about?
That something longer is the game. Enjoy that 100+ hrs of play time.
I found this in the Anthem Subreddit.
Personally, this was an awesome video and I really hope they get to make it a full production.

Oh cool, I've been staying away from campaign spoilers and haven't played the demo weekends. I assumed based on the whole "Our World/Your Story" breakdown that other than voice chatter there wouldn't really be npcs or non-shooting interactions or cutscenes outside of Fort Tarsis. I'm excited to see that at least cutscenes may be in.
It's an ad for the game, you aren't supposed to be invested in ads, it just builds awareness, hype, etc
Well, much like Blomkamp did with the Halo 3 commercials then, which were supposed to be "tests" for the Halo Movie, which never came, but was spinned into District 9.
Really well made but I find it strange to advertise this as a "story set decades before the game" only for it to be a trailer for a story we will never see. Hope it's not important to the story of the game.
Or maybe it will gain enough interest to develop it into a full short.

Hopefully they are making a full short/movie, I'd like to see that.
The game itself I am lukewarm on, but this is cool.

Nice trailer, good advert for Anthem. EA must have given them a massive ton of cash to make this. If the game had Oats Studios and Neil Bloomkamp in charge of the narrative I would be sold. Buuuuuuut I'll wait on reviews for Anthem.
That was pretty underwhelming.
Conviction is generic, but what's wrong with Anthem? Probably one of the most unique game titles I've seen in a while
