Valorant Official Launch Cinematic Trailer
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
The animation is nice, but it feels like I've seen this exact same characters in this exact same place with this exact same line a thousand times before.
What?
Lame?
Did you forget to put the /s after your post?
Because that was an incredible cinematic....that aesthetic is really unique for CGI, a really good balance between 2d and 3d, i could watch a full movie in that style and not keep moaning about it not having an identity.
Im not really excited for the game because it just aint my jam.
But the character design and artwork is absolutely on point.
I legit came in here just to see the cinematic and walk out.....but then your driveby post was first and I really couldnt not comment.
An Airbender and a Firebender fighting well sure weve seen that before, elementals arent particularly unique....but the characters themselves def have their own identities.....who do you mix up these two characters specifically for?
Or who are they spoofing?
P.S: Anyone been able to find out which studio/artists put this together?
I needs to find out how they made the puffs of dust.
P.P.S: Sukes art is amazing.
I want a print of the key art even if I aint gonna play the game.
Perfect example of style over substance. The dialogue and story in these service game cinematics are so rote and pedestrian they should not even bother having the characters talk, lol. Blizzard-tier Saturday morning cartoon writing.
The art-style look so sick though the plot is quite lame,lol.
Come on. At least Overwatch character cinematic plots and storytelling are pretty good.
I didn't enjoy it that much please dont be mad it's just a video of a video game :)
Blizzard isn't a great example because the "story" in Overwatch is a mess quite honestly. Totally disjointed.
Yeah Riot's really mastered their own artstyle and it's amazing to see how versatile they are in creating these shorts for all of their IP
I think it's the work of this studio:
They have nailed a very specific artstyle that elegantly blends 2D and 3D. They seem pretty close to Riot nowadays but I don't think they are part of Riot.
The story is a bit of a mess, sure (it was never the focus of Overwatch until the fanbase started asking for more). That doesn't mean the individual cinematics/comics/novels aren't great at storytelling. Stuff like The Last Bastion, Honor and Glory, Dragons etc. are fantastic.
Wow yeah holy shit I thought that Riot had hit that this entire time but damn these guys tricked me lol
Very neat, love the artstyle, reminded me of Into the Spiderverse.
As for the game itself, meh... But I know it's gonna be a huge it.

I really like the art direction and the character designs
Plus a black dude with elemental powers that aren't electric? Fuck yeah

Nothing outstanding, but the style is dope. They have a potentially very interesting game in their hands, one that is mighty fun for now but that doesn't yet have too much depth or variety. Let's see how they build upon it.

Cs 1.6 with abilities. This is a cinematic trailer; they have a separate gameplay trailer on their youtube
Huh, so this is what it looks like when someone tries to copy Blizzard and fails. Great animation and style, TERRIBLE storytelling. I remember Overwatch's The Last Bastion short, which actually made me tear up. This made me feel nothing.
...It's a launch cinematic. I can't even imagine what you were expecting.
Love the art style. I'm fine with something that's just trying to be cool.
Overwatch's shorts are... I dunno. Blizzard's writing has never been for me, and the OW shorts (at least the first couple years of them) just didn't do anything for me, neither in the coolness department nor the narrative one.
TF2's Expiration Date is still the benchmark for this kind of thing.

Something that would make we want to play the game? Is that too much to ask?

why would someone watch a cinematic over a gameplay trailer to know whether or not they'll like the game?
Why would a company use a cinematic over a gameplay trailer to launch their game?

Because there is a gameplay launch trailer? This thread was dedicated.. to you know.. the cinematic trailer?
It's the specifically labelled cinematic trailer, there will be gameplay ones too no doubt.
EDIT: there you go! ^
There's something interesting about these cinematic trailers for hero MP games. The art style and the action is really cool and fun to watch, but the gameplay will never, ever look or feel like that in real time for the actual game. They always leave me wanting the actual game to feel like that instead. Oh, well. Cool sequence though.
So damn good, can't wait to see what comes next.
Also shout out to the key art, they came out with a banger
