With RA3 being released in the end of the year and Tiberium a bit earlier, don't be surprised if you start hearing about RA3 or Tiberium Community Summits in the next weeks. And, of course, they always manage to invite someone from Revora. In the C&C3 one, I could meet Hostile there. Anyway, for the upcoming community summits, we'd like to present trailers from some C&C mods and I'm wondering if any of you has anything interesting to show.


Remember that, with your mod trailer being displayed on EALA's theater, you don't simply call EALA's attention and improved support on future Battlecast Primetime episodes for your mod, you also call the community's attention and increase your mod's ranks and reputation.

This is a one time opportunity in a year and I repeat: you only have few weeks to provide us your trailer.

Sounds nice for the bigger mod teams. I can bet you all €100,- that Midle east crisis would provide an trailer. Because that mod deserves a spot !
Goodluck to all of you !

Hey guys, I just wanna point out that we don't have much time left to do these trailers. I'm aware of one summit that should happen in less than 2 weeks and I know someone from this highly ranked in this network who will probably be there. If there are any mod groups interested on providing us trailers to show on EA Theater, please, PM me as soon as possible.

The EA Community Manager needs to be warned in the week before the trip happens, so he can organize time for the invited person who represents this network to show the whole stuff in the last day of the summit.


Note that EA has politics that prevents invited people from revealing that they were invited to these events, as well as providing its date earlier, which may cause them to be booted from the event. This is why I'm being as much generic as I can.

Is this exclusive to RA3/CNC3 projects?

If not, I intend to try and make a trailer for Robot Storm if possible.

Regardless, I will be making said trailer, however I have a friendlier deadline if it doesn't have to be for this summit.

[Elerium]

Yeah, we'd like to submit a Robot Storm trailer, also Judeau and I also want to submit a Tiberium Sun Dusk trailer too

hey banshmeister
if you are invited and you can present stuff, you could mention the ra3voxel comp

C&C mods = TD, RA1, TS, RA2, Renegade, Generals, C&C3 and all expansions.

Tiberian Sun Dusk is hosted on PPM. I'd need to convince the invited person to present it there. But I'd be happy to see it on EA screens.

I wish they could see everything that happens with the oldschool modding community, but the main objective of this presentation is to get the people there more familiar with Revora hosted mods.

In the second one, nobody from Revora has showed up. At Kane's Wrath Community Summit, nobody from Revora was invited as well. Anyway, for the upcoming community summits, we'd like to present trailers from some C&C mods hosted in the network and we are looking for anything interesting to show.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any detail about the event, neither who is going to represent Revora there (or who will be 'recruited' to represent Revora there, although one person will certainly be able to visit the community people in the hotel, which is enough to recruit people to join the cause, isn't it?)


Note: By C&C mods we mean: TD, RA2, TS, RA2, Renegade, Generals and C&C3 mods, as well as any expansion, ETS, RP and NPatch is valid.

The trailer must fit in a typical 2+gb pen drive, it may have any screen resolution and shouldn't be longer than 1 minute. EA provides only 5 minutes to each person who is doing a presentation there and we want to show trailers from more than one mod.



Kind regards,

The Revora Team

[Boomerang Python]

Got it, and Only War 2 will definately have a trailer ready in time... however the pm doesnt say who is to be contacted about info on like where to chuck the finished trailer or if it needs to be in a specific file format?

[Banshee]

Sorry, I am the one who has to be contacted.

[Boomerang Python]

Alright good to know

[Soul]

I don't think I could go to one of those summits, I'd be to excited from all the cool stuff and my social skills aren't that good either.

So do you know who's going?

[Boomerang Python]

It's secret, they can't reveal it because if they do they might be banned from the event by EA

[Duke]

Pretty much

Hey guys, this is a quick and important update. While we techically have 5 minutes to show up something, my memories from the last summit reminds me that everyone there bypassed their time... taking up to 20 minutes in few ocasions. So, if it takes like 10 or 15 minutes, it won't be a problem.

This means that we are accepting up to 4 minutes trailers, since we won't spend much time talking about Revora itself.

Here's a sample of a trailer that would be very well received there:

(And this was exactly what was going to be shown on december 2006's summit, except that the movie that was in pen drive had a much higher resolution).

[Boomerang Python]

Awesome news mate

[Banshee]

Hey guys, we'd like to apologise for the sudden change of plans, but here's the deal:

We've got only one person in the event, whose APOC suggested to demo his own mod. The other invited person was cut due to budget problems and won't be there unless a miracle happens. The person who is confirmed in the event said that he can plug one mod in the event at most (I.e.: Only War 2).

Now, a 4 minutes trailer would be a bit much, so if you can limit your trailer into 2 minutes and a half, it would become more viable.


We need the trailer by June 11th.

[Ash]

Hm. I'll just make a trailer to my own deadline...call it inter-community promo, to be shown at some later date.
