Lineage II will be making its debut performance on MTV2's innovative show Video Mods (http://www.mtv2.com/#series/13696), which combines video games and popular songs from great artists to create a killer music video. Don't miss it!
*oh please don't let it show me being "owned" in a siege*
Woot!! It's about time! :) :)

Finally some exposure. MTV, what's that again? :p

*oh please don't let it show me being "owned" in a siege*


I'd buy the video and probably wet myself!

Will NCsoft be uploading a segment to it's ftp server? I lost faith in television a few years ago so I don't have a subscription.
Is there any chance the video will become downloadable from the webpage? I have no way to watch US TV, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would want to see it nonetheless.

ETA: Two fools, and no more one thought between them...
Edited to provide link to MTV's show site - the video will, I believe, be posted there at some point.

Psst... Choch.. methinks the prizes for the third set of responses (60-day gametime card) is better than the first two. =D
I'm going to be moving in a billion different directions at the same time so bear with me sarge.

Is this CG supplied from NC to MTV2?
If so will it be offered as a download so the community can make their own videos?
If not can NC get the rights to offer it to the community?

In terms of the company CG video on the web site, can NC offer the CG files so the community can make a mini lineage movie?
If not can NC release some CG for the lineage community to make a movie?

I will be recording the Lineage MTV2 video coming up with the idea of letting people add their own music to the video. Who else is doing so?

I see a great opportunity for NC and the Community

Let me see if I can answer your questions.

Yes, the CG trailers were provided to MTV from NCsoft. This deal has been a while in the making and we're all very excited at its fruition.

I will have to ask if the video itself will be available for download on the L2 site, but I believe it will be on the MTV2 website in any case, so I don't see the difference there.

As far as making the CG source files available, I have to admit being a little out of my depth there, but I can ask. You bring up some interesting concepts. I might smell a contest brewing!

I watch MTV every once in a while. Its awesome what they can do with the characters(i wouldnt be surprised to see a dwarf do the moonwalk) if u ever seen one before you know its cool.

P.S.: You better give it good music.....or else.
I'm guessing NC supplies the video and Mtv adds the music.
Yes, NC supplies most of the CG assets and MTV supplies the music. And, personally, I think the song is pretty cool, but musical taste varies wildly, or so I'm told. :)

Just tell me that we get to see some orc tyrants......

Please the orcy.... :D
I personally think the last 20 is the best ones my self, who cares for a T-shirt or the dvd collecters set!!
60 day free acc thats just awesome!! I.e. I start my new acc and p lvl a SE and a prophet for free for 60days.
I hear the kids like to dance to it, see?
Bah, humbug! :mad: I'm not a kid. I don't dance. Last time I looked at a television was sometime in 2003.

Great idea, though! :D I hope it works.
There was a ton of videos on the site (you can watch them in your browser) but i was unable to find the one with L2 photage :(
it's not on till tomorrow :)

I hear the kids like to dance to it, see?



Let me guess...its either a bunch of DE's doing the Macarena or a bunch of Elves doing the Electric Slide.

Or a bunch of humans doing country line dancing to Shania Twain's "Any man of mine".

The orcs and thd dorfs would be doing the Tootsie Roll or the Roger Rabbit

:D

Someone say Barf? :D

Boink boink. :D
Hahaha...

MTV is doing what's been done by people on the 'net for YEARS. Hopefully no one actually thinks that this is original. AMVs have been around for a very long time. MTV just realized that they could make money off of it.

Which means it (the concept and entire community of AMV creators and lovers) will shortly be ruined. Thanks MTV.

:mad:
How would they be ruined by this? if anything it will make it more popular.
I'm going to try to record the up coming video mod with and without sound.

The idea i have without sound is. I'll host the video so people can make there own video mod.

It would help if a few others could also record the video mod, just in case things don't work out on my end...

Can anyone record it?
/Screams out loud......

WE HAVE ORC........... :eek:

I fail to see the similarities between an AMV and a video mod?

...an AMV is just clips from an anime with music added. A video mod is a bunch of new custom-made animations for the music in question. It's like if you'd take the characters from your favourite anime and then reanimated them by hand playing the bongos to fit the music... and atleast I haven't seen any AMVs that serious so far ;) (but I could be wrong)
I got it.... Give me a few hours to import it to my pc and encode it so i can upload it.
Well, it was a cool song, but I think I would have picked something else. A lot of old CG was used, but the "band" was neat.


:)
That was pretty cool. Some nice exposure for the game, to be sure.
The song they chose was somewhat... ***-twitchingly awful. I'd kind of liked to have seen movements from the guitar and bass players that were better coordinated with the music like in other video mods offerings. They didn't look like they were getting into it. :D
Regardless, it was pretty cool to watch.
It was ok, but i think they could've done better, in comparison to the other songs it did ok.
Was a disappointing video, thought it would have some in game video or something on it, was just made of the old demo videos I've downloaded and watched a while ago.
Pretty nice. I liked it.
We liked it too...

But tell me, was the orc playing an Atuba bass?

nevermind

~M~
i loved it!!!

i <3 the killers and i <3 my l2

:D :D :D
I thought it was pretty cool. It also showcased one of the highlights of L2...the metrosexualness of human males!

Other than that I thought it was very well done.

EDIT:
Oh and I'll be going over the e-mail entries tomorrow if anyone is wondering :)
I was able to get the video encoded down to 40 megs.... Can a few people help me mirror this thing for the ones that couldn't watch it?
I could always host it on my filefront account.
I'm in the process of uploading it, once i get done i'll post the url so people can mirror it...

Later tomorrow, i was thinking of holding a sort of add the music yourself event.

Lets see what kind of talented people we have... :D
Thank so much splatter, I went on the Mtv2 site looking to see if they had the video yet in their archives, to no avail. Oh well, get this "mirroring" thing done quick, I'd loove to see this vid :D!
Okay. Uploading. Might take about an hour though.. my UL speed is capped, so it's roughly 10% of my DL sleed.

Btw, I started DLing as I posted t his, and there is only 30 seconds left XD
Its pretty good, 3 complaints though.

1. The lead singer is just.....erhm...I think Choch put it right.
2. No Dark Elf Chicks :(
3. Not very L2 like music :(

Other than that, very cool that its on MTV.

I'll post a mirror of the file shortly.
Is there a place to download this because it takes about 10 minute to buff it so i would just like to download it can anyone provide a link to where i can.
Fixed, **** forum automatically adds forum url if it doesn't have http://
while dowloading it the dowloading rate went from 40 kb slowly down to 1kb is this normal from this site?
Try mine. It's usually 300 kbps.
Thats actually the one im using
That's pretty cool. It's probably best that they used CG instead in ingame play. Usually the only ones that get benefit from watching ingame play are the players themselves. Though you never know.
What was with the Light Elf on guitar?

She was twitching more that Courtney Love on a dry spell.

3. Not very L2 like music



"By combining some of our audience's biggest passions, we're extending the life of some of the most popular video games and characters through the world of music and is representative of the type of programming that we strive for at MTV2."

In your opinion, what music would have fit L2 properly AND been able to fit in with the MTV 2 audience?
should of showed a one of Aden castle sieges and played the song Let the bodies hit the floor by Drowing Pool :)

Someone did some great castle siege videos on Devianne one had Nirivana as the song it fit very well.
very nice - but where are the female orcs?? :mad:

Nightwish... Hands Down!
Your have that chance, when i post the video without the music so you can add your own.
man, this is so coool, i like it !
I hate the song and band featured with a near passion, so I guess I'm a bit biased... it was overall ok. I would have liked to see any kind of dwarf, male or female T_T
Haha.. the LE on guitar looked like she was having a siezure.
I was just about to say the same. That LE-guitarist were a shock. Seizures to the max!
Let's see . . . SWG, WoW, and EQ2 don't have video mods . . . :D

I thought it was a great video, music and all. It can only help fight that early bad press. Then again, it is MTV were talking about here . . . :p

Nightwish indeed. I think Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, and Dragonforce all would have sufficed also. They are cool types of bands where you couldn't be sure if it's targeted at metal heads or dungeons and dragons players.

If any of you have heard of this song by stephen lynch (http://www.foundrymusic.com/opieanthony/displaymedia.cfm/id/3121/div/opieanthony/media_search/LATEST/LATEST/all/page/download_STEPHEN_LYNCH___DUNGEONS_AND_DRAGONS.html ) i think you would agree it is the perfect song for L2. I'm not sure if you can still get it from that radio station's website, but if you can't, I seriously suggest you try to find that song, its hilarious.

Lol.. love stepen lynch.. got to see him in concert at a small club in Harvard Square... Club Passim. Great place, small, intimate... good food.
Anyone have a better quality version somewhere?

Thank you

I don't think the LE guitarist was stuttering out of any creator's desire to imbue her character with withdrawal symptoms. Just craptastic animation. I was hoping for a little more original footage. I don't have speakers on the computer I used to watch the video, so I didn't even hear the music. It's probably for the best (http://www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com).

Not only is CountZero (AKA Ash) a Simpson's fan but he used the word Craptastic (re: simpson's reference "craptacular")

Me thinks we will see more of the real "Ash" in the coming months...

I don't know. I think for the first attempt it was good. They used what they had on hand.

If you look close at the human that got killed in the E3 2005 - Cinematic video he's the same one as the singer in the video.


**Edit**
And on a side note.. I cann't believe ash just said that.

Just craptastic animation

i finally got to see it.

thanks for the upload guys. ( and orcs)

thats very cool. i did hope for new cinematics but that was still pretty **** good. will we be seeing those drumset as a new chronicle item?
I want that Phat beat box that orc was struming...
Fun to watch, but no DE chicks doing the /waiting emote :(
Come on....couldn't put a dwarf on the drums? It's pritty cool though.

Could they reach the drums? :p

Lol.. nice.. good answer! :D
Hehehe, nice.. i was goin to the MT2 Video Mods webpage for like every 5 hours ever since this thing came out cause i was unable to watch it. (was playing L2 and forgot about it). Now that i saw it though, I believe they should of put all the races there dancin or doin stuff. Oh well.. maybe next time
Thats the thing most people don't understand that complained about the video. A person has to start some where when they do something. For the first shot at it i think they did a good job, cann't wait for the second MTV video mod from NC.
I wonder who taught the singer to dance because I want to be able to dance like him, like some kind of drunkin bum in a karaoke bar :)
I thought it was good and actually thought the song fit the video pretty **** good. It could have been much much worse.
The video was ok, good work on it.

I liked the fight seens with the humin and the DE, very very cool.. I didn't understand what the deal was with the female in it tho, tring to figure out the meening to it.. some how she gets hurt by dusk wining the compation.

(hince the moon turning red with the eye)
It also leaves off at the end too, where she falls but no one wins. well what is cool is they fight and that turned out good.

I didn't like the humin singer I just did not like his danceing thought it was anioning!
Neat... can't fine it in the list of music... I really want to see it.

The video you were talking about the blood red moon with the eye and the DE falling down... Is from L2 movie short, look under the movie section of the web site you want....
E3 2004 - Cinematic
I liked the video and music, good job nc ;)
Just a question, who makes the video? NC NA or NC Korea?
most definetly it was the work of NA.

i dont think there is mtv2 in korea..
The LE guitarist was very .... mechanic. But the Orc Basist is good. I really the like the MTV overall and can;t help to notice the armour piece for the singer that cover the most important part is so prominent.....
Yeh I saw that with the LE on the guitar. Very um...... spastic. I would say. Personally, I don't think the sound really fits the L2 sence.
I saw it and was once more amazed to the quality of the graphics. Very good work. I hope it helps bringing more people to this game.

I was able to get the video encoded down to 40 megs.... Can a few people help me mirror this thing for the ones that couldn't watch it?



I've just pulled the files, i thought i had more then enough bandwidth. But i just got slapped with a bill for $220.00 bucks for overbandwidth. :(

***Edit*** Ok, after going over the log files and how many people linked to those files on other sites. I found where my bandwidth went too. :eek:
Heh, I have to watch that on my site too. The biggest downloaders have been Russian and Korean/Chinese sites.
Any chance sarge that the video mod could be hosted on this web site too. It is L2 related and it should be under the movies section...

Because that may not always be up at mtv...
Dear GOD!! Not with that song!!
Just checking, if anyone got this recorded in HDTV plz send me a link to download it or I'll give you FTP info to upload it to mine.

Thank you

A left-handed LE? I'd like to see that in game :)
