To tide you over until Monday, I just uploaded the new Admiral's Edition Intro Movie to our Members Club. If you've registered your copy of War in the Pacific, you'll see it under My Games in your War in the Pacific Private Downloads. Enjoy.

Regards,

- Erik

They're supposed to be that way, frames dissolving into each other.

Status: offline 		Well I like it too but I'll stick with the original one - the music in the new one isn't as punchy, and the videos that were selected were quite one-sided (loads of Pacific islands action, no IJA mainland stuff... But well I can see the "Admiral" part in there). Moreover the WitP one was telling us a story (at least Ive always saw it that way btw). Laaaa-Laaaa-lalalalaaaaa-la-la-laaa!

I don't think I have ever seen the one for WitP. I did the NOVIDEO thing based on UV.

Funny thing though, I go back to WitP to watch the movie for it, and it doesn't have video! Strange.

I normally did the NOVIDEO thing too so it has been a long time since I have seen it.

The policy of restricting the AE manual and intro movie to 'subscribers' to WitP does nothing to attract new buyers and everything to generate resentment on the part of those who might become buyers and players, but are excluded on account of not having bought in to the previous iteration.

Making this material available to all can do nothing to reduce sales but everything to attract new players.

How many computer games you know where the developers let you download and see the manual before you buy the game. This is a bonus for those who are already customers.
Usually no other company would give you anything like a "waiting-bonus". Not for old customers and not for new ones.
And the intro video, that I'm sure, will be on Youtube within a few days. So what.

Because I did this from home over the weekend and didn't have access to make it a public download, simple as that.
