Proposed Opening And Closing Cinematics

[Xenomorphine]

What are your feelings on the opening and closing cinematics for each side's campaign?

 

I'd hope that the main one for the game as a whole would be along the lines of 'Warhammer', which was incredibly atmospheric, but I have an idea of what the final one for the Imperial campaign might be...

 

The camera sweeps across strewn debris in space, the aftermath of galactic warfare. Fading in and out between positions, we venture along to some other new location. Several close-ups are seen of something being constructed at a vast ship yard. Components are being slotted into place. Patrolling TIE fighters scream overhead, diverting our attention towards an incoming shuttle, as they proceed to escort alongside it.

 

"Code confirmed. Welcome, Lord Vader."

 

That same shuttle is followed as it glides overhead what seems to be a large base of some type. Surely another Death Star, for the sheer size it seems to project?

 

"Dispense with the pleasantries, Captain, I'm here to put you back on schedule..."

 

The camera slows to a halt, even as the shuttle disappears into the yard's main hanger. The view slowly panning out to reveal...

 

"The Emperor demands full readiness within the week. Failure will not be tolerated."

 

The nose of the huge, mechanised leviathan finally shows itself for what it is and we realise that it's not a base at all. Vader's here to collect something far more ominous - the first of several.

 

The Executor.

 

Cue the inevitable expansion pack!
