Cinematic Starts

[leviski 2152]

Instead of logging in and seeing the usual drull and "you are here"

Upon fresh spawn your character should be unconscious with blurry vision and as you get up it will tell you where you are and then you go do what you want.

Nothing big or game changing just make it seem like you washed up on shore or something so you can give yourself more of a back-story.

-added- Make it force 1rst person until the sequence is over?

Character is looking up at the sky with blurry vision, as vision unblurs and focuses you get up and go on your way.

How many times would people watch that cinematic before they are spamming their [Escape] key? :P

Sounds pretty cool.

Well its just the process of logging in really, your character is laying down looking up to the sky, vision focuses and then he gets up and then your playing. like a 10 second deal.

Not a bad idea as long as its not a 40 min animation I'm cool with it

Lol why would it take 40 minutes? I really like this idea. It's simple but would add more to make fresh spawning feel more real. It could take somewhere between 5-15 seconds.

This is a good idea. Instead of a loading screen that breaks immersion, wouldn't it be amazing if, once you clicked the button to join a server, you were thrown into this cut scene as the game loads!

Example:

You are in the server lobby and you click "join".

After a brief loading screen, you enter the cut scene. The cutscene is simple and its just your character looking into the sky while the game is loading things. As the loading finishes, you character starts to get up. When the loading is finally done, your character has exited the "cutscene" and can go about playing the game.

The cut scene would last however long the person was loading into the game. If you had a quick loading time, the cutscene would be short and vice versa for long loading times.

This could happen whenever you loading into the game, not just as a fresh spawn.

But would you be vunrable to any people? like if those bandits killing fresh spawns? would you visble to other players or would you pop in standing up or lying down when the cutscene ends
