We have ingame video... lets not waste it!

Folks, we now have something that no other MMO has done: ingame video! Lets not waste this.

Devs, please don't throw away this code after the Blue Sky event. Keep it around! Can we not use these screens for a great variety of things? Perhaps, streaming video? Dare I say... movie trailers? Perhaps, movies themselves?

One thing is for sure: I'd really like to see more video ingame.

I was thinking bluepill-ish movies that are very short. It would even be awesome to see bluepills come in and sit-down, watch for 10 min or so, then walk out. Then maybe they could extend that bluepill interaction to the rest of the city. -if only-

What i'd like to see is them make one of the construction sites a ampitheater with a stage(shakespear in spring anyone?) and screen and cut up old black and white samuri films(or anything they can get for free) in to like 10min segments and spread out the film over a month or something along those lines,Or put in the ampitheater and we can put in our own movies client side and watch whatever we want.

Ooh, I like this idea a lot. Same with the 'movie theatre' idea floated a while back. Just small, 5MB or so videos every month, maybe.

*bing*

It might break the immersion, but how about having the cinematics playing on there?

yes... and

NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo.... lol

yeah that would break the immersion BAD. lol

Movie Theaters are a must now... must place them in game. =D
