I remember the latest trailer they made for us...
Used a ton of old assets from old trailers. Some of the "new" footage was from B-roll of the latest patch. Only brand new stuff was the skill tree, which also had a glitch showing negative allocated skill points. Then they try and hook the viewer by showing off the success of EVE and compares it to Dust.
In my opinion, that's not creating a trailer, that's just doing some editing work with voiceover.
On the other hand, "This is EVE" perfectly captures the essence of the game on a whole new level by pulling a page from Planetside 2 and using the voice communications of actual players fighting actual battles. (I'm not sure if Planetside 2 was the first to do it, but it was my first exposure to this.) They pull the level of information down and show you how the battles went in beautiful CGI, putting away things overviews and spreadsheets and letting the viewer experience the feeling of torp-ing a Dominix, hearing the jargon of battle, a new player frantically figuring out how to warp, a bored fleet falling into a smartbomb trap, a lone explorer making away like a thief in the night with loot that Blackbeard could only dream of and 100 times that with another thief lurking behind him, a miner stripping away at a rock that would yield a huge fortune, showing the UI with explainations of what the player is building and how long it takes, followed by yet another fitting a ship, and finishing it off with a grand finale of a successful bombing run, with quick montages to other UI elements that EVE has to offer.
It uses no reused property from other videos and has a massive amount of community contributed recordings of the different happenings in EVE.
Quite frankly, it's a work of art, and one of the best trailers they have made by far.
Before we can get a trailer similar to this in Dust, we must first have a game comparable to it. Not saying it's bad now, but I would like to take it a step further: I want to see the The Prophecy trailer done like "This is EVE" trailer.
