TrackMania2: Centralised News about the Game

why should a community member make an trailer?

Because Nadeo doesn't have the time to make a really good trailer. They are working on the game and making an epic trailer costs them too much time.
Also we have some really talented community members, who maybe make better trailers than Nadeo
Additionally, for the earlier TM games they chose a community member as well.
I hope that are reasons enough for you

ahahaha loool, man Nadeo is not relasing tm or a random game, it'^s going to relase a big project game.
You think that they don't make the triler because they don't have enough time? double lol!
They're not relasing tms or a random game, they are relasing their biggest project! You think that nadeo/ubisoft won't spend time and $$$ for a good and professional (made by experts) trailer?

Well, assuming that Nadeo will post the trailer when they get back to the office on Monday, we will probably have a "screener" version on youtube before that, taken with a cellphone or something

It's not complicated to upload the video on youtube before and make it available to everyone on saturday...

We will see. But even this so called "professionals" won't get to the level of some community guys, which going to give the heart for this trailer, for a comparable amount of money (and i think they even won't take money, because they will do it for the game).
About the time aspect (which you are laughing about), this can really be a problem because at Nadeo they use to code and not to make movies (as movie makers are used to).

The trailer is part of the game, marketing, advertising, and development too! So why nadeo shouln't invest money on the trailer? They want reach/attract new potential gamers, that never tried TM! They want to expand the game to a new and big amount of people!
this is not an extension from tmu to tmuf, but a complitely new game.
You think that for Call of Duty, for Assasins creed, the trailers have benn created by players?

A good trailer doesn't need to be expensive or doesn't need to be made be so called "porfessionals"
In our Community we have people creating awesome trailers/movies/videos of TM since years. Some of them are really talented and have a lot of experience. They made way more trailers than nadeo did and so they know, how to make it better. Even "professionals" cannot make a better trailer, which costs money money money because they don't know the possibilities of the TM-shoot-tool. But communitymembers do. And I'm sure, that the person, who made the trailer, had enough time to "experiment" with the possibilities of the TM2shoot tool

Because Nadeo can have a better trailer for free

EDIT:
Also TM is a community-based game. It wouldn't work without the community. The Editor, the possibility to make videos, skins, mods.. etc. All this kind of stuff wouldn't work, if you only had your own created things, if there were no sites like tmx, carpark, dedimania, tm-creative, tm-mod... etc. All this is made for the community ( and by the community). Tm is nothing without the multiplayer and the community. Did you ever tried to play TM only offline. It starts to suck after some time
So also a trailer should be made by the community

You're also right, but well i keep my opinion
If they give the chanse to make the triler to the comunity, then i guess and hope that a private/internal competition will be done.
But that means that they have to distribute the game to the comunitymember/s before the official relase, no?
Isn't that "risky"?

[haenry]

look at EDIT

Nadeo just chose one member to make the trailer.
Also it's as risky as adding players to the beta. So this is no point

[fastforza]

Hardly risky if you have them sign an NDA (Non disclosure agreement).

So you want the beta to be public to all players so you can have a chance.
If the trailer was to be made by a community member you want all players to get the chance to make one, so you can have a chance.

Newsflash!
This is not a democracy. Nadeo does not have to pass everything by you. Nadeo will act in their own best interests. Using experienced players to beta-test? Silly Nadeo, they should just pick some randoms.
Community member making a trailer? No way, they can't do that without giving me a chance.

Nadeo know how to make a computer game, I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.
