First proper trailer for Ascension with plot details

Post by Droo »

Finally a full trailer for Ascension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZzk-Fk07ug

I must say I think cautiously this looks like it could be actually good. It's a mobile/desktop streaming series so wasn't expecting PS5 level graphics, so not bothered by that.

I've been rooting for this project for a while so maybe I'm biased in favour of it, but I'm intrigued and looking forward to this now that we finally know more of what it's about.

This trailer might be the most interesting that the project has looked. I'm still hoping that we get some sort of release after the fact that lets us play and make choices individually. I'm constantly going back and forth on how much I like the community choices aspect to the thing.

The Norwegian town this partially takes place in, "Stilledalen" roughly translates from Norwegian according to translation sites to mean "Silent Valley."

Whether it turns out well or not, I'm excited to see what happens. The devs are clearly putting a lot of work into it, and I appreciate how forthcoming the Genvid lead was being over at Resetera about everything. At the very least, it's a nifty thought.

I just wish I could participate that first night when it drops, but I'll be out at Halloween Horror Nights. Fun times, at least!

If you miss it on premier night due to Halloween activities, will there be somewhere you can catch the episode at a later time?

Episodes will be combined into weekly episodes, apparently, so you can catch up all at once if you don't care about the voting process.

I wish I were hearing more buzz about this, with the live event coming up tonight(?). I went to the site, and it looks like it's currently down and being worked on.

This felt like an odd concept from the pitch, but I'm open-hearted about it, and was hoping to tune in. Anyone else have a better bead on what's happening and how to be a part of it?

It was live for awhile before it was taken down. It was a buggy mess. It all looks like shit. Doesn't bode well unfortunately.

I'm guessing that's because there's an influx of people signing up for it. That's an even better sign that people are interested and tuning in.

The website on my laptop is working fine, though it's just showing previous trailers.

The website is working fine on my browser although my purchase of the season pass hasn't unlocked what it's supposed to yet. Perhaps not until after the official launch?

I'm so sad, I thought it was launching 9pm GMT but apparently it's 01:00 GMT. It's a work night so guess I'll just have to watch this passively :(

Votes will be open for a period of time for the most part. Only a handful of things will be affected live. The first vote is open right now until the launch event tonight for example.

I got the notification in my phone and saw the first "episode"... really short but it allowed me to make the first decision.

I went on there and there's like somebody talking along with the video.

Wow
