Interesting D2 M2 promo video - never seen it

Post by awbacon » Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:39 pm

Of all the stuff i've read / seen of D2 for the M2, i've never seen this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7G1NuWciEE&t=1h7m30s

It's the fmv pre-rendered trailer that has been seen before, but the shot ordering is completely different, the music has added notes, and the pacing is much slower than the one on the D2 disc for Dreamcast (and added shots / extended shots, especially of the bodies on stakes Vlad Tepes style...noticed all that since I am a filmmaker)

did I just miss this, or is it something not many people have seen

Note : it's a long play video for D's Diner Directors Cut for 3DO....go to the end to see the video of D2. Wish I could translate the text at the end of the promo vid

I've seen this on the Director's Cut it's available as a bonus as well but what I haven't seen is the credits with baby suckling noises & music box version of the theme.

I've seen / heard of the baby crying noise if you collect all four scarabs...guessing that has to do with the original plot of D2 (from what I can gather via the FMV trailers / article write-ups) where Laura's baby is stolen on the plane

D2 is still top on my list of games I wish would leak, if anything does exist. (doubting it does...but hoping) I loved the version for Dreamcast, but still want the M2 version

Or D3...also would love that haha

Ah I just went to the site and found out where the baby suckling noises & music box version of the theme came from.
I also added the bad ending to the end of this video.
That also explains the ending with the father after the credits. I actually must have seen this as I accidentally told a friend of mine that it was a trick and not to shoot him. She wasn't too pleased with me.

PS. I edited the link to just right after the credits so no one has to look for it. ;)
