As far as I can see, the target audience for this piece would of wet there pants. But i guess i'm not part of that target audience.. so its hard for me to give it too much praise. Very well executed though. I agree. As far as I can see, the target audience for this piece would of wet there pants.

Like I said, the different elements are cool, but they don't mix very well. If a spot looks nice there doesn't have to be a brilliant idea behind it, I agree, but the all in all look and feel should be constant. Again, I don't want to offend anyone who worked on this project. For my personal taste there were just to many different styles included. Yeah, concept was maybe a bad word.

I can point out many spots/animations that don’t have the slightest concept. Take for instance the Pause titles. They are beautiful but is there a concept behind that? I think saying a piece has no concept for the most part has no merit. Think of who they are targeting. Gamers. The concept to appeal to gamers in 10 seconds is throw as much cool shit at them as you can. Exopolis did that and did it well in my opinion. So does everything have to have a great concept?

The elements by themselfes are pretty nice, but combined they seem like every artist on this project did his/her part and it was just thrown together in the end. It's just lacking a good concept.

Also MarkHawk maybe correct and may not be correct. After I updated I watched the video, of coarse, but when you get the new menu, there is an option to "REPLAY INTRO" but i don't know how long it will be available. Good thing the link is on this site, so you can watch it anytime. Just updated my Xbox to see this amazing intro. Also MarkHawk maybe correct and may not be correct.
