EVE Online

EVE Online

This for me, envisions what Eve Online really is, the video shows how the emotions of players can really show, the anger, the rage, the joy, the love. It shows us in our best and our worst.

And of course, this is one of the best eve online trailers ever made.

I really like a fairly recent video by The Escapist - documentary about the making of EVE Online.

It’s a well-crafted film that features early footage, photos, and insightful interviews with the creators. The documentary does an fantastic job of capturing the game's development journey, and explaining how this project evolved into the iconic game it is today. The combination of rare behind-the-scenes content and engaging storytelling makes it a must-watch for any fan of the game.

This content is great for an evening watch on a big screen, bring your family too!!!

My favorite EVE Online video is the machinima series Clear Skies by Ian Chisholm.

It's considered a Space Western and features three episodes, with the first released on May 29, 2008. I admire the incredible work Ian put into this project, including modding other games to replicate station walking before it was even a feature in EVE Online. While I couldn't find the original videos, I discovered a recent 4K upscale version.

There's also a wiki page and an IMDb page with all the project details.

A great quick example of WHPD Chief in action! You get to see the background check, use of in game intel, module management, and calm under pressure!

I used his short form videos for almost a year, as my way to rewind at the end of the day with limited bandwidth available!

Shame on all of you for not putting forth some CLASSIC R&K

I always get a laugh out of this 5head move and the video is very well done <3

So for me i have to say it wad this video from Goomswarm back in the early years EVE Online, as well as the early years of me learning the game. For those not familiar with this, Goonswarm and Band of Brothers had one of the biggest hostilities (not even rivalries, it was pure antagonistic to my understanding) in EVEs history. The campaigns against each other spilled across not only the games universe but further across the internet hencd this video but aldo in the real world.

I think my favourite Eve video is the official Eve Gameplay Trailer. It was this video in form of YT adds that brought me to the game and every time I watch it I remember the times I took a 6 mins break every time it turned up. This is not exactly an original choice, so I thought a bit and came up with this one:

I especially like it when the "Bastardized Hurricane" finally enters a safe system with no one in local...

The video was published on the YT channel "Resurrected Starships" by the Eve pilot Maximillian Bonaparte.

There are likely many amazing EVE Online videos out there, and narrowing them down to just one is incredibly challenging. However, I want to share one that particularly caught my attention and helped me immensely when I felt lost in the game.

In this video created by The Brave Dojo, a channel focused on guides and tutorials for members of the Brave alliance, they demonstrate how to use a Phoenix dreadnought to earn ISK in anomalies that are usually overlooked by most players, resulting in approximate earnings of 70 million ISK per tick.

My favorite video of all time has to be the "When PVP players go mining." It's such a joyful ribbing themselves for how serious PVP can sound and it's one of those things that always makes me chuckle when I see it. The camera work was really good and calls to mind any number of CCP official trailers that use in-game footage. All around, it's one of those videos that stands out in my mind as being one that shouldn't be forgotten even if some of the details won't be accurate to current gameplay. The folks who made it really outdid themselves with some top tier humor.

PL vs Tuskers match 3 of ATIV Finals. Gotta love "taking the simulation as is" when every single player is unable to control their ship losing us a whole load of Caedes and Rabisus.

Rooks and Kings: Clarion Call 3 (1080p available) (youtube.com)

1000% this! - aside from some of the footage, you will learn game mechanics, tactics, and still as relevant today as it was when it was released.

Pop the kettle on, sit down, relax and enjoy!

Clear Skies, and absolute classic, still as great today as it was 12 years ago. Somehow seamlessly combining EVE Online with Half-Life 2 for interior scenes, and a timeless source of EVE quotes including the infamous "it's hot drop o'clock!".

Hi Reog342! Thanks for entering the bounty. Unfortunately, Just About is an English-language only platform (for now), so we can only accept videos in the English language unless the subtitles have been excellently translated. And for this video, the only option is YouTube's auto-translate function, which isn't quite good enough. Please feel free to edit your submission and replace it with a different video. o7

One of my favorite third-party EVE Online videos is "This is EVE" (2014) by CCP Games. Although it’s an official trailer, it features real player audio from various in-game scenarios, making it feel like a community-driven project. The video is a compilation of real fleet fights, mining operations, wormhole adventures, and more, all set to an epic soundtrack.

The video highlights the importance of teamwork, strategy, and communication in EVE. It’s a reminder that, while EVE is a game of space and ships, it’s really about the people who play it.

Every time I watch "This is EVE," I feel inspired to log in and become part of something bigger than myself. It’s a powerful reminder of the stories and adventures waiting to be had in New Eden.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, "This is EVE" is an iconic piece of EVE Online's history and a perfect example of why the game has such a passionate and dedicated player base.

Classic :)
the voiceline is goosebumping with the setup.

I do not think that counts as a third-party video, as it was posted by CCP Games themselves.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

I'm afraid Limal is right. It's a great video, and it is community focused, but in the rules, we state it must be a 'non-official EVE video'

I like this YouTube channel because it was the first as far as I know to discuss EVE online in Indonesia 4 years ago.
