Trion Worlds and the Rift development team have released a brand new cinematic trailer featuring a pair of Defiants chasing a Guardian. Seemingly outnumbered and beaten, the Guardian releases a Life rift from a necklace he wears. The battle that follows is epic. Check it out!

Now that's a much better cinematic than the one that currently plays when you launch the game. Good stuff.
I was thinking about the same thing Locke... much nicer IMO. I'm wondering if the game cinematic is a placeholder.
Yeah... Defiants have to go 2 on 1. AND STILL LOSE!
Sorry, that got my Guardian going. Excellent movie, I like the focus on the bird, showing how it changes based on what plane is coterminous with Telara in that area. Good indicator.
Yea? Whats up with that ?!
Technically it was 2 on 1 and then boom a RIFT and 1 versus the 2 Defiant. Heheh. He called in the Rift to take care of em. Tactical win for the Guardian.
Awesome cinematic indeed

Very nice looking cinematic, but the storyline is a real stretch. Let me get this straight. You're being pursued and the only strategy you can come up with is to open a world-destroying planar rip that who knows what is going to come rolling out of? Kind of like burning your house down to keep a burglar from stealing your stuff!
Rift's lore is a little farfetched at best and is little more than an excuse to have two factions. I can accept that the factions have different ideas about how to deal with the invasions, but using rifts as a weapon against each other? Please.
I couldn't believe it when I witnessed a Guardian NPC attempt to heal a Water foothold while a bunch of Defiants were trying to fight off the creatures coming through and close the rift. Great cinematic, fun game, but some of the lore requires a major suspension of logic.

He changed his build to fight the Rogue and didn't expect to fight a Rift

Call me a party pooper, but somehow it didn't *speak* to me. Nothing I could identify with in a way. Can't sympathzise with heathen Defiants; but what's it good for to follow "Gods" if not for the virtue?
Likely I was influenced too much by the Avatar of Ultima...

Party pooper
Mommy mommy he called me... =P
Seriously, I am that sort of Paladin, I need to know I fight the good fight, I fight for virtue and righteousness, for a better world. These two, evil machinists and dubious Guardians... hm hm.
