Am I the only one who thinks this is cringe worthy and a bit naff?

Not impressed!

Fan boy retaliation in 3... 2... 1... :twirly:

Much love for that video and it is good to see that AT are linking all of X-Sector together!

 

[Quetzal]

Holy Batman this is amazing!

X Sector makes so much sense as a whole now, and I absolutely adore it. I always worried that X Sector wouldn't really work story wise, rather thematically after the introduction of the Smiler. Now I needn't worry. More of this please.

 

[Tom]

Great video. Very intriguing and pretty eerie really. I'm impressed that they are pursuing such a dark and intimidating atmosphere with this. Scenes are definitely inspired by Paranormal Activity I think.

 

[Rob]

This is brilliant, well done Alton Towers! Great to see Dr Kelman being used, he is such a great character. Clearly Kelman 'treated' Cedars, and Cedars is now the main guy who is probably in control of The Smiler. I really like the other references to X-Sector also, very nicely done. Can't wait to see this progress!

clues seem to be sentences used in the video. So not as elaborate an arg as I would have liked!

Spoiler

second clue is "it's time 2" shown on the side of the vhs tape.

So what do we reckon the odds are on what's in these spoiler tags being on the side of the next VHS tape? (Assuming, of course, that another video is made/)

Spoiler

Get Corrected

 

[Fredward]

well the first clue is...

Spoiler

"Do not resist", as shown on one of the posters in the house in the first video.

second is "it's time 2"

Do not resist it's time 2...

the obvious choice for the next clue is "get corrected" , but that's quite boring, since it's been in marketing since the beginning!

 

[Jonathan]

That's a fair point, but it may help people make the links between the videos and SW7.

 

[Sammy]

I have to say, I am now completely terrified by this! These videos are fantastic, really really clever story and a nice appearance from the good Doctor! I can't wait to see the rest of the story progress!

On a side note, I am a little lost with the whole 'clues' aspect? How do we know they are the clues, or do we not know for certain? Is this just me being particularly slow

 

[Fredward]

check my post just before yours if you want spoilers and to know the answers!

If you don't want to be spoiled just watch the videos and each is hidden in it's corresponding video.

They seem to just be random phrases in the videos...

I've clicked on the spoiler tags and seen what you've posted as the clues, but is that just a guess from you, or does the website tell you they are correct when you post them?

 

[Fredward]

yeah they come up with ticks on the site.

fill them in on here

When you type the clue and press enter on the keyboard, it comes up with a tick next to it - however it doesn't seem to allow you to progress without all 4 clues.

 

[Sammy]

Yeah, as I expected... It was just me being slow! I kinda didn't think to hit enter!

Cheers guys!

On a separate note....

Spoiler

I've just had a side thought, this may well be looking too deep, but I couldn't help but notice, the Miles in the 2nd video doesn't have a beard! I wonder if he has now grown a beard to hide the trademark Sanctuary Smile Scars?!! Just a thought

 

[Max]

If the next clue is Get Corrected, can anyone else see the whole clues thing as being an announcement for its opening day?

Do not resist, it's time 2, Get Corrected, *opening date*

It's certainly plausible, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[djtruefitt]

Depends when the videos were recorded I suppose. If it was a while back I cant see the opening date in them.

 

[Dar]

May they'll add in the "join us" that's been flashing on the Marmaliser since it was turned on?

So we'd have:
Do not resist
It's time 2
Join us
and Smile/Get Corrected?
