Red Vs Blue Season 9



Hey guys josh here again bringing you an update on the new season of  Red Vs Blue.

Now as I'm sure most of you know Red Vs Blue is an extremely popular web series following the battle of two armies.  Conveniently titled "The Reds" and "The Blues". Now the series is approaching its 9th season and with fans waiting patiently for an update i can now reveal some details about the upcoming season. Now before i get into the basic plot of Season 9 I should point out that if you haven't watched the last couple of seasons of Red Vs Blue this is going to make no sense so i highly recommend watching the last 3 seasons to get a good grasp on the story and get to know the characters.

Now onto the trailer. As those of you who went to Pax East a couple of days ago will know Rooster Teeth revealed a lovely little trailer with some interesting factors to it. The first most noticeable thing is. Its animation capture by the looks of things which means they have took full advantage of Monty (the motion capture guy) and have shot most if not the whole season in mo-cap. Meaning they are not limited to the game engine like previous seasons and they can move the characters about more and do the near impossible.

(Remember this is camera quality)

The first thing we see is a spaceship (pelican) approaching a space station asking for permission to dock. They get repeatedly refused access until a figure approaches the captain seat and says the words "This is director Church"  The crowd lets out a giant roar. We then find that a soldier in white is down. (Meta) We then catch a glimpse of Agent Washington as he is pacing back and forth worrying over his comrades safety as an operation is carried out. he then says the phrase "hold on there buddy" which leads us to believe Washington and Meta are partners in a team. Another Spartan enters asking how injured soldier is (we don't know who this is) Washington tells him that the white soldier was shot in the throat and it is likely he wont talk again (explaining why the meta growls). Washington asks if he thinks everything is moving to fast and mentions the A.I like they are a new prospect (hinting this is set before the red and blue soldiers we know and love meet him and the meta)


Then all hell breaks loose. We are shown brief snippets of action scenes. Spaceship battles, Huge Explosions, Car chases on a motorway (Warthog, Puma, Walrus). The words appear "Before Red Vs Blue". "There Was Project Freelancer" Which confirms the is a prequel to the Red Vs Blue we already know and looks like it will follow Washington and his team. Maybe even show what happened to the A.I and how the fragments where handed out and how they effected soldiers. We also see a quick shot of Church (Blue Army Church) in his A.I World. (maybe they plan to switch back and forth and as Church finds more out we go into a memory. Like in Halo 3 ODST) We see Washington and 2 other soldier surrounded by what looks like other soldiers (its very blurry) as they rush towards the screen. We then see the iconic Red Vs Blue logo and Season 9. Which means that this season wont have a title beginning with "R" like the previous ones ( Reconstruction, Recreation and Revelation)



So it sounds like Rooster Teeth is giving us more of a back story to Agent Washington and Expanding on the A.I and Project Freelancer Story. What do you guys think. Comments below. Many thanks the director of Project Freelancer.
