Sad to see that the video is down. My first guess would have been that it was done at the request of Paradox, since I had heard a rumor that the reason Stellaris wasn't streamed during the Pc-Gamer-Weekender was that Paradox didn't want to. Which made more sense than pcgamer simply ignoring stellaris since it was easily the second most requested game to see during the weekender, with Mount and Blade: Bannerlord being the first.
But that doesn't make that much sense, since the video was promoted here by Johan of paradox itself.
Additionally they wouldn't have any reason at all not to want to show it. I saw it before it was taken down and there was not a single thing wrong with it. There were no crashes or anything, the game ran very very smooth even on the highest speed and the presenter was able to answer all questions satisfactory. The only reason I could possibly come up with to withold the video would be that the presenter said that they're saving a few things, like superweapons (Deathstar, Dyson-sphere), for possible expansions. That is something that some people might not like to hear, but if they played any modern paradox game they know this allready. And possible expansions have allready been mentioned plenty of times by devs.
Anyway coming to the video itself:
It looks great, I am really looking forward to playing it myself. It runs smooth, planet building seems not too tedious, research looks really interesting. The event-chains and missions also look really cool. The only thing that I would like to have and that wasn't shown (Not saying it isn't there, it just wasn't shown) is some sort of auto-build feature. The way he build ships in the presentation was by directly selecting his space-port and manually building additional vessels for his fleet. Which may become very tedious, very fast in the late game when you want to build big flee
What I really liked is that after an election of a president the game tells you what promises the president made during his campaign and fullfilling them gives you some influence. Really nice little background information. There was also a cool little event-chain/mission that started during the video about a chief-scientist stealing a prototype science-vessel and disappearing.
And I was absolutly stunned by the sheer size of the galaxy and the amount of different races. No small-scale galaxy or vast amount of space without any other life in it, like in other 4x-space-games.

First impressions:
Graphics generally look better in this video than in screenshots. Zooming was smooth, but zoom sensitivity appeared to be very high. Are there shortcuts for focussing on fleet/ship/homeworld/etc? If not, there should be.
Planets look fantastic. Seriously.
Missiles were pretty large compared to ships. While in the earth system, the nebula and stars in the background were too bright and noticable. Real space is pretty dark. Not saying that we should have pitch black space, but a little more subtle background would probably help create a good atmosphere and the space scene high contrast look. NASA photos of the ISS are a good example.
Animated portraits were a nice surprise. Aliens look pretty interesting and more varied than what has been shown so far.
The UI also looked pretty good. Responsive, crisp lines, no elements that attract too much attention, not too small, etc. A bit skeptical about the heavy use of icons over text.
I noticed two things that I hope will be improved before release. Female humans have a manly face, and missiles made impossibly sharp turns shortly before hitting their target.

Well, I only wanted to know about the comet sighted event in Stellaris. Cheers, mates, see you at Victoria 3.
@Johan Can I post the screenshots in this thread, in the Image Gallery thread, or should I wait for the oficial link? I been trying to keep an up to date source of images for the game while we wait for release, as well as a source to where I found them. So just wanted to know.

Looking at the "southern tip" (I know this doesn't really apply in space but whatever) You can see 5 Empires pretty much directly bordering a Fallen Empire that's taking up so much room for expansion,I can see a strong federation growing to bring the fallen bastards down just to break up into the 5 empires again warring for freed up space
Just imagine the mp possibilites....- 2
[If this is not wanted by the Devs or anyone else, I will immediately take it off (or someone else does). It just shows what species picture is what number, and how AWESOME they look though.]

That's the link to it. I thought it was quite large, so I didn't want to "spam" it inside this thread.

Video speeded up (x4) to keep it shorter in size, but a peek at combat against Dev Diary #25

Is it really the better damage control to have a small group of normal users exposed to the video and the rest not, than to simply release it a bit earlier than expected?

Most likely PR wanting to distribute pills in time, maybe they want to coordinate it with the rest of the marketing campaign.
MAYBE JOHAN HIMSELF KNEW IT AND DID THIS TO CREATE HYPE ABOUT THE VIDEO ITSELF.

love the squid in the lower left, some eldritch lovecraftian race

Both videos on page one is down. One is removed and one is made private. If @Tiaexz in post two is the maker, can you please fix it? It's private.
PC Gamer is the maker and Paradox PR told them to take it down, by the looks of it. I cannot upload my video capture of it or my account gets suspended.

Yeah... i got the video still open and can watch it over and over again... although it is flagged as private now....
Mai 2013 they started with the game....
any yet they didnt gave a release date.. but they said, that they are at the later stage of the development and that they are fixing bugs, tweeking and balancing the game.
They also said, that not all of the victory conditions are done yet.
