The future of 'Ost Front - will it be going Unreal 3?

[Edd]

Hey Guys,

I'll make it quick because down here in Melbourne its approaching midnight. I'm an avid fan of RO, I had never played the mod, never even heard of it untill it became available on Steam and I have to say right from the start the game, and Tripwire have been absoloutly amazing. RO is a truly great game.

Does Tripwire have any hopes for an Unreal 3 powered RO in the foreseeable future?

It would be great if you did, but I won't hold my breath - as an Unreal 3 license probably costs a fortune, and I don't think the good blokes at Tripwire have a cash reserve to rival the Knights Templar.

Anyway - Cheers Guys, keep up the outstanding work.
Ed

THey are already working on a game with the 3.0 engine

No idea what tho m8

 

[cooperr]

Didn't tripwire won the license? because of the best mod of the year thingy.. I'm expecting alot of the new engine.. alot of new features destructable envoriment etc.. I hope to see some work progress of the upcoming redorchestra..

 

[FuSiOn]

yes tripwire did win an unreal 3.0 license winning the "Make Somethign Unreal" contest with their mod no news has been said what the 3.0 project will be however

 

[xtcalec]

yeah it would be sweet if they update RO to the 3.0 engine. just imagine the destructable terrain, the Mad effects. I hope the new game coming out is still ww2 based. Anyway sorry i cant be of help.

Nah I don't think they'd just simply upgrade the game onto a new engine with snazzier graphics and physics; that's an EA move. I bet they'll go the whole way and make a fully new game, because tripwire is legit. No idea what it could be, though.

Don't Listen Tripwire,

still looking forward to RO2 !

 

[TOG | -X-]

RO2 on the Unreal 3 engine now that would be something worthwhile doing a PC Upgrade for I'll cross all my fingers and toes and wait with bated breath

Look out for Red Orchestra Anti Tank Special Edition, or ROATSE for short.

That would be Red Orchestra Anti Tank Special Edition - eXtra

 

[SchutzeSepp]

i think ROOST is RO2 not? they made ROOST after winning the contest, so that it would no longer be a UT mod. now they are really making a brand new game.

hey TW, have you started modelling my King Tiger for your next game? just kiddin

 

[Avenger]

Just as a tiger doesn't change its stripes, it seems game developers keep working on the same types of games, come hell or high water. Examples: id Software has been making the same game since 1990 and they still sell. Same thing with Epic, Dice, and most other game developers. I guess it's just easier to build something based on an older codebase, or even build the same game with a new codebase, rather than branch out and do something completely different. So, my guess is that Tripwire's next game will be a multiplayer first-person shooter with vehicles set in World War II. I wouldn't be surprised if its an Eastern Front game, either.

A one day test cricket simulator would be nice.
Get a piece of the EA Sports "its in the game" market !

A bit like Unreals Bombing Run but with LBW.

 

[Rich_Zap]

I dont think thats true, there are plenty of developers out there who make a variety of games, for instance blizzard who have made games like starcraft but also world of warcraft.

I think its good for developers to be able to make games in multiple genres and styles. It shows versatility.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

personally i hope for a totally different kind of game.

Realistic sci fi!

 

[BlackLabel]

The problem with "new" game ideas is that those games need to sell good. Said that, the biggest problem is that publishers are afrait of loosing money ( wich is completly understandable ) So, they do the same thing over and over.
And look at the selling lists. It explains all. As long as we as gamers buy it allover and over we...well then we dont deserve it any better. But good ideas ( like WoW ) will allways atract people.

 

[Reise]

WW1 would be ideal.

WW1 would be ideal.

Or boring, from what I hear about WW1.

 

[BuddyLee]

Anything would be OK with me as long as it ain't an outerspace/Lizardmen/from Uranus Halo future raygun malarkey.

What the hell is 'one day test cricket'???

It's either an ODI or a Test, but hey a proper circket game would be great, all the EA ones are just the same thing with different names, slightly flashier graphics and the same bugs that were in Cricket 99
