What with the upcoming release of "Armed Assault II" and "Operation Flash Point II" for realism and graphics and CoD5 apparently going back to it's WWII heritage (I've just seen promo's on YouTube) IMO Tripwire is really going to have to push the envelope now.
RO the mod , at it's inception , was a unique game. Not only combined arms but iron sights too. Everyone else was still using the cross hairs in centre screen.
It evolved into what we have today.. a great game based on realism but now , unfortunately dated.
So many games since then and yet to be released now focus on these aspects so the market is becoming virtually flooded with "realism" based games.RO is no longer unique in that aspect.
The AI in Armed Assault II is purported to take advantage of the second core in a dual CPU and is supposed to be so human like it will be hard to tell the difference. This aspect effects SP mode primarily but also offers up the opportunity for huge battles by being a squad leader with AI under your control. (In all honesty , is that hype or reality??).
Anyway , with the huge advances in graphics and gameplay since RO:O was released , IMO the developers are gong to have to come up with not only something unique but graphically outstanding (unfortunately for the majority graphics seem to sell rather than game play).
Another option (remember quit a few are still playing the old DoD and CS) is to come up with some new content and features for what we already have and rely on game play to sell and retain the existing RO players rather than sinking bundles of cash and effort into such a risky venture as a new video game.
Maybe roll the existing RO over into the new engine for better graphics,up the AI to attract the SP market (this market is huge as not everyone is enamored with online game play as can be attested to by looking at game sales for consoles etc.) and re-release it. Just a thought.
Best of luck anyway and I and many others anxiously await some kind of leak as to what's in store.
