Tutorial movies

[Apos]

Hi,

TWI, to do not replay casual players rejection of RO:O do not simplify gameplay of Red Orchestra. Just make good video tutorials as promo videos and ingame tutorials. Advanced HUD and reduced recoil from relaxed realism doesnt help casual players.

Just look what EA is doing. Bad Company 2 is easy and console game but many many of gamers still dont know what to do with tanks, c4s, objectives etc etc

Check this out

YouTube - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 'How not to be a Noob' HQ

YouTube - Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Demo tutorial - Xbox360/PS3

I believe if you start publishing that kind of videos 1-2 months before game will be released it will help you find customers in casual gamers area.
You can kill two birds with one stone. As you said before, many customers leave RO:O cos it looks too hard for them. You avoid that mistake making that kind of movies.

this looks like a pretty good idea!

If the devs dont have enough time to make some I am sure some of the beta testers will be up for the job...

I want to be a sniper! Well well everybody want to be him ... I never see free sniper role ... It is always selected first.

Totally offtopic but true. Will make a thread about that (with a solution) soon.

Im sure there will be a dev tutorial or at least a fan made one.

For now can we have more media? Even a tiny screenie would do me

They made tutorials for OST but not that publicized. It may be best that they step it up for the new tutorials, if there are any.

tutorials would be a great feature. imagine if more people actually watched the ptrd training videos on YouTube......we would have less "what?! bounce? this thing sucks" and less "ZOMG ptrd insta killed my tank?! haxor!!!"

tutorials that are implimented in game, or simply just more accessible to players will really help educate players better.

i primarily would like interactive tutorials but videos would be nice as well.

bswearer and Zetsumei I agree with you both. Im just telling what TWI can do before release to promote HoS and make game easier for newcomers.

Those all video tutorials for simply fps games like BC2 or MW2 are used mainly as commercial thing (and for console players who doesnt know what to do with RPG or tank)

Ingame interactive tutorial might be a part of leveling up thini (if is predicted for HoS) or other cool thing for casuals. I kinda like how it was done in AA3. If you pass tutorial X you get weapon X to use and cool badge. I hated commander noobs whos choose that role only for free PPsH and ask "hey for what is that grenade? Why it isnt killing enemy!? That game sux!"

I agree. Would be better to teach the people to learn how to play the game rather than dumbing it down/dividing the community.

Maybe include the tutorials in game? I think they didn't originally because it takes up extra hard drive space?

Good idea!

New BC2 tutorial video which can be an example used on HoS purpose showing new things in RO such like advanced tank combat , graphic stuff, etc

YouTube - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC Walkthough Trailer

BTW: that game is so lame, he needs sometimes more than 20 bullets to kill enemy

I was thinking about the relaxed realism mode, it may not be too much of a bad idea, as it will help bring new players to the game and keep them long enough to convert them, and they will soon realize that they should be playing hardcore, then they will switch once they are ready, I'm sure. And if not they are pussies and not worthy of my bullets

Thats good example. For RO:HoS it could look like this: what to do as rifle, smg, mg player. Specific role of sniper, commander. How works HE, APC, HEAT etc shells.
