HOS PAX 2010 interview

[GloGi]

There's something quite disappointing I just saw in the video and I wish they could fix..
When playing a German, you see your teammates sprinting with the weapon in 1 hand but when you sprint you see in First Person that you're holding it in both hands.

It caught my eye too.

Probably wrong thread to but what the hell.

Also I noticed these couple of things also when Ramm is adjusting snipers iron sight it just aims the gun higher rather than the actual sight is adjusted.

When Ramm throws a smoke in video 2 it really looks like the soldier has two right hands while aiming where to throw.

And to me the artillery doesn't look good at all specially because of those mini "meteors" which are flying when grenade hits the ground and all the smoke and dust disappears way too fast.

Also it looks like artillery grenades hit the ground straight down like mortars when it should hit the ground a bit angled and spread the shrapnels mostly to the direction where the grenade was going. But this is probably just nitpicking.

Other than that the game looks really amazing already.

*alpha*

Let's wait until we get actual release trailers etc before being that fussy on visuals. The game's not out for at least 6 months, what do you think they're doing between now and then?

 

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

Nope, the gun's angle changes and the iron sights are adjusted. Look again.

 

[Mormegil]

I'm curious if bot paths still need to be created for each map. I'm assuming so. I noticed most custom mappers didn't bother with bot paths (not too surprising, since they were kinda crap). Hopefully the new AI will inspire mappers to bother with them.

 

[GloGi]

I looked again and so it does. I stand corrected

<derail>
Are you planning to implement any sight adjustment animations? In my opinion that would make adjusting sights more immersive and realistic.

[Bluehawk]

He mentions individual respawning in "games like Counter Strike".

 

[Panzer Meyer]

Very nice! Not much else to say, it looks amazing, better than any other FPS game out there right now, be it Modern Warfare or Bad Company type games.

Well done TWI!

 

[Dr. Maxis]

His response to the Flak 88 comment was kind of amusing. Must be in the cards for a future update.

 

[Cordite]

so I notice that in the countdown mode whenever you capture an objective you are immediately put into spectator mode and then spawn in a new area a few seconds later, is that how it's going to be in the final game?

 

[Nimsky]

No matter if it's old info, I can't get enough of those GamesCom / PAX videos. The game is shaping up really well and TWI's game design philosophy is still excellent.

I like these videos, the guy plays RO and seems genuinely interested and enthusiastic. He even played the mod, and is a gun nut :O Is he a member of this forum?

 

[fiftyone]

That is the politest way of saying...
"I have no knowledge of that information, Sir"

 

[Reise]

I'm really hoping static AT guns are included eventually.

when adjusting the sights on a mosin the rear ladder climbs up quite quickly on a 91/30. The look you see ingame is the end effect just minus the animation of the ladder being moved..
( i wonder if the ladder follows the real numbering up to around 2,000 )

 

[hockeywarrior]

I REALLY want to see some HD gameplay footage on that Fallen Fighters map. Seriously looks epic as hell.

EDIT
and ...

His response to the Flak 88 comment was kind of amusing. Must be in the cards for a future update.

I didn't interpret his reaction at all the way you did. I saw it as more of a "What the hell are you talking about? Why would we put in AA guns (let alone flak 88's) just to shoot down recon planes?"

 

[husbert]

i dont think we need a 88 for these

Ramm, to adjust the iron sights, we'll have to use the mouse wheel?. In that case, how can we rotate the weapon inventory?

:IS2:

:IS2:

my guess would be that if it does use the mouse wheel it will just mean you cant use it to change guns in iron sights, which is better imo...

To be honest, it just sounded like he was just humouring the camera man, because he didn't want to outright say "no".

:IS2:

I'm sure it will be bindable, like everything else.

 

[Moyako]

Of course it'll be bindable. I would like to know how they arranged the default system

 

[The Colonizer]

When Ramm throws a smoke in video 2 it really looks like the soldier has two right hands while aiming where to throw.

Yeah, that hand made me scary The way the left hand is modeled in ostfront right now is rather very natural, why change that?

>_>

You seriously think they're just gonna leave it like that?

Not really, especially after pointing it out as a feature, I really doubt they could let it go like that with mismatching animations in first/third person views
