And now... its video trailer time!

ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC!! This video makes me even more wanting the game

but i have 1 point. almost on the last part 2 germans are finding cover because the got shot at them. but you could see the bullits as a green laserbeam? i dont find that realistic because you cant see bullits.

This seems to be a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with it: The russian armies used 'tracers' in their ammo, and they lit up green due to the materials used for these tracers, in order to be able to see which side the MG fire was coming from. So, this is a realistic feature

Those are MG tracers.


EDIT: Sasy was first

I just hope all this new graphical goodness does not come with too step an increase in system requirements over the mod. OTOH, perhabs they managed to actually reduce overhead a bit since they can work with the engine.

Due to optimizations, RO:O runs just as good with more on screen, or runs better. Also, network performance has been optimized server side.
If you want bloom however, you'll need a pixelshader 2.0 savvy card. It'll cost you a bit of rendering performance naturally.

j/k
OMG you spotted the Obi Wan Kenobi easteregg

those are tracer rounds, MG's used (and still do) them

Thanks for the reply. I got a 6600, so it should do fine with 2.0. I still find that pixel-shading costs a lot of performance in other games, so if everthing else besides bloom is just "standard" DX8.1 functionality, then that's even better.

BTW, just realized KrasnyOktyabr is still in too. The wheat fields look like a remade version of Ponyri.

It's nice to see that you guys kept some of the old favorites and improved them instead of making everthing new.

Part of the reason the tracers look like "beams" is simply because of frame-rates. The video runs at 24 fps - in-game at 50+ fps, you don't see them as "beams". This is also why tracers look wierd on CNN and so on...

Actually tracers can look very strange in reality too. When i was in the navy, we used a Bofors L-70 40mm autocannon (basically the same gun as in wwii) (very cool sound: boomboomboomboomboom -------- boomboomboomboomboom --------- boomboomboomboomboom)

Just when the tracers went off, they very much looked like a ray, a bit into the flight they would look more like bullets.

The trailer was directed by Zerisus and Myself with input from most of the dev team, and you can thank Xancerman for the sound.

Well you did an awesome Job of directing it, and the Sounds are really really good. May we have hope that we may see additional Vids after the Release ?

[[TW]schneidzekk]

Thank you academy *sniff*

 

[Varsity]

Superb stuff. Love the vehicles in particular.

 

[Xendance]

I love that part where the arty round hits that guy and he and his mate (?) vaporizes

 

[CamperJoe]

Nice!, but no release date means no care.

 

[Crusher]

It's funny because my graphics card turned down on me so I can't play the game
BTW, what's the flash thingy which you can see at 1 minute 21 seconds?

 

[Mormegil]

Thank you academy *sniff*

Don't forget to thank all the "little people"

Interesting..

I am new to RO, but a long time WWII and FPS fan so I had to check this out. I concur with most of the compliments about this vid mentioned. Gore was appreciated to bring the stakes home a bit more. But the animation and detail of the first person tanking was the stand out for me. At last one seems to get a feel for being IN a tank. Buttoned up they are like iron coffins : visibility greatly restricted. However I am not wetting my pants in anticipation just yet. There are a few things which concern me.. - I saw NO bullet marks/decals on walls where they were hit by small arms fire. I hope this is IN at release. - The player models seemed poor by today's standards - low texture detail, low poly, no bump mapping etc. Germans looked almost identical to original MOHAA IMO. - Recoil animation looked poor from third person perspective. All recoil seems absorbed in the arms, which bounce like little jachammers (with auto weapons). But zero (?) kick to upper and rest of the body, so the guys look too much like puppets. What say you? After buying DOD:S recently, I don't think I shall be rushing out to get RO without a demo (b/c DOD:S was a letdown for me).
