Holy **** some of your logic is pretty stupid. No offense (not personally attacking you it just is that's all
)
First off here's a comparison of a pre-release CGI trailer for GRID:
And now a post-release in-game trailer:
Looks pretty damn close right?
Sure, but the OFP2 one is not, its a game you will be playing allmost entirely from the first person, and yet there's only about 7 seconds worth of first person view in it, we get to see though the scope of the M14 (and i hope they wont make scopes like that, but will make them RO style, surely their engine can handle that?), and a soldier who gets shot and falls to the ground.. at no point do we see any actual combat from the perspective the game will be played from, we just see a cinematic cutscene of a battle, nothing that tells us "this is what its going to be like when you play it, this is what you should see".
Atleast that GRID CGI did manage to pull off a few seconds where we saw the models from behind the wheel, where alot of us would play it from, it did actually manage to show us something relavent.
As for your logic about it looking hollywoodish... first off, it's a ****ing trailer, it's supposed to get your blood boiling that's it. It's not gonna show soldiers loading on to a truck for 5 minutes and travelling to the battlefield. That's boring. It's a TRAILER. It's going to show explosions and lots of them.
BS, this is OFP, it has never been a game for curling children who can't go 5 seconds without a huge explosion before falling asleep, its supposed to be a military sim, and its fans would definately connect better to something more realistic, its not like OFP was a boring game, and you need only spend 15 minutes browsing Youtube to see how you can make a cool but realistic vid from OFP's gameplay, that also actually shows off its gameplay.
There's no need for Hollywood cliche's like men running from a building seconds before its leveled with the ground, it's just unimaginative and cheap.
Also, don't use weak strawmen like "5 minutes in a truck", it just makes you look desperate..
Second I don't really understand the logic of your analysis anyways (as pointless as it is given that every single thing the devs have actually SAID points to a super realistic shooter). There's some spec ops running around in a town, a sniper shoots somebody covering them, tries to get them to get out before the town gets blasted, and boom. Just because it used cinematic techniques to show the explosion doesn't make it "un-tactical"
Then we see a bunch of tanks coming in and some LONG RANGE FIRING (holy **** long range? as in OFP-like??) from infantry and IFVs fighting back and some troops landing in helos.
If anything it points to OFP2 carrying the mantle of open-ended combined arms forward.
But really, trying to analyze a trailer to the degree some of you are is pointless.
Literally every single word out of the devs mouths points to a worthy successor, which ArmA certainly wasn't.
So stop complaining.
No, you woulden't understand "my analysis", because i haven't made one! do you have some horrible brain disease that causes you to read every authours name as "Grobut"?
I have comented on only 2 things:
1. There's nothing in that trailer that looks ingame, its all recorded from an outside perspective, like an invisible cameraman with a Jetpack flying around, at no point do we see anything that even remotely passes for what the ingame experiance will end up beeing, its all external cameraman stuff, save for the few seconds of M14 scope, Which was just a 2D scope, as seen in games since the 90's.
2. It's very cliche, and very unimaginative, its just.. watch any recent war film and copy/paste, OFP has never played like that, and i hope this one wont either.
