PCGAMER RO2 screenshots. New? Hmm.

[echutter]

This was rather odd. I saw this post on PCGAMER and it says he posted it on the 21, which is today. I guess this is for people that havn't really been following RO2, these aren't new.

But anyway, http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/21/r...muzzle-flash-and-stalingrad-also-stray-limbs/

Cool find, letting every else who doesn't follow us on a regular basis know we are still standing strong

no. someone close this thread. thanks

 

[Merin Redplate]

Lovin' the exposure.

I have a subtle feeling that the PC Gamer people are totally aware that these are old screenshots ... they are just trying to create more exposure for RO2 which is great. Hopefully TWI will give them something legitimately new to show soon

I do realize this. Only reason I thought this was odd is because I thought that they already posted these screenshots on their website.

Beta can't come soon enough

Thanks for posting, haven't seen those. Really liking the facial expressions, the one on the tank crewman looks amazing.

Turns out that the distributor in the UK droppped a bollock, sending some of that stuff over to PC Gamer UK in Bath as "new". I have since removed their other bollock

But we still thanked PCG for the xposure!

Theyre from the teaser trailer: YouTube - ROHOS "No Surrender" Teaser

They also all are from the media section of the HOS website.

Is that trailer pre-rendered or not, I can't tell. On one hand, the visuals look on par with what we've seen from the gameplay, on the other hand the animations (particularly the sniper-behind-cover animations around 1 minute in) look too good to be from in-game.

I'll bet you it's in-engine, and not in-game.

Or in other words, it's all done in the editor, and robably because when this teaser was made, half the stuff you see in there wasen't finished yet.


It's different from "pre-rendered" though, because an in-engine video does show you the real graphics of the game, all the models and effects that are used are the same as the ones used in real time by the game, though a lot of the animation work might not be.

Pre-rendering is usually used to make cutscenes (as in video ones, not the "we're taking control of the camera to show you something" ones), you know how cutscenes can have a 100 times better graphics than the game? That's pre-rendered, that's when they make models and textures that are a ton better than the ones used in the game, and has a render-farm process them into a video.

Sadly, we sometimes do see developers try to pass of pre-rendered work as if it where the game in their marketing, i know EA has certainly pulled that stunt a fair few times for their TV commercials.

it's pretty obvious that it's in game. you can set characters to use certain animations. it might even be from the single player campaign.

in-engine means something else.

Yeah, thanks, I know what pre-rendering is, I just wasn't sure what I was looking at in this case. Normally a trailer is either pure gameplay footage or properly pre-rendered, not something in between.

TWI stated the "No Surrender" trailer was all in-game rendering. I'm sure with settings to max on a kick-*** system.

Another give away (you'll see this on a lot of game engines), the teeth are lit way too brightly for being inside the mouth (you notice these things if you're a photographer).

This is a sign It's definitely getting to the point of new footage needed.
