RO2 in real danger with all next future patches?

[Razvanss]

A few days ago all of my friends (RO fans) were talking about some new ww2 first person shooter,first i was thinkying is all about some another ww2 junk on the market,but looking on the videos and fotos i'm in a real doubt.What do you thynk guys?I think this game is more superior than Iron Front Liberation 1944!!!Heroes & Generals - Alpha Videolog 2 - YouTube!

with all next future patches what?

yes another ww2 realism game is gonna be released.

probably not gonna be the same gameplay.

Also what does it matter they already got our money

 

[zeep]

That game looks very good, technically too!

 

[vonschnitzel]

The game was already posted by someone

However you may wish to change the topic or subject as they do not match

You will also find alot of the RO2 community over there like myself
and those that have lost faith in Tripwire and RO2

 

[LHeureux]

Good, I hope people switch from RO2 to this, this look way better. I have no problem with the fact that RO2 is in danger, might be a good thing too.

 

[Raneman]

Hitscan weapons... yawn.

 

[luciferintears]

game looks fun i hope i get into the testing.

but there is no way i will preorder it, not after the sheer disappointment i felt after preordering RO2. Never again!

I'm still trying to figure out why the f*** i bought this game on release if i wont be able to play a decent tactical shooter for another few months until the mods come out. I should have saved my money and just bought it next summer.

why? WHY!? Why was i so stupid!

I never preorder, but i made an exception once and got burned...

From what I understand (and see in the videos) realism is not a feature. Therefore if you don't like RO2 you probably won't like this game.

If it is moddable there might be some potential, otherwise it looks like another generic WWII shooter with a RTS element thrown in.

SERIOUSLY? This is the THIRD thread about this game

It's not the same thing. RO2 was supposed to be realistic, but we faced some arcade stuff with unlocks and all. We know what to expect with Heroes and Generals and the arcade side of it looks ok. Also the tanks look way cooler than the only 2 aviable of RO2

Also the RTS side of it will be cool and look simple, not like WW2 Online...

This is portion I took from an email sent to me by one of the developers. So no, this isn't going to kill RO2 or provide a more realistic, impressive experience.

Our goal is not to create a simulation game. We wish to create a somewhat arcadey shooter with realistic elements such as a realistic ballistics system, a fairly realistic vehicle handling system, etc. We won't go all out CoD, and we won't go all out WWII Online. I guess that we're somewhere in between. But what we do have is the Strategic Resource Management game on top of the shooter.

Basically these guys are taking the same game design choice as OFP D R/RR and RO2. We all know how making a game for COD and sim/realism gamers turns out - a game that neither group likes.

World of Tanks for realistic features and non-realitic ones and it's played alot. About 1 million + in Russia.

Hmmm...after watching all the videos and analizing the oficial site and forums...I think i'm in love,the in game foto and video makes me feel like the old days in Darkest Hour,now i'm waiting for an alpha key

This. I already wish more realistic features were in RO2, so why would I want to back track to something even less?

 

[Oldih]

Even if H&G would be the ultra

Heroes & Generals, ironfront liberation 1944, ARMA 3.. the future looks bright (for once lol) in the tactical shooter genre!

Well, it depends. RO OST wasn't really that realistic either compared to arma for instance, but the game catered it's own audience. Then, it was not like dr/rr either. But if they're going to try to appeal to both the mainstream and the tactical players they will most likely fail. Big time. Whatsoever, both ironfront and this game will probably compete with RO2.

Wouldn't put ArmA/Iron Front under tactical shooter genre, those games are simulations imo. Tactical shooters for me = Swat, Raven Shield, Ghost Recons(yes, GRAW/2 too), RO

*edit* just watched the alphalogs - wow this is actually looking great! Could be exactly my type of game, kind a like a modern BF1942 or BF3/RnL hybrid. Only thing that's still looking weird is the weapons taking too much of the screen, it looks like your point of view would be from the soldiers chest.

Yeah, that's true, but what I meant is that I believe that if the arma community has to choose between those games and RO2.. I think RO2 will be left behind unless it's improved in terms of realism. Because I think most people bought ro2 because they expected it to feel and play like ro ost.

EDIT:

JESPER KYD! It's the dude who have done the soundtrack to all hitman games and the one who were replaced in hitman 3. Since I wont buy hitman 3 due to no jesper, and no bateson, I will probably save my money for this game.

AFAIK this game will be F2P MMO. So... no, thanks. Well, maybe I'm gonna try beta until developers figure out ultimate method to trade gameplay for cash

 

[Colt .45 killer]

The mmo functionality perhaps. But considering that most of the aggravated people who are still around want *MOAR* realism, this is about as much of a threat to RO 2 as COD is to ARMA 3.

Or in terms of this forum, this game is the small bug that gets squished under :IS2:'s tracks.
