trackir and heroes of stalingrad

[Bûrz-hluth]

hello

firstly, i used a search and it turned up no real dedicated threads to do with track ir implementation into RO:HoS so i hope this is fresh..

anyway, i just came across this (below) and it seems tripwire are thinking about implementation of trackir into the new game

http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=38833

so what do you guys think? personally, i think it would be fantasic, cant really say more...

if you dont know what trackir is then theres plenty of youtube videos explaining it better than i have time to.

heres one of them -

YouTube - TrackIR5 & ArmA2 Premiere (TrackIR 5)


not my video btw

but anyway, imagine this is the new RO

Good find. Only 3 views.. you were right on top of that


err, what do I think about it? It's one more expensive thing I'll have to buy, but it's really freakin' cool. Very cool.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

If they implement Track-ir i would finally have a good reason to buy it
I always thought it was too expensive for just one game (in my case i wanted to use it for ArmA 2, from the example vid) but if HoS will implement Track-ir i would definitely buy it because it has more varied use that way.
Go TWI!

The only thing is, it'd be difficult to have without an independent approach on look versus aim. From what we've seen so far, while freeaim exists, there isn't a separate entity for looking around.

I always think that TIR should just use a key bind. . i.e. your head tilts left = pressing Q . . this would make it usable in ALL games . .




very expensive kit. id rather just get logitechs latest keyboard at the HoS time . ..

Free look would have to be implemented, which I think would be great. I'd love to be able to look around without shifting my weapon and whole body, making me a more obvious target.

Unfortunately for me, my old Track IR set from 5 years ago isn't supported on Vista, and I don't think I'll plunk down hundreds of dollars for the new one. Key to allow either mouselook or TIR would be great.

wow great find! it would be awesome to have it supported.....hell expensive but so worth it! future of gaming right there. one day the technology will be there so it would be cheaply excessible to all gamers

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Nice find

Oh. My. God.

as much as i love having Track IR support, I would not use it in HoS. Because having Track IR and freeaim at the same time isnt that easy to control, atleast in the infantry part of the game, in vehicles i'd use it for sure.

 

[Zetsumei]

it would be a nice edition to have especialy when aiming in zoom mode.

Well, I don't think it'll be implemented if it wouldn't work properly.

Well, I just purchased a track IR5 for dawn of flight & BOB II and was on their forums and saw Ramm had reg recently, might be encouraging news for support.

Have you used it in a flight sim before? As long as your IS sights remain aligned, it should be easy. I had no problem (after a few minutes) lining up targets on my combining glass pip while using TIR. The added situational awareness and ability to track your target while flying was invaluable.

In ROHOS, it would be great to be able to be jogging, and quickly glance at your flanks while continuing to move in the direction you want to go. And of course being able to look around without moving when you're prone would be great.

 

[Zetsumei]

main thing for me would be the possibility of freeaim as well with a keyboard key.

But i would definitely want to be able to somewhat zoom whenever i say move my head forward when looking to the right.

Aka more of a seperation between head movement and abilities and the state of a gun.

I think it would be extremely cool if the front and rear sights werent locked to each other on the guns if you have Track IR. This way you will have to keep your head and arms (mouse) in conjunction with each other while in IS or you may unalign the sights. That would surely make the game more challenging and realistic. No more perfect snap-ironsights laser beam shots. Actual aiming skill would reign supreme!

What a nice expensive device. Great properties.

I would love that although it would probably put people with Track IR at a disadvantage unless they have some advantages over usual players

Thinking of that. I never even bothered registering on that forum.
My TrackIR 3 has died years ago though. But this might finally make me consider buying one of those TrackIR 5's.
