Would you pay for replay in DLC?

[Dexter]

Something tells me that adding replay to this completed title would require quite a bit of time and effort. I don't think it would be a simple case of dropping it on in an update, but perhaps would require quite a bit of coding and implementation.
If this is the case, would you be happy to pay for a specific replay feature on DLC rather than wait for such a feature in a future IL-2 title/sequel?

Probably the most pressing thing for any BOP DLC is that currently in on-line MP the allied fighters have cockpit views and the axis fighters do not. This unbalances on-line MP a bit. These axis cockpit views therefore seem more of a "must have" feature.

"Replay" is icing on the cake, more of a "nice to have" feature one might say.

If community driven competative online becomes popular, yes indeed I would. I'd like to be able to analyse my dogfights and see just what I did wrong.

sod replay i just want to be able to stay in a lobby after a match has ended instead of having to quit and rejoin

[AVCG Stone]

ok been dicussing the replay and the lobby thing for a wile now and its a no get the hint it will require alot of work to the game and the servers and 1c dont run the server/s that hols data so you can play and host games

more pessing things are cocpits and or even re-vamps of modes in game wich are easier to do as dlc ;)

drop the we want lobby we want replay it wont happen not this time next game yer they will more likly happen but like over-g replay will be for co-op/single missions only coz it would cause way to much lag otherwise and make the game unplayable for those that have the pc version havent u noticed the change in latency when your recording online matches?

..drop the we want lobby we want replay it wont happen not this time...

With respect, you don't speak for the whole community. Telling us to be quiet about things we'd like to see in this version or future versions is counter productive. You may as well tell everyone in the 'Suggestions' thread to keep their ideas to themselves. If one feature is constantly requested then that gives developers a fair idea of what the buying public wants. ;)

...for those that have the pc version havent u noticed the change in latency when your recording online matches?

Speaking for myself, no.

more pessing things are cocpits and or even re-vamps of modes in game wich are easier to do as dlc

Developers had publishing deadlines which meant they couldn't get all details completed in time. Cockpits will be coming in DLC (more likely the update?) for certain.
This thread is about replay.

[King Jareth]

Where has anyone said replay OR cockpits?
I'm pretty sure this was a "would you guys like this feature?" question and in no way sugests its an either/or choice. Its all hypothetical and at best might influence what makes it into a sequal...are you saying you dont want a replay feature at all Stone?

[ontheborderland]

I'd LOVE a replay feature. This game, and these planes, are so beautiful I'd love to be able to capture it. I'd have no problem paying for it.

[AVCG Stone]

um acctually ive done a bit of game design before have you and im not talking mods im talking just a basic mission editor wich is very much like the replay recorder in a game that how i know if you read anton has said its final no recorder for bop so stop jumping up and down like a spoilt children ill say thios tho id love to have it just know its not possible :)

[mattd27]

hmmm.. how about a maybe option on the poll? It depends how competent the replay feature is, and how much it would cost. I can think of some great video ideas though.

[Lexandro]

Im still waiting to find out what they are actualy planning to add in the DLC thats supposed to be scheduled for October-ish. I have points on my account for LIVE that Ive been keeping for a good DLC pack. I was seriously considering getting the new Mass Effect one, but when I got the IL2 demo I knew I had to see what was coming for it before I chose.

[Dexter]

um acctually ive done a bit of game design before

Of course you have.

...so stop jumping up and down like a spoilt children...

I see only one person in this thread doing that.
Look, people are happy to participate in this poll (see the votes), and have given intelligent, civilised replies.

Most have anyway :rolleyes:

I actually AM doing game design at the moment ( or rather, studying for it at the Utrecht school of art and technology) and I can tell you with certainty that replay would require quite a bit of changes to the engine, and would mean a extreme amount of work to the developers... sorry to pop your bubble, but it just isn't going to happen, the developers barely have the time to research and build cockpits for the german aircraft ( I fly in virtual cockpit most of the time anyway, so I don't miss them), so they surely don't have the time to do a engine overhaul... I bet they are now working on concepts for a sequal, since most developers start on their next game as soon as their previous one has gone gold...

dont take the poll and shut up

Congratulations. I wish you every success.
Did I say it would be easy? Did you read my original post?
I said it could 'require quite a bit of time and effort' and 'require quite a bit of coding and implementation'.
Those two points escape you? You see, if that is the case (I kinda said it might be) then there is option 3 of the poll.

What is it with some people trying to derail this thread? Take part in the poll or don't. Your choice.

sorry to pop your bubble...

I'm crushed.

...I bet they are now working on concepts for a sequal, since most developers start on their next game as soon as their previous one has gone gold...

Option 3.

Thanks dazz. Some people don't get it. Most do ;)
