[Baron]

This is how is SHOULD be, no matter how many times u come to this forum in a day there is allways somethimg new about SoW. Info on game, screenshots....movies. "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" (joking, i know its sometime of before that happens)


Love the new screenshots btw.


P.S The two pics showing the oildrums and truck, can somone confirm its not just somone on the net altering colors in PS or something.

Have you been following the up-date's Oleg has been posting, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...2040 ...unless someone is impersonating Oleg (and very well) I think we can safely assume that Oleg is posting the "real thing"...

[Baron]

Sry, confused the forums, i was talking about theese: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5211050008/p/1 (close to the bottom of the page.)


Quite differant colors i would say. ( grab0105 and grab0112 in Olegs update)


Apparently from a russian site.



Just wondering, not trying to start a conspirecy thread


Gut feeling tells me they are fake, the colors i mean. On the other hand, the russians get to see things before we do

They've been in Photoshop so it certainly looks like they're just edited versions, but it does give a good comparison of what is possible with just hue, saturation and colour settings, let alone all the light parameters and other graphics engine tweaks available to Oleg and co.

Yes it does and i think getting it as close to "right" as possible from the start is very important compared to IL2 as we wont be able (as i understand it) to change those settings on the screen ourselfes the same way we can in IL2, due to dynamic lighting and so on, without messing somethingelse up (making it look wrong)

Not hard to imagine how much work it really is.

If you'll notice, it's not an in-game screenshot, but a cropped screenshot of a desktop with BoB running in a window. That's why it went through Photoshop, because the person who took the screenshot didn't exactly want you to read the game code in the other window. The shot wasn't modified in any other way. You're seeing WIP terrain as it progressed since last Friday. Changed lighting, updated shaders, modified terrain textures, different HDR presets, etc.

That's not final either, there's still a lot more of work to be done. But I'm glad you guys like the progress.

I'd like to add, that all the screenshots we saw look like they were made via windows-screenshot (CTRL-PRINT). You can sometimes see parts of the open window.

It's a bit naive to think the first thing they implemented was an ingame-screenshot-function that catches HDR-effects as well, just to give us some perfectly "unedited" screenshots.

I would add here.

I never post screenshots in dev updates with something corrected or painted over the image. NEVER. they can be cropped in editor like that Bf110, but not edited in any way.

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for all your explanations about SOW and the development of the game. For what you've said about the terrain and the rest of the details I think I feel ok myself... a bit more relax even though I'd love to go out NOW and buy SOW lol... but it's ok. You said the that terrain will match the spitfire's cockpit graphic wise, so I speak for myself and maybe for a few more others in this forum, that's garranty enough to expect top notch quality in SOW

Have a great day!

Sorry I think we're talking about differrent shots here, we weren't talking about the shots with the Stuka, which have me drooling at the mouth btw, it was these two here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/daniel.clarke17/SOW02.jpg

which apart from the colours are identical to two shots posted by Oleg last Friday but appear to have been edited.
