20 days where are the videos?

[blampars]

I don't understand why there's not much videos yet. Even work in progress/beta videos would be better than nothing or the 3rd person videos we've seen. Show me something with fraps!

I think it would do a lot to boost the pre-order amount for the game. Hell, the two leaked vids that hit the net a few weeks ago hyped me up enough to pre-order from ubi. something i never thought that i would do. I was originally going to wait for the steam release. I'm sure some official beta gameplay videos would do wonders for CoD's presales.

I honestly think it has to do with the leak that happened a while ago. I don't necessarily think it's a form of punishment, but was rather just discouraging to Oleg and team. I'm sure most of us have seen the leaked video, which takes all the excitement out of showing us videos for Oleg. I can only imagine how frustrated he was when that happened.

So what your saying is because of the leak they are going to punish themselves by not posting any 'in game' video that would really help sell the game. The leaked video has been the best bit of marketing to date, they should give the guy a job.

There's only one real reason to post videos and that is to advertise and sell the game.
People who know nothing of this sim will want to see something,blimey the amount of adverts on TV showing games [some ingame footage ,some not ] Advertising these types of product are increasing.
People will self seed the product via web hosting sites ,facebook,you tube etc so advertising will be painless for them so why are they holding back.
Tree was correct,the leaked video was the best hype on here for along time,i don't agree with the way it was done it should have been done officially and had that happened the leak wouldn't have been so interesting.
Ironically by keeping things so hidden they opened themselves up.
Here's hoping for something tomorrow in the update.

That leaked video.... damn i missed it, where can i find it??

I liked what I saw in the "leaked" video's and the screenshots have been impressive. Nothing else can really persuade me short of playing the damn game. Oleg's keeping it old school, the glorious days when screenshots is all you had to pre-judge a game....in magazines you had to buy, before the internet could do high rez images.

We've waited 5 years...what's 20 days.

I love IL2 and I'll love COD but this really is the crappiest attempt at marketing I've ever seen. Half the folks out there can't buy the collectors edition and those that could seem to have had their orders cancelled. People are starting to discuss where to source the map and manual contained in the product themselves. Many people are confusing the product with a ground based shoot em up. Others think it's just an add on for IL2. Some of the articles I've read don't even mention the ground breaking new features and the fact that it's a new product from the ground up. Unbelievable.

I'm only frustrated by what I see because I care about this product and want to see 1C succeed.

Well we cant just blame Ubisoft, there is a forum here for Oleg to show us some video, but so far he has chosen not to use it, he also promised SimHQ an interview but 3 weeks from release we have had nothing.
