And lovely tracers in the clip starting at 10:23, really mind-blowing graphics there.

That was in a BoB update a while ago.

Yup, that is fascinating footage, almost looks too good to be true.

Footage near the end came from here, at a guess the interviewer was asking Oleg and Luthier's opinions and thoughts on WoP and the video below.

Actually, I think that is based on this original CGI (?). Maybe this is the footage shown.

Reminds me of a "Discovery" or "National Geographic Channel" show, where they did a war-vehicles head-to-head and that would have been the Spit vs. 109 part.

If the interview was purely about SoW, it was bad that they used footage from different sources.

Nope, it's from the one I linked, watch it again. Either way it's not from Oleg's BoB.

One of the original things Oleg talked about many years ago was using the SOW engine for making CGI for film/television. 'Maybe' the interview was showing what it is capiable of in this mode. It may have nothing to do with the game version of the engine or the engine at all.

Without being able to speak Russian we should not jump to conclusions about anything seen in the interview.

'IF' the graphics are half as good as whats shown in the video's when SOW is released I'll be taking my long service leave, booking my family in for a months holiday in Bali and not tell them that I won't be comming till I get them through the gates at the airport!


Cheers!

Maybe someone who understands russian language can translate it.

2:37-4:55

in that interview with luthier i think they do flash an expected release date on the screen a few times ("something russian" 2011), like they do for the other games being previewed in the same tv show clip

anybody here read russian ? its a single word that precedes 2011, not a "1e quarter" type english statment that would be 2 words in english

since it seems clear we dont get a november/december release now (bit sad after all the hype at the russian game expo presentation), and its to late for any kind of pre xmass marketing drive, i'd say that means late feb 2011 by the earliest

That "something russian" is just "release"...no season, no month
