landscape of official storm of war trailer

[Raggz]

As developing progress and new things are added like physics and other things, stuff has to be balanced. Add some and remove some. It's the way games are built. We just can't have it all and everyone want something different. It's been said a hundred times that the engine is built for the future. In i a few years we might have it all and be able to run it with good FPS. As of now there's no point bringing up all these things as we probably won't be able to have it playable with reasonable FPS with all the goodies.
I rather have great plane physics and models than trees blowing in the wind or water splashing on the beaches. The colors is another matter which is a matter of taste, more or less.

I'm not bashing heads here. It's just how it's done.

The bolded part make me gives me a bone chill.

Using "new" technlogies like WPF and WCF doesn't mean the game is made for the future: Multithreading, PhysX, DX11 and 64bit are. Modular applications (with SDK) are the future, where you add planes, tanks, ships and buildings to a WORKING physic/graphic/sound engine.
Not adding a incomplete physic/graphic/sound engine to a pair of well made planes.

We can only wait, but this was not designed as a game for the future.. sure it wasn't at the Euro release.

The leading video example most certainly did not imply that purchasers of this sim should expect to wait years to see in game examples of what was demonstrated in the video!!

I personally appreciate seeing this video again because it reminds me of why I was so excited about this (then pending) release and why I had such high expectations. I'm curious now, are you a member of the 1C development team? or have you at least had some experience in the process of programming and game development? You certainly imply authority and understanding of the process in your last reply.

Unless you are a member of the development team or are close to them your words are simply opinion at best, as are the rest in this forum, good, bad or indifferent!

Personally I believe this is one of the best threads in recent weeks that actually brings the point home for a lot of fans. Where the hell did all this promise go???

Jesus, I and many others parted with our hard earned coin based on this level of promise, when the bloody hell am I going to get what I paid for!!

Yep, I get it... apparently it's a year or so from now.

I support everyone in this forum bringing up their gripes over and over again, because it is what the developers need until they come back with a suitable solution for everyone that has purchased this.

+1, nicely worded buddy and just as I feel.

We may well be able to run it in the future, but it already looks outdated 'the landscape that is'. The idea that this game was built for 2013 or whatever Luthier said was just rhetoric, if they ever do apply DX11 to this game which i think again is never going to happen then we might start seeing something that is on a parallel to what can be done with modern day software coding and hardware.

Because it had too many limitations, rivers were all wide, vertical cliffs were not possible, definition was low, etc etc.

At some point you have to understand that the IL2 engine is old and cannot continue to be upgraded efficiently, thus they built a new one.

You should be able to mod the il2 engine to look like that, but I suspect you'll come to the same conclusions as Oleg's team did, that it was time to start over with the ability to look forward again, it's probably not coincidence that RoF dropped the IL2 engine.

Yes but something, somewhere went horribly wrong. The existence of Spitgirl is evidence of this.

In the campaign department yes, personally I think CoD's landscape looks great, it just needs some tweaks so that it gels together better.

???I see a complete coastline with cliffs,complete villages packed with houses,very detailed fields bordered with treelines...
