wings of prey bob homemade demo terrain

The filming is good but why is everything pea green,what happened to blue and red? The colour or lack of it is awful-disgusting.

The Hurricane doing a flat turn looked very unusual. Hope SOW is more based around flight model


Cheers!

In all fairness, the colour balance/temperature can be adjusted on most monitors to suit personal tastes.

Overall I liked the video. I think everyone just has different taste. It would be very boring if we all liked the same thing.

Very true, but what's been annoying Oleg is people constantly saying. . .

"But WOP/BOP has much more realistic looking terrain in it!"

As julian265 pointed out, it's really too green and a lot of the naturalness and "realism" are a result of tricks they use to fool the user into believing things look real. Take a photo of the Hurricane and compare it to a real colour photo of it, you'll notice the WOP one looks nothing like the real colours, but it has to be that colour because the rest of the game is so drab and washed out with greens.

Like mazex said, they're using that awful "drab" filter effect from SPR and Band of Brothers.

If we saw that terrain in SoW, without the rest of SoW having that same filter applied, everyone would be happy I think. So long as the landscape could be tuned to have warmer colours, it would look awesome. I play the WoP demo every week or so, and I always marvel at the seamless terrain.
Of course we have yet to see how SoW looks in-play, but with WoP there are no objects that randomly pop-out as you travel closer; everything just feels so smooth.

That's just my opinion though. I, too, don't like WoP's colour filter, although I do not find that it detracts too much from the terrain itself. The terrain does look a bit as though each field is the same colour, although on the other hand the Berlin map has fields that have really nice, warm colours.

Except for this ugly "WWII" filter (1), the terrain in this sim is so good, excellent geometry and excellent disposal of the trees and the fields, so natural.


(1) if I had to choose some kind of filter, I would have, instead this "Band of Brothers" brown mask, choosen a filter which would portray the Kodachrome look of the fourties :

of course, as an option, I prefer realistic lighting.

I got a laugh out of that because when I got this happy, comfortable, familar feeling watching it turn I didn't know why......
