landscape of official storm of war trailer

[JG52Krupi]

You guys take the biscuit, never ever have I met such a bunch moaning speculating buffoons.

There are countless games that had tech videos that have looked much much better than the final product and if you think the landscape looks bad then you clearly have not spent much time playing. I agree that the colours at certain times are too bright but it's a flying sim not a sodding 1940 Britain sim GROW UP.

Thats what i keep saying, there will always be: "but, but, but"!!! from people who are never ever satisfied, always.


P.S Someone should alert all the monitor manufactures, there seems to be a all out epidemic bug causing the calibration feature on the screens to conk out.

Umm...Old sailors say " It's bad luck to change the name of a boat".Well, with the game maybe that was not all bad luck.

Ataros, for me the issue is more about the overall believability of the landscape and specifically placement of trees, though colour could be improved too - and will probably be the easier fix.

JG52Krupi - I was waiting for the 'it's a flight-sim, not a 1940s terrain sim' line to come up. As i've already said, different people put different priorities on things. But a flight-sim has to simulate more than just the aircraft and their systems to a good standard - it has to create a believable world for them to fly in. So a flight-sim set in 1940s Britain does unavoidably have to be something of a '1940 Britain sim'.

It doesn't need to be perfect or to prioritise the terrain above the aircraft and the flying, but it should be believable. For me the early version was and the current version isn't. Personal opinion. Sorry if you disagree, but no need to start name-calling.

I logged very few hours in a small aircraft flying most of the time at 300m (on hot summer days mostly). For me neither RoF nor DCS create as believable world as seen from this altitude as CoD. For me CoD provides more photorealistic experience i.e. not as cartoonish as some other sims. It very well reminds of experience I had in RL e.g. even rising my heart beat say when I am on my final but the runway is not clear ingame. Original IL-2 did not give this feeling for example.

Landscape will be improved further of cause.

Upd. For instance compare difference between light and shade colours on a cloudy day here

WTF are you talking about? Did you even bother to read the leading thread?

Speculation is something that is derived from uncertainty, there is no such uncertainty implied in the video in the leading thread, it is clearly implied that these features would be available with purchase of product.

Jesus help me, how many more of you misguided fools are out there?

CS.

ITS PURE SPECULATION BECAUSE NO ONE HERE KNOWS THE REASON WHY THEY DROPPED THE LANDSCAPE.

The only reason mentioned here was that the old engine was too limiting so if true you are asking to have the old engine back that they felt they could not get the game they wanted from.

So I am a fool ROFL, might be but at least im no hyprcrite

Krupi, take the fingers out your ears mate,
its not our fault that the colours and layout of the SOW landscape
are better than CODs, these are just the facts as most of us see them.
What we would like to happen is that Luthier sees these threads and if its at all possible in the future he changes some things...thats all we want.

You do know that Luthier doesn't cry when somebody points out these things right?

Most of us would like to know if they can get the colours and layout right once, why did the colours and layout change in COD?

[JG52Uther]

I was at the same show as Mystic,and sat at that computer.It looked better than what we have now IMO.

just to compare...
