Was that the Bath Wilts & North Dorset Club flying from the Park? I'm a member and I've heard this story. Poor wingless Tiggy.

To compare Crysis and BoB might look like comparing apples and oranges on first sight, but very down to the bottom of things, it is not. It is a question of the engine used and for some odd reason, Oleg decided to programm BoB for OpenGL again.

Sure, that means it runs with less problems on a wider array of machines and rendering is usually faster, but the effects and the quality of which are much worse, especially since HDR is optimized for DX, if it even works for OpenGL.
I got a friend in the game-developing-genre, working on different titles as 3D-artist, and his company convinced several programming teams to use DX instead of OpenGL, just for the reason that the same effect can be accomplished with much less work and with a better outcome.

So, AfterEffect rendering like we'll see in Crysis probably won't work in BoB. On the other hand, who knows what Olegs team is able to do with the OpenGL-routines. Remember, the screens are early alpha, the Crysis-Engine is ready for a few month, now.

Thank the gods. The post process effects are way too overdone on most games. Blooming is cool, but I won't miss it a bit.

I could never understand the fixation with legs in the pit..... If we do have legs in the pit... does that mean they may be spattered with gore if we take a hit?

I like the new trees.. looks like no more pancakes.... and it looks like the houses will be more to scale as well. Im looking forward to the next series .....

Today, being the 15th, is the UK release date...... and guess what I hold in my grubby little hands.....now got to find an excuse to leave work early.

I feel mysteriously unwell in one hour

You are starting to look a little pale... Is your temp doing okay? It's my professional opinion that lots of rest at home is in order! Nothing strenuous, mind you, but I think sitting in front of your computer at home with mild entertainment may be suitable...

let's get this thread off p. 8, those damn' big images are ruining the reading pleasure... - And let's hear your take on 1946 guys!

Swelnet, The sun in one of those Crysis pics looks fake. And I concure with most people here, in fact the way the sun looks right now (4.05) is awesome and more that enough for me. Trees are nice but not indispensable, unless you plan to do a Helo sim like Black Shark trees and obstacles for cover are a must.

I vouch for a more advanced FM and there is something... a feel of being flying in vast volumes of air that has to be reached eventualy.

BTW Mr.Maddox thanks for doing this kind of game, even though arcade stuff apeals to the majority, that means a lot to geeks like us.

Salute!
