joemoemino 0 Posted November 11, 2004 i watched one of the trailers for ofp today and the trailer was alot different looking than the game. the soldiers ran differently, the muzzle flashes looked cooler and werent white, the m16/m203 had that grenade sight and a few other things. i was wondering what happened between the time that the trailer was made and the time when ofp was released...

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I just saw the Final Trailer. Where is the First Trailer? BTW the Final Trailer looks freaking awsome! And in the final trailer the units look much better and some other improvements. Like the water, looks different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I don't think that's the first. That's the final. Same one I saw. The units look totally different tho. When was this trailer updated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebns72 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Wow. The voice acting sounds a lot cooler-no offense, the one we got in the final campaign was kinda cheesy...was it just me, or during the end was there a soldier cursing the "s word" 3 times in a row... the running anim looks pretty good, but did you see the walking anim? Guys looked like the had weights in their boots. other than that tho, besides some sound effects it really doesn't look much different from the current game. Just one thing I noticed is that comp got really high framerates compared to waht I get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent N Deadly 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Ahh, Im wrong this is not the first I saw. I am going to watch this one. The one I saw had the same filename.

ebns72 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Hmmm, one more thing-anyone else see that cool shake effect in the helicopter? Even when he got out the propwash made the camera shake. That was really cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent N Deadly 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I don't think their is a shake effect. But they added a engine startup sound for the jeep. Why does it say "Flashpoint 1985:Status Quo" at the end? Did I miss something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joemoemino 0 Posted November 11, 2004 didnt you notice the sight deal on the m203 or the cobra camo? and about the guy saying the s word 3 times in a row i read somewhere in a preview in like 2001 that when you get hit your guy cursed thats why theres that bmp with the sweet looking muzzle flash. and about the status quo thing, i watched the units videos and they all say that in the begining. i also heard before that ofp was going to just be called "Flash Point" and you were fighting during ww3 after everything was blasted on 3 islands called abel cain and eden. and some company called... somethine i dont remember was going to publish it then they got owned and bis got codemasters to publish it. and it was originally suppossed to come out in june 99. look for the preview on ign. its here http://pc.ign.com/articles/135/135449p1.html ah yess the company called i-magic was going to publish it. Flash Point takes place in the mid-1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union. The 80s was an era of tension between the NATO and WARSAW forces and, in the alternate universe of Flash Point, tension flared into a full nuclear exchange between the West and the East. With most of the world's military forces decimated, along with most of earth's population centers, there are only a handful of troops left to wage the remainder of World War III (of course, it doesn't sound like the world is going to be a hospitable place after the war, but what the hey ... you still want to win don't you?). That's where you come in. You'll start Flash Point as a career soldier. You've dedicated your life to combat, programmed to either prevail over the enemy forces or die trying. What a sucker. The campaign will take place on three separate islands: Cain, Abel, and Eden. also if you look at flashpoint1985.com the jeep and the cobra look different like the one in the movie.

Black Knight 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Thats a really old one... it's an early development video... released to the public a long time ago... check THIS site and scroll down... you'll find all the videos there (don't know if the links still work though). Edit: or you can check over HERE and use the advanced search to find all the ofp videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sputnik monroe 102 Posted November 11, 2004 The Id card is interesting. Note the fields in it. I bet that your kill were supposed to be logged in them. Sort of like on the campaign screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted November 11, 2004 That warrant is still in \data3d. The links in the old page bounce, but the second one from BlackNight works, although you do have to reg. for Code M. The "Lifeless" music video is a good one. There's all sorts of stuff that changed between the proof-of concept apps like Rio Grande and Dawn of Flashpoint and the movies and what actually shipped.

Pappy Boyington 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Do not post the direct link to the site please. or thou shall be shot if you look at the back of the box and the actual game is completly differnt too. the cobra looks differnt on teh box then in game. and somewhere i saw the most beautiful PBR i had EVER seen. and the one in game. eh not so good my only guess is that was the orginal spec game... and then someone came along and went "yo our 50 billion dollar machines are nice but this game is for people on lower grade computers.. drop some pollys here do somethign with those textures there and make it playable for lowest spec" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joemoemino 0 Posted November 13, 2004 you mean http://poseidon.jrc.cz/ ? its in the wallpaper of the flash point game. and if you wanted to see the other site deal its at somethingatsomethingelse.com/other.html figure it out. and the way those guys run, its like they have back problems or something they should make a graphics enhancement for ofp. like ofp 1.5 with cooler animations better graphics sounds and effects. its would be pronage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
