ofp game trailer

Recommended Posts

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...

I just saw the Final Trailer. Where is the First Trailer? BTW the Final Trailer looks freaking awsome! wow_o.gif And in the final trailer the units look much better and some other improvements. Like the water, looks different.

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 wow_o.gif

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 wow_o.gif

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

or thou shall be shot blues.gif

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 crazy_o.gif

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"

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

That means you have not explored enough the secret BIS website.

The old flashpoint website and some very old videos can be found by following some links from there smile_o.gif
