Guest Ti0n3r Posted March 30, 2005 Could it be that the reason we havent seen ANY screenshots of OFP2 is that it doesnt look good at all? Im pretty sure most OFP fanatics dont care to much about the visual part... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Cobra Posted March 30, 2005 They're probably working on it But it sure will be better looking than 1... I hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WargamingNor 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Question is, how much work has been done on OFP 2 so far? Is the graphics engine done yet? No one outside BIS knows... Well, hopefully we will get the first screens from OFP 2 at this years E3. I certainly hope they are at least as good-looking as the 8 screens from Enemy in Sight. Now, graphics ain't everything in a game... but let's face it; all of us hope for at least something similar or better than VBS1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted March 30, 2005 rather see "functions" then grafics.. like some guys firing from a chopper, stuff like that really shows "this been fixed guys, dont worry".. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted March 30, 2005 it will implement several DirextX 9.0 effects so I doubt it will be bad looking. I got a question though. Could it be that the enhanced OFP engine will again not be capable to use less CPU and more the Graphic Card? Is it maybe in the nature of this engine? Damn I hope they will finally allow a smoother frame rate but outsourcing more work to the graphic card! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardrock 1 Posted March 30, 2005 I wrote Suma a PM regarding some engine questions a week ago, since he didn't answer it since then I think this is a good sign! They're probably too busy with programming the OFP2 engine, so hopefully we'll see the result of it soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadger 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Well BIS have a good publisher, had BIS been with Activition or Eidos we would have seen the game released last week at the end of the tax year in an unplayable state just so the publisher could keep operating another year.

instant 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Could it be that the reason we havent seen ANY screenshots of OFP2 is that it doesnt look good at all?Im pretty sure most OFP fanatics dont care to much about the visual part... Poor Graphics? OPF1 still looks great, and if the past years have improved on anything I am sure it would be both models and graphics.. I'd rather have "poorer" graphics and good phsyics/movement/gameplay than arcade-style gameplay akin to Battlefield or Counterstrike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonedge 0 Posted March 30, 2005 It's not all about artists that make a game look nice,if they could have their way it would be very realistic. I have a friend who works for Larian, he's a 3D artist. http://www.larian.com/ You have the engine, the time they can spend, ... And most important off all the minimum computer settings. They don't expect that everybody can afford the latest computer. So the main problem is the downward compatiblety, it has to run on an old computer to.

edc 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Well I could certainly see how it might not look to good right now graphically, I mean look at some of the screen shots in BI's fans/pics page(you know the briefcase one). Some of them show some fairly rather bad looking bugs/model problems, and most of them do not look anywhere near as nice as OFP did, even when it was released. I wish they would atleast say something though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homefry 0 Posted March 30, 2005 I heard that OFP2 graphics will be even worse than OFP1's!!! OMG!!!!!11!!!!ONEONE!!! Guy's, seriously... we have nothing to worry about... OFP1 looks as good as most games coming out now... and we still haven't gotten to where OFP1 could be... I'm sure OFP2 will look even more amazing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 127 Posted March 31, 2005 definetly hope that ofp2's graphics are better than vsb1 and ofp's. and the animation. i reckon ofp2 can do sooo well when it comes out. maybe even better than number one. its a sad thing but a game is often bought becuase of graphics and the promise of gameplay first. the actual gameplay only comes into the equation when the game is played for real. but that's after the sale has been made. so better graphics is a must for ofp2 to achieve highest possible sales.

Colossus 2 Posted March 31, 2005 Can we just wait and see? At least we know OFP2 is based on VBS1 and that means at least the graphic could be as good as VBS or better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotp 0 Posted March 31, 2005 I read that OFP2 will deffinitely be shown at E3 this year and the date April 16th was mentioned. As for the graphics of the game ... they've certainly had enough time to improve the graphics and nearly everyone with a bit of intelligence will know that the graphics will at least be better than OFP 1 simply because they will be using a different coded graphics engine that can take advantage of Direct X 9.0 capabilities. I just hope theyve fixed those Damn Buildings , or should i say Stargates , coz you could walk right through them and end up on the other side of the House or even outside. I'm sure OFP 2 is going to be the Huge Success that OFP1 was and after all , the fact that so many of you still post in here shows what a success that OFP 1 was , theres not many games you will find people playing 4yrs + down the line.

.pablo. 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Quote[/b] ]I read that OFP2 will deffinitely be shown at E3 this year and the date April 16th was mentioned. where did you read this? according to the E3 website, the convention will be held may 18-20, not april 16. although i wouldn't rule out magazine previews... http://www.e3expo.com/ im the most curious about the new animations; i think they were one of ofp's biggest problems (aside from the physics), as every time i showed ofp to one of my friends they nearly always commented on how strangely the people ran. that and the bouncing tanks.

metallicAL 0 Posted June 30, 2005 OFP = no bump mapping/few vegitation OFP2 = bump mapping/lots of vegitation I dont know where the confusion is, the graphics in OFP2 (although at early stages still) are far, FAR superior to OFP1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killbert 0 Posted June 30, 2005 I'm mostly impressed about the features of the OFP2, dynamic battlefield and such. The graphics in the screenshot look ok, but maybe not amazing. The units look amazing, but the terrain looks like ofp1 with couple more rocks and grass in places. However, it looking good, since there's still about 1.5 years to go before release, and it already looking this good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
