Video of Colin McRea Dirt using the Neon Engine

Good looking game

This is relevant since CodeMaster's Operation Flashpoint 2 is said to use the same engine.

The engine is pretty, but I'm curious as to it's ability to render an object filled landscape over thousands of meters. I've only seen a couple of shots in game in which the view distance is more that one kilometer, and even then it is a road corridor surrounded by barren backdrop.

I hope they get the EvoX and the new Impreza into the final game. The Evo wagon that mitsubishi has been keeping under wraps would be cool too.

Nice vid,i like colin mcrae series.

Looks great. But i think i'm seeing 2D backgrounds as part of the skybox... which would mean the areas in OFP2 would be small unless they heavily modify the engine.

I used to have a Thrustmaster GP1 racing wheel - well, I still do, but since it's analogue and it's been abused so much, it's no longer accurate (huge "dead" area) ... and I always wonder if I should get myself a new wheel or not, since none of the wheels so far available feel like the real thing (does anybody know of any wheel for the PC which has no turn limitation? ) . And not having a wheel affects my ability to play these games, since I would never drive with my joystick, and keyboards have their limits...

Looks good though, let's see what the game engine will do for OFP2...

Looks quite promising, im not totally sure how it will handle big areas/alot of units but i think we can pretty safely say that OFP2 is going to have better car handling then Game2/ArmA

Why it could not handle the open space and lots of units, is this only in BIS's and their graphic engine domain?

Yea, a better car handling (give every soldier his armed humvee and wroooom ratatatata    ), and we can be pretty certain a better AI.

and we can be pretty certain a better AI.

Can we conclude this from a rally video?

No, but we cant see how the Neon engine will handle such things from this video

No but from retarded ArmaA's AI.

I think every thing can be optimised, EVEN this graphic engine. As I said, I just can't see that Codemasters will allow themselves to shit a stick here.

just a view things i saw that it looks like a few missed

1.AI use of bridges

2.It looks like you could have what i would call true damage values for vehicles instead of just turning a rust color. Like blowing a tank trax off or doors off a hummv. lol..maybe even soilder damage values

Right now for wheels the best one out is the G25 and it has 900 degree rotation like a real wheel. The next is the DFP which also has 900 degree rotation, but lacks the clutch& H pattern shifter.

After that is the MOMO, It's like the DFP, but with 240 degree rotation. All have paddle shifters and sequential shifters and you can be competitive online with each.

Price wise  G25=300$

               DFP=150$

               MOMO= around 100$

They work with PS3 and PS2 too as long as the game supports it.

You are aware that this engine has nothing to do with the engine of ArmA/Game2?

yes i do know that, but what im comparing it to OFP1 and Armed Assult now. I think most of the complaints in reguards to those 2 "might" be done in OFP2 with correct dammage values.
