migryder Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 while on the subject of things like SEALS equipment, don't know the currently used medium for comm with such units, but how bout some sort of magnaphone that player must use in game at times to get updates on objectives, these could even be changed on the fly......I think Dynacomp may have had these kinda things in mind? edit - http://www.spacewar.com/news/nanotech-05zzzzt.html mig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 It's late here and I just finished up something very cool. So as I'm off to rest, here is a small, but not so subtle tease............. -John Cool, haven't seen that in pc gaming before, it can provide foundation for a truly "wet job" for coop and sp missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snared_gambit Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This is shaping up to be excellent. I recently discovered after rechecking my new computer's specs that it is in fact a decent machine. Just needs a little more RAM, and it's set. So, as long as system requirements aren't sky-high, I'll be pretty happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamakazi Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What are the chances of getting a rough estimate on release date? Are we talking months or a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsonedecker Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 What are the chances of getting a rough estimate on release date? Are we talking months or a year? Year. The way Ubi is carpet bombing the Clancy products you'll most likely see ANOTHER GR, after GRAW2, title before this one. I hope that doesn't scare anyone off. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsonedecker Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'll continue to throw a few hints every few weeks or so until things get to busy. We'll see how it goes. BlackFoot Studios was founded on the principal of making certain types of games and of a particular quality level. With any luck we will be able to maintain that vision and find publishing partners and/or private funding that agree. I dearly miss the early days of RSE, both for it's Clancy products and the office environment that we worked in and I would love to recapture that again. I guess only time will tell if it's meant to be. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Jerky Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Most developers always claim that there next game will be "it", but for some reason and also because you seem to want what everybody here wants I feel pretty positive about your project. Make us proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that doesn't scare anyone off. -John Take whatever time it takes. Also, I'm not worried about top notch graphics, it is more important to get the core gameplay features right -injury model -gun aim, recoil -movements etc that makes the difference between a good game and an excellent game.

I hope that doesn't scare anyone off. -John A year wouldn't be long to wait for a great game. Heck what else do we have to look foward to? GRAW was poor at best and GRAW2 will be more of the same just piled higher and deeper. Enough is enough of these one hero wonder games where you and your squad get blown to bits but come back from the dead the very next mission. I hope your not even considering such rubbish for your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingkat Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Let's see......................S B S.................Special Boat Squadron..........?............ Like "underwater-frogman-guy-stuff"........?........ ....................awesome...................... Never understood why someone hadn't made a FPS about them. Lot's of action happened in and around water. Like.............US Navy SEALS, SBS, the Royal Marines..(?)...many Spec Ops groups have them. I belive even the US Army has a group of Combat Swimmers. This is fun. Let the speculations begin. Besides, think about assaulting an "oil rig" in the middle of an ocean....?....... Kingkat............... ................this is purely MY opinions, but its fun to wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Speaking of characters.......... Pretty small I know. Someday you will see bigger things. -John Actually, I never fully understand the fuss about the 'Crysis faces 'that was released some time ago, Yea, they look good, this one look good too John But, so what? Seriously, which gamer cares about the facial expressions in a tactical shooter? The core features are the maps, the 'atmosphere', but above all the 'gameplay' and netcode, server options (for MP players) and so forth... I mean details like: Injury model, hud, recoil, what movements are allowed and how does running, walking, injuries etc effect the players movements, aim etc... I fully understand that you will not reveal details of that, well at least not yet. But, I 'll look forward to when the time comes for a screenshot of the first person view. Well, I hope it will be a FPS only (but I have understanding if it is going to be a third person view too, to reach a greater audience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Eyelids look odd from this angle, are you sure they're right? (That got spec on it? Looks really nicely subtle, if so. Otherwise, great diffuse.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, great diffuse.) It might be the angle. He is in a specific pose that I could have adjusted some for a better shot. He has deep eye sockets. He has spec and a sort of SSS trick that trys to simulate it without the rendering overhead. That is in game with actual shaders used. Speaking of characters.......... Pretty small I know.

Well, I hope it will be a FPS only (but I have understanding if it is going to be a third person view too, to reach a greater audience) Absolutely. Some companies focus a lot on tech and looks, but tend to under deliver in the actual meat of the game. We were not built to try to go head to head with the graphics powerhouses. My core team comes form a very specific background and fully understands what these types of games should revolve around. It's hard to tease people this early on that stuff, so the visuals and hints in those visuals will need to suffice. This one doesn't really do it, but you should be able to try to guess game specific things from these teasers. The last one surely revealed a tid bit or two. BTW: SBS is not it. There are a lot of combat swimmer units. I don't think you guys are casting a wide enough net to figure it out. Of course, no one said only 1 title is in play either. I understand 2 things very well.... What sells well and the genre that I had a proud hand in starting and later perfecting. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
