What happened from 2008 to Release!?

TemplarGFX · 08-02-2010, 03:53 PM

I by pure chance alone stumbled accross a forum post linking a "leaked alpha" video, which had been removed by I assume codemasters, the content of the chat in said forum made it sound like a completely different game, so I went on a hunt to try and find a copy of this video.

Now I found about 20 different locations of this video, and all of them had been removed (fishy) until finally I found these two, now from the preview image of the video in that original forum, these are not the video they were discussing, however these videos from 2008 show in-game footage which is MARKEDLY better than what the release version looks like

I will continue the hunt tomorrow to find that first video!

I've never seen these before, some of you may have. but the real question is, why doesnt our game look like this?

thats just ............. out of words.

LarsTheHunter · 08-02-2010, 04:29 PM

Becouse its an concol port!!, but if its only haved been on PC then its haved looked like this.............

I follow this game for a few years, so I remember all these videos and interviews very well. I agree with you that graphics in these pre-alpha footages is much better than graphics in final version. Maybe it's caused by drastic postproces that wasn't present in pre-release builds, maybe they had to f*ck it up because of console hardware...

Now you probably understand, why we all are so angry to Codemasters, dont you?

Just one word to explain all of this: CONSOLES

It even had weapon kit customation.

In one video they said. The island even has holes in the ground! I want that game. Why of why did they make this for consoles. It could have been ported later. Can you people imagine what this game would have been if it was only build for PC???

The graphics are SO much better in that video!!!!

Eikku · 08-02-2010, 05:28 PM

The game was ready in 2008. After that they started taking everything out of the game and adding limitations. They added so much limitations and graphic downgrades that it took them two years.

And all these weapons and vehicles that didnt make to the final game. WHY?????????????

Havent posted in a while coz ive now left this game behind.... I only visit this forum for entertainment now.

Now TemplarGFX ... do you finally get it? why the original fans of OFP were so p i s s e d?

CM systematically destroyed this game in favor of the console market and gave the scraps to the PC users.

They did start out will all good intentions.. or so it seems, however the game was beyond the tech that CM could deliver, hence the high turn over of staff at CM and why the game became a shameful shadow of its former self. As a result they have damaged their reputation beyond repair as far as a massive percentage of the PC community is concerned.

Maybe it was because of time limit and budget that this game was released in the state it was. Everyone knows it had some project restarts and lots of sacked staff along the way, no-one ( in the PC gaming world ) expected it to be released in the state its in now.

They ruined the community and slaughtered the flashpoint name. IMHO they deserve everything they got. I think it was all a complete farce trying to top BiS technology, they couldnt do it... hence the poor quality game/support/community thats around now.

Seriously CM scr ew ed the PC gamer bigtime..., Karma is a biatch eh CM?

MANY MANY others feel the same way as you.

As for that second vid.... i couldn't watch all of it .. it smelled so much of BS it left its stain on me.

As for a sequel.... dedicated servers, 64+ players, anti cheat, JIP, native free roam, trackIR ALL these things AND MORE need to be included.... not to mention its needs to be a dedicated PC build FIRST before anything else.

Sadly it wont happen, youve all seen the last of what was Operation Flashpoint or any hope of it EVER been even slightly like the original release.

Whats even more sad is that CM have really NO clue on how to build and maintain a community... i mean signing and NDA before you can mod the game? seriously how fudged up is that?

Ingönyama · 08-02-2010, 06:05 PM

nothing new to me
just a complete and utter failure
love how that guy boasts about "listening to the community"
gr8 guys, we have a Seahawk.

i hope helios responds to this thread with a sincere and honest answer(and i mean specificly to the OP, not to someone flaming or trolling or saying his opinion), im really curios what his answers gonna be
