Preview of one of the maps, including zoom in on objectives?

([ls.leodavinci]) #1

I know that the splashdamage team is very busy with developing the game :notworthy:

… but is there any chance you can give us a sneak preview of one of the maps and let us “feel” what ETQW is all about?

There was a lot of footage during the E3 period… the main trailer and some life ingame action, but the footage didnt show us what ETQW is all about “ETQW’s focus is on objectives and squad combat” … http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=14843

I think it would be very cool if there would be a video preview of one of the maps, something like:

  • high overflight of the map … some text highlight the objectives/ areas of both teams
  • and then zoom in on those objectives, telling us what it is all about and how classes have to work together to reach the objective and succeed :banana:

Summary: would be cool to see teamplay and squad combat… and not the regular shooting and medic reviving in a next trailer

Dunno if more people would love to see that :moo:

The guys of splashdamage who reply here seam to be nice - or at least, they pretend to be nice and caring … :blah: :blah: … hmmm …OK: THEY WANT OUR MONEY, just like EA … it is a bad cruel nasty world, but I can at least try to make it a better place for all of us …blablabla… maybe I can trade it for a video they would like to have :poke:

Don’t hold your breath for this one.

Maybe it is best that people don’t hold their breath at all … but I already have one supporter

:clap: :clap: :clap:

The people who reply here are very nice, but you have to remember they just work for a company (SD), that is working for another company (id), that is working for another company (Activision). If you think they can just come out and post whatever they feel like here, you need to review your lessons from Corporate Intellectual Property Bureaucracy Layers 101, as I believe they’d need a lot of approvals to release any kind of new information.

Something doesn’t sound right here.
I’d say it’s SD who makes the game and the licence from id to use the Doom3 engine comes trough Activision since they’re the producer.

Splash Damage is working with Id to produce this game. Activision is just the publisher.

@centurion: Clan Leader for the BF2 clan -=CCC=- (Computer Chair Commandos)

that is one of the best ideas for a clan name I have seen in a long time! my congratulations!

Actually, we’re just the caterers.

yes make a video showing all of us gameplay, objectives, classes, vehicles and all. and send it to EA so they can copy it in time before BF234234 get’s published. You know BF guys @ EA are always keen on new ideas since they cannot come up with new ones themselves.

now seriously, just wait for the demo. if all goes well, it’s only 1/2/3 months of waiting ahead. there are lots of videos around from E3 showing objectives, gameplay and classes and if you really want to know more about ET:QW then go play some W:ET (it’s the same advice SD gave to some BF fans on some IRC log i’ve read somewhere around these forums). From what i’ve seen and read (and i truly hope it’s true) ET:QW gameplay is a lot like W:ET.

I don’t like waiting but hey, most good things in life require a little waiting and effort envolved.

Exactly, but my point is that there’s a PR/NDA hieharchy that can’t simply be bypassed, and that’s something most people here don’t seem to understand.

(Etnies) #14

same thing everyday new people just asking for more stuff… :banghead: :bash:

this is the problem with games developers these days… they end up so far removed from the grass roots… then the glass towers start to get constructed… then they end up making crap games… ie id :confused:

i miss the old days… before it was all about making money… greed, the death of gaming…

but what do i know eh?

(SCDS_reyalP) #16

Clearly, bongoboy didn’t see the end of the glass balcony on his glass tower, and walked right off the edge.

(MuffinMan) #17

normally it’s not the developers who decide to rush things, it’s the sales guys

at least that’s the case for me, and I guess that applies to game development just as well, not only to business software

Dont want to be an annoying bihatch… but the quakeconpreview has much of that idea in it … and much more of course

Thnx splash !!! Now I can spam all my clanmembers and show them how good the MP-part will be … THIS WILL BE OUR NEW GAME, looks freaking good !!! This was exactly what I was looking for in a preview, showing us what the teamplay of ETQW would be all about !!!

You see? Stay motionless and silent and the world will eventually acclaim you as a golden god…

More, as and when…
