World In Conflict

Oberon · 05-20-07, 05:30 AM

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this yet, an upcoming RTS by Massive Entertainment. Looks pretty good...the graphics particularly, far beyond the reach of my machine that's for certain...but a definate incentive to upgrade. Storyline by Larry Bond, a bit far fetched, something along the lines of Red Alert 2

But, Cold War gone hot scenarios are few and fair between in the RTS world, particularly ones that look this good.
The NATO side has just been unveiled in the latest trailer, and I think Leopard tanks are included, so that's got Skybirds vote

War is coming home.

The image you posted looks more as concept art than actual ingame footag to me. But maybe I'm wrong.

You'd be surprised, the graphics in this thing are cutting edge, particularly the tactical nuke.

Check out some of the trailers:

And my favourites, the cinematic trailers:

That is one heck of a really nice looking game!

I want it already! It has a storyline that makes me want to jump right off of my chair and fight back!

Hopefully the rig (in sig) that will be arriving sometime this week *crosses fingers* will be able to run it like it looks in those previews because those are looking truly amazing.

I love the cinematic trailer where the Russians are invading Seattle and the Shilka starts firing at the news chopper with the bullets flying everywhere and the people standing around it ducking out of the way, it looks so realistic!

Me too. I'm running on an old ATI x1900 XTX, and a dual core 4400+, and 2 GB RAM. Not quite cutting edge anymore.

I participated in closed beta testing, too. It was truly awesome. A bit too arcade-ish for me, but that's just a matter of taste - nothing a realism mod won't fix.

I wrote a detailed account here, and uploaded some screenies, for those interested.

As a side note, I just learned that I'll receive a piece of the Berlin Wall if I buy the Collector's Edition

. There's a smart marketing ploy if I ever saw one.

As for expansion pack countries, I'd go for the Warsaw Pact nations and the People's Republic of China.

Here is another game, unfortuantely, that I will most definately NOT be buying or playing. For the second time a title that I was looking forward to is going to be dumbed down to accomodate the disposable title market that console gamers seem to enjoy. First it was quake wars and now this. I was upset about quake wars but not all that surprised. SW Battlefront II PC port anyone? Maybe I am getting too old for new releases. Thank God for Galactic Civilizations 1 & 2 as well as the IL2 series and the Silent hunter series. They will have to continue to tide me over until the demographic changes from the pre-pubescent.

Sorry for the tone, more than a little dissapointed in this news (yet again).

stabiz · 06-28-07, 03:55 AM

I hear you.

Safe-Keeper · 06-29-07, 05:53 PM

I was disappointed when I learned of the console port, too. Hopefully the PC version will still be as good as it was when I played the closed beta. We've been promised editing tools, too, so at least it won't be a hard-coded title like most console games.

Safe-Keeper · 07-03-07, 01:57 PM

One million beta keys being given away! Line up!

Ilpalazzo · 07-04-07, 03:29 AM

Looks like I'm too late to mention the open beta.

I was unaware that there was going to be a console port. After reading that you guys have totally killed my enthusiasm for this game

I hope it's not going to be as bad as I'm imagining it............*twitches* ugh.
