Promotion and Medal presentation SH 5

Stealth Hunter · 10-30-09, 10:55 PM

Anytime I think of a supreme graphical representation of receiving awards/promotions, Red Baron and Red Baron 3D always come to mind. Sadly, there's a shortage of that kind of quality in games today. Or hard work for that matter. It's always left up to the modders now. Devs like Damon Slye and Dynamix were praised and loved for one reason: they produced damn fine work.

I've gotta say, this thread has reminded me of everything I loved about Microprose simulations of the 1980's and early 1990's. They always had medal screens and stuff. Remember Gunship 2000?

Man, THOSE were the days,

Microprose, Strategic Simulations, Westwood Studios, Dynamix, Sierra...

Given your post in this thread and the big wave thread I guess you'd prefer it if everybody just shut up and didn't discuss or speculate about anything.

Kind of defeats the purpose of a discussion forum, doesn't it?

if you want to think that

I think the view of the uniform changing as medals or promotions are awraded is an excellent idea. Way better than just the box used in SH3. Perhaps the view of the uniform could wither be as some just posted, or a variety of a number of heads to create an avatar. Even possibly something to selctd a facial type, hair color, mustache, beard, etc.. THe First person shooters easily do this all the time these days. Some clever modder might even be able to allow you to take a snapsot of your own head, face and sort of photshop it onto your avatar.

Of course this could be combined with some film or generated clip of your avatar being awarded something or other, with appropriate martial music.
