I wonder if models from this will be portable to Gmod? That would be insane.
Now that we've got all the big wars from the last century, can we get down to primitive warfare? I want to re-enact the battle of Salamis or Thermopylae.

Oh definitely man, all those Korean War and Sino-Japanese war FPSes are fun.
Korean war wouldn't be much fun.
Oh my god, I've been waiting for a game like this for forever.
Idea is incredible but it looks like the gameplay is going to be absolutely horrifyingly bad. Never heard of the Torque engine but it looks ridiculously outdated, and floatier than gamebryo.

yes, I realize I'm basing my opinion on the gameplay from three-ish minutes of pre-alpha youtube video, don't pretend like it's impossible to

It'd be like WWI with WWII weapons, what wouldn't be fun?
I, for one, am glad, because WW1 and trench warfare is overlooked in games.

Because of popular, bullshit misconceptions.
Me and my friend are in the extremely early development stages of a game based around it though. Hope you like ASCII graphics.

It's only floatier if your programmers suck dick. But that can be said about any engine.

So thats why people always make games about WW2.
But if it was WW1 I would prefer Ottoman empire's breakdown on Tunisia as the scenario.

Was that the roguelike you wanted, and were talking about in the roguelike thread?
[QUOTE=Achilles123;30259247]Was that the roguelike you wanted, and were talking about in the roguelike thread?[/QUOTE]
Yes, actually. Right now we're doing the website and a lot of indepth planning shit.
If it does happen it's going to be a damn long while, though.
[QUOTE=BeAR!);30259427]Sadly it looks repetitive, and a bit dull.[/QUOTE]
Like half of world war 1 was trying to find food and not get hit by artillery. How is that any bit dull?

Game better have that damn french body armor.
I believe the would.
Also: I hope Bayonets and Knives are really good. In games like "Call of Duty: World at War", the player would simply swipe the Bayonet and kill the enemy, instead of shoving it into the chest, then turning the blade inside, causing internal damage.

I want bayonet action similar to Dark Messiah's stabbing action...That would be swell.
This looks pretty cool yeah, but only one single map? And only one side to play? Yeah I guess you can replay it but when you find a winning strategy what's pushing you to play again? Am I perhaps missing something here?

It's one single map in the sense that GTA4 is one single map.
But yes, it's extremely dynamic if you haven't picked that up. That's the driving factor in replayability.

What kind of dynamicity are we talking about here? Also how long will one playthrough take?
I wonder if the Machine Gun [Vickers, I believe] will be added.
That will be one helluva toy
[QUOTE=Sporbie;30267513]What kind of dynamicity are we talking about here? Also how long will one playthrough take?[/QUOTE]
Game time equivalent of 3 days.

You can also do things like place defensive positions and artillery batteries, go on trench raids to gather intelligence, etc.

The Vickers Gun was British, the French primarily used the Hotchkiss M1914 for static machine gun emplacements, and the Germans primarily used the MG08, the light version of which being the MG08/15. They also used a number of captured Entente guns, such as the Lewis Gun (primarily due to the heavy carrying weight of the water cooled MG08/15).
Should be more than 3 days IMO.
More like 3 years.

No you get the shitty french machine guns.
In a battle that didn't even last one year?
Ruined my automerge. Also the hotchkiss wasn't completely terrible, you're probably thinking of the Chauchat.
