Title: To the HTC team
Post by: jolly22 on January 20, 2011, 03:27:42 PM
any chance of getting a newer commercial with the new terrain in it? The commercial is what really drew me into the game and im sure it brought a lot of people to it also.

I remember doing a youtube search to try to show someone the updated graphics.  90% of the videos I could find were with the old graphics, and of the videos since the texture update, many of those were with detailed ground and water textures turned off. :uhoh

So far, I've only seen one video with dynamic shadows turned on, and smoothing was not enabled.  The shadows look like garbage without smoothing, I think, but smoothing drop my fps from 60 to less than 50, so I leave them off entirely.  It's strange because I can run "medium" dynamic shadows in RoF with a negligible fps hit, and they look nice.

I think they need an updated commercial too, but maybe they're waiting for a couple more new implementations first (like the vox upgrade, updated damage models like on the WWI stuff to teh WWII stuff, etc.) or are all too busy working on things at the moment, like the BeeTwentyNine.  :bolt:

Yep, I agree that its time for a new commercial. We need more noobs to shoot down.  :salute
To be honest, I bet that half the people here saw that commercial and started to play.  Myself included! :salute

They oculd have a compitition for it like they did for the cover screen!   We have had some REALLY good videos in the past that could be a commercial ad..

I think they ought to use Niros 'Fly to Live' movie.  That's one of the most awesome thing's I saw in 2010.  And no I'm not joking.

I bet HTC has some music rights for stuff from the first commercial.....  Perhaps all we need is a new audio track!!!!

He has a clear talent for composition, but not running the high detail textures looks really bad.  People see videos like that and think that's what the game looks like.

Exactly.

"Are you up for the challenge?!" What a great voice that guy has, whoever could it be...:uhoh

that voice is some ol Texan down there near where hitech creations is.........

he used to even be in a band if I remember correctly...... back when he was a young whippersnapper but he is an  :old: codger these days  :D

he once told me a saying his Grandpa would say to him, I kind of took offense to it the first time he mentioned it to me during a conversation, since that saying had my name in it ( ROFL ) ..... but anyways to answer your question of who that voice is

that voice is our very own "Coach" who plays Aces High, an old Damned squaddy of mine who now flys with the TFC when he gets time to enjoy the game  :cheers:

and my name is Johnny, and this ain't know Joh......... ah forget it  ;)
