Title: Film Contest
Post by: Easyscor on July 28, 2013, 12:48:39 PM
The films on the front page are excellent, but most don't show Aces High in the best possible light.

I suggest a film contest with several categories for winners. All films should be provided at a minimum of 720p HD. All films with potential to land on the front page should be made using graphic settings that show Aces High in the best light possible.

They should be recorded using high graphic detail, especially Bump Map My Plane, maximum Object and Terrain detail sliders, and include the check boxes for Detailed Terrain and Detailed Water. These settings would provide the best possible impression of Aces High, and that's the final objective. My own preference is not to show washed out planes, terrain, or pyramid mountains in the background.

Categories could include some variation of the following:

Best film from and individual
Best film from a squad or team
Best Dogfight compilation
Best Bomber compilation
Best Ground compilation
Best SEA/AvA film
Honorable mention, runners up, etc

The squad/team idea allows people with different skill sets and hardware to combine efforts.

Judging and prizes of course, would be at HTC's discretion.

As far as that goes, it could be running continuously with prizes given quarterly.

You and I can have our own contest for that one.  :aok  I'm sure mine wouldn't be prize worthy though.

Aces High is the only game I've ever seen that doesn't have knock-your-socks-off films of the in-game experience on their front page. Heck, some of the game intros I've seen are pure fantasy and have nothing to do with how the game looks and feels.
