Video of OpFlash 2 is up and its looking mighty tasty if it isnt pre-rendered.. draw your own conclusions on that front.

Pre-rendered.

That was short

That has to be pre-rendered...if it isnt, it blows the pants off crysis but yeh it definitely looks pre-rendered.

pre-rendered

Excuse my ignorance. But what does pre-rendered mean? Is that like, recording in-game stuff and then touching it up in like aftermarket software?

Cheers!

don't think so, notice how none of the environment moved (ie plants were dead still)

it'll look good no doubt, but it wont be the same in a depth kind of level.

but appart from that i'd go with the pre-rendered stance, it looks to 'perfect'

It's possible they were using a heavily touched up version of the actual engine, but either way it is definitely prerendered.

Pre-rendered is not in game and its not real time, its normally done by using cgi with model'S more complex than the game is capable of Doing and they usually get rid of the jaggys as well.

Ahh cheers for that. So kind of like an FMV intro sequence? Basically not in-game like you say.

Thing is, pre-rendered can use the game engine.. and im inclined to think this video does.. the models and rendering will all be of better quality and the sound may be overlayed.. but ultimately the actual game shouldnt look too much worse than it. Thing is, it doesnt really matter until we see in-game footage.

Looks awesome though hope it plays better than it looks. Too many games have good graphics and poor gameplay. One hit wonders in the game world.
