Operation Flashpoint 2

The question about dumbing it down for cross platform compatability did come up, they said quite simply that they were not going to be reducing any PC functionality to support a console. Also said they werent going to keep the game simple, they were going to do their jobs properly and not skimp on any detail of battlefield management.
 
This is going to be a killer game! As in a rig killer ;) Can't wait, big fan of the original and ArmA also, but I expect this to be a different kettle of fish to OPF as it was Bohemia who did that originally. I take it it's a 2009 release?

Maybe I've missed it, but did you actually see any in-game footage? or was it just them talking?
 
PC Gamer had a really big article saying the full version will be designed for PC and pared down for the consoles because the developers understand what the Flashpoint community wants
 
Pretty narrow-minded approach don't you think? It could have a completely seperate development team to that working on the console version.

Too many games (and especially sequels) I have been looking forward to have been ruined by "mainstreaming" for the console kiddies. End result is always simplified game systems, reduced realism, and worst of all a GUI that looks like it was designed for a three year old.
 
Thanks for the link to the conference video bingham, well I am really looking forward to this now, all my worries have been addressed, the detail looks fantastic I just wanna see some ingame video now :).
