Well thats the rest of my day filled then.

Fantastic to see the thinking behind the Damocles video.

What happened? The OP disappeared!

 

[Ashley Barley]

Sorry, I was meddling.

 

[Maxeren]

Can't see video.. getting youtube error

 

[Listeri69]

The Eagle insert is awesome and apparently it IS a plasma cannon

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

I just upgraded to digital download pack and look what's coming. Nice one David, and that's TED presentation is nicely done too.

 

[Oss133]

This is excellent news! I can another dose of B's today. YAY!

 

[Sir.Tj]

Sorry Ashley, I was a bit premature again.

No comments please this is a family forum.

 

[Philip Coutts]

The little insert with the landing sidewinder, eagle and the eagles weapons being uncovered looked really interesting. The rest of that video is obviously outstanding and as ever some nice insights from DB

 

[Susimetsa]

A great look behind the scenes of that video, but the glimpse of Cobra MK III was perhaps the peak of the entire experience!

Just in time for lunch

Had hoped david would explain the warp effect in more detail and if it is how it will work ingame

But otherwise very very cool video.. good to get some explaination of post effects etc.

He said that he will say those things that are NOT in game. Wrap effect wasn't one of them, so I guess IT'S IN

Perhaps.. just in need of a confirmation of somehow.. like "this is how warp will look ingame".. would be great

Pointless exercise for me.... Just a re-run of the Capital Ship video... No subtitles/captions and no-one in-vision to lipread so I have no idea what is being said... Massive thumbs down from me at the moment

EDIT : To be fair it is still very nice to look at and some great stuff in there but I want to 'KNOW' about it as well.

I'll watch the video this evening

You should probably fast forward to the 6:29 mark at least...

Another great dev diary!

 

[PaoloMariani]

Oh my, the video is even better after David tells us what we're looking at. The attention to detail seems superb.
I can only hope that as much work has gone into the gameplay as into the little things that give added depth to the game...

To be honest, you haven't really missed that much by not being able to hear / understand it. He mentions a couple of things that were added in post , like lens flare, heat distortion in the fires or explosions, the HUD etc. The HUD apparently looks even better now in game. He mentioned that there is still lots of things not included in the video, like particle effects, heat vents rising. Not really a lot info. The Art video should contain a better / broader range of information though.
