Rising Storm 2 Vietnam announced.

Yes!

Definitely on my buy list. Reminds me I should fire up RO2/RS again.

To avoid any confusion, this has no relation to the In Country: Vietnam mod by Pop Smoke for RO2 which is now a standalone game being rebuilt on UE4. In Country is said to return to the roots of RO. Coupled with UE4 over UE3 for Rising Storm 2 makes me believe it will be the better game.

RS2 will no doubt suffer from the mainstream Battlefieldized design decisions... plus the down right awkward stuff. Like the guy who gets shot in the corner of the screen making your vision desaturated. My only fear is TWI's brand recognition and a possibly earlier release may pull the market away from In Country. :(

Old In Country trailer from when it was a mod for RO2:

Not a fan of the helis to be honest. With luck it will be a better game than RO2. But the graphics just look terrible for a modern game, but that is to be expected for an indie UE3 game. BF3/4 has spoiled me.
 
They need to spend the money on the actual music from that time, the soundtrack for that is *terrible*

I used to work as a college radio DJ for a few weeks. If you listened to some of the lesser known bands from that era, you'd know that there was a lot of that type of music from that era. I think musicians from the 1960's had great thoughts on the opening bars to a song, writer's cramp set in, got high, and that was the result. :)

The bands that we remember like Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Dick Dale and the Del Tones, etc were truly talented. You always have to make a space for the one hit wonders also. They sold plenty of albums also and only had one good song.

 
I liked battlefield bad company 2 vietnam pack. I will likely get this, its my favorite era for these types of shooters.
 
It does look kind of awful. The game play counts for more imo. Still, there are limits. I think it is right on the edge of acceptable. The heavy jungle seems to look better than being out in the open for some reason. Dismemberment certainly is a plus though. Soldier of Fortune RIP!

The soundtrack for BFV was amazing and how it should be done.
 
signed up...

Although anyone else think the graphics and models looks kinda meh?
 
After playing a bit of BF1, I agree. My hopes are high for this game.

Cod does not count even register.
 
Can't wait for this one. Something between BF and Arma - much more realistic than BF but not overly so like Arma (I do love both Arma and BF but they also both annoy me - BF is overly simplistic in some key areas while Arma has overly clunky controls and the engine is a mess, mostly because of choices made to accommodate realism). While the graphics don't look amazing I'm fine with that and I hope that this means it will run butter smooth (being UE3, it should...). Also love Vietnam era - and CHOPPERS. The attack helicopter gameplay totally sold me on the game.

I loved the original Red Orchestra game even though I sucked at it.
 
Same. Looks like it is going back to the roots a bit which is a good thing. Though the graphics are certainly dated. After playing BF4 for so long the characters in RS2 just look horrible. Gameplay matters most, but I wish they had a bigger budget for this.
 
now that was a pleasant surprise !



I expected much less when the devs confirmed that you can actually pilot choppers in-game - given the UE 3.5's limitations
shame that there will be no Cobra vs Hind fights since vietnamese forces are also confirmed to have 0 air support.

looking forward to the next wave of beta invites :)
 
wave 2 is live, no invite for me yet :/ :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If1U2zOacR0

only 3 hours in but i really like it so far, lots of obvious -and not so obvious bugs but the foundation is there

fine balance between realism and cod-ness - check

satisfying gunplay - check

immersive soundscape + proper soundmix for headphones - check

assymetric battles - check


go tripwire :D
 
Jealous I am.

Yourself you may go fuck!

Cheers. Hope this one is good. Not even bothering with bf1 ATM.
 
Whew. Game is a bit rough on the eyes. Did not enjoy it. I will try again when I am not tired. Could be good. Squad is similar though and better imo.
 
I will say that as a team game it could be good. The arty strikes were devastating. Game has potential. You just die a bit too easily. Ho chi mihn map was fucking stupid. I never even saw an enemy. Just died every time I came out of spawn. Jungle map was pretty good.
