Game Patches & Updates

1.31 - More Than Just Eyecandy (New Feature Revealed!)

I like eye candy. It makes it easier to sink yourself into a game and for a few hours, transport you to a different place and time. Graphics, sounds and special effects are major contributors towards that "suspension of reality" feeling you get from good games. We have long been criticized for neglecting the look of the game in favour of mechanics and so, here comes v1.31 and now there are rumblings that this is nothing but a "lipstick" pass on WWII Online. New buildings, new trees, ragdoll effects, weather & rain... it's all just eye candy, isn't it? Nope.

PLAYER FORUM FEEDBACK

SUN GLARE?

Friday, 06 November 2009

Todays question comes from Doom in The Hangar: "What are the chances of a revisit to sun glare? I have been playing plenty of Arma2, Rise of Flight and DCS: Black Shark... all have substantial sun glare and associated tactics stemming from it. Can you comment on challenges facing the current build of BE:Europe and the implementation of a meaningful sun?"
