Looks great, although a lot still to fix / tune so it seems.

[Woutske]

Yeah, emergency units seem to have no collision enabled so they can go thru each other. Will probably be fixed soon.

Yeah..I also noticed at around 9 minutes the firetruck went right through the doctors car.

A few things I've noticed also...

• The flying camera scenes on the intro are similar to the ones from EM2012 and the 2 games after that.
• The helicopter flyby is a reference to the TEC helicopters in the EM4 tutorial.
• @ 1:23....an airship?! Cool!!!
• The vehicle move command appears to rely on rectangles on the road instead of letting us choose a point in the road like EM4
• Vehicle lighting system seems good. Wont judge it though till we get to see the editor
• Equipment doors on firetruck open up as soon as crew disembarks. Same with doctors car.
• Firefighter actually has to remove the person from the wrecked car
• I actually laughed when the firetruck turned around in place....
  
  Overall, looks very promising!

Regarding what raf said, I certainly agree that it will take time for us to learn how to make EM5 as good as modded EM4 because as it stands now, stock EM5 is gameplay wise as good as stock EM4.

Reshaping the mod wouldnt take much time if what they say about the map editor is true. Vehicles and objects would be the challenge though seeing as how we would need to HEAVILLY modify most existing content for it to work in EM5. At least the models in mods like the RCMP, Manhattan and Brooklyn mods are detailed enough for them to be put into the game without causing a noticeable gap in quality compared to the content in EM5.

From what I can see, to convert vehicles, we probably need to make the vehicles alpha mapping, specular mapping and bump mapping (apart from getting the 3d model into the game). This is just basic texture work that most modders can probably do. This appears to be a necessary step seing as how other RTS games of this genre rely on those maps to make their vehicles appear more detailed then they actually are since newer gen games use pixel shader effects.

Person skins would all have to be created from scratch seeing as how the new game uses different, more detailed models than EM4.

Objects would be similar to vehicles I guess, seing as how they are only background items.

Houses would be different though because we would need to model their interiors and walls for them to be functional in EM5.

I wont hold my breath with scripting because we dont actually know yet how the new scripting language works.

 

I am actually kind of worried because they have only mentioned the editor for the map and nothing about making actual mods. Hope they do not screw us over. As for bump and spec maps, I doubt this game is up there in graphics and the level of detail you can see on something from the camera angle, I doubt requires them.

Is it me or did we sorta lose some control over vehicles we had in emergency 4? Where did the panels go where we can put our fancy custom vehicle functions such as siren toggle, lights toggle?

[Kingairway]

Hoping they release the English version at the same time, im optimistic they will because of how much attention the game has gotten from the North American/ South and English EU community.

I heard people say it but i have yet to see if from deep sliver them self. 

 

And if you look here.  There no announcement for the game here it all  http://www.deepsilver.com/us/home/

So sorry until I see an official announcement from Deepsilver that the game will be release oct 30 in USA in english.  I am not going to believe it.   Because the track record of EM games in past says it general 6 months or longer before it comes to usa.

Yeah, I don't know how much will take until the game it's released on the USA, but here's a email from a user in this forum which says that the game will be in English at the first release. http://forum.emergen...ish-translation I hope that it's true.

Yes I seen which is why I said, NO official word on USA English release.  Anyone can copy and paste what they claim is email to thread.   At this point there been zero OFFICIAL announcement on English for the USA.

Tomorrow i have a meeting with Serbay (CM of sixteen tons entertainment). Maybe he has some official infos a little earlier.
