VBS -Explain.

[Sid]

This new game that is coming out, VBS, I have a few questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:

-Will this take another 5 years to develope? (lol)
-Hmm, these graphics look awfully Familiar, hey, will this be for OFP? (Goto thier main page and look at there 3rd Picture, THATS OFP'S WATER!!)
-I do realize this game takes place in 1885, but why'd you make all the good stuff for VBS?


-And why are you developing the game on the OFP Engine? I can see how, it's free to you, and the enoumous amount of freedom.. but still, why?

(If you notice the jet in picutre 3 on thier site, the water they show is OFP's water!)



Please explain to me this game, for I am curous, and I'll listen.

It's a military simulator for the military.

I don't think VBS is a game. It's a combat simulation for military use only. Maybe we'll see some stuff from it implemented in OFP(2??). They took the Steyr-Aug from it already. But I don't think it's ment to be released for all to buy

NoToR out

There's the RTS game, Real War out now, that was developed for the US Military, and now it's out for the public. ***It's not exactly the same as the military version (I think Real War has more units or something), but it was released none the less.

VBS could be the same, maybe in a few years, after the military finds some new simulator to use, then maybe it will be turned into a commercial product.

But OFP IS the game variant of the military sim VBS...

[Die Alive]

So maybe they'll release more units from VBS to the OFP world, or release it as a sequal or something.

BTW, who's armies are using VBS? I'm too lazy to go to the site and find out, if it's there.

It says USMC on the main page (US Marine Corps I think).

[Dawdler]

Do the USMC use Steyer? And I think I saw some other quite non US weaponry there.
