Ok, there's another thread on BF 2142 but I decided this warranted a seperate discussion since it concerns the supposed leaked video of 2142 that's been floating around on the net. here goes my analysis...
Has anyone seen the supposed leak video of BF 2142 on youtube( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoYYUp_PXCY )? A few people were saying it was actually a FMV from an old PSX game called Future Cop. I have never played that game and cannot comment on that, but I must say that alot of the stuff that is shown and heard in that video seems very consistent with the BF2 engine. The lighting, the shadows, the way the soldiers run (notice the second guy reloading). Also, I do not think that PSX era CG can look that good. I just got done playing Tekken 3 a couple days ago which is the creme de la creme of CG FMV's on PSX and was kind of shocked at how bad the CG looked compared to the real time rendering of the top game engines of our time.
One of the most impressive things that seems like a dead giveaway to me that this is really the next BF is the doppler effect that you hear when the mech and the hovercraft thingies go past the camera. You can test this out with an attack chopper and do a fly by with the stationary camera while firing the auto cannon. The results are strikingly similiar. Different sound effects, but it definitly sounds like the same code was used to achieve the doppler effect to me. You can even see the empty shells from the mech falling towards the camera (like bf2s choppers)!
Another thing to point out is that DICE games has pretty much run out of wars to fight. I don't think many people wanna pack gun powder in their muzzleloaders after every shot in BF: Civil War. The logical next step is to create a futuristic game. Not only that, but DICE has some serious competition coming up in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. DICE took Valve head-on with BF2 and now they are ready to take on ID software.
Now, I may just be speculating and this is really just an FMV from an old crappy game. In that case, I hope someone will come foward with a rip of the exact FMV that this is supposed to be (zophar.net for necessary tools) or at the very least confirm that they have seen the exact same FMV.
