Any thoughts or consideration on adding a turn based replay into the game? I know this is not Combat Mission but I believe if this was programmed in that you could potentially gain a lot of customers to the series.
Andrey mentioned once that graviteam wasn't interested in adding any software to the game that would compete with the memory intensive graphics already being used in GTOS and if memory capability did increase in the standard PC they would use that extra memory to increase the graphics and add more units to a battle instead of replay capture software.
I use bandi cam during some battles and noticed a big hit on my FPS when it's on.
Turns in GTOS for a campaign or battle are anywhere from 30 mins to 3 hours x any other battles that may occur during that 4 hour turn that the game mainly represents during a campaign. This game doesn't do the 2 min turn sequence that CM allows and i've often wondered if that replay option in CM is why they can never improve their graphics.
GTOS has a pause feature which allows you stop the game at anytime and even uses a time stamp to click on to take your camera to any hot spot on the battlefield to set up shots for any 3rd party video capture software you add to your PC programs and is the closest you're going to get to replay with this game in its present mode. The game also allows you to lock the camera on individual soldiers,vehicles and guns.
Another thing to consider is this game is a real time simulation and not 2 min turns, and a huge allure for me and others to this game is the fact that you as the commander are operating in real time and aren't privy to every single battlefield occurance and have to act only with the information you have on hand at that particular moment and this extra fog of war adds plenty of real time suspense to the game that you wouldn't get from a 2 min turn game.
This debate was brought up once before about 2 years ago and Andrey nixed the idea, and I've not seen anything posted here since then that leaves me to believe Graviteam has changed their mind about adding a replay option to this game.
