OpFlash: Red River - First Footage


Codemasters are slowly pushing the hype machine into higher gears for the release of Operation Flashpoint: Red River, which is due in the second quarter of next year. This is the first chance we've had to see of the revamped engine in action. It's looking rather pretty - vast, lavish landscapes being the thing that the previous Operation Flashpoint did best. We hear word that Codies learned from some of the mistakes of that game, however, and are working hard to make missions more interesting this time around. Anyway, go take a look. The trailer below is all in-engine, although generally not actual game footage, and features some peculiar narration. Notice how it starts off as some kind of speech about brothers in arms, and then veers off into pseudo-political commentary. Odd.
