Project Reality 2 will be a free to play multiplayer game, based off of the critically acclaimed Project Reality modification for Battlefield 2. PR2 will be a complete standalone game, which will require no retail game to play.

Project Reality 2 is being developed and created from scratch, using Crytek's next generation game engine, CryEngine 3 SDK. It will provide the development team the tools to be able to create many stunning features to help recreate and improve upon what you as Project Reality players have been accustomed to for the past 8 years. The PR2 team is aiming to create the most realistic, immersive, and demanding shooter within a virtual combat environment.

 

Listed below is a quick list of Frequently Asked Questions that are commonly posed to the PR Team:

 

(1) What is PR2? What will set it apart from other indie titles? - PR2 will be a tactical team based combined arms first person shooter. The same thing will set it apart from other titles that have always set PR apart ... the focus on cooperation and team based strategy and an attention to realistic military detail.

(2) Will PR2 be free, or if not, what is the business model? (Will there be a Kickstarter campaign?) - The idea is for PR2 to be free; however this may change in the light of circumstance or unavoidable realities. A Kickstarter campaign is certainly not ruled out, but it would require a great deal of thought and planning and would not be entered into lightly. At the end of the day, delivering a high quality product is the ultimate aim, however that is achieved.

(3) Will PR2 try to emulate the gameplay of PR:BF2, or will an entirely new style of gameplay be developed? What'll be the main differences between PR2 and PR? - Yes PR2 will be emulating the gameplay of PR:BF2 (and PR:Arma2/3). It's a tried and tested formula that people enjoy (and it wouldn't be PR if we just made up something else). The main differences between PR and PR2 will be the ability to implement functionality that simply wasn't possible with modding hard coded engines and the focus on next generation graphics that CE3 brings.

(4) Will PR2 be released in phases with content and features added as time goes by or will the first iteration or release will be complete (updates notwithstanding)? - It will most definitely be released in phases. Successive iterations, with small alpha or beta releases so that gameplay and functionality can be tested in a proper environment. That is why, certainly for a long time in the beginning, we intend it to be free.

(5) Which factions and gameplay elements will be included in the first playable version? What is the scope of the project? - We don't really want to go into saying what will be first, or what will be included, since past experience (in BF2 and Arma mods) has shown that you cannot always deliver what you promise when working on a free project. Suffice to say we will be looking to implement most of the world's major military forces, and as always we will be drawing on current conflicts to stage our theatre of battle in. Small steps at first of course.

(6) Will there be (eventually) CO-OP and SP modes? - There is no real intention for this. It may happen down the line, but there are no promises. PR's focus has always been on team based PvP ... and that is most certainly all we will be focusing on at the start. But we won't rule SP out.

(7) How many players will be supported? - Since the player cap got lifted from the CE3 SDK, the answer is "as many as possible". However a real limit in terms of a functional result is something we have yet to ascertain.

(8) Will there be positional VoIP, will Mumble be integrated? - Positional VOIP most definitely. Although we haven't looked at this yet, an external 3rd party solution would be the last choice and only turned to if it was impossible to do in the CE3 engine as it stands. There is no need to add extra layers of complexity to something just for the sake of it.

(9) Who is the PR2 team? Are the PR2 Devs the same R-DEVs known from PR:BF2 or PR:ArmA3? - Some are RDEVs from the mod team, some aren't. It's a mix up of different backgrounds. In the main though, most of the devs all have an enthusiasm for playing PR (or are encouraged to develop such enthusiasm !)

(10) Will PR2 be a PC-only title? - Yes. Certainly for the foreseeable future. For it to be otherwise would most definitely mean it would have to be a commercial game.

(11) How can I contribute? Is there a way to help out? - People who have (good) modeling skills and CE3 experience are definitely wanted. As are good coders with C++ and Lua experience, and if not experienced with working with CE3 ... have experience with large code bases. They need only contact [R-DEV]Twisted Helix or Foxhound. We do expect to see portfolios or examples of previous work though.

Some form of bullet deprivation will be in the game though."

Klingt ja schon mal ganz ordentlich.

[R.est I.n H.ell 540]

Wie wollen sie das ohne Kohle machen? Die machen das doch auch nicht "for the greater Good"?

€: Das wundert mich bei der Mod bereits.

[Gast]

Sehr groß wird der kommerzielle Markt für das Game nicht sein, und F2P Elemente wird man schwer integrieren können ohne das ganze Balancing zu zerlegen. Ich denke deswegen es ist eine Standalone Mod, die von und für die paar Leute gemacht die diese Art des Gameplay`s mögen.

[Dayjay 790]

Eine Sache verstehe ich nicht: Arbeiten die DEVs jetzt mit dem FreeSDK (3.5.8) oder mit der "richtigen" Engine die es z.B. auf Steam gibt?

 

Das die mit dem FreeSDK angefangen haben weiß ich aber sind sie mittlerweile geswitcht? Das FreeSDK ist tot (und beschissen).

[hall0 1.757]

 Ich kann mir überhaupt nicht vorstellen wie das Game als F2P funktionieren soll.

 

Es gibt ja keinen Forschungsbaum, wo man als zahlender Nutzer nu schneller durch kommen würde ohne das Balance zu zerstören. Und sowas wie, nur Zahlende Kundschaft darf Panzer etc fahren oder Sniper etc spielen geht ja mal gar nicht.

[gekko434 1.475]

Es sei denn, es wird non profit.

 

Außerdem gibt es in PR doch bestimmt genug Leute, die blechen würden, um das Logo ihrer Einheit auf ihren Uniformen zu sehen. Dann noch ein paar Veteranen Player Models dazu und ab dafür.

[Striker 75]

Klingt soweit gut, hoffe aber das sie nach wie vor Teamplay erzwingen. Zuviel Customization will ich auch nicht, es soll schon nach einheitlicher Armee aussehen. Commander find ich eigentlich ein Must Have.

 

Das mit den Zivilisten klingt seeehr interessant, darauf bin ich gespannt wie sie es umsetzen.

 

Ich würde auch lieber auch 10-20€ bezahlen, anstatt F2P. Insurgency und andere Mods machen es vor, zwar sinken dort die Spielerzahlen, aber wenn PR2 wirklich so Teamplayorientiert wird wie jetzt zu BF2 Zeiten, dann wirds ne große Spielergemeinschaft geben

[Kantholz 679]

wie die einfach dreisst die BF2 Statics verwenden (zumindest in dem Muttrah City Dummy) - warscheinlich konvertiert oder so

[Keldysh 331]

Mit F2P versteht Ihr sicher das *offiziel-gratis-aber-tatsächlich-doch-nicht-gratis* - Bezahlmodell.

 

Project Reality war als Mod für BF2 ja nie F2P in diesem Sinne, es war RF2P (REALLY Free to Play). Die Cry-Engine darf, wenn ich mich jetzt richtig erinnere, für lau genutzt werden so der Nutzer damit keine kommerziellen Interessen verfolgt, also so wie mit der PR2-Mod für Battlefield. Das sie das für ne kommerzielle Anwedung lizensieren glaube ich nicht.

 

Dann ergibt sich auch nicht die Notwendigkeit Kompromisse im Gamedesign wegen irgentwelcher Unlocks und ähnlichem Pipapo zu machen. Und auch kein Pseudo-Rollenspielansatz wo man wieder was grinden muss. Einfach das ausrüsten was man brauch auch was der Gamemechanik nach verfügbar ist.

sobal die mehr als wie viel war das ? 10000 mal PR verkauft habe (wenns kostet) müssen die eine volumenlizenz kaufen!
