Tray confirm esamir is not just on papers , but actually under construction at the momment looking good :D

[Goku]

Looking forward to seeing this! I always liked the snow conts in PS.

[Mirror]

hopefully we will see Esamir shortly after beta launches.

[Sledgecrushr]

Good work Stew 8 )

[Lorgarn]

Sweet having it confirmed although I suspected as much. They've been saying 3 continents for launch for quite some time now. They wouldn't do that unless they felt they could pull it off with having the contents polished enough for OBT/Launch.

Can't wait to see WIP/BTS pics. of it though. ^^

[Pyreal]

Eh? I saw Esamir last night. We were stomping the NC.

[Oryon22]

With all the detail that went into Indar, Essamir and Amerish are going to be incredible.

[Hamma]

I got to see Amerish under construction while I was at SOE it's going to be good times. :D

Chew, if only I could see what you've seen with your eyes! (Guess the reference):p

[Xyntech]

Snowy environments look pretty awesome in modern games, so I think Esamir is going to be better than ever.

[Sabot]

Wouldn't it be cool if the inside of a bio dome is the opposite climate of whatever it is outside for whatever reason.. :D That way you might get some variation in scenery if you're stuck on one cont for a long period ^^

I heard that exact question before and i'm sure higby said that they were doing it, or it's in or it's a good idea.I may of course be just dreaming i heard that lol.

[Dreamcast]

Snow Storms.

lol I was being... semi-serious with it tbh. But that's awesome if they're looking into it for real ^^

I honestly can't remember where i heard that, maybe someone else did? .. because if not, then i'm not going to trust my thought's anymore :cry:

[Canaris]

ahh that explains all the sawing and hammering coming from TRays office.

[DviddLeff]

I am right in recalling that Esamir has an urban area on it, more so than Indar?

[Landtank]

Yep, they said it will have urban ruins, more so than the other continents. Heres to hoping! Urban continents would be a dream come true :cheers:

Unfortunately that doesn't make much sense, I wouldn't count on it.

[Shogun]

i don´t think i got the right reference, but when hamma said it, i was thinking: being hamma malcovic ;)

Unfortunately that doesn't make much sense, I wouldn't count on it.

it makes a lot of sense.

what purpose has a closed biodome?
to create a different atmosphere from the surroundings!

[aleksandrgrc]

u got my vote for a stalingrad-ish winter urban ruins. or a jungle grow over of ruins. and my second is do away with caves if ever in the future its decided to make one and go for the inside of a leviathan/hulk spacestation instead. unless said caves are actually part of the above contenent.

[demonicale]

Unfortunately that doesn't make much sense, I wouldn't count on it.

Well they exsist, which is what i've been saying, i remember hearing it somewhere about PS2

[Shogun]

i´m all for space stations instead of the old caves!

but caverns who are part of the continent would be cool. could add a lot of vertical fun!
maybe something strange, like cenotes (do a google picture search please), those big mysterious waterholes in the maya jungle. just without too much water in them, to support more combat-room. or with water if naval battle and submarines are introduced ;)

[aleksandrgrc]

speaking of vertical fun, iv always wanted a area in a combat game where the environment was not to unlike the newest transformers movies concept of cybertron. but instead of the honeycomb techno a rocky/volcanic skin.

[Baneblade]

I'm hoping Ceryshan is as dark, gloomy, and foreboding as always. I also hope it gets a unique base that has a global benefit... because it will be avoided otherwise.

[ChipMHazard]

Hehe sorry, no dice. Think Harrison Ford and dystopian future. :p

[Akrasjel Lanate]

Cool, that the second continent they making soo far ?

[Shogun]

i would like to know if the same team is working on all continents, or if some zones are mainly made by different devs? this would add some more diversity, because no designer works the same way.

[Geist]

I get the impression they focus on 1 continent at a time. You'd think we would have got some screenshots if all the conts were around the same level of completion.

@Lanate Hamma says they were working on Amerish when he was at SOE HQ, so Esamir is probably the third and final continent(for launch).

[Russ]

Cool, that the second continent they making soo far ?

Or the third if they already made Amerish. But yes its Indar, Esamir and Amerish.

Im actually praying they already did Amerish. They did release the concept art before Esamir.

[Sabot]

Unfortunately that doesn't make much sense, I wouldn't count on it.

Doesn't make sense why the Mag don't have a rotatable main armament with a dedicated gunner either... but there ya go ;D

Seriosuly though. Like I said I was only semi-serious about it... I tihnk it'd be pretty neat, but if they don't want it it's no biggie. I would even accept a "Nah... just can't be bothered doing it", as a reason not to.

[Zalmoxis]

PLEASE let ice/frost/snow have a real impact on gameplay beside making vehicles/max's slide a bit! Would be awesome if they implemented some sort of effect on the soldiers as well!

As fun as that would be, I feel like it would melt computers if it was implemented. Company of Heroes 2 is doing a system like you described, but that's on a much smaller scale.

[Xaine]

I'm just excited because its been said its a Cont that is made up of a ruined city.. so lots of buildings everywhere.. streets..

Think of the fights...

I can't wait.

Not really, friction is a variable that even PS1's engine could do... They set vehicles to 0 friction after all (they weren't originally).

[Soothsayer]

San Diego is pretty far from the arctic. I think that SOE should bring on some Canadian consultants for this one.

[Bags]

Well they exsist, which is what i've been saying, i remember hearing it somewhere about PS2

What is the point of making a biodome and having the same environment indoors as outdoors?

[sameer]

Im waiting most for the jungle continent. Im worried that its going to be light tree cover and shrubs and plain land. I want to crysis type of forest.

[Zalmoxis]

Yeah, adding a bit of slide for vehicles and such isn't too hard, and I doubt that adding an effect for infantry is a strain either. After all, it's just a stat/variable. They already made so much already, it would be a shame not to continue on this awesome path.

[Landtank]

That's fine, but I thought he meant more along the lines of deep snow slowing down vehicles etc.

@Bags, I don't think that's what he originally posted?

probably amerish forest will be similar to thats i think

[Gonefshn]

I don't think amerish will be that tropical. They have stated it is more of a scottish highlands feel.

google image that shit.

[Sephirex]

What if in the Jungle continent the biodomes are like snow domes?:eek:
The idea was so non-sensical I had to put it forth. :doh:

That is inside of a biolab on Indar.

After a day of patrolling around in a hot, wet, insect infested, jungle... you'd wanna escape and cool off in a cold, barren, tundra dome too!

[Stew]

Alredy know thats lol ,

iam expecting to see some part of the amerish jungle looking like this , with some more bigger tree and lianas and a part with swamp !

[Hmr85]

Glad to see its under construction. I kind of figured it already was. This just only confirms it.

[capiqu]

Would be nice for e section of Esamir to be high lands with dangerous cliffs like Ceryshen was. This could even be the TR section of Esamir.

[Faarooq]

reading your tweet to T almost made my head explode

[Electrofreak]

Eh? I saw Esamir last night. We were stomping the NC.

Yeah, but that was AFTER we stomped everyone else and locked the cont. :p

[Stew]

reading your tweet to T almost made my head explode

No ones cares about what you think ;)

[Inverness]

I'd really love it if weather could have an effect on vehicles. It would be pretty nice if vehicles could get damaged or ice over or whatever due to very cold temperatures, along with sliding due to ice on bridges or things like that.
