I like how, even though it's been a while, I've forgotten his name, and it's next-gen, I still recognise the face of the crawling soldier in the 1st scan.

Ironically that soldier is Cpl. Sam Corrion. He's the character that I voice.

is BIA 3 using unreal 3 engine? those screenshots look fantastic!

Yep, Unreal 3 for sure. I just hope valve can hold their own with whatever they work on next. I mean Unreal and Epic are great and all but I'd rather not see the entire Industry end up using the same engine, no matter how promising it looks now.

Well I never, I had no idea you voiced him!

I should read game credits more often.

Thank you Thrik. Because if you didn't, I was going to. And then mikey would hit me with a rolled up newspaper.

Wasn't Brothers in Arms a Dire Straits album... am I missing some obvious ACDC connection here?

[TomWithTheWeather]

Yeah its a Dire Straights album and ACDC song. It's also a western. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439504/

Looking good over all, I went and found some non-fuzzy scans on, uh, I think Blues News.

Just some comments/critiques if I may. On the characters mostly. The faces seem a little "pillowy" - I don't know. They seem too rounded and perhaps not grimey enough? I really like the one with the reddened circles under his eyes and the dirty face, but the top pic with the chap you voice, Mikey, he's vastly too clean and also has a funny thing going on with the shape of his jaw, but perhaps it's just the angle. The world on the whole seems like it could be toned down saturation-wise too, but that's just personal preference.

Overall though, great work, lookin' hot on the Unreal 3 engine. Curious to see some footage of it all in action sooner than later!

I'm not terribly certain, but I know that ACDC has a song that has "Highway to Hell" in the chorus at the very least.

/me slaps head.

And yes, Brothers in Arms was a Dire Straits album. I downloaded it a few weeks ago (the last track is phenominal) and felt wierd about pirating something called Brothers in Arms because all the other downlaod links were the game.

I also saw scans with better resolution (over here: http://www.playerone.be/galleries/gal_b ... n=bia4.jpg ) and I must say the levels look beautiful!

On the other hand the characters look like Toy Soldiers, probably because of the points Posty mentioned.

Omai, I always used Corrion for tough tasks cuz he kicked so much ass , my fav character

OMG UR ON IMDB!1! *faints*

Anyway, I agree with the characters part, but thats just because the levels looks so good that they stand out, for example on these ones they look kinda weird :G

But I'm sure it will look better altogether when its ingame with all that facial animation stuff going on. Also Market Garden is definitily one of the most interesting parts of the european campaign, those small dutch gardens with small walls are just so luvlay

someone upload that photo of him drunk! quick!

Sharp shadows do not belong in a next gen game. There is also something about the characters which I do not like, I can't spot what it is though - might also just be the bad scans.
