Project Reality: Torrent-Release der Version 0.9

Die zweite ganz große News am Dienstag ist die Veröffentlichung der heiß erwarteten Version 0.9 von Project Reality (PR), die seit der Nacht als passwortgeschützter Torrent zur Verfügung steht. Angesichts der Gesamtgröße von weit über drei Gigabyte wurde die Datei in zwei Teile gespalten. Die frühe Veröffentlichung erfolgt um den Ansturm am Freitag (05.02) möglichst gering zu halten. An diesem Tag erfolgt um zehn Uhr die Veröffentlichung des Passworts für den Torrent über eine spezielle Seite und die Bereitstellung der normalen Dateien. Serverfiles für PR müssen auch weiterhin beim Team beantragt werden.

Project Reality 0.9 Torrent Part 1 (1867MB) Project Reality 0.9 Torrent Part 2 (1714MB)

Kein Patch, epischer Trailer

Wie es in den Hinweisen zu der neuen Version heißt, wird es keinen Patch für die aktuelle Ausgabe geben. Spieler müssen also in jedem Fall die beiden neuen Dateien herunterladen. Bei der Installation wird die alte Version automatisch entfernt. Zur Überbrückung der Wartezeit bietet sich der Trailer zur Version 0.9 an, bei dem die Devs der Realismusmod sich einiges bei den Filmern von DICE abgeschaut haben. Ganz wie in den Trailern zu BF43 und BFBC2 gibt es erst einmal eine Sammlung von Zitaten großer Spielemagazine, bevor es bei der Vorstellung der neuen Inhalte richtig zur Sache geht:

IDF, Canada und Hamas

Wie am Trailer ersichtlich wird, sind in Version 0.9 nicht nur die Russen als neue Fraktion enthalten, sondern auch die Israel Defense Force (IDF), die Hamas und die kanadische Armee. Angekündigt wurden diese Fraktionen bereits vorab durch die Vorstellung neuer Karten durch Entwickler Deer. Im Forum von PR hat dieser während der letzten Tage zwei Threads zu seinen Karten Beirut (IDF vs RU, AAS) und Yamalia (CF vs RU, AAS, CNC, Vehicle Warfare) veröffentlicht, denen Fans der Mod auf jeden Fall einen Besuch abstatten sollten. Einige der Bilder aus der Vorstellung haben wir der News angehängt.

Gameplay, Soundtrack und weitere Änderungen

Neben den drei neuen Fraktionen enthält der Release viele weitere Änderungen, Neuerungen und Verbesserungen. Eine vollständige Übersicht ist der (englischen) Liste auf Seite 2 der News zu entnehmen. Zusätzlich zu dieser vollständigen Übersicht finden sich im Forum von PR noch einzelne Threads in denen detailliert auf die Änderungen im Gameplay und den neuen Sound eingegangen wird. Ein Besuch lohnt sich in beiden Fällen. Der Gameplay-Thread von dbzao ist neben der Erklärung der einzelnen Punkte mit weiteren Bildern angereichert, der Beitrag zum Soundtrack enthält einen knapp zehn Minuten langen Zusammenschnitt der Musik als YouTube-Video.
