It's funny, if I saw this in a film I'd say the CGI wasn't quite convincing but this is apparently actually what a massive helicopter in a rice field looks like.
Something about this shot specifically though, because other images of the scene don't give me that vibe.
I think it's the lighting/color grading from the sun being near its zenith, combined with the point of view. Makes it look like something that was rendered with ambient occlusion and contact shadows turned off.
Edit : also it just looks like a typical isometric game's viewing angle
It's very XCOM/Xenonauts for sure.
Isn't it rather the Ambulance for scale?
It still works if you remove it or even the entire bottom half
Looks like an isometric game, like Project Zomboid.
edit: isometric not isotropic lol
Desert Strike was so much fun once you ignore all the propaganda its peddling.
Was this a dos game? It looks so very familiar.
Desert Strike for the SNES, though possibly on other systems/PC too
Definitely on Genesis
Wow the viewing angles and lighting are spot on !
My first throught, looks like modded zomboid
Probably due to the scale provided by people and emergency vehicles.
