liquidpinky 11 Posted May 8, 2011 No way :butbut:,Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, the world will change. Why dream, ever heard of NVIDIA 3D or iZ3D ? What is new for consoles isn't new on PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shay_gman 272 Posted May 8, 2011 Well what I meant is that it probably doesn't involve 3D but it will make an impact on ArmA world just as much as 3D gaming did to 2D. I personally sure that it will involve new physics and probably it will be bigger then a campaign or DLC. But I'll hush for now and wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slatts 1978 Posted May 8, 2011 could it be that the "world" means the arma community? maybe our world will change due to a new engine possibly? could a new level of destruction change our "world" by adding more realism? could the map of europe mean ultra large maps will play a part?

Reezo 45 Posted May 8, 2011 I quote the above. There was a simple ball smashing a wall as part of the multimedia material promoting PhysX-powered environments (actually the wall-smashing video is probably the most famous or easy to remember). So I quote myself once again. Destructible environments and increased physics. I don't think I could wish for more, only it is a dangerous dream :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnowSky 12 Posted May 8, 2011 what would physx mean overall? ragdoll animations, no jumping tanks? wouldnt they have to change all the objects and modells for this? Ageia PhysX for example has an own Hardware (you can, but you don't have to own) that calculates advanced physical calculations. I remember some Ubisoft Games like Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior etc. used this as physics engine. Well it depends on the interfaces they get from the physX Engine - Maybe they'd have to do a lot of work to become the game compatible with the API. But if they did it with VBS2, why not also with ArmA2? P.S.: I can't assure that there is correct even just a bit I write. This is how I understood the whole thing, please correct me if you know it better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OB1 10 Posted May 8, 2011 what would physx mean overall? means ATI users get shafted !! Muhahahaha... or just CPU orientated physx.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted May 8, 2011 means ATI users get shafted !! Muhahahaha... or just CPU orientated physx.. And nVidia users get a useless implementation without any real gameplay benefits because users with older or Ati cards cannot get a different game. Check out the games that already have it, its mostly some extra debris that dissapears quickly, and a bunch of extra smoke. Also, for some reason none of the games that have it have any multiplayer. :p (Except VBS2, but i assume that is usually only played on LAN anyway) Hence why i think that PhysX would be an unlikely choice, or a choice you wont have to get excited about.

Alwarren 2767 Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah, let's just see if we can stick to the topic and perhaps put all this together. There is something else, namely that the hackers claim to be Persian, but that could be unrelated. Also, and maybe someone knows more about this, I wonder what it up with the 'p8h8'. What does that mean? Persian Black Hat Boys or something like that was mentioned in the first hack. I wonder if this has significance. Sometimes, words that are too long to write are abbreviated in a similar way, like i18n for internationalization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
