Tonci87 163 Posted June 16, 2012 Apparently their camera got fritzed. Am I the only one who is worried that so many cameras died at the BIS booth? Was it due to an EMP attack from the CoD Blops 2 booth? Or can we apply the rule that people shouldn´t approach Arma with inferior Hardware if they don´t want it to melt? Arma ]|[ even your camera will choke if it isn´t powerfull enough :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted June 17, 2012 I rewatched the Cynical rit video and there are a few interesting things to notice. Watch the part where he tests the NVGs, notice how there is no black screen when he takes them off. The virtual eye doesn´t have to adjust to the sudden darkness. I personally like that feature in Arma 2 since you have to think well if you are going to turn off the NVGs so that you can take a look through your Binos (ACE player). The next thing is the Flashlight. It is to weak, the light doesn´t reach out far enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the stars disappear rather than shining brightly. So it seems they haven't really implemented the functionality of NVGs yet. I expect they'll fix it and make the flash light stronger too.

Keep in mind that the flashlight can't be too strong or else it'll be more apparent that it doesn't create shadows. A balance is needed and, until there are further screens/videos to convince me otherwise, the current flashlight looks acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onlyrazor 11 Posted June 17, 2012 yes i noticed that too, but remember its near future, maybe this "futuristic NVGs", are working differently and don't cause "eye adaptation effect". That means they'd have to use "futuristic eyeballs" as well. Eye adaptation happens in the eyes, if I'm not mistaken. Unless those NVGs hook up directly to your retina, the adaptation should be unchanged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

becubed 24 Posted June 18, 2012 I noticed that in the SDV the left hand screen is showing the underwater view while the right hand one is showing the periscope view. This might not be new but it's the first time that I have noticed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholas 5 Posted June 18, 2012 Or maybe its just not finished, you know, being an alpha 'n all. Exactly. I'm thinking the NVG's weren't quite finished. You can't even see the stars when the NVG's are on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This might not be new but it's the first time that I have noticed it. Yeah, I saw that too - image from above water wasn't it? Not really sure what to think, I mean would you be able to have a periscope above sea level at all times ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted June 18, 2012 The camera feed is actually just bond to the periscope if it's deployed. So as soon your periscope enters the water, so does the picture on the screen :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
