Development Blog & Reveals

[-GR-Operative 10]

Max was only acting to keep up the joke people, so let's get back to the topic.

Sorry for going offtopic guys but I'm not really sure which thread would be the most appropriate for this post so I'll just post it in here. I found a small picture which looks like it might possibly be a new Arma3 screenshot but it's so tiny that I don't really know for sure. If the screenshot happens to be from another game please go easy on me.

This is the picture.

Nope. Battlefield Bad Company 2

Thanks antoine. I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed.

Nothing to be ashamed about. I'm sure the windmill is what made it look like ArmA3...

[Mr. Charles 22]

Do you guys have any ETA on that devblog about the field trip to Limnos?

[RotorNut 1]

Wow some of those screenshots look brilliant!

It's ok, it was an April Fools joke after all, haha

Will this affect the release of Arma 3?

Why should it? Two different teams working on different projects.

[Whirly 1]

Because Marek commented in March that Bohemia "definitely" wanted to release CC before Arma 3.

That's just means CC is coming before A3, nothing more.

[Whirly 1]

Well I think Bohemia would be awfully busy releasing two games around the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if they decide to delay Arma3 until 2013.

[PuFu 4599]

ArmA3 was delayed from summer 2012 to Q4 2012, and in one of the interviews (i think the one talking about A3 Alpha), the comment was that A3 is now aimed for the end of the year, that is if it is this year). So no, it shouldn't be affecting anyhting anyways...

[metalcraze 290]

It will be spring 2013 yet. You'll see.

[Undeceived 392]

Just throwing this statement of Marek in to the discussion:

"We did not reveal an exact release date previously, but our target was for some time and still is Q4 2012 (instead of early plans of late Summer that was announced initially)," Bohemia CEO Marek Španěl said in a statement provided to Shacknews. "However, we are prepared to give development additional time if it will need it to ensure as good an experience as possible."

Could be 2012 but as well 2013. :) For me personally it's not important.

Yeap, a delay in time, especially with the community alpha could really go far in helping to find and crush numerous problems prior to official release so it might not be such a bad thing.

"Q4 release" can also mean the 6th december so the first hotfix/patch/x-mas gift will still have time to be done+released before the 24th december. Better safe than sorry! ;)

OMG, very nice animations, I like that "ambient" walking in the video :)

It's nice to read that BI prepared new hardware technologies for Arma 3.

[Whirly 1]

I got so excited I accidently posted a comment in the 'no discussion' thread. Honestly, that video was perfect in every way!

[Black Cat 10]

............no words.....just....*sniff*.....tears....

[nodunit 397]

Between animations and visuals this is looking more like a whole new game rather than the next step in Arma, And that terrain *drool*

I like the personal touch of these blogs, quite amusing..I'd love to hear more on the story about how Vespa was hit by a parked car :D

The new skin shader looks especially great, A2 had this wierd..plastic look to it, I don't know what but there was always something "Off". OA did better with this but in shadows (such as a building) You'd see an even stranger thing happen where the skin 'lights up'.

You better watch out BI, make the game too realistic and others may mistake gameplay for real war footage.

It is a good read, this game will be impressive.

Just what I was thinking. It's not a cold hard devblog, it's very personal and they sound almost nonchalant while they are presenting the info that will be all I think about for the rest of the week. :D

[Tonci87 163]

I can´t wait until the 19th That Devblog together with the video really made my day.

Quick someone find out where that location from the video is IRL

I bet its on Agios Efstratios

STRATIS Teaser. STRATIS must be the codename for that island
