Take... on... mars... damn... i thought it might be some crazy racing strange game... and we've got full sim.

I am hoping that "Take on Mars" is based on the RV engine, will be nice to fly a helicopter on Mars. :D

[metalcraze 290]

Take On Mars? Another game nobody is going to play

Also doesn't look like RV at all. More like Black Element's engine if anything.

[Wolfstriked 11]

That can't be real?!?!:butbut:

[kilroy the nerd 14]

I dunno, looks cool. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Bohemia Space Program go!

[blu3sman 11]

Nice :)

I guess at 0:40 you can see Mars-3, the first mars lander that managed successfull landing, and was recently found on MRO images.

[strangere 2]

Another game nobody is going to play.

Funnily, this is same exact thing people were saying when BI were making Ofp. :D

I dunno, but if Kerbal space program can be popular maybe this will find its niche.

[Wolfstriked 11]

bah!!! Take on tanks would of rocked!!

[keefehb 0]

Looks very cool.

I struggled to fly in Take On: Helicopters, will be intersting to to see how I get on with a mars lander.

[CriminalMinds 10]

I like it very much.... and I know a lot of other people liking it too. :D

[Tyl3r99 41]

import take on mars map to arma 3 ;)

[liquidpinky 11]

Count me among them.

Sure there are a few scientists who would like to practice getting the landers down before doing the real thing too.

No trees, great FPS, what's not to like. :)

There is a huge difference. You cannot compare a full milsim game with a "toy" to play maybe a couple of days before it starts to become boring.

Really i don't want to be rude, but it is totally a waste of time and resources. Please better put those developers to work full time in ArmA 3, which it's still needing a lot of work and there are many many interesting petitions from users to improve it.

[instagoat 133]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF hell yeah, Mars

That is so bought. I hope this will include actual topographical simulation of mars, as well as the abillity to mod planets and plugins compatible with programs like Celestia. So what exactly will this be, "run a mars mission" simulator?

[purepassion 22]

You can find more information in the Take On Mars thread :)

Also, here's another picture of the battlebunker

Bit narrow minded, what if they use it develop the RV engine a little more like with Take On Helis?

Better physics and particles can be possible benefits for starters.

A more focused game can allow it's devs to focus more on what goes on behind the scenes also.

[metalcraze 290]

Except it's not RV engine at all.

And as for Take On Heli's example - its FM isn't in ArmA3 despite the initial promises.

Yep, but a lot of it's visual improvements are. ;)

[Zatan13th 10]

Take on : Mars :confused:

it's sound like some kind of terrain generator (random seed) technology?

May be ArmA4 will have this, too. :D No more single static map, but generate on the fly, and unlimited map size!

[kremator 1065]

Take on Submarines next ? Or perhaps a DLC (hint hint !)

[kylania 568]

Take on Submarines next ? Or perhaps a DLC (hint hint !)

Take On Animal Husbandry I bet! Should be interesting.

Wonder if we'll have to math wizard the landings via per-programmed thruster bursts or manually fly them or something?

[blu3sman 11]

It's time to take over the livecam:icon_twisted: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/live-cam-tour/

[cannonouscrash 12]

Im on it, question 1 asked!

Aww, it doesnt look like BI are going to be on the stream today, camera guy is in the west hall and BI are in the south hall.

Surely not... are you forgetting the Alpha part. Maybe we will see the flight model in the E3 beta and Damu said last year it will be in the final game.

Arma 3 is on the schedule Day 2, Wednesday June 12 at 5:20pm on stage 2 :)
