graemeshute 218 Posted June 8, 2016 Is anyone surprised by the all of a sudden death by Apex news reveals? To go from no news except stuff reveled last year. To now a Dev diary showing it all off almost and extracted files which explained what we getting in Apex. Not that I am complaining now. But it was Cold to Hot in a heart beat. And what I suspect now new gear on Dev apart from Tanoa. I still don't get why there was no news up until Monday when this all kicked off? E3? I wish a Dev could explain to me what was the purpose of virtually a vacuum of news. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 8, 2016 But now I wonder what they will talk about at E3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petek 62 Posted June 8, 2016 Excited to see what we get but seems like all the pics of units and Civvies we've seen so far look like those from before just re-skinned...... a little disappointing if so. I know "uniform" is likely to be standard but not sure I can stand more "board shorts and polo shirted Civs";-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graemeshute 218 Posted June 8, 2016 Waiting for more complains about how the new CSAT looks even more like a Alien xD it has rails if you haven't noticed Yeah I know its got the top feed cover picatinny rail but its very old school M249. I do get they aimed for old school feel but to see in 2035 a RPG 7 with wooden trimmings or those AK's again with Wood. Ghastly. Clearly no Polymer injection mouldings happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what do you think of all this since you were one of the original Mod makers when Arma 3 hatched. other then green bug helmets LOL. Pew pew lazors. I think they could have opted for adding some smaller drones RC car with a C4 block on it and the US Talon. Something low profile that can "sneak" into a base or area and lay down the hate.

k4ble 71 Posted June 8, 2016 Has Anyone seen any info about ambient ships like the trawler ? I mean we have this massive industrial port with a giant drydock and then theres is a Tiny trawler sitting in the middle of it. Just looks odd. I mean they could throw in like a fueltanker or container ship to ar least give the impression the port is used. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alwarren 2767 Posted June 8, 2016 Great Dev Diary, really liked what I saw! Send from my tablet, so pardon any autocorrect bollocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted June 8, 2016 Yup , those "old" weapons are the models from latest Dayz , which is great because they are so nicely detailed :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semiconductor 309 Posted June 8, 2016 The rest of content is kinda-sorta okay but this... oh God, why. BI, you have to stop raping the design of a most beautiful helicopter ever made. Just. Stop. That's enough, try making something original for once. This vehicle looks like a three year olds first attempt in drawing. Even a GTA V has more reasonable Hind redesign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semiconductor 309 Posted June 8, 2016 Yup , those "old" weapons are the models from latest Dayz , which is great Wait, what? BI didn't even bothered to make a bunch of new weapons and simply copy-pasted them from another game or retextured default ones? Now I'm really starting to regret my decision to buy Apex. Is it just me that likes it? Hinds a classic. Last time I checked Hind looked like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Mi-24_Desert_Rescue.jpg The thing in the screenshot is - to put it mildly - a very weird reinterpretation of a classic design. But then again, tastes differ I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I'm really starting to regret my decision to buy Apex. Whats the point of making new models for everything? When they got a beutiful model they could use, why not use it? It gives them time to work on other things that could be needed more. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not a bad thing , when you they got a really nice models that are used only in Dayz game personally i would like to have all the weapons from Dayz in ArmA 3 imho :D 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gives them time to work on other things that could be needed more. ...or it gives them ability to significantly reduce the cost of development therefore increasing profits. And since apparently the majority of weapons is either reskin or port I'm not really sure that BI went the way you're describing. That's not a bad thing , when you they got a really nice models that are used only in Dayz game The weapons themselves are not a bad thing, I agree. The problem is that we had to pay a full price for something that is basically a reused content from the game some of us already paid for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And since apparently the majority of weapons is either reskin or port I'm not really sure that BI went the way you're describing. It also makes the games cheaper to the clients. Heck, just Tanoa is already worth the price of APEX. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And since apparently the majority of weapons is either reskin or port I'm not really sure that BI went the way you're describing. Don't worry you won't see any difference in quality, they would have probably gotten their own modelers to take a look see and make some changes to it. I agree with RobertHammer here as well, who cares if it is from another game? As long as it is the same quality I couldn't care less, as Robert said it would have given the devs more time to work on other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
