Last line, you might be able to change the date, but its still 1984, and while it might have been friday 10 may back then, its wednesday in my world  

EDIT: Sorry for being a smartass...  </s>

But, after testing it seems that the year does not make a difference, oh well, i was always under the impression that BIS had an actually working calendar(that line doesnt seem to do anything at all)...  

EDIT: Thats probably why they dont have a release date for ArmA yet...  

[stegman 3]

OK, now i see what may 10th is.

So i guess after this week, we'll have more images, more videos and more info, but still no publisher and definetly no release date for the near future...

Roll on Friday

[Guest]

Hmm... The new video looks promising: enhanced camera handling, smoth body animations, really nice colours and lighting. I hope, though, it'll run on my old buddy...

Blog update!

-----------VIDEO----------------

Patrolling in Obregan

Hi, this is Frank.  If you’re a regular reader then Will already introduced me (and my truck).  He asked me to post this because he wanted to get this up right way.  He’s out running drills with the royals, and had to leave before the internet cafe was open.  So if I did this right, here’s Will’s first video made near the embassy in Obregan. Download it here.

-----------VIDEO----------------

LOL komuna, ya beat me just by a hair  

Good normal maps on the wall and truck (can barely see those on truck in video) nice scenery

[Guest]

Eh, eh; yeah, my RSS reader warned me right on time.

By the way, are you people still looking for Sahrani on GoogleEarth?

[deanosbeano 0]

lol they tease us again,

blurry video which is shot thru seagull / red kite view, still its better than nothing nice looking anims and yellow ural , hopefully e3 will be more fruitfull.

[Colossus 2]

Ooo, small movie teaser

[GBee 0]

The walking animation is fantastic.

I wonder if those guys are AI, in which case I also love the fact that they are looking around, not staring straight ahead.

[CsonkaPityu 0]

If the Royal Guard uses that yellow colour they sure ain't going to live long. Not exactly well camoflauged.

The tree shadows dont move with the swaying

Thats actually the only bad thing I could see on this vid

[GBee 0]

The tree shadows dont move with the swaying

The tree shadows are definately moving. Though whether they are moving in perfect unison with the swaying - I'm not sure.

[redface 1]

the movie is short, but the camera scripting seems to have been expanded:

- camera can be tilted, this means setbank and setdive have finally been enabled !!!

- incremental zoom (zoom speed is variable)

- I *hope* shaking cam is there as well

[deanosbeano 0]

hmm i think that camera swayin is because they are looking thru seagull view or whatever bird there is on arma, you can see it gently sway near the end. to be honest ,after looking at the video again ,i reckon its a piss poor attempt at giving us a good luck at arma, the dodgy russian film was better than this and it was unofficial.

just m p o v

[Guest Ti0n3r]

Looks scripited to me. The zoom is too slow.

[orange juice 0]

i'd guess the camera movement is made with Adobe After Effects or a related program.

This feature was already implented in OFP

Btw, that ural looks fantastic! Nice Palmtrees!

Come now, it was 14 seconds of footage. I doubt BIS wanted to give us the first good look at arma with just 14 seconds of .avi goodness.

This feature was already implented in OFP

It was introduced in one of the patches, but it didn't really fulfill a purpose. Exept for being a nice visual effect
