Latest ArmA2 & ArmA2:OA Press Coverage | NO discussion here!

Charging money to view videos of BI's games? I hope BI get some royalties or it would be wrong.

It's like a script writer for a movie who doesn't get paid for his work.

Why would they? If BIS holds a press event, the publication rights are clearly stated by BIS and any material that a publication captures belongs to them, not BIS.

Now, was there a slaughter? Did Petra shoot deadly laser out of her eyes? Someone must have seen it?

[Raphier 0]

I think there was a slaughter, since a lot of comments, but zero positive thumbs :D (scaring the poo out of BIS!)

Are we going to have any site update this week, or is it going to be like last week?

I'd complain to your game reviews site/magazine ;)

I'm sure BIS is more than happy to send out the preview version to anyone interested.

Becarfule, i asked the same thing a couple of days ago, and was shoot down by the admin...

Looks lige they have given up the update-part...

[max power 21]

I don't think it's fair to say that they have given up. It is what it is. Either they didn't update last week and they did something else like some press stuff, or they need some time to get ready for some other intelligence section or something. Maybe they have put it by the wayside but I doubt it.

It is GOOD that we now can walk and shoot to some extent. This is very badly made in A1 as there is so much "Bump" left and right while walking. ACE have taken the weird right to left bump out and it feels more natural. Im pretty sure this is what they mean - and im happy with that. Very happy. CQB here i come!

I don't see why I should be careful, it was something that BI stated in their own site.

Well, we got a bit late with our next update with all the forums migration, preview madness, beta patch for first Arma and crunch time on the second, community awards form... anyway, an update is in the works, more likely will not make it this week but it shouldn't be too long now

Tiscali games try to show the diferent graphic settings in ArmA.

http://games.tiscali.cz/news/news.asp?id=32546&r=top

But I dunno about the objectivity of them.

The lowest setting screen is weird, the grass have a totaly diferent color...

[Raphier 0]

on lowest, it's so because of possibly 'grass noise' been takn off

New news on Tiscali Games

I'm not going to translate what the author wrote yet (he's just justifying why his screenshots looked so bad), instead I'll translate what Jan Pražák (PR) had to say (I find it more interesting):

Global settings to low and very low among other lower texture resolution - which has a big dependence on the overall visual image quality - and complexity of the 3D models. These settings will not be present in the retail game. Lowering texture quality to very low with memory size of today's mainstream video cards has no point at all. On top of that ArmA 2 has improved communication with the RAM. The most limiting factor from our experiences is the processor speed. Most important for a smooth framerate is for sure at least a dual core CPU.

In comments around the Internet there are sometimes comments about our "miraculous" presentation PC. To clear this myth I've included a DXdiag log showing this computer's parameters and a screenshot with displayed FPS with similar scene from Manhattan mission from the current build. Notice that there is no noticeable FPS difference between 1280x720 and 1920x1200 resolution, which proves there is no point in spoiling the image quality by lower resolution or lower texture details.

the positions are WAY to similar to be two different images :D

EDIT: No wonder, as they are. Deadfast you gave one exact link for both resolutions :protest:

Edited April 25, 2009 by Raphier

[Deadfast 43]

Positions are same even with the correct link.
