Reticulum 10 Posted July 28, 2009 Looking at the Youtube videos of in game footage I have noticed that the blood looks very unrealistic. It's too bright & it's just a quick spray without being able to see the blood gushing out after the spray. What do you guys think? It seems they spent a lot of time on realism in the game but left out the blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, because I'm sure you are very familiar with what bleeding from real gunshot wounds looks like. Or perhaps you have reference material of people getting shot? :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master gamawa 0 Posted July 28, 2009 I think you are trolling and I find it very funny but this is the internet and I never really know. So in case you are serious about blood gushing out after the spray (you sick bastard :) ) I advice you to search for videos of real bullet injuries. No, in fact I would say keep away from such videos but you seem so happy with BLOOD GUSHING OUT LOL that I just feel like bursting your bubble! You will thank me one day!

dmarkwick 261 Posted July 28, 2009 Really the only way ArmA2 is unrealistic blood-wise is that there's not enough of it pooling around bodies. IMO one of the best addons for ArmA1 was the blood spurt addon, not because of the spurt itself but more for the ground spay. You could tell where the incoming was coming from by looking at the ground around the bodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reticulum 10 Posted July 28, 2009 No, I am not trolling. I've seen real gun shot wounds & depending on where one is shot blood does spurt out after the initial spray. What about the colour? It looks way too bright to be considered realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted July 28, 2009 I don't think BIS would really want to spend their time studying realistic gunshot wounds & blood effects. They might, I dunno, but I really wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master gamawa 0 Posted July 28, 2009 Dude you know what? I don't like talking to you! :) You scare me and shit. HOW BOUT THEM ENTRAILS? That's not a good color for a spleen it needs some cyan and a bit of texture! Ok joking aside my "favorite" blood spray was the one in Operation Flashpoint. Just a small misty thing and that's all. I don't need more. And I don't think the game can manage a new "Blood pressure gushing" function. Machine guns would kill your frame rate! And I won't even go into the details of clothes soaking up blood and whatnot. Some realism aspects are not going to make the game better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who really wouldn't be impressed if you shoot someone in the guts with a .45 & get to see their gall bladder fall out or them try to staple their guts back inside themselves? ---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ---------- Doesn't that depend on what has been shot?

Who really wouldn't be impressed if you shoot someone in the guts with a .45 & get to see their gall bladder fall out or them try to staple their guts back inside themselves? I would be impressed because of the technical detail and devotion to realism the dev team showed. I would express it like so: "My god look at all this effort to make blood and guts look real in a game that most encounters are around 200m range isn't that great? OK how do I turn this off?" Impressed yeah. For the wrong reasons? yeah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeMeSiS 11 Posted July 28, 2009 Well i take back what i said about the blood in ArmA2. I just checked it and first of all, it was turned off for some reason and second, when i turned it on it was much, much darker then i remembered, spot on IMO. Though i guess the fact that i didnt notice it was turned off shows how much i care about the whole issue. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deadfast 43 Posted July 28, 2009 Well, once I read that the reason you don't really see blood spraying out of gunshot wounds is the clothing absorbing it. Even with my minimal knowledge on this subject I have no reason not to believe that :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frederf 0 Posted July 28, 2009 I'm not overly enthusiastic about blood and gore but if it's possible to tweak the blood color from bright red to darker red to look more real (and less cartoony) then that's a good thing. Cartoony stuff really sticks out in ArmA2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) NSFW or for the faint of heart: That's what blood looks like lol That's not what arterial blood looks like. This looks like it's been clotting on the ground for a bit. There's a lot of blood in the brain but the brain is an intense consumer of blood nutrients and oxygen. That blood would probably have more in common with capillary seepage or veinous flow. Edited July 29, 2009 by Placebo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
