I was just wondering if ARMA III will have an option for enabling ambient occlusion? It will drastically improve the visuals, especially in urban areas.

Point light shadows.

Better explosions and particle effects, the ones I've seen so far are awful (compared to all the other high quality content). The muzzle flashes looks great, but you should tweak its lighting (it's so brief it shows taring on the screen). Oh and another thing. Will there be locked doors on some of the buildings? Knocking down doors or lock-picking would be cool!

Going a bit off topic here but you're pulling this shit right out of your ass.

I would love to know if "Image-Space Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion" (HBAO) will be implemented. As of now there is only SSAO which is far from accurate, causing ugly dark shadows around corners.

Read up on HBAO. http://www.nvidia.com/object/siggraph-2008-HBAO.html

They need to work on their ambient occlusion method (ugly halo effect) and remove that unnecessary (resource heavy) hazy blur effect. Something I immediately noticed in those new screenshots.

Where is the rest of the E3 demo videos on Youtube? I've been waiting for weeks!

You can't deny ARMA II is horribly optimized.

This because it scales well.

Being able to move around inside cargo planes and control cargo drops.

When can we expect the official videos on Youtube?

I have no problems with Steamworks integration, will make it easier to connect with my friends.

When will the official in depth E3 demonstration be out?

Be able to move inside the biggest cargo planes. It's entirely possible.

No, I mean the official high-res ones, that take on every feature.

When will the ARMA III demo videos be up on Youtube?

I've really missed this in ARMA II There should be better options to tweak each graphics feature individually. Here's a list of what I think should have better options in the advanced video menu: Motion blur Depth of field Fog / volumetric fog Particles Lighting Ambient occlusion Shadows Level of detail Etc. (some of these are already in advanced video options but you get the idea) What do you think?
