David Foltyn of Bohemia Interactive has been a little blighter and revealed the first four in-game screenshots from ArmA 3.
GF365: "Simulation games have their own unique charm that draws players in. Here are our picks for the best simulation games available today."
From GI.biz: "Back in October, a video clip started doing the rounds on social media, showing what appeared to be the Ukrainian artillery attacking Russian tanks. The footage was shared thousands of times across social media platforms.
There was just one small problem; the footage in question was not real.
It was, in fact, a video of gameplay from Arma 3, a military simulation title made by Czech studio Bohemia Interactive.
This is far from the first time the game has been used to fake footage of warzones. In the past, Arma 3 has been used to spoof videos of conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as military action between Israel and Palestine. It’s even been used to fake videos of a fictional war between India and Pakistan. This isn’t even the first time that footage of the Ukrainian war has actually turned out to be Arma 3 footage."
When these videos make their way into mainstream news it just shows me how incompetent these networks are. You could blame YouTubers, click bait titles, you could try to do something about it as the dev, but these are huge news networks with a lot of money poured into em and hundreds of employees. Perhaps if they weren't so set on being first they'd ensure that they aren't putting out fake footage as often as they do.
Precisely picking off your targets from a great distance while they never suspect a thing feels extremely satisfying and fun in games that execute the sniper concept well. Here are five such sniping games that are insanely satisfying.
This will be so great in 2 years,..when we will be able to brute force it,... because knowing Bohemia and their optimization skills,.. I am not even going to try to run it, and I just made a pretty monster rig,..
Maybe it is just the AI and really incredible amount of calculations that must be preformed in real time,.. That actually must be some of it,..or else they don't know what the hell they are doing,.. Because every new game that they release gives me a lot of headache, because I want to play it so much the way it is supposed to look,..
Just give us maxed out inhouse specs,.. So at least I know how to build my next rig. It is so funny that a lot of times a way more powerful rigs run it way shittier,..
Arma 2 failed to impress me; it was very pretty to look at and fooling around with the editor was fun for a few hours, but the multiplayer was just awful, buggy, slow and sparsely populated.
And no, I was never in to 'co op' with a handful of people vs some brain dead AI.
