New Arma 3 Showcase - DAT LIGHTING 0.0

Look at that.

Gears 3 looks better as confirmed by DF

looks insane

Looks amazing. Can't wait to play some night missions, though it looks like my i5 2500k and HD 7970 are probably gonna get raped by this game.

I find it pretty hard to get excited about... light. And shadow.

But whatever.

Good chance it wiill be downright unplayable/unoptimized POS when it comes out. I'll wait for a sale.

Not at all.

They are using a much more optimized version of their existing engine and have a done a lot of core engine changes. They also delayed the game for the sake of polishing. They refuse to repeat what happened with ArmA 2.

Holy Crap :o that was insane looking. That's the best natural lighting I've seen. It's not overdone like all these other "Realistic" looking games

Interesting, if that is indeed the case then I'll withhold my judgement for user reviews/gameplay or if DayZ stops getting supported on Arma 2.

So gud...

Judging by the first 20 seconds I wont be able to run it

That underwater scene looked incredible

Did he just shoot a gun underwater? What kind of trickery is this?Loegi

Modern weaponry

While it looks good the lighting shown HERE is far more impressive.

You've never heard of guns that shoot underwater?

Grey_Eyed_Elf

That looks great but it's not realistic. It's lighting made to suit that type of game and world. It's very neon looking and very vivid colours. Arma III is going for all out realism in it's lighting.

but its not realistic unless it has heaps of blur and BLUE (BF3/Crysis on consoles)

That looks incredible. I'm sure my gaming rig will CRY.

Grey_Eyed_Elf

Going to have to agree.

ArmA's is more realistic but Planetside 2's lighting is the perfect combination of color, brightness, and contrast in a sci-fi environment.

Nope, ARMA2 was when it first came out but Operation Arrowhead was a HUGE improvement in performance. Not to mentino ARMA3 is using a very improved engine. I expect ARMA3 to be just as optimized as Operation Arrowhead and even more so.

Anyone who played ARMA2 and Operation Arrowhead will tell you the difference in performance was pretty big.

Doesn't look that special. The game's got no personality.001011000101101

BF3 has a garbage art direction? It's realistic, just like ArmA 3...

Yes, yes Jebus213, we know you hate battlefield 3. However, this thread is about ARMA 3, don't turn it into another thread where you just hate spam stuff about battlefield 3 for pages on end.ferret-gamer

Shut up and take my life savings

Looks fine to me. The only thing that bothers me is the excessive sun glare, everything else looks fine.

You're too hung up on hating it with every fiber of your being. Get that stick out of your ass. You've become some cynical that you can't enjoy video games anymore and have now made it out as your personal mission to try to ruin video games for everybody.

You'll start hating on Planetside 2 as soon as you finally see some gameplay. You'll accuse it of being to much like BF3 and to casual.

Of course, you'll label me as some "drone" and mindless fanboy for liking something you obviously hate. Your little bubble must be awesome.

There is no autoaim, console kids will not be interested.

I'd like better textures and better foliage. Especially foliage sticks out when of low quality.

Other than that, I like it, even if it's not my kind of game.

Wait until Day Z devs get ahold of this tech. Really impressive stuff.

There's also no explosions every 5 seconds during the entire game and enemies don't pop up and down conveniently all the time

Can't forget those corridors. Poor kiddies would be lost without them.
