Will the standalone have much improved graphics?

[despair (DayZ) 9]

will decembers release version of the standalone have superior graphics to the current dayz mod? since it's using a different engine

or will it look the same

If you want to know what standalone will look like, look up Take on Helicopters. It should something similar to that, since Take on Helicopters is considered to be running the Arma 2.5 Engine, which is what they said the standalone will run on.

I mean it's not the best example of gameplay for Take on Helicopters but it's something, there are more videos out there too.

This was written in the latest dev blog. So no. Better performance maybe.

While the graphics may look the same (for now), under the hood so much is being completely rewritten.

I never thought the graphics where all that important in this game.

I never thought the graphics were all that bad in this game.

correct on both counts.

but, as a standalone game on a new engine i think wanting something a bit better is not out of line.

the graphics are fine i think, but i barely look since its not really that type of game. the buildings and roads just need to be more populated with ambient stuff and it will look a lot better.
