Movin_pics 11 Posted June 4, 2013 In this day and age when expensive graphics cards are pumping out gorgeous frames by the bucket load in Crysis 3, Arma 3 and Metro Last Light, it IS possible to have the full package. Even Minecraft with its Sonic Ether shaders looks amazing now and plays well.You're right it is possible to have a product that is balanced in both flash and function and I believe we will get that in time but I want to argue that the Crysis series had more money thrown at it the same with ARMA 3 with it being BI's flagship product, the only anomaly there is Metro as far as I'm aware they didn't have a a lot of cash.In regards to Minecraft I think that's case and point that at this early stage things like the UI can take a back seat to the core gameplay as far as development is concerned until time and resources can be freed up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heiduk 265 Posted June 4, 2013 Lets face it, coders can't design worth shit. Artists can't code worth shit. Coders are about as visually minded as artists are syntax minded.I'm guessing you don't work in the film industry. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donlod 6 Posted June 4, 2013 2. Foliage. Will the problem with loading foliage at range be adressed? I can see in the picture that even if the graphics are nice and it looks very good, the grass in the horizon is still not there. So a player in a ghillie suit would be very visible. Now, whenever you get in i fight with a ghillie suit player, most people know that you have to go far away so that you can see him. Metagaming like that ruin alot of the gaming experince, I can see other metagaming issues have been adressed several times. And perhaps these have aswell. But as I said, I cannot find any good information on it.i thought this was redone but ur right.... i did not notice it. sorry, but this is disappointing me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hiroshi (DayZ) 2 Posted June 4, 2013 It`s been a while since I have posted in here now, but I still check in from time to time.The pictures that was posted looks okey. Many of us are already playing dayzmod alot (more than other "complete" games)so release should be a high priority now (as I am sure it is).There are however 2 problems that I can not find any good information on.1. Helicopters. will they be in the release? Most players hunt for them or want them, makes the game alot more fun.I think rocket already confirmed that there are no plans for Helicopters to be included in the SA. They don't even have vehicles ready for the Alpha release, which is a major disappointment, imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as I said, I cannot find any good information on it.Do some of you remember the game "Joint Operations - Typhoon Rising / Escalation" ? (Only the best game ever)Hiding in the grass worked absolutely perfect in that game on both short and long distances! You were almost invisible if you were lying in high grass or bushes.In that game grass / foliage did also show only in your proximity and you couldn't see any grass in the distance - but that wouldn't take away your cover and you would stay hidden.Don't ask me how that engine worked, but it worked better than any of the ARMA engines (regarding camouflage) .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
