ProGamerGov 74 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Just a curious thought that could go both ways for boths games. But for example people have requested a medical system like Dayz's medical system for years for Arma. Now when you think about it, Arma 3 may be lacking an advanced medical system because of dayz and the potential to mod dayz into Arma 3 causes this. Other things too like proper body armor and things like handcuffs. This issue could go both ways and prevent both games from being the best they can be.

applejaxc 2500 Posted September 9, 2013 They don't hold each other back, but they do make each other look bad. But, it's two different games trying to achieve different goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted September 9, 2013 No, two different games! Arma 3's problem is its too realistic in a world which wants quick action.DayZ's issue is we are all still waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16186 Posted September 9, 2013 Hello there Note that this Q. came from a topic over at our cousin BiS's forum. Lets show that we can deal with the Arma3 vs Dayz thing with intelligence and sobriety. Rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only see the games complementing eachother rather than hindering eachother. Rdgs LoK 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted September 9, 2013 At the very least, development of both simultaneously allows for exploration of more ideas.It's also an advantage to be able to learn from each other's mistakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProGamerGov 74 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) At the very least, development of both simultaneously allows for exploration of more ideas.It's also an advantage to be able to learn from each other's mistakes.What about feature sharring with features like the medical system from Dayz for Arma 3 and the underwater aspect or physx for dayz?

mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted September 9, 2013 All the assets are property of BI, so they can cherry-pick what they like from where they like. I don't follow ArmA 3 development, so your guess is as good as mine when it comes to specifics. But from an outsiders point of view, it makes sense to take both titles in different directions while things are still in heavy development and subject to change at any point. In any case, I don't think either title is harming the development of the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted September 9, 2013 Hello there I dont think that the devs only had "one" system and had to decide in which game to put it, rather advances in DAYZ may push the A3 devs to use their code and visa versa. I can only see the games complementing eachother rather than hindering eachother. Rdgs LoKThat's pretty much how I look at it. DayZ is still a very new thing for BIS, Arma has been around a long time. Only time will tell if DayZ assets/mechanics/ideas will filter back into Arma but I'd be surprised if in time it doesn't. Considering DayZ is barely a game yet though it's going to be a while before we know the answer. Also, we don't know the internal politics at BIS. There's probably some healthy rivalry between the 2 dev teams and DayZ still has a lot to prove. If I was the the BIS CEO, for now I'd keep the two teams competing with eachother, it'll drive them both on, a bit like you would with different teams in any work place. Anyhoo, I can only see it as a good thing for BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDalia 95 Posted September 9, 2013 The fact that Arma 3 is out soon, Iam guessing alot of the resources and man power behind that, will now be utilised with Dayz. IAm sure both dev teams are just excited about both games. They would be happy to be working on dayz now that Arma 3 is looking at release. Iam sure the folks which have been working on Arma 3 that are now moved over to teh Dayz Dev team, can bring a wealth of knowledge and skill to what is oing on there. What a true blessing to be able to go straight from arma 3 and work on a title like Dayz. WOuld be one of the great places to work right now I do believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgeesio 1034 Posted September 9, 2013 tbh nothing should be borrow from arma 3 to dayz dayz is dayz not arma 3 ! dayz is a game itsself now now a mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted September 9, 2013 tbh nothing should be borrow from arma 3 to dayz dayz is dayz not arma 3 ! dayz is a game itsself now now a mod. So Rocket should give Arma 3 their clouds back? Theres no reason why they shouldn't share systems between the games if they fit the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted September 9, 2013 Nooooooooo, not the clouds! I love the new clouds! The thing is many of the new things in DayZ such as the damage models and new health system only work because of the core engine changes they've made. For Arma to use the same features it'd have to fundamentaly change/upgrade it's engine too so if it is ever going to use these things it won't be until Arma 4 is released..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Jimmy 1631 Posted September 9, 2013 I believe that DayZ had some impact on Arma 3 but in the end I hope that Bohemia learns something nice in the DayZ that they can port in the next Arma or in the current one. DayZ could provide for example able to make more restricted servers with higher performance. DayZ is having so big overhaul that they must learn something that they could use also in Arma.

Like a rain system that scared the programmers and the A3 developers do want to give Arma 3 a much better medical system. But why wouldn't Dayz want the better water that Arma 3 has? Also have you guys seen what exactly the clouds are from? It is a simulation software called TrueSky: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pnvBF5Nu5gw Edited September 9, 2013 by ProGamerGov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
