Wolves in the wild

So why are the new wolves ^^ looking so poorly done. ? I want a wolf, not sparkles the wonderpuppy. His head looks like the balloon pig on the Pink Floyd Animals' cover.

That screenshot is from a modded (pirate) SA version. The quality is poor because they use an old game build (with the old legacy graphic engine) that was leaked a couple of years ago, the AI will be different too I guess, since those versions usually have their own dev team, and use old Arma models.

Wolves in SA gonna be a lot more detailed and cool, you can check the videos of them that were updated a couple of days ago.

As I said, the build is old (0.45 I believe), so the lack of shadows is probably a legacy graphic engine defect.

hey now. I never photoshopped a single thing. I saw that, and it was presented as the new wolf. 

thanks for the clarification. But . to be honest. I think we all want Sparkles the Wonderpuppy now


I did also see footage of the Church 'wolf attack" is that recent ? (man gets cornered in Berizino church - wolves howl, he gets trapped at top of stairs as 8 wolves do the same animation, all stuck at the bottom of the stairs?) 

IF THAT IS recent. it's really not that freaking impressive. it's kinda generic in their movement, the audio is very very course and akin to a soundboard - wolves don't howl while attacking en masse (they dont bite and howl) 

if that's the best the "team they got that worked on hunting simulators can do" I fear it doesn't bode well for the game in my mind.

It´s the bare minimum they need to be able to implement the wolves into the game, so there´s more danger out there. Once they finish implementing the really important stuff (infected, player controller for example) they will fix all the issues with the rest of things that are somehow broken (like a lot of stuff lol), so everything is top notch and up to date with current gaming standards :).

As now, you should see the current version of wolves as the "better than nothing" one. They will get better in the future, so don´t worry, game developing is a long process and till we have a finished version, we can expect a lot of positive changes.

Lol youre just not happy with anything ... First of all you should probably research a bit before posting becuase you look uninformed.

Secondly , wolves howl for various reasons although hunting isn't really one of them , it would be silly to include the wolf without the howl - it just makes for better gameplay.

Lastly , this is not even the first iteration of the wolves to a public setting , it's simply a dev test in that video with the church , so I'm sure the sync of the wolves and the glitchyness will be improved as they get released to public branches and get worked on .

sure thing BooGoo. (see what i did there? i insulted you before i start-now look below to find out why!)

so you get a lot of wolves in the environments around your home? i do. 
have you done work with wolf packs in the wild? I have. 

I'm not beholden to carry the torch, I am beholden to the reality of what I have seen. 

I've also been waiting for hordes, only to get told they can't do over 1000 and they have not figured out the triggering system. 

I would ask you to question ":does starting off a comment with 'lol' add anything, or does it make you look like a shitheel fanboy who has to get digs in before they get in a comment"

I have every right as a consumer to ask questions and voice my disapproval of things I observe. 

attempts at browbeating only make you look stupid and juvenile. 

If you keep this up, you're never gonna experience the joy of Sparkles.


tldr fyi. physically the act of howling isn't possible while in a run.

you would also be wise to check that in my original post I asked a simple thing

"So why are the new wolves ^^ looking so poorly done. ? "

is or is that not ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION TO EDUCATE MYSELF?

ya just can't please some people, and no matter what you do, it will always butt heads with their buttheads
