Arma 3 - Standalone Features

[exo.geni@hotmail.it 13]

I think it would be cool to have Arma 3 animations, ragdoll, customizations and other stuff.

I know that most of these features are already planned, but are they going to use the Arma 3's ones or just doing it from scratch?

I'm really worried about the animations/physics, i mean, it's what makes DayZ look that ugly (graphically).

Sorry about my english :D

Well it's a stand alone game and seeing as the animations are already custom for the Mod it's self why wouldn't they, Arma 3 and DayZ are going to be completely unrelated

A little unrelated, but why is it that the folks who always say, "Sorry for my English," use MUCH better English than native speakers? Just something I've observed.

ANYWAY, I think the main concern is patching the holes that Arma leaves open by way of DayZ being a mod. Security, zombie behavior, saving, and the other things that are limiting some of the game's basic functionality. Visually and even feature wise, I expect it to basically be the same to begin with. As long as everything works (more or less), then pretty can come later.

According to http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/31347010829/the-integration-begins

The standalone engine we are using is a branch of Take on Helicopters, which itself is a branch of ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead.

So, looks like GFX will be the same, maybe updated models/textures, but in all other aspects (animation, rendering) be the same as in a mod right now

Probably because we, non-english speakers, are so afraid to look silly. lol

Yes, obviously all the Arma 2/Engine problems are a priority, without a polished game no one would be able to enjoy the eye-candy stuffs!

It's just that i noticed how "little" things, like characters idle animations, can improve the immersion, and immersion is what really makes the difference in a game like this in my opinion :D

So even if both engines (Arma 3 - DayZ) are based on the Real Virtuality isn't it possible to share those features? It would also considerably boost the development, which is good.

Rocket himself said the DayZ standalone will use a '2.5' Version of Arma's engine. Many of the features from Arma 3 will make it into the standalone but the engine will be tweaked especially for this game as to fit DayZ. Just watch some interviews with Rocket and you'll get what I mean.
