Bohemia Interactive příští týden odhalí budoucnost série Arma - INDIAN

Zatím oficiálně nevíme, co můžeme čekat, s jistotou ale uvidíme první plody nového herního enginu Enfusion, který byl formálně představen na konci minulého roku.

All we know for sure is that whatever Bohemia Interactive reveals will be the first fruits of the new Enfusion engine , which was fully introduced at the end of last year.

However, since the beginning of last year, when the first leaks occurred, there has been speculation about the existence of the Arma: Reforger project , which could be inspired by the original Operation Flashpoint , now distributed under the name Arma: Cold War Assault . After all, it wasn't hard to tell that the Enfusion screenshots we had a few months ago came from a new version of Everon Island , one of Flashpoint's main venues. In addition, a few days ago, the arrival of the modernized Everon was confirmed by Marek Španěl, the director and co-founder of Bohemia Interactive, via Twitter.

But we're not moving that a lot of fans of the series would rather see the full fourth part , which fans have been calling for for several years. After all, Arma 3 was released in 2013, and although its long-standing support is admirable, it cannot, of course, last forever.

I'm like Moses. 40 years of the single player plague is coming to an end. The red sea is parting and my people are about to rejoice.

There's so many great open world multiplayer games nearing release. We about to feast!

 

[Droxcy]

Whole thing got leaked. I just want a Modern Era Arma 4 with insane graphics.

 

[Trunim]

wait what? This is getting released on last gen consoles...? Please no. No no no no.

 

[Klik]

What,also on PS4 and Xbox One??? Oh cmon its year 2022,let's finally abandon Jaguar cores and HDD for fck sake..

Consoles? This will fizzle out so quickly because people refuse to communicate on those platforms. It’ll either turn into a mindless TDM or result in one team getting completely stomped due to the other team knowing each other and coordinating properly.

I’ve seen this happen dozens of times in Hell Let Loose and I see no reason why it wouldn’t translate here.

On top of comms, Xbox One? That’s going to be a mess of an experience…

 

[Hezekiah]

Always wanted to play one of these games, but nowadays with the amount of gaming I do, I fear I would be demolished in quick order.

 

[Gamezone]

So Reforger and Arma 4 are two different games?

Hell Let Loose is so amazing when people actually communicate but like you said most times no one does and everyone is just running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

I too see no reason this game will be different.

I mainly play Hell Let Loose on PS5 and admit the communication is somewhat better there than Xbox with the mic in the dual sense but still way lacking

What has kept you playing them for 21 years ? Since you always wanted to.

 

[kraspkibble]

shouldn't be released on consoles. not even PS5/XSX. just stick to PC.

 

[amigastar]

I want Arma 4 so bad. Been playing the games since the first Operation Flashpoint.

 

[SJRB]

I have no problems with ARMA on consoles [really, who cares].

However, I do have a problem with timed exclusivity. Fuck off with that shit.

The people who enjoy the game care. Do you believe that games just apear on consoles as they are, out of thin air ? They would need to neuter and gut everything from the gamedesign in order for the game to be playable and enjoyable on controllers. We have assists for the smallest little shit when we play games on controllers due to how shit dual sticks are for everything and how few buttons we have on them. An ARMA on consoles quite simply would stop being arma. And the changes they want to make are evident based on this leak. They even emphasised that its not a sim anymore

Playing the many millions of exclusive games as part of the PCMR.

What's your final review score?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

What's your final review score?

To be really clear, I’d love for this kind of thing to take off and work well on consoles, but these mil-sim shooters just don’t seem to pan out well there because they rely on good team communication. Something alien to a decent amount of console players.

Absolutely agree on HLL being an amazing time when people are communicating. It’s the most rewarding multiplayer experience in my opinion.

However, like you say, it just doesn’t work well when players don’t want to speak. It actually becomes one of the most frustrating multiplayer experiences at that point for me.

Maybe wait with the drama until we see the actual game.

I think it probably depends on how the game is designed. I've never had a problem with comms (on console) as long as squad size is small enough and comms are important for success.

HLL is one of the games that swings from such a satisfying game when your squad talks and coordinates and takes over positions to pure shit when you see everyone leaving a position and slowly losing it to 2 people because your whole squad wants to sprint to the next position

Día uno.

2025? wtf

 

[TVexperto]

what a big FU to the pc community if its exclusive to xbox

 

[Skifi28]

"timed console exclusive". I think it's pretty safe to assume it's on PC day one.

 

[nemiroff]

Trying to shoehorn Arma onto consoles? Hmm, will it break the community or not.. Will suddenly dying without having a clue how it happened be more or less fun this time. Will for sure be interesting to see the final result.

 

[Son_of_Zardoz]

Glad this is coming to consoles, just wish they'd cut off the last gen ones.

 

[M1chl]

Not a fan of BI company, but it looks good.

 

[salva]

Hyped if this is dropping on Xbox tomorrow/soon. While I'd love to play on PC, my PC is too shit.
Could easily spend a long time playing scenarios/editor

 

[amigastar]

Just a few hours left, can't wait.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

is this on a new engine? The one from arma 3 ran like shit.

 

[amigastar]

is this on a new engine? The one from arma 3 ran like shit.

Yep, new engine. It's called the Enfusion Engine. I hope Multiplayer runs better now.
Just two and a half hours to go.
I hope Beta starts soon.

couple of posts above you mentions a 2024/25 release date, not sure this will be dropping soon anywhere

Is that the engine Vigor runs on?

 

[amigastar]

I think Vigor runs on Unreal Engine.
The Enfusion engine is brand new and has not been used before.

 

[Gp1]

Better performance
Better CQC
Better AI and no more laser sight AI through grass
Better physics and gore model like the older games
Something like ACE and other mods completely integrated on the game.

Fuck it I'll day one anyway, like every other game in the series since OPF.

Arma Reforger /= Arma 4

 

[amigastar]

I remember Arma 3 had a beta and it cost about 25 Bucks. I hope Arma 4 will follow that route.

The game is pumping too. You’d think the people that bother playing it would wise up to the nature of comms.

Its my favorite shooter right now playing with friends is crazy satisfying

 

[BadBurger]

Going to try and watch. I very briefly got into the ARMA franchise via a dude I met on Steam playing some other game - he had a group of friends that were regulars so I was able to hop in and learn from them.

I really enjoyed the experience, thought the open design was novel for the genre, and appreciated how deep many of the systems were, but I couldn't stick with due to A. the complexity and how involved everything was and B. the rather unstructured, sandbox, make your own fun gameplay. I think point B. is awesome, but I just didn't have the time to devote to the long sessions it takes to setup skirmishes and confrontations with other teams. So I am hoping the heart of this new release remains honest to its predecessors, but reduces the complexity and adds more structured activities. I don't want another CoD clone, but an ARMA that gets little closer to CoD.

Jesus that lady has too much cakeup on.

 

[daffyduck]

 

[amigastar]

Damn, was going to post that, anyways gonna try it out immediatly.

 

[daffyduck]

Yeah, she got carried away.

- Must have missed something, why is the chat saying Arma 4 in twenty years?
Must have meant the Enfusion Engine has been developed over the course of 20 yrs

 

[jaysius]

Should've been gamepass, GL to creating a community for a niche game on Xbox.

The BI brand is rough games that take forever to patch and full of jank.
