ARMA Reforger | The Future of the Arma Series
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- It's finally here - Arma Reforger is available today in early access, and Bohemia let us have an early look at it. It's still a testbed and clearly in the early days, but to see the foundation upon which a new Arma will be built is very, very cool.
I am currently down with the sickness (yes that one, no I'm not typing it out because of YT's bots), so this edit was a bit more strained than usual and I'm not sure if I'll even be awake or in any state to stream, but I hope you enjoy what I managed to put out regardless. I'm gonna go curl up in a ball of blankets now.
The two fellow creators who appeared in the Conflict section were:
Drewski: / operatordrewski
Karmakut: / karmakut
Music:
All of the music used in this video came from Bohemia, either tracks specifically for Reforger or Reforger variants of old classic Arma tracks.

Having a gmod-style dynamic mod loading system is gonna save so many hour long setup headaches (ie: Karkand)
Gmod you say? SIGN ME UP MY GOOD MAN!
The modding scene for this game is going to be absolutely ballistic. Just having all these smooth fundamentals and QOL improvements means people can do so much more and with less effort to make it work with basegame systems.
i cant wait for the zombie survival mod. gonna wait for 3 months before buying this game
@@45hopefull Do not be surprised if Bohemia files cease and desist against zombie mods for encroaching on DayZ. They are pretty cool about modders, but when you can get ArmA 4, and then get a zombie mod, that makes DayZ effectively redundant. Game Devs have done that in the past.
GMoD!!!!!!
New arma goes into early access
Rimmy: "if I Dont sound so happy..."
Me: "oh no it's not good!"
Rimmy: "I got covid today"
Me: "ohh phew That's a relief... Wait WHAT!"
Really tells the state of video game releases recently, If the person not sounding happy is because they have covid is a relief to the viewer....
I'd bet hes double vaxx and triple boosted too.
🤡
Covid will be temporary, glory of new arma will be forever
@@gamerz1172 I mean to be fair, these past few years have either been gaming masterpieces or utter trash
Like Battlefield and Half Life Alyx or Elden Ring and anything activion blizzard made in the past few years
@@alek7998 its been this since forever, we d
Just didnt heard from the bad ones
Rimmy "The btr is amphibious"
Water inside the btr
Rimmy "Oh"
Every amphibious vehicles are like that, even ships to an extent. Human ingenuity is how they cross water faster than how they take in water.
I also watched the video.
That seems to be roughly the Russian experience with their attempts at river crossings.
fun fact, the burst quirk of the M-16 you showed is unique to the M-16A2, it was a requirement for the A4 to have the system reset the burst mechanism if a partial burst was fired, and other burst fire weapons of the time had a reset implimented
I'm pretty sure our A4s did the same thing
im gonna coom if they ever add the famas and it's double fire selector system is implemented if they're gonna be that anal with firearm accuracy
isn't the A4 just an A2 with removable carrying handle
@@RoundenBrown that's more descriptive of the A3, though even in that case there's more to it
I'm pretty sure that the A4 does this same thing. i'd do a functions check next drill, but we were "refit" with the Auto (XXXXX over the burst and all, lol)
That transition in movement speed is so damn smooth - You don't just increase your "walking mode" speed and once you reach a certain threshold instantly switch into "running mode". The whole thing from walking to jogging to running to sprinting is one, continuous spectrum that naturally and realistically blends together.
Change is stance is like that too. very smooth, esp compared to the clank that was arma 3. looking ggoooood
meanwhile people are complaining that the controls are being too simplified for console users. like bruh this feels so more natural and realistic.
@@shoeby9273 People will find any reason to complain.
Examples of this can be found in MANY communities.
Anyways I agree this new movement looks amazing.
Seeing the inclusion of more logistics type gameplay with supplies is really cool, its one of the big things that drew me into games like Squad and Foxhole and can allow for some really good moments, because where you see a supply truck, someone else sees a possible ambush target.
Kleptomaniacs rejoice!
Nice to see foxhole being mentioned places
Yeah, if I were ever to join an arma group, I would want to be a logi guy, idk what as logi, but still logi
@@TycoonTitian01 Some of the craziest action I've seen is behind the wheel of a hemtt, losing the wheels to incoming fire, dismounting and unloading the munitions in the truck to use against the enemy. Logi can get crazy. Lots of shenanigans as a driver in other trucks and armored vehicles as well. Something for everyone.
There was a simple logistics one on Arma 2 and 3 on capture the island game modes.
I play a lot of Capture the island and what I'm glad about this new engine is that it looks like we can have over 100 Ai's in one battle without losing any frames.
we can finally play a proper RTS, spamming armor and infantry into town while hitting it with artillery using AI, and looks like it'll still run smoothly
Ok, I'm gonna be real here, I lost when rimmy took the BTR to the water saying "There we go we are amphibious after all!" then looked back inside saw all the water, zoomed on the door and said "Uh-oh." That killed me right there.
"There we go we are amphibious after all!"
The water in the BTR: O_O
The Russian Military Experience, 2022
yeah rimmy is one funny dude
The tarkov-style speed and stance adjustments are certainly a welcomed addition for the wide range of control over movement!
thank you tactical toaster
Kinda looks more like Red Orchestra/Rising Storm imo
thank you tactical toaster
@@stalkerino9532 hi stalkerino
@@stalkerino9532 Hello stalkerino. Didn't know you watched Rimmy. Small world for small gamers 😎
Being a Zeus for a whole year has made me REALLY appreciate the new game master features. No longer spending whole nights one man QA testing a jank op. I am gonna rest so god damn easy tonight!
beeing a zeus makes me miss a real editor tho. cant wait for it to come
Amen brother
8:18 Nice to see a .50cal actually destroying a light vehicle quickly like it is supposed to.
The BDU's are giving me flashbacks.
Ok the Radio thing is very cool.
Ok I know this is kinda a weird place to put this, but I want to say it. Even tho I don't watch your content as much anymore, you literally made my childhood. You introduced me to battlestar galactica, space engineers, warhammer 40k, homeworld, and a whole bunch of other shit. Watching your space engineer survival videos (both old and new) as they came out always made my day. So I just wanted to say thank you for such amazing content.
You inspired me to get all of the cool space games,thanks
@@jgrantrichardson3748 Thank you for the kind words. Super happy I could be positive bit of someones life just doing things I enjoy! :D
So thank you!
Hey shack, great to see you here! You got me into empire of war and space engineers, so thanks for that. I still watch your playthroughs every so often, thanks for the entertainment gamer!
Ay @TheXPGamers! What's up Captain Shack, how ya doin' man?
I think it's really neat that your bullets spark off of your enemy's guns, so you can potentially not kill your target because you put a round into their rifle instead of their heart.
I think thats in Arma 3 already.
@@535phobos Yea, had that happen a few time in A3
@@535phobos arma 3 had the most insane bullet simulation hence why it kills FPS.
Happens ALL the time in arma3
If the AI just wore guns they would be invincible.
Seeing the well furnished interiors, I get a feeling that all the Roleplay, Survival and Sandbox mods are gonna be next level once Arma 4 drops.
The interior looked good for stress testing purposes but I wonder what kind of tools they provide for decorating purposes, as well as how taxing the furnishing is in the end.
oh god you're right, it's gonna attract even more of that kind of player
fucking hell, the sewage pipeline has just gotten an upgrade to draw in even more garbage
i swear, with arma 3 altis life the player base has gotten so much worse and toxic, the days of nearly every day some modder schmuck showing up and just throwing around explosions are becoming sweet nostalgic memories of better days
Its basically port from Day Z so the RP stuff is gonna shine
Less than 5 hours is all it took for an RP server to sprout up... yes... there is already an RP server.
I hope the furniture is not "baked" into the interior. It would be immersion-breaking to see an intact room after a grenade explodes there.
My biggest questions are server resource utilization, is it going to be stable when large servers are running a lot of PC connections at the same time alongside the NPC's, server lag issues of being ARMA'd for driving to close(or fast) to anyone else, if hitscan is serverside or clientside, mod stability... you know, things that could make or break a fun experience online...
@Tylon Holmes Not if you got ARMA'd, you won't
@Tylon Holmes That's irrelevant. Rewriting serverside software isn't spectacular nor does it bring in customers when solution can always be "just get better hardware lmao".
Squad also has these problems as well.
Okay. Ten minutes into this New Arms video Rimmy. And I'm seeing massive comprehensive improvements to the base game of Arma. If it take Bohemia 5 more years to finish this product with all the stuff you've shown and any else they plan. I'm very glad to wait and a bit more for the final product.
And please oh Lord of Haven & Hell. No day 1 fucking patches please!
Actual Competent developers who USE their time
@@BariBro dude do you know how tough making a game is, I can assure that almost no game dev wastes their time.
@@Kronos_LordofTitans As a Battlefield fan, cant say your statement applies to Battlefield 2042 :(
@@comradekenobi6908 Or Vanguard. Or BOCW. Or MW2019, even. Any COD game within the last 5 years.
@@JoMiMi_h agreed
I've been dissapointed by new additions in old franchises for a long time, but I am so happy that ARMA reforger looks THIS good, I can't wait to pick it up!
Looks like arma devs want to take it slow to make it really worth buying
As someone with a fairly low end computer, I've put hundreds of hours into Arms CWA over the years, being one of the only games I'm able to run it on high specs. Seeing it's world with 22 years of graphical improvement is nothing short of phonominal!
I am very excited for the next game but the only two things I am worried about are a lack of single-player content and the inventory system. If you are in the middle of a firefight, you are not going to mess around with squares in your inventory. You would just chuck it in your bag and go. The single-player content is kind of a small thing considering how Reforger is a bridge to Arma 4, but the inventory system could be a thing that turns people away.
I get what you're saying, god knows how many times i've been clapped like that in Tarky. But in most milsims ops, you're not really fucking around with ur inventory, if you do i assume a double click will quick-equip / grab. Or the backpack can just be dragged onto the floor tiles. Idk, while it is a more complex system it wont necessarily make the game harder. finally, i hope it will bring an end to having 25 stanags in my shortshorts
I like the square inventory, but I'm really not sure if it's suited for this kind of game
@@TheEmolano yeah, i think it'll depend on the game type (milsim, casual, pvp). I havent played forger yet (its just 6am here). If its sluggish and takes 1min to grab 1xbullet, then yeah nah. but if its balanced i can see myself not minding it. Especially since i play quite slow milsim, where most of my needed equipment is already on me.
Lack of content will be fixed with the real release, the Arma 3 beta was awful compared to this one.
As a noobie in Arma 3, the inventory was quite a chore to get around- So to me, this square inventory is way easier to figure out and use and in addition: best part is that you can see all your inventories at once instead of having to keep switching between bags.
Rimmy: Owe fuck... he nailed me!
Archer: PHRASING!
12:23 oh boi, some companies really need to hear this phrase
With the workshop as evidence, they probably realised that a great deal of their players and content creators are continuing to play Arma 3 because of the mods, and that by providing more options for these mod creators the mods will be better and more numerous allowing for more replay value in later titles.
An outstanding looking mod reflects well on the creators of the base game as well, and can be good for attracting more players to the game.
It also just plain makes the game better too, so there's that.
Also if I understood it correctly the main reason they already included the Workshop in Reforger is for Mod Developers to already be able to start working on mods and then later when Arma 4 comes out to almost seeminglessly porting them over, which minimal adjustment needed.
So.... does that mean 40k, Halo and even Mech Warrior (with properly modeled and working mechs) mods will be a thing?! HELL YEAH
@@crocidile90 At some point probably :P but I bet the Modders are all just studying the Documentation for the Tools right now.
Not only this, but limited amounts of games on console can be easily modded, and I know of atleast 5 people, plus myself, who have out thousands of hours into the moddable games because of how much content there will be for it simply due to the community. Knowing the Arma community is very big into modding and realism, getting a niche game series finally on console like this, and having a workshop space for more content and possible community mods, this could be a huge boon that drives more people into playing it.
@@Vinci480 As one of the folks on one of the halo modding teams, we're more waiting for documentation to exist to experiment with porting things over, though likely nothing comprehensive until arma 4 itself proper
The fact that you have to look at the key to start the jeep and the lights to turn them on amazes me. Little details like that I love in games
Watching this I had flashbacks to wearing BDUs and using the M 16 A2 when I was in the Air Force... Hope you feel better soon my dude!
I see alot of improvements.
The added radios are great.
I like the snapping tool in the editor, i think that has alot of potential to allow new zeuses to shine.
Being able to change pretty everything about the game is amazing, the modding game is gonna be strong for Arma 4(when it comes out)
The Burst fire mode is absolutely real to life. that's how the M16/M4 actually functions exactly like this, and i am extremely happy to see this usually overlooked detail being made into an actual function.
I feel like I’m going back 21 years into the past to my first time on Everon, Malden and Kolgujev . It’s beautiful.
Yknow an Arma game that is styled in the Cold War, with some cool campaign missions would be interesting, especially considering how this seems like a WWIII situation.
I expect it to be as good as Arma 3, if not better.
I mean, Cold War Assault was in the CW, but it's nice to see it revisited on a modern engine with all the improvements that entails.
Tbf if ww3 breaks out tomorrow, every world powers would whip out all surplus cw era material and probably siphon civilian market stuff too
@@TheAtomicSpoon I dunno, I kinda liked the setting of Arma 3 more than CW.
@@alek7998 I don't think we've ever had a full scale CW game that was done justice. CWA was okay but nothing of the scale that we can do now. Pattons and Leo 1s going at T64s and T72s, F4s and F15s going at Migs, etc. A proper East vs West conflict? Sounds like a good time. But I'm burnt on the near future stuff at this point, so I'm obviously biased.
@@TheAtomicSpoon Thats fair ig, its just that im not a cold war fan personally, so bias as well
Looks surprisingly decent, but that house looks like the bane of large servers with all its furniture and I hope it'll be better optimized than Arma 3
I don’t necessarily play Arma I just kinda hover around it with videos like SovietWomble and Rimmy’s, this Reforger thing is pretty cool. I hope you get better Rimmy, getting covid sucks.
I can definitely for see some kind of base building mechanic being add to either Singleplayer or Multi-player content with those Nodules in the different towns. Really interested to see where this is headed.
Wow! As a console scrub myself, I'm impressed and excited with being given the opportunity to play an Arma game.
Same
I just said to my friends that it would be cool to be able to play arma but most of us didn't have the knowhow (me) or money (them) to properly set up a PC that can handle it, never mind setting up the mods to make it it fun and playable.
Now we will have that chance.
@@nielsmichiels1939 Yeah! I'm especially excited for any form of single player mode. I got a taste for the engine with Dayz but I always wanted to experience it through some form of single player content!
@@nielsmichiels1939
honestly Arma runs like crap even on beefier PCs
I'm still concerned with the game getting dumbed down for consoles. console parity is a cancer that's ruined many a good game
@@commisaryarreck3974 Reforger isn't a main release, ARMA 4 however, well it better be not a semi-mil-sim game.
Finally we console players can get that experience without having to us other games not meant for that because we can’t get a good PC. I’m honestly very happy about this
I've heard some fairly mixed opinions regarding Reforger but I genuinely think this is the best direction the Arma series can take. Arma 3 wasn't very intuitive a lot of the time, so a base game thats easier to onboard people onto without having to download a bunch of "necessary" mods is only a good thing. And, with the improved modding tools, anything that you don't like will be much easier to change. E.g. I personally don't like the lack of an interface for the radios, but I'm sure at some point the community will come out with a mod to rectify that. Even if I don't play much Arma these days, I've still bought this game to support BI and the development of Arma 4 - a vote of confidence if you will.
So glad we're getting a new Arma game. I can't wait to play it with the boys! Get well soon Rimmy
This looks so good. I just got back into Arma 3 and thought is was a bit to complex without a guide, but this looks way more elegant to learn.
Honestly I’m really happy to see it coming to Consoles, it’s such a wonderful series and I’m so happy that those that predominantly play or only are on console (me) can really get into this series!
Also sorry to hear that you got COVID, I hope you get to feeling better!
I’ve waited so long for this day
Well the original Operation Flashpoint games got ported to Xbox, those used to be the only mil sims type games available until Sandstorm I think
Honestly I hope the xbox version gets kbm support. As much as I love using a controller, it's just too unresponsive and a bit janky for Arma imo.
@@gamertardguardian1299 Lol Sandstorm milsim
Please note, I am only 10 mins into the vid, This is just something I noticed immediately. If this was said later on, Then hooray for me being on the right track!
A lot of the new mechanics added in this installment seem lifted right from DayZ, To the point where I'm pretty confident saying that they probably used DayZ as a huge test case for how all of this would work.
It looks so much like DayZ which is great actually. While Standalone wasn't that fun for a DayZ game imo, it was a great engine showcase. Looked and ran awesome and had some really cool animations. Glad they used their experience from that.
its been pretty obvious for years that DayZ was a test bed for new features including the enfusion engine itself.
if this was called DayZ Hud Update. i would have belived it.
Scroll wheel to control speed is so perfectly implemented in Star Citizen and Tarkov it really should just be a standard for these larger than life games. Makes everything feel so much smoother and completely removing the one and only downside of movement on a keyboard compared to a controller joystick - binary input.
I can seriously see myself driving round in a jeep, bumping into a BMP and getting wasted waiting for the get out animation to finish
I dropped like a measly 1000ish hours in Arma3, sadly I missed Arma 2 completely, but this is a really nice looking addition to the series, might even widen the niche audience
I hope you feel better Rimmy
Your content is amazing btw.
Well first I wish you well on your recovery Rimmy. Secondly, I'm looking forward to this and when it's out of Early Access. I hope AI is improved by then
the fact that the gun tilts when you are prone on uneven ground is something that really doesn't matter that much for the grand schemes, but show how Bohemia Interactive is putting attention to detail on the game.
I look forward to all the fusterclucks you guys will most certainly have in this new Arma! I wish you the best of luck Rimmy, your videos are a light of hope for me in these dark times.
I'm soo excited for zeus gameplay for this game. My PC won't ever be able to handle this game but I can sure as hell watch it!
Im actually looking forward to this, mostly the new turret controls seeing as im normally the gunner on almost all vehicles.
Having proper vehicle entry animations has been something I was hoping they would do, and seeing that it's going to be part of future Arma games is so cool! Something I hope they add with that is the ability for NPCs to rapidly exit vehicles at once, instead of the one-by-one way they do it in Arma 3. Troops should go rushing out of an APC when in combat, or when it come should form a perimeter around the back of the APC. I hope they add variety and formations to vehicle exiting!
OMG! Animations for getting into a Leman Russ! You could have a fully crewed Bane Blade. Loaders, Gunners, etc. So many possibilities. I also like how this can help new Zeuses get used to making game modes. And that snap mechanic, can help modders make assets with pre-set size parameters.
oh Rimmy, hope you're doing well man. Covid does not mess around. Get well soon :)
I can only imagine how cool the antistasi mod would look in this
22:30 these are probably the best shadows I’ve ever seen in a game
Just played the game there now for a couple of hours, I love it! I am extremely excited to see whats to come in the future in terms of modding and patches. Tanks and heli's I hope come really soon!
A lot of improvements in this, I especially like the improved destruction system even if it's pretty light on the damage. I especially enjoy there being no more spaghetti limb animations upon death, but it looks like they went back to a 'fixed death animation' style.
If the pianos don't have the option of playing, "Believe me, if all those endearing young charms" I might just take up modding and add it myself.
That opening music (and the rest of reforger's music) has a classic star wars feeling that I really enjoy. The kind of whimsical orchestral feeling that works perfectly with the classic opflash leitmotif.
1:35 "with myself, drewski, and karma"
Oh my god yes! My dream has come true!
"Little DayZ Chernarus hole over here."
I believe he meant...
Chernerussy.
I'm not a fan of the only-multiplayer way this game is going, which kinda sucks, but hopefully in arma 4 they actually have a campaign/singe player options
It's not going multiplayer only, it's just currently not fit for co-op gameplay. I speak about this in the video itself.
@@RimmyDownunder Right, you make a good point, but it's going to be heavily multiplayer focused (it was said in the leaked pdf file that was about marketing and brand). Having grown up with CWA, then played the first Arma (Sahrani conflict), Arma 2 then Arma 3, I really hope they don't make Arma 4 like squad, which is the vibe I get from reforger, but depending on the co-op modes they add later on, I might see how the game is then.
@@runnerxenomorph32 ArmA 3 (and in ArmA 2) was also very multiplayer focused, however ArmA's biggest edge has always been how it's more of a platform for realistic gameplay rather than just a game package - Bohemia have always been very open about their knewledge of this, and with the current editor for reforger you can expect great unofficial content for singleplayer as well as multiplayer from ArmA's community.
However whether or not reforger has a major offical singleplayer element or they are keeping that till ArmA 4 I can't tell and to my knowledge Bohemia hasn't told
Aaaaand that sounded like a great big bag-of-the-box text blurp, I'd suggest waiting a couple month and see if any singleplayer content is coming if you have no interest in multiplayer
@@nomennisceo6495 yeah that’s what I plan on doing honestly, I don’t find interest currently, but I’m glad that they only charge $30 and not $60, still eh but it’s not a full priced game luckily, so I can always get it again if things do change
I got really sick recently so the pain of being bed ridden is understandable. I hope you have a swift recovery!
Looking really good honestly I wasn't expecting all the detail.
Get well soon Rimmy!
The full-screen menu that pops up in zeus kinda scares me. Zeusing requires constant attention, which the menus on the sides greatly accomidated. This new full-screen system will sevearly limit what can be done and how quickly and dynamicaly the zeus can play. I.E i can spawna tank, heal someone, and hit a house with a lightningbolt all within seconds- all while moving my camera. This menu will require me to stop, open, and find the module, close, then repeat.
To be honest I feel it's a solution to another problem. Where the old system if you had too many groups open you could be locked out from selecting items because the old system would lock you out of scrolling to them without first closing the above groups.
I can see the disadvantage but I also see the advantage of the new system.
looks great, hope u have a speedy recovery!
Arma Reforger looks very promising so far. I'm really happy with the features the engine provides us with, and how they use it in Reforger. Looking forward to more videos from you, but please get well first, wishing you all the best!
I'd hope they bring back the Eden Editor, or at least something similar.
I always loved doing little movies and my own setpieces using it, and especially using the GCAM mod and others you could do basically anything with it.
Of course this is still early access and really impressive for that, I just hope that I will be able to do the same thing in this game :)
they are playing arma IRL rn. you can only pick RU or UA tho
This looks wonderful! I recently read Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, and am into that 90s style US military look.
I don’t even play arma but this has me so excited because I know it’ll allow amazing creators like rimmy to have even more visually appealing videos with bigger events and more awesome mods.
Get better rimmy, COVID isn't a joke my dude. I hope you are able to get past it because your videos actually make me laugh and I find joy with it.

@@Horizontalvertigo You do realize there is already a plethora of 40k mods for Arma 3 that have been going strong for years at this point right? My profile pic is literally my old uniform back when I was in the 700th Cadian 40k Milsim unit
@@Gibsland they're going strong because GW hasn't noticed them/doesn't care enough about them _at this time,_ that can change at any point without notice. GW's shown it's happy to kill major fan projects.
I wouldn't be shocked if BI won't allow mods that possibly infringe on copyright on their internal mod launcher, or at the very least, will kill any mod if it's pointed out to them by the IP holder.
Fine enough if the Steam workshop keeps going/other methods of modding are available, and GW doesn't decide that allowing the fan mods is a risk to their IP/income.
My overall point is that GW has demonstrated that it's hostile to fan content that isn't made on their terms.
Loved the video @Rimmy - Downunder Gaming! Can't wait for the next video man! Imagine doing a "Falklands War" Style Campaign in ArmA Reforger!
This looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see what the complete game looks like and all of the missions and videos you guys will do. Plus can't wait to see what the modding community does.
Get well soon, Rimmy!
The biggest problems I've always had with the previous ARMA games have been the poor performance, even on beefy setups, and the movement, which feels remarkably unnatural. Immersive, perhaps, but lacking in smoothness and polish. Now, while I would admit that it helps ARMA stand out from the generic military-themed-shooter crowd, I would insist that the camera feeling as though it's locked half a foot in front of your character's face, no matter what he's doing, is very uncomfortable. You can really feel it if you're moving forward and turn to the left or right, or even if you're standing still, it's almost nauseating.
If the movement systems can be refined to feel more natural, or at the very least more comfortable, I'd happily dive into the series again. I've had hundreds of hours in ARMA 2's CTI maps alone, and been a part of a few big ops in 3, there's really not many games like it out there. And of course, if performance can be improved, that would make it even better.
Would you look at that, an Arma fan who is willing to actually criticize the game instead of making excuses for lazy ass Bohemia. Bravo Sir.
Neat concept. Way too high price tag.
Also A+ Editing already mate.
its only 24 pounds my guy
Bruh what? 30 is a perfect price.
I'm cheap, but calling $30 "way too high" is a bit excessive. Especially for new Arma. Arma 3 base is still $30 on Steam.
Rimmy’s carried out a dark magic ritual to sacrifice his health for superior ARMA.
watching this I can hear my pc crying at the thought of having to render all this
the turret maneuverability reminds me a little of Lost Planet: EC, the original. started playing it again recently and i remember why i loved it way back when
Hope yoir feeling better my dude. Ibe had 3 variants of covid but ive always had super mild symptoms. Hope you feeling gooder
Did you say... "Procedural animation editor"?
Time to make the ancient geek Spartan SOF mod.
Thought you sounded slightly different Rimmy - hope you get better soon!
This is a good start for what we need for the next Arma, hopefully they keep going strong.
There’s also an animation for getting in and out of vehicles - you slam doors 😂
I didn't even know I wanted some of these features, but now my life feels empty without them...
Oooh!!! Logistics! Magnificent! That means fairly realistic strategery possible.
That reminds me of so many hours of MSOs on Zargabad.^^
Hope you feel better soon Rimmy!
Ok. When this comes out completely, I am totally getting it.
As someone who would spend entire days in Halo Forge and Gmod creating military stuff when I was a kid, this looks like a lot of fun
Okay, as somebody who only watches Arma content, not an actual player, holy moley, this is a gigantic step up from Arma 3. The immersion factor, graphics, attention to detail in the controls, amazing looking UI, basically everything, that I can SEE looks tremendous. Don't know how it feels to play, but it is already a joy to watch this whole thing in action.
Looks very promising...
Can't wait to see what modders are able to knock together when this comes out.
Now THIS is Advanced Warfare!
Nice of Bohemia to basically give you an entire kit of dev tools for this engine. I imagine the quality of total conversion mods is basically going to skyrocket from now on. Imagine a fully-animated Iron Harvest Smialy mech, with bayonet charge features.
The gameplay looks so smooth and i hope it runs well.
Rimmy and Drewski is a combination I hope to see more of in the future
This looks very cool. I was very into ArmA 2 and then 3 back around 2010-2014 or so, but haven't touched ArmA 3 much these last few years. Mainly because it's a lot of commitment and stress dealing with a group to play it, and the group I used to play with no longer really plays it. But if this game - or something like ArmA 4 can build on what ArmA has been properly - it might be a good time to pick it all back up.
No idea how much time has passed since you recorded this, but don't die, man. You're one of my primary sources for all my unoriginal jokes.
At this point, ARMA is bound to be a life simulator rather than a wargame. Especially with the ability to play musical instruments.
One thing I hope it keeps is when you play mods it automatically compiles all the mods you need or go togetehr without having to find it manually or if you forget. It was such a life saver
Arma 3 works like that when you launch the game from the launcher.
Wow, a return to Cold War Assault’s map? That’s awesome! I remember playing through both campaigns back in university, since my laptop couldn’t run anything more technically intense than AOE2 and Warband lol
From a game play standpoint its barebones, but from an engine upgrade its insane how much of the little details that were missing are now here.
this feels a lot like if arma3 and squad had a baby, but with an updated engine. Seems amzing, really excited to see what the community will bring to this. Also nice to see the inclusion of all the old assets, yet not copy and pasting them, but just adding/updating textures.
Rimmy: Uploads video about the future of the ARMA series.
Me, who has played all of 4 hours of ARMA and was annoyed at a bug in the campaign: Ah perfect, I will consume this content immediately.
nice to see it doesn't run like a potato
Edit: holy crap, furniture in buildings?
This looks like a cool project that could go far
