ARMA 3 To Release Community Alpha

[iLLGT3]

 

Stewards of military simulation (and makers of the best emergent gameplay anywhere, if you ask me) Bohemia Interactive have outlined their plans for Arma 3 in 2012.Bohemia wants to get early feedback on the game to assure a smooth release. That’s deeply reassuring. An Arma 3 “Community Alpha” will release sometime after E3 in June to facilitate this. Read on for more information about the alpha, mention of new features, brand new screenshots, and a Q&A with two of the devs about Arma 3 in 2012.

The big blog update, typed by Project Lead Daniel Musil (also interviewed below, with Creative DirectorJay Crowe) expresses Bohemia’s development priorities and reiterates some features they’re particularly excited about. That includes “completely new” motion-captured animations, which Bohemia says will result in new gameplay features (I’d be very happy if that meant military hand signals were being added). Bohemia reiterates that DirectX 10/11 is implemented and working, that A3 will integrate fixes introduced in Arma 2 1.60, and that Limnos will be the biggest map in the series. One of the new screens also shows working, reflective mirrors on vehicles as well as an in-vehicle video feed—both of which should make a first-person perspective while driving more viable.
