It doesn't really look like an all new engine. Are just adding features to this really old engine? I really hope this one is 64 bit and is optimized for multi-core CPUs.

 

It's a shame that the interviewer failed to ask any useful questions at all.

It's a little early to be commenting on specifics I think at this point. It's impossible to tell through that video if it's indeed a new engine or an updated version of the old.

 

They're calling it arma 3 for a reason I would suspect. Perhaps the interviewer asked the questions but there was no comment at this point from BI so that part was cut out. Who knows, gameplay vids first to wet the pallette of the casual user. Specifics later for the rest.

It is indeed a re-iteration on the old engine that BIS has been using since OFP came out. And considering the state of computing, it will probably have both 64 bit support and be better optimized for multi-core CPUs.

If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

I'm skeptic about the rag-doll physics implementation. It has been misused for over a decade. Animations done by animators that sucked were being replaced that animations that still sucked because animators think rag-doll will do everything for them. Personally I have very little respect to the animators 'achievements'. ArmA needs a guy that actually does the thinking (see the video). I don't what the rest of the bunch is being paid for.

 

It's good that proper physics implementation will at least deal with tanks shamelessly humping each other.

If you feel like following the most recent news I'd suggest monitoring armaholic.com. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14454 A lot of video coverage. Basically they'll get what should be done some time ago ;) Either way I nothing comes close to neither ArmA nor ArmA 2. Well, maybe Hidden and Dangerous 2 ;)
