Manufacturers of Arma and DayZ unveiled Enfusion, the new cross-platform game engine with which they plan to build future games. No, Bohemia Interactive hasn’t announced Arma 4 yet, but they say they’ll be using Enfusion for “any potential new Arma game”, so maybe that’s something to keep in mind when looking at its screenshots. about the vast landscape. While they don’t have much more than screenshots and a small video to show right now (sorry, engine enthusiasts), they do hint that they will release some sort of “playable demo”. about its features” at some point “soon”.
Enfusion’s new website says their goal is not “to be flexible with advanced graphics technology”, but to make the world “more believable” with well-lit day and night cycles, vegetation moving in the wind , the stars illuminate the night sky and all that. At the same time, they say that the game will run better on it. They are also planning good mod support (important for Arma), even on Xbox and PlayStation. More details and mods and tech and stuff on the site.
Bohemia notes that it used Enfusion’s original parts in DayZ, including the renderer, but it also builds on previous generation games so they consider it “a mix of old technology and new”. So what you saw there is not what you should expect from the future.
Managing Director Marek Špan & ecaron; “Ever since Bohemia Interactive was founded 22 years ago, we have always made it a priority to use our own in-house tooling,” says l in. notice. “There is no other tool available on the market that allows us to create the kind of games we want, i.e. simulations with detailed physics that operate in a large-scale open world where players and communities can be easily customized.Nothing has changed about that.However, our old Real Virtuality, for example, used in our title Arma 3, increasingly goes against the limits of our technology. On the other hand, Enfusion is poised to face future technological challenges and won’t exaggerate shaping our games decades into the future.”
Yes, but what about bee ball?
Bohemia says it plans to soon publicly release “the engine itself” with developer tools and documentation, along with an “official playable demo of its features”. But they say they currently have no plans to license Enfusion to other studios to produce games in it. Curious to see what that demo will look like. I love a tech demo with beautiful trees.
Get more screenshots in the announcement, if you want to admire the hills and forested hills. No one is surprised to include some military vehicles.
