Doesn't sound like it will be out anytime soon which is disappointing. Can't wait to play it though..

CaptCalvin4144d ago

Wasn't really expecting this to be released this year anyway.

BlackIceJoe4144d ago

It would be interesting if it was delayed to come on on the next gen systems too. Then more people can play these great games too.

BALLARD324144d ago

That would be cool. I've always wanted to get into ArmA but have never had the money to build a PC that could handle it.

CaptCalvin4144d ago

Or it could be the fact that the studio is going through some strange circumstance where 2 of their devs got imprisoned.

FantasyStar4144d ago

I could see it working if KB/M was allowed. Otherwise, there just isn't enough buttons on a controller to really sustain ArmA.

Coming soon to an Xbox 720 near you....

Won't sell well on 720.

no perks and no waves of enemies.

And also it's hardcore sim.

Lvl_up_gamer4144d ago

Won't need to sell well. Developers are putting it onto the PC as well where it most likely will sell well...if not pirated to death.

At least the devs will know that it will sell on the 720 if it's a launch title since the 720 won't be hacked by then at launch, and just like all launch titles on new consoles, they generally sell well since the amount of games available at launch are very slim with little competition. Just look at Resistance on the PS3 and compare it's sales to the rest of the game sales in the franchise even though there were many millions more consoles on the market at the time of their release.

ArmA will sell just fine if there are limited amount of military shooters to compete against it on the 720 at launch.

Bohemia’s war against Arma 3’s misinformation misuse

From GI.biz: "Back in October, a video clip started doing the rounds on social media, showing what appeared to be the Ukrainian artillery attacking Russian tanks. The footage was shared thousands of times across social media platforms.

There was just one small problem; the footage in question was not real.

It was, in fact, a video of gameplay from Arma 3, a military simulation title made by Czech studio Bohemia Interactive.

This is far from the first time the game has been used to fake footage of warzones. In the past, Arma 3 has been used to spoof videos of conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as military action between Israel and Palestine. It’s even been used to fake videos of a fictional war between India and Pakistan. This isn’t even the first time that footage of the Ukrainian war has actually turned out to be Arma 3 footage."

When these videos make their way into mainstream news it just shows me how incompetent these networks are. You could blame YouTubers, click bait titles, you could try to do something about it as the dev, but these are huge news networks with a lot of money poured into em and hundreds of employees. Perhaps if they weren't so set on being first they'd ensure that they aren't putting out fake footage as often as they do.
