Hi all

Yet another article is out about ArmA looking better than Crysis. This seems to be the current view in the Gaming Press.

know Crysis and KillZone 2 received a heck of a lot of praise for their graphics, but Arma II is literally right up there with them, if not a stride ahead. The game looks stunning, simply stunning. A new trailer was released and you can view it along with some exclusive new screen captures right here at Blend Games...

ArmA is shaping up to be the best Game of 2009.

I think it is time to discuss this in the forums.

Kind regards walker

I do definitely think Arma 1s graphics are underrated on the higher settings.
I impressed people with it on a LAN in 2007, with 3rd view, walking along a company of armored vehicles kicking up sand as they invaded Rahmadi town.
But it downscales horribly for less powerful computers. Turn off the grass, and suddenly it almost looks like OFP again.
And a few of the objects are a bit basic seen up close.

Well my opinion is that Arma 2's graphics are photo realistic.

ArmA 2 has for sure the best looking vegetation so far

The scenery is just stunning!

**mr.g-c** · Feb 26 2009, 15:24

Not only vegetations, but also the textures and models!
Remember that one old 2008 Screenshot where a BRDM was on the left side of the screen and it looked like from a photo?

Can't find it right now - sorry!

I agree, ArmA had good graphics but unless you had a 3 ghz processor or more it would run quite poorly, thank god for the dual core optimism.

ArmA II's graphics are simply outstanding, probably the best graphics I've seen in a long time.

I agree, ArmA II looks better than any other game (that simulates normal world) I've seen.

And if the gameplay sucks? Well then we have a nice photorealistic screensaver with some civilians eating from their nose and working on their cars

Theres a lot of "pre-rendered trailer, game will not look anywhere as good as this" in this thread,
which is strange for me, since most of it isn't far off what we already have in Arma 1, at least with addons.

They'll be eating their words in a short while.
