Top 5 Wanted Upcoming Features in Arma 4
Let's take a moment to speculate on some of the most hyped features that players are begging to bring into Arma 4. We'll cover and speculate on a few of the top request features for Arma 4 - I must say and state this is purely speculation, there is very limited information on Arma 4 publicly available.
However with that said, Arma Reforger gives a little peep into what we can expect game engine-wise, and graphics on what we can expect at a minimum to make the platform of Arma 4.
Improved Visuals
We can rest easy knowing that Arma 4 will have some of the most cutting-edge technology in graphical enhancements to the Arma series as we can already experience a small part of it in the Arma Reforger game. We can assume that the Graphics will be even more realistic and much better when Arma 4 actually launches.Â
Realistic Weather System
We can expect a much more detailed and simulated weather system to be in Arma 4 again going off Arma Reforger, with what we can already experience. However, we might be able to historical weather events enter the series. Arma 3 introduced Zuse mode which also brought in Lightning strikes, so it would be amazing to think what we can expect to enter for Arma 4 - could potentially be tornados and tsunamis or a Real-Time weather system even.
A nice touch in Arma Reforger is that fire and smoke will move with the wind - so as the wind direction changes, the smoke will rise and move with the wind.Â
Interactive and Destructible Environments
We saw this enter in Arma 3 where the building could be leveled and destroyed, there wasn't much animation it would really just swap out a model of a house for a destroyed house. Which was perfectly fine when Arma 3 realised, however, we nearing Arma 4. It would be amazing to see real-time destruction of buildings, blow parts of buildings up, and see that section damaged.
AI Adaptability
We're seeing the adoption of AI across the gaming industry, I've been covering a lot of AI entering the Flight Simulator industry. However, it'd be amazing to see how AI could be implemented into the Arma 4 platform and how it could be used. Whether it's used in the AI enemy and teammates making them smarter, with realistic voices, or in terms of events happening in the real world and conflicts we could part take in-game.
Improved Netcode and Server Stability
We saw a mix of both steps ahead and steps backward with the launch of Arma Reforger and their server system management there. It's amazing and far more advanced than anything we've seen in the series in the past. With seamless connection and downloading of mods to servers - and at the same time, the server list can break and connection loss is a lot more common now. We'd love to see improvements in Arma 4 on this - the overall system is flawless and amazing, but connectivity is the issue.
