===============
这是提要：
Compared to ARMA, we're concentrating on the following improvements for ARMA 2:
- Campaign with RPG elements, and with a story combined with dynamic events
拥有RPG元素的战役，以及联合了动态事件的故事。
- Improved AI, especially in Close Quarter Battles
改进的AI，尤其在CQB方面
- AI using taunts and hand signals for coordination and increased immersion
AI使用嘲弄和手语进行协同以及增加的沉浸
- Much more realistic terrain, based closely on real world data
更真实的地形，几乎基于真实世界的资料
- Optimizations for dual/multi core systems
为双核以及多核进行了优化
- Console and PC release
更多的游戏平台以及PC平台。
And as usual, there are some changes which are perhaps not that important, but we still hope they will help to make ARMA 2 a more enjoyable game.
还有些跟游戏本身没有多少关系，但是BI仍然希望改进的地方来完善游戏的方面：
- Increased facial detail 增加的面部细节
- Increased vegetation detail 增加的植被细节
- Ambient animals 周围的动物
- Improved building destruction (we will return to this in some future blog)
改进的建筑物损毁（我们将在未来的博客中回到这个问题上）

还有就是详细说明了：它详细，我简单地发表一下看法
Improved AI, especially in Close Quarter Battles
I guess most of you have already watched closely the AI video which was available at Tiscali after GC. I have seen a lot of positive reactions to that (and some nitpicking as well) Given the video was taken from a very early build, I am confident that what will be delivered in the game will be even more impressive than what you have already seen. The best part of it is that the system is fully dynamic - no AI scripting or player commanding required.
关键：AI系统最好的部分就是充分的动态——无需AI脚本或者玩家控制（应该指自由作战时，玩家不再像保姆那样照顾每个AI）。
Campaign with RPG elements
The main single player mode will cast the player in the role of a USMC deep reconnaissance team commander. This small team of specialists, acts as a prolonged and highly specialized arm of the central command, taking part in a large peace-making operation “Harvest Red”. As the story unfolds, the player takes advantage of resource management and role playing elements which help him progress through the deep combat simulation. Communication with non combatants and members of factions present in the area are essential for success. The player can also switch to any member of the squad to get full detailed control at any time during the gameplay.
玩家将扮演USMC深入侦搜队指挥官。这个精英小队正参加一个大型的“红色丰收”调停行动。随着故事的展开，玩家要利用资源管理和角色扮演元素，这些内容可以帮助你在深入的战斗模拟中发展。与非战斗人员以及小集团的成员的交流是成功的根本。玩家也可以随时选择小组中的任何成员进行更详细的控制。
AI using taunts and hand signals
We are going to sell you junk.... well, not really, but to some extent we really do, but do not be afraid, it will be recycled junk. There is a lot of real work done to make AI smarter and more human like. One part of this work is somehow special, though. While identifying weak areas of our AI, we came across one which is very interesting - our AI does a lot of things which are smart, but very hard to notice. What we are trying to do now is to "sell it" - to make sure AI communicates more about what it thinks, using taunts, hand signals, or other animations. While this will not make the AI any smarter, it should make it look better, more life like, increasing the immersion.
BI的目的就是要把AI弄得人性化，虽然可能不会十分聪明，但看起来像个人在思考。
Realistic Terrain
Charnarus is a fictional post soviet country. The map is based on real landscape in the Northern part of the Czech Republic and it covers about 100 square kilometers of terrain: from coastal industrial areas with a large port, to deep pine forests and mountain villages. The environment is designed in the Autumn time to give it a special atmosphere. See the Landscape Almost Real article for more information about our approach to the creation of a realistic game map.
大而真实的地形，没话说了，BI的强项。只要不是很耗资源就可以了。
Dual core / multi core optimizations
The advent of multiple cores means a real challenge for any developer. We identify this as one of the main possible areas to achieve a higher frame rate in our engine but we also know this is not going to be a walk in the park.
The switch to dual / multi core technology is a very big change, hardly comparable to anything computers have gone through during the last ten years. While some parallel technologies were already developed even some 30 years ago, it never became part of mainstream practice and the whole development chain is completely unprepared for it (including programmers education). Still, we are confident ArmA 2 will be able to bring significant improvement in this area. We are aiming for a mix of fine-grained and coarse-grained parallelism, similar to the way most other game developers seem to do. What we would like to see is better frame rate, smarter AI, and more units, however it is too soon to be able to really promise anything in this respect until the technology is implemented and well tested.
对双核和多核的优化。大势所趋。不知道能不能对显卡也优化好。
Console Release
There are various possible ways to look at a console release of ARMA 2: some hard core PC gamers don't like it much and are worried it may dumb down the game somehow. Others are happy to be able to look forward playing such a complex combat simulation on consoles.
Anyway, for Bohemia Interactive it is the only logical step. PC gaming is declining overall, especially (but not only) in North America. The PC platform suffers because of many severe compatibility and stability problems and the transition to Windows Vista does not help the platform in this regard over the short term. The good thing is that we are already experienced with consoles after our long struggle with Operation Flashpoint Elite for Xbox . We already know what we like and dislike regarding the development (and playing) of a combat simulation game on console, and with this hard earned knowledge we feel in the case of ARMA 2 this multiplatform approach is not only a commercially viable move but it also helps the game to be better on both platforms. All we want is to make it a more accessible and streamlined game than the current ARMA is. For that we do not need and do not want to remove anything that made Operation Flashpoint and ARMA so immersive and our focus on realism in the sense of open simulated game world will remain unchanged.
多种游戏平台。不知道有多少人喜欢在非PC下玩ARMA这种游戏。
To be continued
Thank you for reading. We will share more details about each of the ARMA 2 features briefly covered in this blog in some of the next blog posts by ourselves or by other members of BI dev team.
我还会回来的。 |
