The United States Army is funding what could the most realistic military simulator ever developed, and they're doing it with the same technology that powered Crysis 2.
The U.S. Army is spending $57 million on what's essentially the most realistic video game ever made. And they're using Crytek's CryEngine 3 technology to power the new combat simulator, which means soldiers will get an exclusive gaming experience that goes well beyond Crysis 2 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Can't believe they had the nerve to use COD as a simulator?
none the less I'm glad to see Crytek's engine showing up in other games. I personally love their engines, they just never end up in any decent games. I think this is the 3rd one I've seen for cry engine 2
CY: There is a whole industry in serious games, and we have a lot of contracts going on from gas and oil companies, General Electric, all the way to SOCOM. We have a lot of military companies working with our technology, in fact.
So you provide simulation and training software?
CY: Technologies, simulations, contract work, whatever they need and whatever they want. We have a studio for serious game development. That studio is a subsidiary of Crytek, but it's not called Crytek. It's studio number seven -- so secret I didn't even mention it! [laughs]
"U.S. ARMY TO USE FIRST-EVER, FULLY IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL SIMULATION TRAINING FOR AMERICAN SOLDIERS"
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
That's a game for promotional and recruiting purposes as JB said.
The product this thread discusses isn't a "game" that will ever be made publicly available, and it needs special hardware to be operated (although I'm not sure the OP realized that).
Quote:
The new Dismounted Soldier Training System (DSTS) from tech company Intelligent Decisions will enable U.S. soldiers, leaders, and units to train within a photorealistic video game environment that features real weather conditions, squad interactions, and advanced motion sensor technology for full 360-degree movement in-game. The Army will have 102 systems in place globally in January 2012.
Quote:
Soldiers will gear up with special head-mounted displays on their helmets to bring the virtual world to life, but they'll still have some real-world peripheral vision to ensure they don't bump into their squad mates. Each soldier will put on a backpack, called a "man wearable system," which is essentially a maxed-out gaming laptop (although one you wouldn't be able to buy at any retailer).
Quote:
The training area consists of a 10-by-10 foot pad for each soldier to operate within. A full range of motion is captured in the game, allowing soldiers to move and look in any direction. Firing weapons is handled using a joystick. Voice communication is done in-game amongst squad mates.
I think it's more like VR..

So true.
I wonder if they will include instructions of how to deal with depleted uranium shells in this simulator so your genes and health won't be fucked up. Knowing this is for the army of new Rome I guess not.
