The US Army Has One of the Prettiest Video Games On the Planet

By |

Remember back in May, how we showed you that footage from the US militaryā€™s new ā€œvideo gameā€ simulation suite? Well, itā€™s back. And it looks more amazing than ever.

To recap, this is the Dismounted Soldier Training System (DSTS), a new simulation tool for the US Army. Itā€™s cost the government nearly $60 million to develop, but if you get to use it youā€™ll probably think itā€™s totally worth it, as itā€™s designed to be played not on a screen, but in a virtual reality rig, complete with goggles.

A lot of what youā€™re seeing here, especially in the second video, arenā€™t ā€œlevelsā€ in the traditional sense, theyā€™re massive outdoor environments being rendered by CryEngine 3 (the engine that powers Crysis 2).

Looks like a very pretty version of ArmA. Which makes me want to play this. Badly
