Actually, in both middleware packages I use, you can adjust the texture size by build target...
But that is besides the point, earlier today I was marveling at a steel door in C2 that had some sort of normal map on it, that lined up perfectly with the texture, and it was seamless... It looked almost just like you would expect a steel door to look, and I was never able to get close enough to see the texture filtering, on that particular texture.
In any case, ...
Personally I prefer the irony of the constant criticism on Microsoft giving into the casuals that we see on n4g, and here we have a casual developer being shown the door by Microsoft but the same people who are critical of Microsoft and casual games, are all the sudden all up in arms about Microsofts treatment of this casual developer.
And they will all be angry at me and troll rate me because I don't share their irony imparement...
A real quick reading of the wiki page on reveals that only 5% of the people who have the game actually paid for it, and they had to lower the price to $5 in an effort to extract some money from the pirates. So much for that whole publishing on PC and Mac thing they have going on. I hope they have more luck with tablets.
Would have been a neat game with Kinect controls.
If they want to self publish the game they are free to go to the Indy game store, or find another publisher to bring the game to XBLA.
This is just some primadonas stiring shit up to try and promote their game with irrational Microsoft hatred, which you fell for hook line and sinker.
Wow, you are totally right, Kinect is a total failure.
you misspelled "garage"
But if they embrace the indy spirit, lets see the public sdk. Mmmmkay.
Halo Reach is a day one buy for me when it is on Games On Demand for $20 with some included map packs.
I question their review, I just played through my second time and I was able to stealth most of the game. Game time goes down to about 4 hours if you stealth everything...
Sucker Punch wouldn't have been so awful if they had clothing damage in it. But then it also certainly would not have been PG13...
Errr scratch that... Other than the pure awsomeness of a super mash up of every genra of movie ever made, this movie was irredeemably bad.
I clicked through and I am not sure where that numerical review came from, I didn't see the reviewer give it a numberical review at all. In fact the reviewer said that this is the best looking console game to date, and that the story was fantastic. His only gripe was what we all already knew and that is that the ai breaks sometimes...
Well Microsoft looked at the amazing varity and quality of core multiplats coming out, and made a gut check and decided that they didn't ~need~ a whole bunch of core exclusives this year, and so far they played it exactly right, the exclusives on other consoles are not exactly setting any records.
At the same time they wanted to focus on their new platform, Kinect, and are focusing on exclusives for that platform, because it is a unique thing.
Edit: ...
Sony will start releasing these titles multiplat because they want to make money. Especially if they don't sell as well as games like Homefront...
Not really, of the big four FPS games released in the last month, the one that is exclusive seems to be the lowest selling title...
I mean damn, Homefront is gonna outsell that one title...
If these kinda sales keep up all year, those title are gonna be released as timed exclusives, and I may just stay away from n4g when that happens...
Funny I was just playing Crysis 2 MP(Best looking game on console btw, cvg and ign both agree), must be a problem on your end. Are you sure you know how to set up your router?
I can verify, xbox.com works from both my computer and xbl is working fine on the xbox as well.
This is a BS article.
The game that gave me a fondness for the color red.
And lower resolution...
There is no displacement map details built into the game so what exactly are you hoping DX11 to improve upon???
Presumiably, we have another 2 years of exclusive stomping multiplats coming out built on Cryengine 3. Maybe we can get Farcry 3 now, but not boring this time??? Maybe a new IP or 2 now that there is this fantastic middleware to work with.
*** spoilers ***
Stop reading now if you havent played...
No really stop...
The flood looks amazing, make sure you run down that street as fast as you can so you get right up on it when it starts.
