Single player is basically an interactive movie (Halo, Gears, uncharted, etc). Other games are sandbox games (GTA4, Saints Row), others are creative (Minecraft, LBP, Spore) and so many other types and combinations as well.
If all games are online only, it is because of company greed trying to make sure you pay every dime you can.
The article claims you have have to have a "single player" exprience that has some sort of online component such as demon...
LOL engine needing to be designed for it?....It is two cameras instead of one, that's it, hardly complex at all.
On console, all you need to do is see what graphics you have to turn off or lower, resolution drop, all that "fun" stuff.
Claymores mostly were used as a way to protect a sniper while he had a good position and didn't have to constantly keep checking behind him.
You know, you keep saying nuclear power but from benchmarks done on the Alpha (which is obviously not as optimized) at 1080P, DX11 and max setting, it was amazingly similar performance to Bad Company 2 on PC. Talk about one hell of a good engine.
I don't really see this as competition. It is anti-competitive.
If Origin had features better than Steam and consumers drift to Origin, that is competition because the consumer could decide between which service.
If EA blocks Steam from having BF3 with Steam auto-updates and DLC and forces the consumer to choose Origin, that is anti-competitive, the consumer has no choice and MUST use Origin.
It was DLC, due to them (EA) wanting to disallow Steam from selling DLC, and EA also wanted to disable Steam's auto update ability and do it through them as well. One of the BIG reasons people go to Steam is to unify everything and have a system that works very very well, and reliable.
Unfortunately, EA wants to sell the razor blade starter kit on Steam (BF3) but then wants to force the consumer to by extra blades (DLC) only from them (Origin). It is pretty unfair, and I ...
People can still say "screw EA" even if they have high sales. It doesn't mean their practices are any more acceptable.
To be fair, Brink had no destructible environment like this, not even close.
He says no one knows what BFE means? The game is a prequel to Serious Sam The first Encounter. BFE=Before First Encounter, at least that is what I thought.
Framerate dips do cause controls to lag. Also, when people are shelling out money for a game they already own and love, there better be some legitimate improvements.
The difference is Valve/Steam doesn't block a specific competitor from having its game so they can further their own service.
That is the difference.
The problem is even if a game uses steam works and needs to be activated from steam, YOU CAN STILL BUY IT AT OTHER PLACES.
Instead, EA is being so restrictive and saying their game can ONLY going on steam IF they bypass steams auto patching system and NOT ALLOW steam/valve to sell DLC, so you can't even get BF3 on steam now. Buying BF3 on steam and then activating through origin, that would be fine, but we CAN'T even do that.
The problem here people i...
But the article is more than just a texture pack!!!
Does anyone read articles on N4G anymore???? Just titles and comments????
Sigh....
@gravemaker
I think the point is the article is both the Wulfen’s textures pack and the Sikkpin’s Graphical mod.
Id Tech 5 is being used on Rage...How can another developer get a game out on Id Tech 5 if Id still hasn't, lol. Has Id Tech 5 even been available to other devs for more than a year yet, if at all?
Yes, because something that is disappointing or not a good enough or means little to you means you shouldn't be allowed to comment on it. People's logic on here is just terrible.
Mechanic: "Hey, I fixed your car"
Customer: "What do you mean? I already I have a new car, the fact you are fixing that POS means nothing now"
Mechanic: "Yet you respond to me saying this, must mean you care! BUHAHAHAH"

Prey 2 uses Doom 3's engine (Idtech 4). That should give an idea of what can be done.
Counter strike takes serious skill. You can't aim down sight besides scoped weapons. Almost no guns shoot exactly where you aim, there is always spread and the spread get worse and worse VERY fast, and so does recoil, intensely. Just this alone is a huge difference, as well as no aim assist at all. They might introduce ADS and probably aim assist but guess we have to find out.
Here is what the M4 does in CS 1.6. Notice how they are only 15 feet from the wall.
It more than just lighting tweaks. The mod actually implements HDR, radiosity/sky lighting, SSAO, excellent real time lens effects, special DOF, heavily modified reflections and motion blur. Those are the big tings that gives the game it's real look.
Yea, I hate when there are so many options it makes each option so pointless it seems useless.
What I wonder is this whole Squad spec thing. Is that the upgraded version that also helps anyone in your squad with that? Maybe they don't stack, so you could coordinate with your squad for each of you to use a spec (squad sprint, squad suppression, squad marksmen, squad flak vests) and then everyone on the squad gets those 4 abilities or something. That would seriously give a ...
