Not trying to be a troll here. But that isn't at all impressive. The engine is fantastic as we all know but it isn't being used to it's fullest potential here due to poor animations and textures and modeling. I guess it isn't complete yet, but right now it looks bad. As a 3D Artist/Animator myself I feel I'm qualified to say that. What is wrong with it? No motion blur. Stiff character movements. The fire effect is cool but where is the lava coursing through his skin? The U...
Women are constantly reduced to their looks. A good percentage of people will click to read the article just so they can judge if the girl is pretty or not. Even heterosexual females will click to compare themselves to her. Pointing out that she was a blonde peeks the readers interest because now we know something about her looks. By pointing that trait out specifically it is implied that she is attractive. Unfortunately women will probably always have to deal with these kinds of struggles be...
Challenge accepted:
Yeah like how he grabs that "woman" in the crotch because he thinks that perhaps he is a man dressed in drag. So yeah he is a "private investigator"...
Come on at least make it challenging. ;)
Ok, I totally disagree with Pachter. I think he's basing his information less on inside sources and more on profit/revenue generation of the PS3. I'm guessing that he think Sony wants to make back some more money on PS3 before introducing a new console.
But that thinking is flawed simply because PS4 in my mind, will be a MUCH cheaper upgrade than PS3 was to PS2. Sony already invested the 3 Billion + in Cell Technology and it costs them way less money to get more SPU&#...
The technical term is cognitive dissonance. But yeah, I get what you are saying.
If you like "Snow Crash", you'll probably love "Ready Player One" by Earnest Cline. Same concept where everyone works and lives inside a virtual world using VR goggles like these. The book just released in August and already three movie studios were bidding for the rights to turn it into feature film. Don't want to get too far off topic though, I'd totally buy one of these things. VR is totally what I've been waiting for.
At first I was thinking this was stupid when you can just preorder the game and be garunteed a copy of the game; then I realized he's waiting in line to meet Cliff B. who will be at that location handing out free Gears collectors items on a first come first served basis. I received an email invite to this event since I live in NY. So yeah it makes much more sense if you are a huge Gears fan. It's a special promotion Epic is doing at the flagship Best Buy in NYC. Cliffy B. will apparen...
Wow. Love MK, hate that this isn't the MK HD that was rumored. I guess it'd be nice to have configurable controls and online play.
Looking like Avatar? Really what does that even mean? Killzone 3 and Battlefield 3 are already using Global Illumination approximation for lighting.
Real time sub surface scattering is already possible.
I think we'll see a huge leap in dynamics such as water, smoke, clouds and environment destruction. I think we won't ever notice the polygons in a game anymore because curved edges will look curved. Also as others have noted 60FPS without screen tearing would probably ...
I'm sorry, but this is awesome and totally relevant for a site about games.
As an Associate Creative Director in Advertising, I understand what they are shooting for, but the execution could be better. It has a District 9 feel to it. I don't like the color orange. (it's cliche to use Orange and White as classic scifi colors) The whole extra eyes on a skull thing has lost its luster. The image doesn't tell a story. This same image painted across a decaying brick wall would have more impact IMHO. Maybe as a Graffiti artist might paint or a caveman might rec...
HD vid posted here. I'm such an FPS fanboy, lol, so want this game.

Didn't the same thing happen in Killzone 2 where your shadow would show you holding the Assualt Rifle even though you were actually holding a knife? Does anyone else remember seeing that? It seems that they a projecting a different version of your character when seen from other perspectives. I can't remember if that error was just in the demo, or if it made it to the full retail version though. It's probably something easily fixable, but if it doesn't really impact gameplay, i...
Been reading N4G since the very beginning. I own both Consoles. Love them both. When PS3 was first launched, you wouldn't believe the hate on this site. Every other day there were people bashing the PS3. The PS3 was doomed and a joke as far as anyone in this community was concerned. The shift in my mind started in 2007-08. That was when this site which was much more 360-centric started to become more PS3-centric. I love N4G to be honest. It has its flaws no doubt about it, but I mostly al...
I love the Move. I want a way to track my feet as well, or a chest orb to better keep track of
whether I'm ducked or standing. If I could upgrade the camera in a perfect world where it wasn't too expensive, it be cool if the PSEYE followed your position like that shoulder mounted cannon the Predator has. I can dream, right?
I really hope you are right. I don't even want to think about what will happen if this law isn't shot down.
Honestly I'm 32 years old and I never had any interest in Castlevania, but I'm pretty sure this one is going to be awesome. That said, I'm amazed at the level of snobbery we have going on here. Are you more a gamer than me because you played Castlevania? I appreciated this early look at the game and I'm not offended that it feels like God of War which I love.
You mean awesome, not awkward right?
Motion blur is a great way to make something look as though it were viewed from a Film Camera. If you take your hand-held Camera and move it quickly in one direction or the other you'll notice extreme motion blur until the auto-focus kicks in. Motion blur has been incorporated in just about every single movie special effect that you have ever viewed. It's used to help sell realism and as others have noted to create the illusion of a higher frame rate. As for blurred background, that i...
"You can't code a game exclusively for i7's and top GPU's, in the PC market you have to cater to the lowest common denominator so people with an i3 and a GTX 550 can play. Hence, why most games are not optimized, it's just not cost effective."
THIS is 100% correct. I'm sorry to disagree with a majority of you here but PCs have a huge disadvantage in the graphics department due to having to support the lowest common denominator.
