I like that speculation that it is promotion related. We'll pump your game full of ads for this new pack, for free! but you have to pay us to get rid of the ads. You didn't need that 239 megs anyway.
I can't wait for this game. Hopefully it is better than Motorcity
I'm still waiting for Rockstar to announce that the next GTA will be made such that other developers can release DLC for it. It can be a much bigger game world than before as a framework for other studios making missions and a few or several districts the size of GTAIV LC inside of it. Imagine you had to fly between cities or take a train. That you had to hunt people down between cities because they weren't so stupid as to stay in the same town all the time. The return of real infrastructure,...
PS3 people will pay for it. And they'd be happy for a proper online shooter.
That's it. MS would be in a better position by taking control of Valve to keep them off Apple's machines and away from Sony's platforms.
Valve isn't orthodox enough though to fit in well with the MGS crowd. It wouldn't work out. Not unless Gabe himself was hired as chief of Xbox, Xbox Live and Windows Games at MGS. Someone who actually understands games and distribution and that gamers are people not just static metrics.
Funny heearing an Epic exec saying that money could be tight in relation to an Xbox exclusive. Otherwise they can't possibly be cash strapped from all the PC games Epic releases.
Their engine technology powers everything on many platforms.. unless they manage to mess up licensing they'll be fine, on their own without Microsoft messing with their core business.
What's the appeal for Microsoft anyway? few of their in house games if any use Unreal Engine.. are the...
even less if they'd redesign the thing
watch the videos.
Nvidia and AMD/ATI want to keep selling more polygons per second. That's the propaganda. Thankfully their cards have more ram and math power so the processing power can be applied to other things (physics/AI/animation).
After that is that Unreal Engine is kinda good at pushing many textured polygons that are really nicely shaded. You'd have to ask Epic Games to license or clone this technique. But they'd probably not drop textures and polygons u...
Most 3D models for games and movies are made VERY detailed and dumbed down like crazy before a final mesh is made for a game.
Some studios already employ model makers who sculpt models and scan them in, then dumb then down to create polygon meshes.
still find it foolish that Natal hasn't been presented as a wireless device.
Turst me, they did awesome by rendering curves. You might be to young to understand that curves are some of the most impossible geometries to put into a game.
Making straight lines in their technique would be a joke. All the advanced per pixel shader stuff you find in professional games should be very easy to implement. Beyond that they can accomplish all kinds of awesome stuff like particle effects given the whole system is based on particles. Particle effects include real vo...
NOOOO
your argument is better worded as and explained clearly by the videos on their website as the only data you need is the ones used to draw pixels on the screen. The rest is ignored, not rendered to the screen so has little cost. You don't care about unlimited detail of a scene even in modern games, the stuff you can't see is ignored.. that's what the zbuffer is for. Most of the sides of objects rendered in 3D can't be displayed to the player's 2D monitor. from your perspec...
but it's an EBR!!!! carmageddon fan going nuts
Congratulations to Bioware for this awesome DLC item.
I'm concerned though about the physics.. You can ionize one enemy.. fine.. what exactly do they mean by autotargeting another nearby target? That's silly. The ionized path from you to the first target is explained (and proven in real life by HSV) by the laser ionizing the air between you and that target making it possible to span that gap of insulating air with a...
Maybe if the device was 3G equipped.. but even then it would be hard to justify the data plan for mobile media streaming for such low res content, music I can understand, TV shows maybe.. but HD shows and movies wouldn't be possible. It might be cheaper than an iPhone.. but do people watch movies on their iPhones? (rhetorical because I don't want to know)
On a future nintendo handheld that had a good enough screen (or two) maybe, but not DS.
Why is it then that PC where buying a stand alone bd drive is cheap, and stock computers are being sold with them included.. aren't being released on bluray?
Isn't it the year where PC gaming should make the switch to bluray? or at least include bluray boxes on the shelves next to the multi-disc dvd releases? I would have figured both DA:O and Mass Effect 2 would have gone blue except that Mass Effect 2 is tethered to Xbox.
In either case, 1 being bigger harddrives (which cost MUCH more than they do for retail drives, and aren't a benefit to performance but a cop-out for restrictive dvds)and 2, faster download speeds for internet connections (which not everyone has access to unlimited fast internet access) and 3 bluray which Microsoft continues to ignore..
Whatever the reason behind ignoring bluray, 360 is limited in many other places. It doesn't do 7.1 audio, has no focus on 3D which for bluray ...
yeah was kinda thinking the same when scanning for a date, but didn't see one
"This follows earlier reports that some players couldn't access Assassin's Creed II over the weekend due to the game's DRM, which is what prevents hackers from cracking the game."
Priceless. Meanwhile, why keep egging them on anyway? How's that effective marketing of the brand? load, point at foot, pull.
