..thats a common misconception often touted by those in denial.
Of course attach rate is affected by how long the machine has been available. If you've had you machine for only 1 month you may well have only 1 or 2 games for it. If you've had it for 5 years you've probably had at least 20 and probably more. Stop me if it gets too complicated.
The only figure that matters is the monthly attach rate i.e. what percentage of a machines owners went and bought a game in th...
Thats not true at all mate. Look at the image it produced. If you do 3d texture mapping at all, you'll know that its just not a good enough unwrap to be a substitute for a proper unwrapped 3D texture.There are loads of contours that are not unwrapped at all and the results are skewed and would be very difficult to effectively map to a 3d model.
Its coolness and relevance is ONLY applicable to editing the footage from where it was derived.
Just to explain one on the many problems...
Nice - thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that and its very intersting.
Thanks for a reasoned conversation too - something becoming increasingly rare on the net these days. Bubbles for Mr Bubbles! :)
Cool - thanks for digging out the figures dude!
Does 108K really make this the fastest selling 360 game? I thought that honor went to Ace combat 6 which saw huge queues and sales!
But I don't have the figures available!
Whatever - its a nice shot in the arm for the machine in the territory and we can only hope its not just a temporary blip - though I do suspect it is.
Well written mate, and while I DO agree that games creators draw their inspiration from all places, thats a tenuous link at best, and means I could post a story on some great modern architecture - as it would be inspiration for many environmnet artists and digital set designers everywhere.
The fact is, I do actually find this interesting, as it relates to my area of work, but its relation to games is negligable, despite the misinformed posts of those who obviously don't even un...
What are you talking about mate? You can do what you are saying in ANY of the 2d post effects apps available - 'shake' being an industry fave or After effects on PC or Nuke or many other post processing packages that already do that job.
I've never claimed to be a concept artist - ever. I'm a games artist and animator, and have been for over 15 years, and do just about everything EXCEPT for concept art work, but specialise in animation. I had occasion to do a big and sucessful add camp...
What? If you want it on your PC, then buy a cheaper PC equivilant?
You were mad to consider this at all if yuou actually wanted the media oin your PC - theres lots of better options for this.
I'm willing to bet you never were...
Yes - he has a hell of lot more of an idea than half the people on this site.
Having made the mistake of picking an argument with him over the wrong thing ( i miss-interpretted what he was arguing), I had occasion to read his posts very carefully, and discovered he talks a lot of sense and displays a pretty real understanding of the issues involved with game content creation.
His points in this thread are well reasoned and argued effectively.
@Voiceofreason - no o...
Very true.... and makes my point completely redundant!
Great looking screens - but how is it news? Anyone who's interested in the game can simply play the demo and see it properly. No need to look at screens.
Lol at the disagrees from gamer fanboys with absolutely no knowledge of the post industry or process at all!
The disagrees are because I didnt' bow and go - "wow I've not seen that before?" People on this site really are pathetic...I wander why I bother to try and have a rational conversation on here at all...
I can't imagine that this is of much interest to that many people as its got absolutely nothing to do with games at all.
For a guy who occasionally does film and advert post processing, like me, its pretty interesting though.
In terms of its 'inventiveness', mosaics are fundamentally well understood, whats new here is successfully 'unwrapping them - though its notable that this only worked is certain circumstances. Its still a nice development of an existing tool...
"Maybe they should revolutionize their definition of 'Release Date' "
Care to show me a release date?
Its never had one - and still doesn't.
"Damn the 360 is hot right now. "
Yeah, I get that too.
I'd turn it off for a bit and let it cool down.
:)
Cheers for that - its certainly a good sign, Though of course, given the new sku, we could be seeing a combination of factors as stocks run low of the old sku in anticipation of the new, as well as increased demand!
Incidentally mate, all links to amazon sales list etc are not valid stories - I'd have reported it as well, and I can assure you I'm not SDF (though some have accused me of allegiance to both camps in the past). Your obsession with 'the SDF' is bit worrying! You do...
Well you have a point there! I certainly cared when I died!
Thanks for the update on figures guys - my memory is obviously not good!
24K is a pretty good spike - though its still not AC6 territorry!
It would be good to see slaes stay up for the machine, as its healthy to have three serious competitors in all the markets, but I think its unlikley this is anything more than a quick blip.
You can't blame those 'fans' who jump on this news for doing so.
At E3 there was only one company so full of its own cr*p as to confidently declare it 'would sell more machines than the PS this year', and even put the statement up on the big screen just to make sure we didn't miss it.
Given that its already behind for this year, having this kind of result in its home territory gives lie to the statement, and shows it was simply hot air.
I've no pro...
