I just want bungie updates on the games progress, like they did for halo 3, halo 3 still looks great imo.

it's a 4 month old build, of a game that's 70% complete.
but the inclusion of dynamic wet surfaces sound cool.
it's like lod for an open world game, instead of calculating every single object with high res textures, player groups send data depending on their focus to the original.
ie, your target or someone targeting you will provide constant feedback and updates, player x half way across the map behind 500 walls and spawning sends you updates once every 15 frames the rest being filtered by an AI.
This technology being applied to an mmo can provide upto 900 players taking par...
considering that AI actually eats up cpu, and bandwith/networking, where as real players you just have to deal with bandwith/networking.
they have quake 3 running this.
"Although this paper discussed the use of interest sets and
doppelg¨angers in the context of p2p games, these techniques
should also be useful in client/server games. The bandwidth
a server requires also scales quadratically with the number
of players in an AOI, so our techniques can reduce the cost
of running such a game by reducing this requirement."
even p2p services like live can take advantage of this, and live is mentioned severa...

August 2008:
"We present user study results using a prototype implementation based on Quake III that show our approach provides a desirable user experience. We also present simulation results that demonstrate Donnybrook’s efficacy in enabling battles of up to 900 players."
more papers if people are interested.
I've been on the waiting for approval for ever, and their website needs higher bandwith too.
But yeah, i find the gaf forum a better source for info then the reach forum, which consists of kiddo's shouting out 'new' ideas.
*pod cast for next week too... hopefully.
lots have been done since then apparently.
Before humans getting their first spectre, and playing as a rouge human having them do some underground super secretive stuff.
A mass effect version of splinter cell if you will.
reports show the 5970 being on par or faster then the gf100, at a potentially lower price point. Nvidia is playing catch up, what they showed were very, very specific scenes, giving us no information on practical processing power in a game enviroment.
Take for example their tessellation demo, even the show guy was questioning the fps.
"Hopefully, all these peoples that left Square Enix goes to Sony to work on another great PS3 exclusive: The Legend of Dragoon 2."

Personally I think they should change the name, it sounds really lame, can't wait to play it this year... Oh wait, it hasn't been announced? And we have no information at all about it?
I love how a game that hasn't been announced and has no information is the most anticipated wii game.
implement some ssao or at least pre-baked ao, the shadows of static objects look pretty disappointing.
Character models are the best I've ever seen (bar crysis), looks as if they're being tessellated, either that or those helmets are really high poly (very round).
Also very glad that it still looks like halo, it just wouldn't be the same if it looked like a ut3 game (like gow 3).
8 months left, and I doubt it's the latest build, still lots of work to be ...
but for your vid. You know, vidicles.
I remember when gears 2 was released even god of war creator david jaffe thought it was the best looking game of the year, even better then the original uncharted.
I've yet to truly look at a ps3 game and say, 'wow, this is only capable on my ps3'.
Same is to be said about my 360 collection.
I still think that Mirror's Edge is the most visually impressive game released this generation. (on consoles)
