I agree. Diety-like powers do not exsist with no normal, mortal man. No, no, no. The only logical answer is magic. Is...is this all powerful wizard of oz the reason why iphone users get laid more?
Still nice. I mean, smart phone gaming is the wave of the future right?
He put Doom on the Super Nintendo, so... yeah probably!
My guess is just a low-res diffuse-only implementation of streaming megatexture, seems the most logical way to do it.
Looks bloody great though. And the rest of his keynote was good too.
He does mention radiosity, yeah

to brighten the default texture value ? ( either overlay or add blending_)
btw i dont think environment need normal map before it the capability of interacting with shadow and dynamic moving light or specular.
unique texture is good, but see if this can be push even further : texture streaming. like they did in Rage
which is whats hot from ID software engine now
Also his eyes were glowing at parts of the video.
heres the whole keynote.

Carmac actually mentions the download limit of major networks. apparently thats why the app store was so attractive.

That's the 2009 dude, watch out what you link.
I say give him the benefit of the doubt.
heh. fitting background.
I think a lot of RAGEs appeal just went out the window.
The tech creates an advantage for them, and they're going to exploit that for as long as they can. Kudos to them, but not a real big "thing to follow" or anyone else.
Yes please.
The elder scroll games were always fun, but they really never looked good. The characters always look horrible, awkward, and stiff, poor animation, and mediocre environments.
I was hoping for an open engine like they are doing with the udk, cry engine, unity, etc.
Rage actually looks well done, lots of detail everywhere, and the little game play I've seen looks refreshing and new, and its sounds like they are going to mix things up.
Quoted for truth. The old people in Oblivion were creepy as shit, looking like their faces were about to melt off. I wonder if BEthesda will use th tch for their next Fallout (after Vegas) since Rage is pretty much the same type of game.
Then again im not a businessman
Oh and later Fallout 4 on it too, yes please.
What strikes me as awesome about this is perhaps id can spend their time working on tech like carmack seems to love and beth can go make things with it.
That, or the oscuros oblivion overhaul, which fixed the entire game and usually becomes the main thing someone installs after they've installed oblivion
And I the nude mods, anime schoolgirl characters, furry plugins and anything that made the game look like second life.
The nude mods always seemed in such bad taste. They were presented with a load of pictures of naked dead women, pulled about into poses. Kind of like the victims of a sexual psychopath. :poly122:
You've been working with the cryengine 3 too much. Quick use that as an excuse to get some more holiday time.
Here's the keynote, unfortunately only audio. [ame]
Its usually up so fast after the event has finished...im not sure why they would hold onto it for so long
Thanks for the audio link Slum
Audio only, but since god is omnipresent, you don't need to see him.
Btw, had a quick word with matt hooper from id at gamescom!
