Re: cheap ambient occlusion
*sigh* Nothing you do with a normal map will give you an AO map. A normal map records the surface slope, flat recessed areas that would have dark occlusion shadows would be perfectly white on a normal map.

Re: RAGE
We just took a look at it at the office. The art is gooorgeous. Lots of texture popping, though. The thing that seemed to be most lacking was gameplay. It was boring to go from point A to B to A to B to A to B to A to B. On top of that, the character would launch into the sky and scream like a crazy clown if you slightly…
