Re: "Why the end of the $60 video game is near"
That threshold is only going to get older. There are anomalies at this stage in that computer gaming has only been around realistically for 30 years which means you have whole generations far beyond 30 that simply were not brought up on any concept of gaming before they found careers and hobbies of their own. Then social… -
Re: A Few Questions Concerning the Blizzard Internships
I didn't see the publishing assistant position, oh well, I'm more interested in the creative side of things. My resume was two pages, nothing that I think would blow them out of the water, just a little in the way of related work experience and a little that doesn't relate in any way (retail). I did submit one story, about… -
Re: Need advice: How to get unstuck in 3D modeling
I recently picked up electronic music making as a hobby, and I've experienced some of what you've outlined. The thing that gets me out of a creative rut is thinking about genres and styles I really like, or I'm captivated by, and doing my own version of them. What are your favorite games? What assets do you like most in… -
Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
DRM is still stupid, instead of trying to deny pirates the focus should be on promoting sales. DLC, achievements, other incentives to play the game that pirates don't get to benefit from. Or alternatively fight poison with poison. Introduce a risk to being a pirate, because right now, there really isn't. People can safely… -
Re: The Ego in Games
Verm -- dude, you can't be giving me a fair listen and saying stuff like that. give me a break man. This has nothing to do with me just not liking some game. you people are free to make what ever games you want and enjoy what ever games you want. i'm just trying to start a discussion about making games that playcate to… -
Re: graphics in games really don't impress me anymore.
Games were not impressing me visually for a few years I have to admit. Now that I've moved on to hi poly after close to a decade of working with 2d I'm found that games using this medium impress me to the kind of degree that 2d originally did when it was fresh to me. Sal's words about marveling at things like effects and… -
Re: Quake 3 turns 10 years old - has technology advanced as you once thought it might?
I completely agree with this and would add that with graphics, look at polycounts for models in game, how have they changed over 10years, texture resolution and etc there have been huge leaps and bounds, I think consoles will make improvement in graphics quality staggered and stuck to hardware specs, PC games are a… -
Re: E3 has caused me a major problem...
In terms of pure innovation, alright. However, in comparrison to other entertainment industries the game industry is incredibly innovative. Also, fully new game concepts are not needed to be innovative. Innovation can take place in a small mechanic that changes gameplay, a huge new feature, an all new genre, the story or… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 1.10 Official support thread
Have you tried flipping the normals? Only time I've encountered this is when I've got the normals facing the wrong way. And now, for a problem of my own. Wanted to try out displacement mapping to get a little more familiar with 'Next-geny" techniques. Working on this duder, and here's how it is with displacement turned… -
Re: Yiynova MSP19U: watch out Cintiq its comming for you
I do agree with Dataday on some points. It definitely feels like a cheaply fabricated product. The fact that their website lacks consistency in graphics/looks/feels, makes me feel like they are a very amateur group of people which one wouldn't get much support from. I obviously do not know the quality of the actual…
