ok i couldn't resist making another one. i pm'd hawken twice to ask if it is ok to enter with more than one entry but apparently i can't send pm's (it says that i have sent zero messages). it's a scrab from the oddworld series this one was really easy.. i had lots of tris to waste. when i had the basic shape blocked in i…
[ QUOTE ] If you made a game using just diffuse maps and vertex-lighting on 360/PS3/Wii, does that immediately make it next-gen?

thanks for your comments and clearifications , so next time when i need to choose a "next-gen" game to model from (yeah, i'm thinkin about either doing one more, or improving my kratos model, kindof my way for revenge ) i just have to select a game that is published on the ps3, xbox360 or wii?

I was under the impression that next-gen just meant using normal maps and stuff. Who defines next-gen anyhow? PC could run "next-gen" things before any of the consoles you're calling "next-gen" were out, Slum...
Technically every game released on the xbox was not next gen. That was LAST gen. so that means doom3/munch/abe/halflife2 are all disqualified. "next gen" was coined to describe the generation of consoles AFTER the current generation, during the generation of the xbox/ps2. At this point, the rules for the comp are pretty…
So why is Stranger more "Next Gen" than Munch? Sure it looks a whole lot nicer, but technically speaking its at the same level. Theres no normal mapping, if thats your definition. Tis nice work, Japhir.
