Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
You're right, perhaps Trine 2 wasn't a good example. My point was that when new technique is introduced artists try out methods without exactly knowing how the results will look together with other cool techniques. I brought up Trine 2 as an example because it's a good looking game. Perhaps the princess and the frog would… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
I think you misunderstood me, Suprore, mainly because I don't think I was being clear on what I meant. I didn't pick Disney feature films as a bad example, they're great for their time. There is a technical inferiority however if you compare it to today's games, not only because of our time's machine capability. Compare… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
Awesome example of excellent design PIOR! I wish I had a ps3. ( nice of square to release on ps3 ) However, knowing that amaaaazing advancement is coming either way... I am mighty glad to have bet on the level of fidelity heading our way. Either way u look at it. It's win win. ( With us nuts craving that level of shadow… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
I was under the impression that current-gen was called next gen. For example many "next gen" environments are in current-gen games. -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
i've been waiting for games to have anti-aliasing since the n64 and i'll keep waiting until we get there. narrowing scope because of artistic vision and because of technical limitations are completely different. It's totally cool to have upscaled sprite art in a commercial game if you want (for example MBAACC) but it sucks… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
But disney movies are a great example of how fantastic artistic genius and skill dominated the less significant technical achivements. Art direction defeats all! An open ended game can't necessarily have low level visual fidelity like a linear game does, and that is something you can design around. Where GTA4 used physics,… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
Right, which is why I wouldn't want it (currently) used instead of English. But like in that Goblins example, it's still within your suspension of disbelief that you're in a Goblin world. So you just assume they speak Goblin. Worked for me when I was a kid even with that very limited vocabulary. But then looking at modern… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
I rather think that instead of buffing and improving the graphic and make people upgrade graphic cards all the time, that they should work more on AI, so the worlds can be proper dynamic and not just about a box falling the right way. Good example is Skyrim and Deus Ex, with buckets on heads and people not noticing that… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
As with most things, you're looking at the end result and thinking it's a 2 year project at best when in reality you're missing all of the iteration and thrashing that goes on. It's like when I was making Quake levels back in the day ... I can look at some of those levels now and think, "I could do that over a weekend!".… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
I dont think so. Also tesselation is not THAT big of a deal, requires very little to no change of the pipeline we currently have. Look at nDo2 for example, create normal, AO, cavity, heightmap in one go, slap it on in UDK and you got yourself tesselation. Making masks for tesselation is not that hard either actually, so…
