The 360's hard drive hangups are asinine. There's no questioning it. However, I think there are going to be a lot of consumers who will be willing to purchase and play a 360 without a hard drive if the price is as low as $200. The PS2's hard drive and on-line play support were both for crap, but that didn't stop it from…
So? This is true for any and every form of media. When everyone can afford paper and pencils, then everyone can write. And you end up with plenty of crap books for every classic novel. When musical instruments become affordable, you get a lot of crap garage bands. When video cameras dropped in price, you ended up with a…
Hi Slash, sorry about the naked warning, it wasnt to get you in, it was to stop your boss being offended if you have one. Thanks for the reply and the direction. My characters have pretty strong features and they could sure use refining. To tell the truth this model is driving me nuts and I am trying hard to finish it. To…
if you want a hero, big explosions and countdowns to oblivion go watch Independence Day. (it even has the aliens catching 'a virus' and dying in the most ridiculous psuedo-scientific piece of hackneyed writting ever.) War of the Worlds is from a time when people actually thought and books weren't written to be turned into…
You can look at it that way if you like. I look at it like this: Sony has tried to push three different formats already, and all of them have failed. - Beta - Mini Disk - UMD Should I REALLY wait to watch another Sony format fail? HDDVD is attractive because it's cheaper to make and therefore buy. And it's far superior to…
Thanks for getting back to me guys. I've not had a chance to look at fallout yet but I know the kind of thing your talking about and I'll look into it. I would guess MGS4 and gears can get away with it a bit more being 3rd person. I think I will let it slide in less obvious areas the player cant get up close to but neaten…
haha, I wouldn't have bothered posting if you pissed me off :P The reason I posted at all is because I see you falling into the same traps I have been falling into. Throwing polys at a model where you should be trying to take more out. Still, its not a bad model but it certainly isn't good enough to attract potential…
*Whine whine* "Oh game development cost more.. This is the logical solution. But then we will outsource as well for the cheapest development also. Nevermind questioning the need to do both." Two sides my ass, its about making bigger stock worth. Period. Boycotting does work as history has shown. If I didn't know better,…
Thank you guys for all your comments. For sure they did help a ton! @Neox yeah it's not until you mentioned it that I realized, I was more focus on startup studios, which fit perfectly as you said. They preferred individuals, with cheaper price and probably didn't need a lot of work that needed to be done. This is probably…
My plan was simple: 1st make an impressive picture 2nd receive a job offer from a big company located in Santa Monica ;) My self-portrait is part of this picture. Since this is obviously a non-commercial project, I decided to try out the different approaches and programs. Therefore, the process will be somewhat chaotic and…
