Re: Nintendo to focus on 'health' amid weak console sales
Personally I'd rather have a WiiU over a "next-gen" console. People often bash Nintendo for no longer having "creative" ideas, but the most played games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 were Call of Duty games and Fifa games, and that alone speaks for itself. It's pretty fair to assume the same thing will happen to the XB1 and PS4… -
Re: Portfolio Critique Please - Di$array
Your stuff is solid but I'm guessing you run into similar problems as I do. I'm not sure what sort of jobs you are applying for but I found that studios would not even consider me if they were working on next gen games because my art was not good enough. Stylized studios wouldn't consider me because I don't have enough… -
Re: [Portfolio] Daniel M, Prop Artist
next gen gaming, yes. But still in next gen gaming we cant go "crazy" with textures. In Reach, there were a few assets that got crunched down to a 256 or 128 texture that were half the size of the player. Its really tough, but the assets themselves decide the final texture size. Are they hero objects? or ambient filler?… -
Re: Environment Model specifics for WoW??
If you have wow installed you can use WoW model viewer to look at all of the art assets in the game. You're able to view them with or without the textures, as well as just the wireframe. You're correct in your assumptions on textures. They need to all be hand painted, no normal or bump maps. I can't remember if you can… -
Re: Californininia Moving questions
http://www.gamedevmap.com I would figure out what areas you are most interested in, and then move somewhere 20-30 miles away (where you can most likely actually afford to live) and then focus on trying to get into those studios. Personally I think that June is plenty of time for you to allocate yourself time to build a… -
Re: Too many console versions
Erm, the only console this gen thats fucked up is Sony. They have all these consoles with various things missing, and they ARE needed in some ways. Some games MUST have an install, which means that your HDD size matters. Having a low HDD is gonna really limit you. The 360 didn't fuck up, they simply made the best choice.… -
Re: The Self Learner's Checklist (work in progress)
I'm also a self learner. I think the biggest tip from my own experience so far is to really narrow down what you want to do in the end, and then learn and do those things and try not to go off on tangents. And boy I tell ya, there are alot of things that can steer you off course. I spent a good 2-3 months messing around… -
Re: Game studios closing
Vassago's got it. A last gen game cost $4 million, a "next-gen" game costs $40 million. Guess what? People are not buying ten times as many games. A lot of publishers and studios bet their asses that we would cover the costs and and we (as an industry) have not. BUT! There is good news. Wii is a massive hit. MMO's are… -
