Disney has done nothing but improve the quality of stuff they bought so far, hence why they have loads of money, hence why they can buy stuff. Maybe if Lucas Studios did the same thing...I mean lets face, chiming in on the pockets of your fans will only get your so far, newer generations aren't exactly going to love SW if…
The current gen was nearly a fail for MS and Sony. They lost billions of dollars for the first few years. Nintendo ate their lunch. The traditional retail market has been in decline for the past few years, the only growth is in connected products…
From our headquarters based in Gorinchem, we create 3D environments which we place in the public space as well as mobile and online on an international level. Are you looking for challenging projects in a fast-growing company with a broad experience? Do you want to be part of an enthusiastic team? We are looking for…
Hello Polycount, I've been a 2D game enthusiast for over 30 years now and I've only recently got into 3D. I've attended school for game programming but 3D modeling wasn't offered in my major for some reason. Anyway, I've always been interested in mocap so I decided to see if I could do it for myself and decided on Brekel…
Hi all, I had the pleasure to work on the really cool fighting game for Kinect "Power-Up Heroes". We had to create Super Hero characters that would fit with the Microsoft Avatar constraints and still look really cool. It was a great experience and gave me a chance to be really creative. I was given the approval to show…
pior, yea "photo-mode" I love that kind of stuff, I'm such a tourist with about every game I play, ha. My tourist tendencies often run counter to the goals of the game, but I think there might be some limited uses during gameplay? The problem is finding out where the player is looking and focusing on that. Maybe they could…

I don't really get all the fuss. Sure the sneaky upgrade reminder was annoying for people who were not ready to upgrade, but 10 is already a better OS than 8.1 and regular updates are bringing substantial and useful changes. The same version of the OS for everybody would mean better support, better updates, better…
It's much cheaper when you take into consideration that you don't have to pay benefits to those employees. On Star Wars: Kinect (my most recent exp with outsourcing), almost all the vehicles were outsourced to India and came back at excellent quality. When looking at how much they cost, it was easly 1/4th than what most…
No more than I'd equate PC and console games. Yes, graphics hardware matters, but not nearly on the level that it does on the 360 or the PS3. The Wii is the most anemic of the consoles, yet it managed to draw a significant crowd through innovative play. Not only that, but how long has it been since the big consoles…
