I can't remember being this shocked about a studio closing. It just doesn't make sense. I can understand that MS may be pissed because the market for a 360 RTS is small, and that's what they've been pushing on Ensemble. But, c'mon! The "Age of" games have sold a bazillion copies. Even with the traditional PC market…
Doc rob has it pretty close to what video game bloom does, the other suggestiongs are home brew style bloom that won't simulate what the 360 and ps3 does if that was the goal. Duplicate layer guassien blur set to linear dodge create adjustment layer of curves and hold down alt and click between the layers to link curves to…
That James Hawking video is good, but it's mostly just watching him FFD tessellated cubes into an awesome monster. You might want to check out Zack Petroc's anatomy videos, they're pretty good: http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/361/Digital-Sculpting:-The-Human-Anatomy Then move on to something like this The…
I'm not sure how necessary this is for the PS3. I've been using my PS3 for years and I've never really felt that the feature set was lacking. (as I did with my Wii, XBox 360, and PSP) The PS3 is already pretty permissive about getting media on it and playing it however you please. (built-in support for Xvid, mp3, etc...) I…
Hey Guys, Here's my last personal work for the year, or at least the WIP. I was inspired to sculpt a Werewolf after playing some Castlevania - Lords of Shadow. I really liked how they handled their Werewolf in game models and decided to make one of my own. Thankfully I had some free time to myself to get this far. I plan…
Working in Atari tech support we had to set up exchanges for Thousands of ps2 games. I would be on the phone for hours sometimes several calls over weeks, trying to get people to understand its not the disc. People wouldn't accept the fact that thier ps2 was junk and needed to be fixed. "But all my other games only lock up…
I won't buy it until PS4 is announced lol Seriously, I still don't see a solid set of games which make it worth buying the PS3. Tekken 6 is coming to XBox 360 too, if God of War 3 gets accompanied by some other cool games I'll consider it(yes, SONY that's right :P)
Mario Kart was the reason I bought a DS. Sadly, it had to come out a year later than expected. I've got 4 games for the system, and I'd love to nab this (and Metroid). But coming out with 1-2 games a year (that I like) is a little too sparse for me. I'll probably trade the system in for 360 credit.
Thanks for the comments guys. I agree with everything you've all said. I'm just getting started and with that, am just reviewing some games that I already own. I'm working on Star Ocean for the 360 now, so that's a little newer. I have posts on lots of forums and most people seem to agree that I discussed the story too…
