Re: Accessibility in games
Just finished the video that ZacD posted. While I agree that this is an issue, the points made by the devs seem reasonable and it might be possible that we could see issues like floating hands/etc. with increased FOV. The fact that the hack makes everything squished (even though you can see a bit more) kind of discredits… -
Re: OA3 progress thread
Texture switching is not very kind to OpenGLES apparently. Legacy PC hardware (i.e. the P3/Voodoo3 combo) can handle it a lot better than the Pi. There's also the Linux/BSD variable driver suckage (and some mesa3d rasterizer players even), and there's also the >333fps desiring competitive player base to worry about. This… -
Re: London Eurogamer Expo, 22nd-25th
You can read my thoughts here: http://blog.habboi.co.uk/2011/09/eurogamer-expo-2011.html Yeah it was fun. Got there early before Skyrim had any lines and enjoyed the heck out of that. Tried out the 3D stuff and was disappointed with 3DS but PS3 3D was pretty good albeit a little blurry. Indie section was cool. My favourite… -
Re: How do you design your level?
I go to websites like, HP's portfolio website to get inspired about the environment arts, I see it thoroughly how the environment art is done and so on. Than I make my own assumptions about how should I go about doing things when I am creating stuff, and so far I have succeeded with less to no issues. There are few more… -
Re: [Portfolio] Matt Link, Character Artist
Good stuff man, but I think you should move the top two sections to the bottom. They aren't as strong as your creatures. I'd reorder the Characters in the Doom rails section by quality as well. Start with the redhead kid, he's the most polished looking. I'd actually consider removing the rest, but reworking them to better… -
Re: R.I.P - Paul Steed
I just heard about it. Almost a year after his death :( No word can express my sadness. He was truely inspirational, I remember him back in the early Polycount/Quake world days and I saved every one of his articles on Loony Games and also Gamasutra magazines. Also spent countless hours dissecting his Quake 2 and Quake 3… -

Re: Inception mindfuck discussion *SPOILERS*
The ending was not a dream. Evidence: -the top. Wobbled and looked like it was about to falter. In the dream world, it spins constantly. -the kids. You don't hear the girl speak, and you don't know how long he's been gone. Also the boy looks the same age as he would be on the phone. Casting different actors for the voices… -
Re: Quake4 first impressions
My Observations: Bummed that the Strogg dissipate when they die ala the doom demons. Seems like Raven didn't even TRY to come up with a different way to fade them out. I HATE the machinegun sound, especially in multiplayer when EVERYONE is using it at the same time...makes me wince. Levels look amazing, seemingly higher… -
Re: Proposed law, new warning label for games
I don't think a ban on guns will help us here. Yeah, it probably works, I'm sure you can point to countries that have had huge success after banning weapons, but there are negative aspects to it, and after George W you'd think people in this country could figure out what that is. I'd be all for more strick means of…
