3d Textures? That sounds interesting, except for the fact that you have to store the data somehow.. But then again, this sounds familiar.. think I saw something once about some tech demo using hackery to do a lot of what you described. It's far too late to recall any of it though. Still, the...

It's kind of worse, from what I've gathered, as you noted in part. Sure you can throw a dozen cores at a program (if you have say a handful of processors, it can happen), but unless the program is coded to be sufficiently parallel as to take those into account, what you have is a lot of...

You know what it sounds like? "Damn, you know that Multi Theft Auto? Let's do it for the guys who missed out! The console gamers!" And then went "PCwhat? Oh, they have MTA already, they don't want OUR help, they made the mod themselves. Obviously they don't care about us. *Sniff*" Because, you...

Ok, that was impressive. Shame it doesn't do continual fire like the SR4 looks like, but it's still a fairly impressive bit of scripting. And the peds dancing along with the cars is great. Makes me want SR4 all the more!

Huh. I was looking at that and figured it'd come to a bit over 1mil, but then again I thought the flight was going for 300-400k, without checking. However, reading the Forbes review.. that's actually not to bad. Prices will vary and they DID note they can change or remove parts of the package at...

It's all down to Politics and people. Yes, Politics with a capital P, that's the stuff you see in government (in any sort of question period debate, you know the sort). It has nothing to do with the people, and everything to do with yourself and prestige. It's all about "Protecting the Children...

I've managed to avoid a number of spoilers (except one about a certain character returning, ah well) so I won't watch this. My guess about capes though is it could well be a modelling/physics thing. Capes are harder to do, I'd assume (not being a modeller) but the bigger problem is having them...

Yeah, it looks nice, but of course it's nowhere near as nice as the trailer mockups. It's kinda too bad, it's saying "Ok, we KNOW it looks like it's 5 years out of date, but we're hoping you won't notice once these trailers that have no relation to the real graphics suck you in and get a...

Hm. Well, I'm glad they didn't try to keep escalating, personally. What's left? Ruling the entire galaxy after taking it over? Suddenly Planet Saints becomes Universe Saints? Then how does it play? I mean, it's going to be a little bit of a stretch where the interstellar alien empire is taken...

That's a good point that the rendering engine is the big thing for PR purposes. I mean, if you said "Wow, we changed the underlying game engine and tightened up performance, our AI is a hell of a lot better now, and you wouldn't believe how easy it is to make content all across the board now!"...

On the one hand, those graphics look SWEET. On the other hand, this game is going to be on the PS3 and 360. That means that the chance of that being real in-game footage and NOT prerendered press mockups is about as slim as them suddenly embracing modding for the game once more. :rolleyes:

Yeah, you're right. Well, ok, it COULD be for a DS screen assuming we're pasting at the middle across the split. It's tough to tell by eye though.. but I'd wager that might be the phone game considering how it's all sprites, and the DS *can* do 3d rendering after all (though supposedly only on...

Well, it IS a new rendering engine. I guess the problem is "Game engine" can mean a lot of things. Remember when Bethesda finally dropped the Gamebryo rendering engine for Skyrim and everyone said "Wow, it's a whole new engine finally!" without realizing that anything that wasn't rendering...

So the DS game wasn't going to be top-down? It looks a lot like GTA I admit (the original) but with sprites instead of polys for buildings and sprites for cars/peds. Wonder how much was done of it, and how close to release it was.

Apparently you can sell the things. I have no clue how you'd buy them (I have no wish to but I guess selling them implies others buy them) for a minor percentage fee to Steam. Gives you Steam credit to use for whatever. So, now, they made a way to get money back from my games... is the whole...

But lots of collateral damage. Depending how many bounces it gives, I can imagine it riccocheting just wrong (or just right depending on your perspective) and taking out a dozen random pedestrians, a few cops, and a car or two. All in the completely opposite direction than you fired. And it...

I admit, the GoVS isn't a bad one, it does sound like it is the government which you are president of, but sorry. My vote is still with GoDS, because let's face it, you have super powers, you're the president, and you have GIANT ROBOT MECHA. At this point the only thing left is to do a takedown...
