But it's useful to consider where to aim for as an ideal. Unlimited Particle shit or whatever that is, they are aiming for the ultimate in detailed graphics (well in theory apart from the glaring deficits in what they've made so far). That's one sole direction, and not really one that needs to be aimed in on it's own. 100,000 times more detailed?? Who is going to notice that shit...
Modern games, the graphics have improved so much in recent years, games in general are so pretty and cool looking, who is looking at these trees thinking "OMG Polygons!!". That's not the shit people are noticing. There's so many areas to aim high for in gaming. I posit to aim for the highest overall gaming experience... I have to admit you are not completly wrong: too much efforts have been spent on graphics and visuals only... Maybe less visuals and more fun/gameplay/puzzles/whatever would be better ;)
the guy did miss the boat a bit on graphics, the really interesting things to solve these days are things like ai, player interactions etc.
Honestly, if graphics just stopped getting better right now for 10 years or so, I really wouldn't care that much, added another layer of post processing isn't going to make gameplay better, but some groundbraking ai just might. I have two websites, both through the same host, both using the same DNS servers etc.
They all load fine for me. A friend however, can load one but not the other, returning a timed out/failed message from both machines he tried it on. He can't even ping it. Anything obvious I'm missing? It was working fine for him until today :/ Possibly weird routing? Use tracert on Windows or traceroute (or better mtr) on Linux to check if he gets routed differently.
It could work I suppose.
They do need some major funding though. The negativity of the uninformed is probably one of their biggest problems in getting a new tech off the ground. The demo video doesn't show anything I didn't see in the last one really. Polys do have limitations and it's good that there exist alternate rendering systems like voxels, blitting and this infinite thing. Complaining about a sales pitch sounding like sales speak? And Notch weighing in seems a bit pointless. He's an indie dev. I think today I will start a base map!
Been mapping very few... and base maps usually tend to be easyer to make... I can't enter from either chrome or ie9, it says I have cookies disabled, but I don't. Anyone else experience this?
I do so want this, but $150???
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/118/1186476p1.html I really want to get a discount on the Quakecon pack and get all my id games (plus some) on Steam, but currently it's not possible to pre-purchase Skyrim to get the deal. This seems to only affect the UK, which is where my credit card is registered, so I can't get any kind of discount.
Anyone else in the same boat and know anything about why Skyrim is unavailable for pre-purchase? you can watch Assembly live on TV here. ASD was quite nice as usual (and very ASD-like with all the running and moving things). And Fairlight too. Makes being sick slightly more tolerable.
Anyone know any other maps that use these textures besides pulsars Menkalinan?
