It Is A Matter Of Opinion

#4058 posted by ProdigyXL on 2004/04/15 13:24:12

I already said some people are happy with what is already available, others look forward to new technology. If you were immersed with that, thats great. For others it simply takes more.

Wrath, I was talking about graphics advances only.

Xl, I'm not dismissing atmosphere, I just think that what it adds is not on the same scale as, say, what Doom's support for freeform and variable height levels added over Wolf. Horribly subjective, true, but that's just my personal feeling.

Damn

I have to apologize for these last few comments on my part. I typed them way to fast and didn't check them over at all. All the errors in them are even bad by my standards.

My Point

Was really from a economical view, not necessarily a fundamental one. I just got through paying off the comp I have, and the main reason I spent the money ($2300) was so I would have a swank machine when Doom 3 was released. Not only has the release been delayed, but as of late it seems that the game has been clamoring for better and better hardware, which will ultimately cost more and more money, which sucks copious amounts of ass. I say release the damned thing already, before I have to buy another comp to run it ;)

But to be honest, I don't think my rig will have a major problem with the game -- it did fine with the leak and that code was in much rougher shape than the final version of the game would be (or at least should be by now, dammit), so I'm not really that worried -- but given the situation, I find it to be annoying at the moment.

Hmm

It's not a case of not looking forward to new games. But I'm never again going to get the same sense of wonder I got when I first played Wolf3D and could run around where ever I wanted. Or when I first played Quake and it was really 3D. Or... (etc).

Current graphical advancements, while nice, are no where near as impressive.

And please don't try to limited it to just 'really excited about the future' or 'stuck in the past'. I can look forward to things without thinking they are > sliced bread. There are more than two viewpoints in the world.

(wrath, I agree, physics and AI are what is really going to break new ground, but that's not graphics).

Actually people are starting to figure out how to offload a lot of physics calculations on to the graphics card. I'd expect that's going to become standard in the future.

Hrm

Just played the RTCW demo. Yeah it's kinda old but I'm finally on a good system. I'm not too impressed with the demo... some little things like not being able to bloody up the dead bodies or blow off individual parts... minor gripes I guess.

Maj,

#4067 posted by wrath on 2004/04/16 08:04:49

well, you said "[HL2 and Doom3] ..aren't going to advance anything but atmosphere" so you could see where I'd have trouble knowing you only talked about graphics.

You're completely right. I humbly offer you my enormous cock as an apology.

So What's On That Smart Visors, Jordi?

#4069 posted by madfox on 2004/04/16 13:25:56

the breach in the VirtualReality Quake 1 hit, was actually bigger than the dimension itself...

So What's Been Happening??

Far Cry was released about a month ago, pissing off ATI graphics card users by crashing on half their systems after a reliable 5 mins.

That's What You Get For Not Buying NVidia
