but one thing doesn't make sense:
if it's the arts, maps, models and gamecode that suck up most of the money, and core coding costs only a little, it should cost just a fraction of the game development to port / recode the thing to another platform. 

...and having that in mind the tech is using 'lowest spec in mind' and not being optimised for any platform exclusively, thus not fully utilizing its potential. In the result we would have crossplatform titles that look about the same everywhere. Well that's what that article is about.

But we will see how it works in reality. 

maybe you could have other cheap five minute tricks, like have worse average framerate and take off a few monsters from the maps in those ports where there isn't enough oomph in the hardware / core code. Or getting really ugly, downscale textures / whatever surface maps you have, to half.

Spoiler:

looks more like dragon warrior to me. 

Since I quit, I've been redoing my webby, including spending money on it.

I should've told you a month ago, but I forgot. 

Did the programmers let you sleep anything or did they slip into/out of their leatherpants as soon as they were alone eiht you? 

quit what?

site design could be, eh, improved alot
its not very appealing 

 

...ludicrous & subversive, but then I've always been a fan :) 

Thanks to the proliferation of highly automated publishing systems like Blogger and LiveJournal � which I use myself for news � it's extremely easy to start your own digital domain. A forum hosted here, your blog there, and a photos stash yonder; there you go.

However, this is all highly fragmented. Writing your own site, from scratch, is more difficult. Vanity blogs are one thing. Vanity websites are another.

And Vanity is what this site is about! I, Rob Cruickshank, a.k.a. the Reverend Cardboard Box of the Church of the SubGenius, am sufficiently besotted with my own brilliance that I feel moved to honour you with the fruits of my labours.

Fatty, I have always loved you. 

...aye 

This is funny... she plays alot, from GTA to Doom 3 to Psychonauts.

Rofl. Crazy thing is, i'd bet most of us are gonna be playing games at that age :} (and I bet games will look rather good in the year 2050 too). 

but we'll be stuck playing quake and other retro games for nastalgia 

I'll be 80 and playing FPS's and I'll feel like a cool old dude. But I don't think that's anything new. I'm sure elders these days are into things that we consider boring but for their day are cool. 

Racism 

Like, travelling the world and happily spending their money?
Or feeling sick all the time and taking care of whatever left of their health 

O_O 

good quake2 DM maps .map files

construction methods? 

I made some availabe - not sure if you can learn anything from those though: http://rem.fov120.com/rem/ 

Just bought 1000 bottles (yes, 1k) of Pepsi. A single bottle is 1,5 liters, which means that I have, in my house, right now, 1,5 cubic meters of soda. And, let me tell you, thousand bottles take up more space than you'd think.

So, anyone need a drink? 

You're aiming for the Sony VAIO, right?
