Yeah that's nice to see.

Really sad write-up about the studio's demise here:

"While the average company salary has been quoted around $86,000, many many individuals were making far less than that, and living paycheck to paycheck," says a 38 Studios employee. "When we didn't get paid, it immediately became very difficult for a number of people, but they continued coming in and working anyway. As it seemed like things were not being resolved, people started bringing in extra food and leaving it in the kitchen for anyone who needed it to grab."

lol at those doors, they're identical. Totally agreed with HP, anything put in place that is intended for later replacement should stick out like a sore thumb.

Why people talk about Bioshock when they saw this game ? I totally don't understand...

The character design and use of 'magic' is very BioShock-esque. These guys worked on BioShock 2 so it's no coincidence.

What a great trailer. I've been vaguely aware of this game's development for a long time, but they've been very careful about revealing much so I've not had a great deal to get excited about. I'm totally sold after that trailer though, and if the game itself produces anything like that kind of atmosphere it's off to a great start. Hopefully Bethesda has a shock and awe campaign planned so it doesn't slip under the radar like its existence thus far, though.

Hah, surprising move. Kind of just puts me in the mood for the magnificent Dead Space when I watch that trailer, though.

Continuing working on Mission Improbable 3, and the upgrade to part 1 and 2 at the same time, with huge help from rick_d![Blocked Image: http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/m…_comparison.jpg]

Actually I think I'll add that to my forum signature

Love it. I actually want to live in that thing.

Wow! That is absolutely beautiful. Really well done video too, more people should do things like that.

Really enjoyed that, very well put together and pretty much impeccable CGI. It's also accomplished its task of getting me interested in a game I admit I had no real care about before.

Haha, what a surprise it's set in Russia. Looks good though, watched the first five minutes and am captivated enough to continue — although I've got to go out now. What's the backstory on it? Is it to tie in with a game or something?

Aww, that's sweet.

On its way I believe.

This feels like a bit of an attempt to grab some Uncharted fans, as the sequence is almost completely ripped out of Uncharted 3 (except Far Cry's effort is way less epic and impressive) and has the same kind of ultra-directed cinematic gameplay you'd expect from that franchise. Not that that's a bad thing in itself, but you have to do it really well like Uncharted to get away with it and you need to deliver an excellent script too — that was not the case here, with repetitive/annoying voice acting and a few weak attempts at Drake-esque witty comments during the action.

Not even close to writing the game off as earlier gameplay footage and developer interviews retain my interest, but this isn't the kind of experience I want from a Far Cry game.

It is so beautiful.

I think you've gone a bit far with the brightness. I think rather than mess with the overall levels, try to make a bit more use of contrast — have areas that are really well lit by lamps, etc to balance out areas that are much darker. This'll also help guide the eye and player to things that're important. You have lamps right now but their range and strength is almost negligible.

I enjoyed Quantum, but I do feel it tried to be a bit too clever and sophisticated with its plot for its own good — it lacked the clear and emotional power of Casino Royale, which remains an absolutely incredible film. I really hope they've managed to find the right balance with this one, taking the scope of the plot beyond Casino so it's a 'big' story but without losing focus.

Also it looks like Javier Bardem is the villain, which is awesome. Doubt his performance will be like his ultra-creepy persona in No Country for Old Men, though.

Not really an action figure kind of guy, but I was impressed by the craftsmanship of these:

Man, some splendid entries in the submission thread. Be sure to post them today, everyone!

Was this thread some weird kind of troll or something? He's not even visited since posting it and it looks like he posted the same thing on a few other 3D art sites.

Maybe D3ads can decipher his Twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/KirilsArt

That video was so mind-blowing back when it first came out.

Looks so cool. Love the attention to detail and overall vibe. A piece of art, man.
