Hahaha best comic ever.

Ahahahaha we love you d3 but that was hilarious.

Yeah that's what I thought when I saw it too, the movement is very on-rails which is exactly what the iPad version is: an on-rails shooter.

I personally don't see it as a bad move at all. At the end of the day they needed to use some game for that segment, and the fact RAGE is the game that got to make that cameo is only going to help it succeed as it probably deserves to.

Yup not watching, had enough spoilery shit.

There's Uncharted 3 yet mother fuckers.

This does look to be a truly sublime game, though. Have to get this once I have the money.

Omg we love you st0lve.

The poo foam video is so gross.

Quote from Mr. Happy

I think people are worried that if this really is true, then all their skills they've spent years developing will just fly out the window and they will be obsolete, and so they get all angry about it. Billboards used to be hand painted and when ad companies started screen printing them alot of sign painters lost their jobs.

This will probably do for game design what CGI did for films: lots of time previously spent on producing vast, complicated set-pieces in a studio will be saved, leaving more time to focus on bringing the actual vision to life as imagined rather than being constrained by real-life complications and technical hurdles. In other words the focus becomes the art and consequently the artists' skills rather than the production which previously limited said art.

This can be good or bad depending on what exactly your job is. And it's kind of inevitable anyway that at some point production will no longer be about endless optimisation, and will instead be about pure craft.

Carmack v2. Good to have all these nagging concerns people have expressed cleared up: yes the engine can do animation perfectly well, and yes they have solved the memory issues with an equally innovative and groundbreaking approach.

It's actually kind of nice to see this isn't just some overnight hype project that could be duplicated by competitors in a heartbeat and that actually he's been working on it for like a decade, living like a tramp and devoting his life to it like any good dedicated engine programmer.

Got respect for the man! Wish him the greatest of luck with what I personally think is gonna completely transform 3D production.

Yeah I think I'd be fucking off for a few days if I were you.

Oh my god that is awful.

Looks very dated.

Yeah then get fired.

While his main company has done some retarded things I can't have anything but absolute respect for Jobs and everything he's accomplished — not just with Apple but also with Pixar. He's always been a great speaker, been spot on with what the world wants and needs, and put quality above all else when so many other companies cut corners wherever they can. He has great principles and I've enjoyed many things that came as a result of his vision.

Hope he doesn't die a horrible cancerous death.

All right, looks like the collective creative energy has been officially splurged. I'll give it until the weekend when I have some time to collate the entries, etc so if anyone has any last-minute ideas they want to share now's your last chance.

Looks rather superb I must say.

I wish I'd never watched that fucking video. Since first being made aware of the Wilhelm screen I'm constantly spotting it in games, films, and TV shows and it always takes me out the moment.

Haha, yeah. To be honest Battlefield's in-game browsers have always been a bit shit and if I'd had the option to use something like Steam or All-Seeing Eye I probably would have.

With that said this new system does seem a bit weird. Making a robust web-based server browser is cool, but to not include any kind of server browser in the game itself? I'll be very surprised if they don't at the very least just stick a web browser in the game that simply shows the web-based server browser. They already use such in-game web browsers for things like MOTDs so I can't imagine it'd be much of a stretch.

Haha they're only kidding e-freak, I agree that oversight is rather strange. Makes it look like an alien surface or some shit.

lmao at the above.
