    I'll do the best I can. I'll say wait for E3 first of all, but second I'll post Randy's response from the Gearbox website about this particular video.

    At E3 we're demoing live, we'll be playing it for an audience with a controller.

    A lot of the early stuff we've shown, starting at the Gearbox Liberation Party last year and even heading into today, is from earlier source and partially finished or unfinalized content - proof of concept assets, proof of concept game play footage, proof of concept technology, etc. There are a lot of aspects to development of this game - a lot of people are involved and a lot of complex work is spread out among them. Because of that, you may notice some differences and notice things changing in the stuff that is released as the game development continues. That's natural and even cool to see the different things going on as we make the game. For example: The footage on IGN is using stuff that was developed using similar assets and techniques that were used in the proof of concept video we showed at the Liberation Party, but not all of those assets match exactly where the game is today and what will be shown in the E3 demo.

    Quote from DD

    Understanding art and good architecture is great, but it is becoming less and less important.Understanding great single player levels is an extreme plus. Most LDs are purely multiplayer.

    ??? Did you mean most LD's that are not yet in the industry?

    I think TomWTW was offering his opinion based on his working on the game in question.

    Unreal3 = next gen

    Source = almost next gen

    It's a weird grouping of cool uses of next gen stuff. It's a series of broken up model pieces with displacement maps on the leaves to give them that super 3d look. On top of that, there's a bunch of leaves modeled off the surface to be actually 3d.

    Really, it's just damn good art.

    they're real, pulled straight out of the engine. I can vouch personally for the last one as I'm the one that pulled it out of the engine

    Mapcore is the worst name for a company ever. Like, Rand McNally is laughing at that name.

    both camps are right.

    on one hand the movie has some truly neat visuals and there are some crazy messed up deaths that happen.

    on the other hand the acting and dialogue are laugh out loud hilarious. well worth the price of admission.

    Yeah as mojo said we're retooling the front page, actually be seriously awesome. But it's gonna take a bit of love.

    Thrik- I'd like to talk to you specifically about it if you have time. Aim or Email or something.

    Alright.

    Nothing is really major here, but I figured I would send out an announcement so there isn't a lot of confusion as to the changes that have taken place. Mapcore and General have been renamed to Game Industry and Off topic to better reflect their intended discussion areas. These have always been two fairly well mainted forums, so I don't think this is much of a problem.

    Classified is going to be going through a bit of a change soon. It is being branched off into two forums in their own category. One forum will be for getting mod work and one will be for professional hiring work. The topics in the Professional hiring forum can only be posted by an approved user (aka someone we approve and know to have industry credentials. If someone posts in there, you know they are legit because we checked their creds. The mod forum will be much more casual and hopefully easier to find people.

    Political was moved to a new division called "where stupid things live." We all know this to be true. EoT also exists in this division. More things in the future might go here.

    I hope this helps everyone using Mapcore.
