  • Oz PS3 Launch....

    Quote from Mazy

    I'm totally with you. Obviously I'm slightly biased since I actually bought a PS3, but overall I think the media and people in general are waaay outta control on the PS3 bashing. Sony has deserved a lot of it when their PR muppets act like children and they tear out hardware for different regions, but fact is that its a pretty decent console with some pretty good launch titles. I certainly haven't regretted buying it, Motorstorm online is probably some of the best fun I've had this console generation (At least when I'm winning ;D).

    But you'd definitely still be insane to buy a PS3 before a 360 if you're getting it for the games though, gonna take a while for the PS3 to get into the kinda release gear Microsoft has going on.

    Oh yeah, I bought a 40" Bravia yesterday (W2000, not the glass framed X2000), got it insanely cheap and the picture on this thing is unbelievable.

    Now I just want my free Casino Royale on Blu-ray

    For how much did you get it Maz? The cheapest I can find online after a quick search is like 1.8k D: !!

    Motorstorm is pretty good I agree. At first I thought this looks nowhere as good as in the videos they released, but I guess it looks good enough. I don't know what I was expecting after all the marketing buzz around the PS3's technical power.

    The game itself is great though, I'm not into racing games at all, but the tracks are great, very wide and open with multiple routes and levels. The "reversed boost" works great for me too, nice arcadish racer

    Quote from hessi

    die untern blaetter sind ja auch wie alle anderen auf einem plane. das ist bei der im moment horizontal ausgerichtet. d.h. parallel zum boden. aus der aktuellen perspektive sieht man jetzt jedoch ganz krass die polygonbauweise heraus. wenn du jetzt ein vertikal ausgerichtetes plane da reinsteckst, dann siehst du sowohl von oben als auch von der seite keine ekligen "flachen" flaechen. aus blickrichtung des astes ist es im moment wie ein - aber was besser waere +quasi 2 ueberkreuzte planes die einmal horizontal und ein mal vertikal da drin stecken. dann sieht es von oben und von der seite gescheit aus.

  • The Darkness Trailer

    "Darkness everyone - Darkness is spreading!"

    I don't know what to think about the game yet. The first footage I saw actually was the most promising - the light and shadow gameplay, being chased by cops but developing your skills to be the ultimate evil bad ass.

    This trailer though looks kinda B-movie quality and the demo I saw roughly a month ago really suffered from the "god mode presentation" effect. Overall I hope there will be enough challenge, despite all your demonic powers, evil minions and detachable tentacles (?!)..comments on demos of Crysis were similar though, when people saw the nano suit powers for the first time.

    I hope you guys take the time to let the game mature and don't rush it out the doors.

    Quote from Erratic

    A few critiques, the arches in the warehouse screen could be a lot smoother, seems you only used about 6 brushes for each arch.

    That scene puzzles me - it looks like a warehouse but there are umbrellas standing on carpets and a sign of a "Café" in the background.

    Did the people in Stuttgart move their cafés into warehouses during the war due to too many bombs raining down outside?

    Looks like a big level and lots of work, but it overall looks a bit rough - I agree with the others. The "Peek & Cloppenburg" sign made me chuckle though..

  • [REL] Dod_Abancourt_FINAL

    Mino's post does sound a bit harsh for a welcome, but his points are valid.

    Then again I think we've all seen far worse and although it's a long way to a masterpiece, if you are willing to improve and put more focus on realism and attention to detail your next map will already look a lot better!

  • Texture Scene 1: Calm

    Those textures don't look too shabby, I really like how you put them to use! Beautiful architecture and attention to detail, keep it up!

    Oh, and Klein already told you off Nexus/Dodger - but seriously, we don't need that kind of trash talk here so keep it to yourself please.

  • This is... SPARTAAAA!!!

    Quote from Mojo

    if that is the reason, then you are missing out. Its like saying that you are staying away from The Departed since it has Leo in it. KoH (director's cut) is such a great movie.

    I think I didn't see the director's cut version, but I kinda like the other one too
