I think the comments to the announcement on 1up.com speak for themselves:

Yes and next time I'll kick your ass.

:monocle:

Hessi, I understand where you are coming from. I also think that DOF is used too often as a cheap trick to make weak scenes look more flashy, but please be more careful with your choice of words. As mino already said, lines like "this looks ass/shit/etc." are frowned upon and you could ask first for more information behind the shots. As it turns out this was merely a first test of the effect, not a tool to pimp the scene. At the same time Psy, you could add some more info to what you post in the future, just to avoid confusion

Thanks!

I saw an interesting article on spiegel.de today (german) about console ripoffs from China and stumbled across these videos, showing them in action. We had a different Wii ripoff in the office lately and I can only confirm: these consoles are bad. Hilariously bad. The "Polystation 3" is my favourite. Enjoy:

Alles Gute Hessi!

Impressive!!

Happy New Ye...errr Birthday D3!!!

1) "More Matter," you're trapped on a slowly sinking submarine not so secretly suffering from schizophrenia, possessed by the vengeful ghost of Emily Dickinson. (that bland, greenish sickly corridor with water)

2) "Polaris," stargazing on the cheapest / lamest date ever - you still can't believe you're dating this guy. (the forest clearing with the stars and the red lantern lit guy)... Part of a series of "fivetwelve" maps where I limit myself to a playable area of 512 x 512 and try to do something interesting and polished with it.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I'm curious to see what you will produce! Sounds original!

Yes and we get the Nazis! Wait that didn't sound right..

More devs from Frankfurt, good stuff

Thanks for sharing, this looks very nice! The videos are quite spooky, especially the one with the worm demon The presented puzzles look a bit too easy and I'm not sure yet what to think about the taglines on some of the promo shots "kill mummies with a morning star!" - yay

Still, one guy is doing this? Wow!

Quote from Ginger Lord

According to my insider sources, Codemasters and Realtime Worlds headhunted around all the staff outside the hotel after the meeting.

Vultures...

lol it looks hilarious!

Congrats!!!

I think he refers to a small core team staying to work on game concepts...maybe a publisher signs a deal with them in the last minute and pumps cash into the studio, but that sounds more like a last straw of hope to me

Somebody has to save the economy! Go Thrik!

Can both of you calm down? Please? This is an innocent thread about vacation in Europe, not inter-cultural conflicts or your personal grudge against each other.

Independent UK studio Free Radical Design closed its doors this morning, GamesIndustry.biz understands, with multiple sources claiming that staff, including senior executives, have already left the company. (...) One source claims staff turned up to work today to find doors locked, and instructions to meet at a nearby hotel for a final company meeting.
