Quote from Rick_D30 minutes of gaming without any autosave and i forgot to quicksave.this is why we have checkpoints and autosaves, game developers, because now i quit your fucking game out of rage and i don't want to do the same badly scripted shit twice, you faggots.
You talking about STALKER I guess... I know what you mean.
Downloading now... first time I pay 59,90 for a game on Steam, it better be worth!!
a new challenge idea: rats maps!

Quote from SenturaDon't give me that shit. The problem is not texture or mesh resolution, not even lack of AA or full dynamic lighting on consoles, but stupid post process filters and bland lighting.
The tech demo is actually from 2004. It's from 7 years ago and still looks impressive:

so... you're saying that their level designers are awful?
uh? I'm talking about the art direction, not about the level design (which is great in GOW btw).
Something happened along the way that made someone decide to go from this:

I'm not talking about texture or lightmap resolution but about post-processes, environment colors, contrast etc.
Couldn't this screenshot below look much better with better lighting and colors?

The good news is that Epic finally realized that and GOW 3 might actually live up to its potential. The grass is green now at least.

I still think that looks much better than a lot of triple A games coming out recently! (Art direction wise)
Quote from deceiverOptimization for the consoles? And post-processing and fog lol? iono.

I don't get Epic. The Unreal 3 tech demo from 2005 looks so much better and compelling than anything else they have done since then:

If they had kept that art style for GOW it would have been the best looking console game for quite some time I bet.
But instead, they gave us this:

I'd really like to know what happened between the tech demo and GOW.

Well I think you should stick to your references and maybe try to recreate one of them. The building itself looks like a Frankenstein when it comes to architecture styles.
Quote from GloglebagWasn't uncharted 2 the king of console graphics?
Isn't this just a reviewer's opinion?
I hate myself for having missed the pre-order discount on Steam. It's 59 USD now 
(not implying that the game isn't worth 59, but for that price I'd rather get the retail version!)

Work is doing new staff photos, I approve of mine.

The lighting is being cast by the sun, yet the background is supposed to be in a studio. That's a photoshop I say.
I came to this thread expecting to see close-up pics of penises but I see these amazing photos. Good job Pint0!
Wow great entries everyone!
I had a lot of fun (and went through a lot of stress too 
) while working on my entry!

I was playing STALKER yesterday. I learned that the game doesn't have an autosave the hard way 
Ok, it works now. I just had to exit the game and reload the map after building the cubemaps.
Thanks guys, sorry for the stupd thread!
