lol. sure, i'll let it console me. a little anyway. turns out it's not actually here. it's in greenbay. the flyers were a little missleading. the event is for all of ITT tech who wants to show up, but i don't want to drive 6 hours to go there. the DEGD head at my campus, Stan Bissinger, left at 5am to get there. i suppose i could have gone with him had i known, but i'm not sure i would have wanted to drive for 6 hours to get there and leave the same day.. 12 hours of driving in one day is a good chunk.

Hope they spend a bit more time on their level design this time around. Looking forward to it though, loved the combat in the first one.
total agreement. they just didn't sparkle. bland texturing, plain lighting.. overall bleh. the offices were the best looking areas in my opinion, and they weren't that amazing. monolith is capable of much higher quality.

Hey KFS, why aren't you coming to my school tomorrow? a bunch of your Raven pals are.

nice looking track kami. i'll have to try it out in a minute.
i tried doing this a while back with the first trackmania, did a little bit, but never got into the track editor overly much. then i saw this thread and that nations was free.. oh that is awesome. so i made one this morning.
my best so far is .. something just under 2 minutes. it takes forever to get through this track. it's not visually impressive, but i think it's fun to play. the goal was to strain your driving skills, not jumping skills, though there are a few jumps to keep your attention.

-image removed to save space-
ahh. that makes me feel better. now finish
but take your time if you need to. no one likes a rushed map. i'd rather wait a while longer and get the quality. -
is this map still not finished? boo

Q3I think I enjoyed mapping for Q3 the most of everything, or at least did at one point. Q3 mapping is great.

Quote from The Postman
I didn't play Farcry because it looked boring and like nothing new. My opinion is perfectly valid because I was turned off from the game by what it was, what it was marketed as, and what it appeared to be. And nowadays it's largely forgotten, let's not split hairs here. I'm not trying to gang-up on or diss the makers of Farcry. A lot of these decisions are pushed by publishers. They know what sells games, but not what makes them fun. Getting a game into the player's mitts is one thing, but making them love that game is another.
I dissagree with you there. I would liken that to saying you don't like a car's feeling or handling based soley on watching someone else drive it, or not seeing it driven at all. True, the game is a little cheezy at times, and it's got the big guns with a slightly brainless protagonist, but that doesn't mean the gameplay is brainless. Story, while it may not be the driving force in the game, does exist, and something interesting does happen to you near the end (instincts really capitalizes on that).
All in all, I think you're throwing it in the "games that suck" bin before giving it a chance. I won't deny I've done the same, but as one who's played FarCry and really enjoyed it, I think it deserves a chance from anyone I can get to play it. at least try out the demo. it doesn't perform as well as the shipped product, but you'll get an idea of what the gameplay is like, and the worst possible outcome is that you'll lose an hour from downloading installing and deciding you don't (or do) like it.

Mmm... did you guys listen to cliff blezinski's 2005 GDC speech? I thought he touched on something that is fairly important. He did a small rant on graphics mattering, the same way sound matters. - http://www.cliffyb.com/did.mp3 - the speech mp3 from his site.
i'd like to know your thoughts on FarCry postman.

if that's the case, CryTek is going to be around for a while. OutCry, WarCry, BattleCry, Cryogenics...

Seriously sweet stuff to be seen there. But if someone try's to tell me that will run on anything less than a nasa super computer then I ain't listening.
actually, they use old computer equipment so they know it won't fail, if memory serves, and i wasn't being lied to.
Quote from SkjalgThat covered it nicely.
hah. yeah it did. My love for CryTek grows further. I always tell people cryengine is awesome. .. i've been ridiculed for it.
cryengine. -
wow... yeah it is

i saw this being demo'd at a local computer store a few months ago. only ran one test, but it looked really nice.

my mother even thought that was beautiful.

very atmospheric, if a little dark. put some rocks and stones on the ground. that would make it a bit more interesting. You might make some kind of .. what's the word. off-shoots from the rock walls or something. just so they're not quite so up/down. it'll give them some depth.
I never did make a "my house" map, and I was bored a couple days ago, so I figured I might have a go at it. I think it's turning out pretty well, except that most areas are over-scaled. Even so, it's a fun side-note untill I get Q4 installed (which arrived today). I've spent about 2 days on it so far. There are other areas in the house, but I'm not showing them because they are quite empty.
