I think it depends on what engine you're using though... if I'm honest I still have yet to see Cryengine 2 used to it's full potential, sure the stuff we've seen aside from the main game are pretty (including HP's excellent Volcano Island)... but the game is capable of much more. The best use of the engine I've seen so far is Casus Belli, which has some amazing environments imho;

Especially the first screen... the lighting is a bit dull but look at that detail! When was the last time you saw apartment blocks with individual details like doors and air-conditioner units? I certainly haven't...

But still, these can look even better than they are right now.. Cryengine 2 has almost no boundaries, I'm looking forward to trying it out when I get myself sorted with a new workstation!

Can you do something like that on older engines? Yes.. but you need to know the limitations. Creating something like this in Source can be achieved with a loss of detail (probably smaller areas).. HL1 can handle that kind of detail with some forced trickery and transparent textures.. but you'd need to know what you're doing.

You certainly need to spend more effort when creating something that stands out on old technology, take Trempler's awesome mapping recently;

How many of you thought that was Source? Quite a few I'm sure, he's obviously put a lot of effort into that and it shows.

So talent is rendered moot by technology is really not the case, it just depends on what you're using and what kind of scope you have for what you want to do. I've seen some terrible maps for Cryengine 2.. you'd think with such a beautiful user friendly engine people couldn't fuck it up.. but they have done, we've all seen it !!

"Look at you hackers" .. a Shock 2 reference... nice.

Happy birthday dude, we should meet up for a beer or something sometime

Dark City.

Amazing film.. how the Hell did it take me so long to see this?!!

and The Hangover, in preperation for the second part...

Omg how dare you make a game which is obviously based on real-life bank robberies... BAN THIS SICK FILTH!!!

Seriously though, sounds pretty cool.. you need to include an easter egg where you can play as Heath Ledger's joker like in the beginning of The Dark Knight

Instead of people saying it's shit and they want their money back.. how about explaining why?!

I mean.. this pretty much has me sold...

Well it's a teaser, so I guess that's the issue... we wont see a full length one for awhile I guess.

Track the game on Facebook if you have it, all the latest official updates are posted there;

Nah you're not Gothic, Pripyat looks like that all the time ;D It's great! As a second piece of work it's amazing. Could you share some of your resources? I'd like to try a bit of matte painting myself

That looks brilliant, nice work! The only thing wrong with it for me is that you've obviously cloned part of the barn to the right and it's a little distracting from the atmosphere, you just need another suitable barn reference and it's done!

Lmao..

I don't see *that* big a deal with the modding community numbers, take a look on Moddb's list and you'll still see a heck of a lot of mods being made/released for many different types of games. What doesn't help is that a lot of games today are being ported from the console and thus have no modding support whatsoever =/ It's true that many developers favour indie these days, that much is clear.

Hah, Daily Mail strikes again! The game will never be banned anyway.. and what about New York being bombed to shit, isn't that a bit like 9/11?

In what Call of Duty didn't they get the British Police Cars right? They've always seemed accurate to me, and I consider myself to be a bit of a British Police Cars enthusiast.

Don't ever change Magnar, no matter how tempting it is, never sell-out to the comedy genius inside you...

Brilliant

Well they at least got the British Police Cars right...

Hey Trempler welcome to mapcore =) As I've said on the various screens you've posted on Moddb, your work is amazing! Can't get over the composition of the areas, excellent brushwork!
