Jaaaaaaaade.

Fek off the lot if ya

Pretty sure its in house.

You've gotta be sh*tting me. Its one of the most famous moments in video game history.

Apologies if you really didn't know but like ... next you'll be telling me that you didn't know Darth Vader was Luke's Father, Soylent Green was people, Donnie Dies, Rosebud was the name of his sled, Tylder Durdan isn't real, Neo is "The One" or other such taken-for-granteds of modern culture [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif]

That's a very nicely made tribute to games.

Still haven't gotten over the death of Aeris

Yeah have to admit I tried and gave up too, the dl was too slow on my crappy UK connection.

Good job guys. I'll be playing it fo sho!

It may well be illegal technically, but Valve has basically become what it is today by encouraging and building upon the mod scene. It would be pretty dumb to start slapping about the enthusiasts who buy and mod their games.

making money out of the assets makes it into a completely different matter of course.

It sure better be

Grats Zaphod.

Thanks for sharing Philip, maybe one day one of the 'core will pick up the gauntlet and finish it off.

Thanks for the collation skdr, I am likewise well looking forwards to it.

Is there any word on a release date yet? (I was losing the will to live reading through the 10+ pages of dross in the other thread).

Well I've gone from 26, to 21 to 7 so I guess at least I am climbing the ladder.

Really dont agree with Climax being in 26th on that list though. The games that are name checked as being their biggest hitters were all made by the Brighton studio which was sold along with the team (read talent) to Buena Vista (Disney) about 6 months ago.

From the perspective of a potential employer one thing I'd be interested in knowing about would be exactly what everything I am seeing in the video was. Captions in the corner of the screen with the following kinds of info pimping exactly what you made in the scenes:

BattleGrounds Mod

Created in: Valve Hammer editor

100% custom textures, character, environment models & skybox

Urban Exploration scene

Created in VHE /3DSM / PS-CS2

100% custom materials & models

You need to pimp yourself as much as humanly possible in your reel without overwhelming your viewer. It is your 30 seond chance to persuade them to look further into you and your skillset. Use as many hooks as you possibly can to try and get them to check out more of your stuff.

Just my 2p though, perhaps the more art-centric pros here think this is a bad idea for a reel?

Just post it over at lanmaniaX.com Ra7 will likely put it up on filefront for you if you do so.

Quote from Mazy

God of War 2Fuckin luv it!

Truth.

The US release has a hidden 720p mode in it too if you got that version. Would look top on yer nice big telly Mazy

If they simply reskinned Oblivion as fallout and removed the god-awful (let me just state that once more so I'm not misunderstood) GOD-AWFUL auto dynamic difficulty I would be happy as Larry.

'Kin ell.

just had a my first good look through the maps and gotta say there is some serious talent on show there. Fantastic stuff. Someone needs to get Valve to pimp this on Steam some of this is as good / better than the DM maps they have officially released.

Nice work Moroes. I agree with the guys above though, a little more dirt and grime; transitions, structure damage and staining would go a long way.

Great to see a slightly different theme for a DoD map though. Props for that

Someone really needs to hire this guy, if he's not already employed that is. Anyone know out of interest?
