    All you did was put text on it...?

    ...it's that day and age where all a texture artist has to do is take a photo, and plaster it onto a skin and receive "Ooh's and Aww's" all over the damn place. Now FrieChamp, don't get me wrong, Crysis looks amazing and near life-like, but is life-like honestly the best thing in the world? This isn't specifically aimed at Crysis itself. I love games that have a high artistic value, but when a game hardly is just trying to reproduce real life, it takes the whole object of a 'virtual reality' away.

    But then again, there is hope. For instance, Unreal Engine 3, while looking amazingly beautiful and lifelike, most games on the engine actually have a certain style to them, and appear to have an artistic effort put towards them (note the keyword: artistic - I understand FULLY that Crysis has taken years upon years to complete and I praise you for that, but I just gather from the screenshots that you guys don't seem to want to put effort towards a certain art direction). I just really hate to see games start becoming so advanced, that it is very difficult to tell the difference between a game and real life. Sure it was imminent, but I really had hoped game developers would maintain those few factors that separate a virtual reality from a real one. What's everyone's position on this?

    Also, I've brought this up due to the latest comparison shots from Crysis, specifically this one:

    Have it on an invite basis only? So only 'trusted' people can join. Sure, it's selfish, but it'd weed out all the bad eggs from the good (hopefully)

    Very nice idea. A community like this is definitely needed.

    Because its EA, and they aren't variations. It's the same exact shit.

    I like it, reminds me of tribes Is there a commander any more? Didnt see the feature. Kinda sucks if not.

    I didnt see anything related to Bf2 in there, so I dont know where you get 60% unless your speaking ab out controls, and movement, animations, etc. So so much content though in my opinion.

    Same exact terrain textures, same effects with the exception of a few, same code structure, etc. It is a glorified Battlefield 2 modification.

    It uses over 60% of the same content, so I'd consider it a mod.

    1. It's the fact of role-playing. Women don't like fast-paced shooters (normally), so they tend to stay towards to the MMO games.

    2. Agreed

    3. MySpace is a wonderful tool for speaking to your friends and whatnot. Sure, it is over-rated, but it used by millions upon millions of people, and it's cool to see how old friends do over the years.

    Just FYI Sindwiller, it isn't a proper 'megatexture' as with Quake Wars. Megatexturing is a programming technique that addresses resource limitation and handles textures wonderfully. All it does is produce a color map, and an ugly one if I may so myself. You are a lot better off with self-texturing and using Terragen as a base as it's results are normally a lot higher of quality.

    It doesn't count as 'many people involved' when you steal the work without explicit permission.
