    the story is about triumph over adversity and friendship developing out of the most difficult circumstances.

    it is a beautiful lesson and if the dad wasn't such a faggot and paid attention to more than just soundbytes he would understand this.

    what about all the hateful comments about fat people in that very same clip they showed?

    waah waahs oemone said something i don't like and it makes me aware of problems in my life waah waah.

    i hope they get cancer.

    your portfolio is pretty dull though man, no offence but it doesn't seem all that creative. Hopefully you will land the job but perhaps you could polish your folio and make it all sparkly?

    Quote from Furyo

    Whoever thinks these levels will only be accessible to those that pre-ordered the game are very ignorant of the game industry's practices. They will absolutely be a Day 1 5 or 10 bucks download to everyone else.This is a pre-order INCENTIVE. It helps Gamestop and Wallmart figure out how many copies they really should buy from EA. Hence giving it for free because EA is making more money from the large retailers buying a more precise number of copies for themselves instead of either coming up short or having way too many unsold copies a few months after release they'd have to send back to EA. Everybody wins.

    quoting to get this on the next page because it's the truth.

    yes, i'm so fuckin clever.tell me oh mighty rick how else they would approach this?

    easy sunshine no need to get all agressive. i live in sweden now and i would hate for us to cross paths and be all angry over something i said on the internet >:L

    anyway, i don't know how it will be handled. my guess is they kick people off and then pop up a little link for you to buy the map, something like xbox live and the modern warfare maps etc.

    Quote from Jetsetlemming

    There's a big difference between DLC you can buy whenever and a preorder bonus that's in place specifically to make you preorder, availably only from preorder.Buying games before they're out is dumb, splitting the playerbase because you're trying to make people buy games before they're out is dumb. DLC is a separate argument (the only DLC I've bought in recent memory is Killing Floor skins )

    it's not ONLY available as a preorder bonus and you would be a fool and a communist to think that. there is also no splitting of playerbase of those who bought it before and after release, i still don't know where you got that from. if you want to play battlefield 3, then you can buy it and enjoy it. but dice are saying: "we have this DLC planned, you can choose to buy it once we release it, or you can buy it in advance at no extra cost if you want to, because if you really want it you are probably going to buy bf3 anyway, so why not get something for free."

    i honestly don't see how it's such a big deal. it's not technically part of bf3. it's also a good tactic to get some preorders in, it's good to get the money trickling in as soon as possible.

    and DLC actually stands for Down Loadable Content, there is no definition for what DLC needs to be. player skins, guns, maps, a new campaign, etc etc as long as it's downloadable then it's DLC.

    Movies don't actually have hundreds of separate people working on them, and for 90% of those people they don't need to be fully informed and get a full script anyway, and the movie industry takes lawyerin' more seriously by far than the games industry, and spoilers FAR more seriously. Nobody actually gives a shit about game spoilers.

    I care about spoilers. Did you see me spoil Portal 2? Seems others care about spoilers too.

    As for the meat of your comment I don't really know where to begin. So let's begin at the top.

    Quote from Jetsetlemming

    Just the actors, 1 camera man, and the director right?

    Quote

    For Avatar, these are the companies credited for the visual effects: Weta Digital, New Zealand (most of the work, character modeling, animation, rendering)

    Industrial Light and Magic, USA (180 non-character shots, mostly the human aircraft in the final battle)

    Stan Winston Studios (most of the props, including the Ampsuit and the Samson helicopter)

    Framestore, UK (70 shots of the Hell’s Gate)

    Hybride, Canada (graphics for the link room)

    Prime Focus, USA (design and compositing of the control room screens, HUDs, etc)

    Look Effects, USA (compositing)

    Hydraulx, USA (digital extension shots of crematoria and cryovault)

    Giant Studios, USA (motion capture)

    Blur, USA (4 space shots of ISV Venture Star)

    Pixel Liberation Front, USA (screens and HUD design)

    BUF (the conscience-transfer tunnel)

    Lola VFX, USA (digital cosmetic)

    Display More

    According to the internet, at one point 900 people were involved.

    If you think it's hard to keep track of the 300 or so people involved in video game production then how the hell do the movie industry handle it.

    Quote from Jetsetlemming

    They will know enough to make any leakpotentially devastating. What if somebody working on the final scene of the movie lets slip that "so and so" dies. They don't need to leak everything, just enough. Same with this latest leak, the game isn;t out there, but just enough information was leaked for people to draw conclusions from.

    Quote from Jetsetlemming

    the movie industry takes lawyerin' more seriously by far than the games industry, and spoilers FAR more seriously.

    How do you know this? I don't remember reading about someone getting sent to prison or fined for leaking info from a movie?

    And if someone can leak something from a video game and gets caught, do you honestly think they would get a slap on the wrists? The reason you don't see anyone punished is because nobody got caught.

    Whatever, I'm sure you'll respond with some meaningless shit, which I won't read because my initial question was valid: why doesn't the movie industry have this level of leaking. they have a different business model than we do but people are people regardless. I would just like to know WHY they don't have these problems to the same degree as video games, and how we could implement their techniques.

    I wasn't looking for some random opinion that opposes my view on general principles.

    oh and one more thing, the modern warfare singleplayer series has been continuously enjoyable, same with all call of duty games. just because they don't reinvent the wheel every 12 months people act like they are being anally fucked by a donkey-sized uncircumcised member.

    to go back to movies, lots of average shit gets released, not every movie is a citizen kane, not every movie needs to be. same with games. but i think this is a case of something being popular so it's cool to hate. i have nothing against calling out a bad game, but so far the series hasn't actually been bad. the multiplayer has not been everything i wanted but that's my opinion. i know a lot of people, and millions i don't know, who absolutely love what they have done with the multiplayer.

    the lesson is: just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's bad.
