This is partially my fault. I thought it might be a good idea to do a “black and white” old Cache in that video, but they just turned saturation down 50%. Then when you see the new Cache it’s like “omg”, but the reality was it just looked like the colors were messed up. We need to take saturation down but yeah, gotta take some responsibility for that one.

I also should have unbuttoned my jacket on the desk, looked pregnant at times

oh well, no do-overs in life. Still pretty happy with how stuff went, and still a bit of work to do before release

Yeah, it's obvious this will just cause industry-wide shift in how pricing works, it's not acceptable to developers to completely lose control of pricing their own games. The market will be flooded with insanely discounted re-sales which the developers see $0 from.

???

So on paper it's similiar, but the PC market has heretofore been completely insulated from the console GameStop re-sale stuff. There's also a difference between digital items being resold and physical items being resold, such as a disc. A disc most likely isn't going to be going far from it's current location and likely not going international on re-sale, there are shipping costs associated there and currency differences. I don't know if it would be super devastating but it's hard to argue it won't hurt developers of PC games. Not remotely an expert on this, but IIRC there is already a lot of currency manipulation going on with the sale of game keys, it seems likely that would flourish in this kind of environment.

It's good for consumers in the short term who get cheaper games, but in the long run that just means worse games.

Yeah I have no idea how this becomes workable. Only going to reduce the value of games across the board

I gotta admit, even tho I'm hyped about this! This trailer is ok'ish. Envs look a bit on the generic side, the whole premise actually looks like a remake of the first game, music in the trailer is really blaring at you here.

We'll see.

Looks pretty good to me? Seems like a solid trailer

Damn they put "final trailer" on this as if I'd seen the others, had no idea this movie was so close.

Welcome back to Mapcore dude!!!!!!!

Just watched Vampire Hunter D the movie for the first time. Owned

Doomguy was in stone coffin thing for a long time, his muscles probably atrophied. The events of 2016 made him buff again. Wait why am I even talking about realism at all with a doom game

Doom Guy is hot, actually. He’s sexy.

I forgot that this game is a thing, that is going to rock, and now I’m excited about it again

If neither version was publicly released you’re fine.

watched the Ninja Scroll movie. fucking owned, its metal as fuck

Wonder if it’s accurate.

I love that we're getting some great space movies. Interstellar and Gravity rocked, hoping this one can get on that level of quality too.

It would be really nice way to show off the changes to your levels while you are working on them.

The CS GO Team uses the same plugin when releasing a blog post about new maps, like Inferno or Dust II.

Great idea. I wonder if @Thrik could make that happen?

Do want.

“Spawns have final details” ...final implies it’s too far along to enter our contest. Not that complicated, we don’t want stuff with art released prior to the announcement. Greyboxes are fine.

3 minutes ago, [HP] said: I think the Wachowskis are very hit and miss, they have some really horrible stuff, almost unwatchable, yet at the same time some of their works are REALLY damn good. Movies like, Speedracer, V for Vendetta and Assassins are absolute must watch classics. On the other hand, Matrix Revolutions, Jupiter Ascending and (arguably) Cloud Atlas are so bad it really makes you question what the fuck they were thinking.

So, what gives me some faith here, is that Matrix Revolutions was so bad, in so many obvious ways, there's no way they can't know that, there's no way they don't know that the formula to make a sequel is somewhere in the first movie, not in the two sequels that proceeded it. Also, I didn't say I'm optimistic, I said I'm open minded.

I forgot about V for Vendetta. So, that was at least watchable. Surprised to hear Speedracer was any good.

Quote from Radu

1 hour ago, Radu said: The Matrix is one of my favorite films. I even like the sequels, but I am not optimistic about this one at all. Hopefully it turns out mind numbingly great, but I have my doubts.

Yeah the first one is an amazing, polished work of art. The second and third were unbelievably stupid, it's crazy they were made by the same people.

Sometimes an artist creates an amazing work of art, then creates more art that is so bad you almost swear they must have stolen a wandering gypsy's amazing idea for a project, then killed them to hide the secret forever. The Matrix is a good example of this phenomenon, as is "The Sixth Sense" (although in that case, the gypsy had like, one or two other good ideas that M. Night also stole...)

What have the Wachowskis done since the first Matrix to inspire any confidence?
