  • Ryse - A not-so-exclusive XBOX One title by Crytek

    Quote from e-freak

    Also, as an artist myself, playing Ryse has been extremely interesting and eye opening in the sense that it is the first truly PBR game that I've played and it does make a difference, it's already 100% there, and that's part of the beauty of it. It allowed me to take a peak at the future when all games will take advantage of this tech and we're working with it now across most projects.


    (sorry helder ;P)


    ahah, deja vu! I'm really looking forward to try Ryse man! And Forza 5 is actually getting fantastic reviews.

    This new xbox isn't very appeal to me, but the games sure are.

    So the console is released, and already plenty of reports of faulty ones, particularly damaged disc drives, all of them sounding like this:

    They really fucked up with the bumpers on this controller. Everything else about it is really good, but the bumpers have so little feedback. They're really hard to press!


    Yeap, it was the first thing I thought to myself when I hold it a few weeks ago. Now I actually see everyone complains about the same, guess I'm not alone They really screwed up the bumpers.

    Microsoft tiles are not that bad. As with anything that it's different and new it takes some time to get used to it, but after a couple of weeks of using them (in windows it gets better. You basically just have to look at them the same way you look at the app icons on your iphone, they do the same thing.


    After a few a weeks you would get used to anything, it does not make it right now, does it?

  • Arbor Vitae - UDK Scene [WIP]

    [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/g1R6vUW.jpg] Some healthy material studies at some unhealthy hours. lol I wanna try and push for the moisture and dense look without it being too much, right now it is too much but man it's really hard to control without it looking weird, I want PBR! I did a pass on all textures, brought them up to a 186 ~ 200 mean, chromes are around 140 ~ 150 mean, i would go bellow that but without a cubemap it starts to soak the lighting with how black it is so you have to make compromises. I'm also currently doing a pass on all specs and gloss maps, added a lot of contrasty and detail to the gloss, and a bit more noise to the spec. I also added the AO to the spec and remove the AO from the difuse, in fact i removed most noise and detail from the difuse maps, i want the slight noise to come from the gloss. (Good example is that floor tile on the bottom left with chrome, rubber and plastic material.) feel free to tear me a new one

    Yeap, I agree. Whereas previous generations "leaped" in the graphical aspects when transitioning, this one did it way more in the other aspects that are just as important. It's good times man and we only saw the tip of the iceberg.

    Anyway, I enjoyed the film a lot, was a nice ride!

    She did say she'd spent some time in the simulator so she had at least some knowledge of how the Soyuz worked I guess?


    Saw this a couple of days ago and loved it. Saw it in old fashioned 2D since my friend doesn't like 3D and thought it was probably the best space-based film I've ever seen. Very very tense throughout and there were some lovely shots in it. Kinda makes me not want to go to space since if anything goes wrong up there you're fucked xD Not that I'm ever going to get to go to space anyway!

    Also, as an artist myself, playing Killzone has been extremely interesting and eye opening in the sense that it is the first truly PBR game that I've played and it does make a difference, it's not 100% there yet, but that's the beauty of it. It almost allowed me to take a peak at the future when all games will take advantage of this tech and when I myself will be working with it.


    Btw pogo, do not underestimate Knack! it's a great game specially for kids, my wife beat it in under two days, and she very rarely gets hooked into video games so surely they did something right.

    Oh right, that makes better sense then, you did came across as that, or maybe I'm just sleep deprived... and, I am sleep deprived, lol.


    Because I do agree there's not a lot of compelling reasons for getting a next-gen console right away unless you're really looking forward to try them out. But there's not a lot of games yet, which is a shame but it's always the same with every new generation of consoles.

    Quote from PogoP

    Tbh, this new console release is nothing special. In comparison to last gen, these consoles are nowhere near as significant, because these games aren't such a huge leap and you can just play them on PC...


    Can you play Killzone on PC? Infamous? Uncharted? and other first party games? No, you can't. And dude, I'm not trying to defend the platform I'm just saying it doesn't make sense when people say "These consoles are not PCs therefor they suck!"

    What kind of a logic is that? if you want a PC, get a PC. Consoles are different, for both the good and the bad.


    And btw the games that you can play on PC, such as Assassins Creed and Battlefield 4 are full of bugs, graphical glitches and crashes, and dude I love PC as much as the next guy, i'm a mouse and keyboard gamer too but when i get home from a long day of work I wanna sit on my fat ass and relax with a game, not browse nvidia forum to learn how I can get Battlefield 4 to run decently on my machine, I've had it with that shit, maybe you guys don't mind it as much as I do but enough is enough.

    Consoles are a closed box, developers know exactly what you're gonna be playing on, and they can tweak and tailor the experience for it. And that's exactly what these consoles are, a tailored experience different enough from PC to justify getting one.


    I was also considering getting a Wii U, but what for? For it to be sitting in a corner after I finish the latest mario? At least with the PS4 I'll be getting an uncharted every couple years, a god of war, a quantic dreams experience, a Metal Gear Solid, and others experiences you only have on consoles, and even with third party games I know when I plug that disc into my console it will run just fine, it may not run at 4k, 120hz and shiny pixels like the PC but at least it will run well, it's plug and play and on my comfy sofa, it's the little things bro.
