This sounds like a load of crap! -PogoP

Yo dawg, I didn't actually say anything about the film. I'm not particularly fussed really!

Hooooly shit that looks absolutely incredible. I love looking at stuff in flat view, you can really see how awesome your colour palette is. Very nice work.

aware of the danger that i come across feeding the trolls, in this screenshot they have some weird shit going on... like the normal map of that dune still getting bright waves on the shadow side and the walls just stick straight out of the sand with no transition. the game will probably be awesome none the less and this is just minor shit in one screenshot but it still catches attention.

Jeez man, give the game a break... It looks incredible.

Hmmm. How do you guys feel about for example, them making a sequel to Deus Ex? Do you think making sequels to those great, iconic games is any different to making sequels to great, iconic films? I'm genuinely interested in what you guys think on the matter. Generally it's more accepted to make a game sequel years later, but not with films. I wonder why that is!

I love all you guys, don't be hatin' yo! I'm gonna change, I promise! I'll go to troll rehab.

Anyway, back on topic now.

THIS GAME LOOKS AMAZING!

Looks incredible!!!!!! Are you guys trolling?! (Is that better?)

Wow guys, I was kidding!!!! Come on... It's kinda my thing recently. I don't know why

I don't wanna be one of those guys that ya'll hate now, so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut

Art direction you say..? It's just re-creating real-life with Uncharted, that doesn't really require too much direction...

Maybe awful was a bit harsh!

But it does have a really plasticy look to it and doesn't look very atmospheric. I dunno, there's just something that seems off in those screenshots. Still, I'll probably get it anyway because I love me some Coop action, especially in the Aliens universe

Oh dear......... Looks awful

Oh, hey blorange! HP I'm surprised you like those shots, you are a hater of blorange

The Wire.

Greatest TV show I've ever watched. The writing is fantastic and the characters are so likeable.

I really hate pre-rendered cinematics

I just finished Limbo too. Great game, really nice atmosphere. My only gripe is with the ending, it sucked some major balls. You can't just end like that, it gives the player no satisfaction...

I was going to mention Cs_Mansion, I used to love that map

Rather than 'visually appealing' I guess I just meant more interesting sort of maps, rather than a weird map set in some kind of dusty, yellow... Market? Or something?

hehe you have just made a list of the most boring maps imo

Totally agree.

I much preferred the more visually appealing maps, I used to love running round maps like Backalley. I also used to love Cs_Siege, so awesome!

Yeah that's what I was getting at, I didn't word myself very well. I'm just saying it's more fun to work on something artistic rather than just re-creating the real world. That shit aint art yo.

Still, Crysis does look good and I know a lot of hard work went into it.

Sure, they have graphical fidelity with Crysis 2... But the environment is pretty boring. It's just a city, not exactly hard to re-create a city is it! (I'm not doubting the amount of time that went into it). Rage at least has its own world and art style, and I would much rather work on something more fictional than city-building.

Rage > Crysis 2.

Well it's gotta be said, it looks like an absolutely stunning game!

The music in Diablo is fucking incredible. Seriously, that is magician shit or something, it blows my mind every time I hear it. It's a shame to Matt Uelman isn't coming back

Interestingly though, he is now composing the music for Torchlight 2! He also did the soundtrack to Torchlight 1 as well. It's pretty good, very Diablo-esque!
