  • Eidos and game reviews (again)

    • mjens
    • November 24, 2008 at 10:51 AM

    Maybe it's normal for big game dev's like EA or Eidos because they cannot release a big title again and again and it's really not bad game but many gamers used to say that it's crap just because it's old title made again with nothing better except new story, enemies etc. It's true but there's no time to make something better...

    I'm mad on all of this "new industry practises" like hurry up with progress and let some bugs came into project because game should be made in one year... All that stuff is made for money, really big money worth buying reviews and other PR / marketing shit. I hate all that lies heard from PR guys...

    When I'm done with part of my work (Level Design) I'm on a lookout for every little review about the game to see is it was cool, what looks crappy and many other things that makes an art - not a typical games factory workers to release the product, but an artists that want to see the honest reviewer's score...

    Maybe I could be there, but tell me exactly in what city you want to meet. I'll have some free days of work and I can visit DE cuz it's close to PL Meeting might be cool but I'm affraid that you'll all talk in your freaky language and I'll be bored cuz not understanding the word (except "bier trinken" )

  • I want to get a Digital Camera...

    Really cheap: used Canon EOS 350D Kit (Body + 18-55 mm lens)

    Cheap and not bad: used Canon EOS 350D Body + Sigma 17-70 mm lens

    Not so cheap but good: used or new Canon EOS 400D Body + Sigma 17-70 or 24-105 mm lens

    Expensive but really nice: new Canon EOS 400D Body + Sigma 10-20 mm + Sigma 24-105 mm lenses

    Advenced set for pacient (no AF - Auto Focus) users: any Canon EOS Body + EF-S to M42 adapter + cheap M42 lenses like Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 36 mm or 180 mm

    Those sets are for advanced users, quality of the camera/lenses depends on money you can put into it.

    I had Pentax, Olympus (E3 is really cool but expensive) and Nikons in my hands and I decided to buy Canon. The only bad thing from Canon is that only lenses have IS (Image Stabilization) - other producers offer cameras with IS built in camera body.

    I think Mirror's Edge will be great, too, but they're showing me too much parkour, I want to see the gunplay.

    Now that's what I call a real EPIC fail

    I think Infinity Ward is a bit mad on COD5:WAW becose it's a bit crappy and it might hurt the title... I hope that COD6 will be great (em, I just know that ) and there will be no more COD's form other developers...

  • "casualizing" of games

    • mjens
    • November 10, 2008 at 10:11 PM

    All I can say is "Yes, you're right" and thats really sad. I can writa about my worries of game's future but all I can now say is that I miss adventure games like Day of The Tentacle, Gobblins 3 etc. and other old good games where developers didn't made games for "fun casual play" but to have an adventure, feel the atmosphere of the game world... Ahh good old times

  • Compact camera

    • mjens
    • November 9, 2008 at 2:16 PM

    Canon S5 IS or older S3 IS is also good but S5 IS is my favourite. Really cool photos, a lot of features, great working image stabilization... Check more on Canon web page... If you really don't want to spent a lot of money on camera then check Canon PowerShot A*** series. Those are really compact but quality is not good as S5 have...

    Cool but there's no MMS :x I've already hacked it and got a Cycorder (movie recorder - poor quality). Don't buy that

  • Coop

    • mjens
    • November 2, 2008 at 8:05 AM

    Thats weird, I saw a Coop Mode in K&L on X360...

    Dead Island is a new wave in our technology (wide opened spaces, many enemies on screen) so it is very possible that also Coop Mode will be implemented. I'm not saying "Yes, there will be Coop" but DI is still in development and now there's no bigger problems with planning that mode. Problem might be found when we'll be out of time to do that...

    As Zacker said Coop Mode is very hard to add. If there's a trigger on a level that is checking a distance between player and some other thing, what to do when there's two players. Yes - check distance for both of them. That's x2 of work to do. Another example is splitscreen. When engine works fine on one screen there might be problem rendering another field of view of second player.

    Games like GOW was made for Coop, levels where planned great just to have fun on two player coop. In open space levels there's a lot of problems with setting position of player and good action spawning that won't look stupid so first of all: games with engine that can support it and games that are planned to be coop might give a good gameplay

  • Max Payne [movie]

    • mjens
    • September 28, 2008 at 10:32 AM

    Well, the trailer looks ok as a movie but it colud be called in many different titles - "Max Payne" was a game, different that the movie...

    I enjoyed the first and the second part of the game but I haven't seen any BIG motives similiar to that movies... I don't like american productions becose in many movies there's a "God" and "Devil"... Ahhh I'm going back to "Bad Lieutenant", that was a cool movie...

    GameCam is cool becose it can compress "in air" your .avi with divx or xvid... I had a lot of problems with that program - it makes really weird things to our software in office... If you want to record not much .avi's GameCam could be good but it's not free...
