oh man, thief 3 is spot on. in fact, the entire thief series and their goddamn awesome atmospheres should be in this thread.

as if developers need anymore reason to stay away from activision...

ahahhaha, brilliant!

yeah i have the 60gb version as well, so i don't have a reason to switch.

that is sweet, the editor seems very intuitive.

that's a great comparison, KFS. to me it poses the question whether it will actually change for activision blizzard, or whether they will just stay money hungry since it is an easy way for them to go (all things put aside, world of warcraft, guitar hero and call of duty each probably make more money than any other franchises from other publishers). obviously you would only want to change your business strategy if things don't work out... and i'm just not sure that's the case with activision blizzard...

if they do, however, it'll show that the industry is progressing into maturity.

honestly EA have turned from being the scum of the universe to being actually decent. activision blizzard seem to have taken over the throne of the malevolent tyranny that is the game industry.

nice shirt btw... how'd you get a hold of that?

Quote from JeanPaul

If you think a 100,000,000 candlelight spotlight is going to illuminate directly forward and nothing around it, then you have lost your mind

um, reflectors? there's gonna be fall off no doubt, but how much of it depends entirely of the specific reflector and how dirty the glass is

i guess it depends on the angle too...

yeah you'd never see spotlights illuminate the ground...

no obviously i can't, because i already shot down those points on the previous page. i'm not going to further this discussion, and i hope those of you that are pro mac won't either.

for any other argument, this guy says it best.

a whore with plastic surgery, make up and all other forms of fashionable treatments is still a whore. it may be the best looking whore on the best looking street in the best looking city on the best looking planet... but it's still a whore.

design is everything where design matters. in a computer, exterior design - apart from airflow or other technical relations - matters next to nil.

awesome. everyone is getting brainwashed by exterior design. the world is slowly and steadily coming to an end...

well i sit 8 ft from mine because it's across the room from my couch. i did not set it up to have exactly 8 ft between the tv and me...

the resolution is fine at the distance; like i said, games look excellent when i play them.

I heard on, I think it was Rebel FM (maybe Idle Thumbs?), that IO isn't working on the next Hitman game, that's been given to the team behind that new Batman brawler that just came out.

because local radio stations are always the best source for credible rumors...

that shot looks much better. honestly you might just get better results with making the level daytime.

Quote from DUFFY

You sit 8 ft from a 32" 1366x768 and games don't look like shit?

any specific reason why they should? i play both my consoles on that tv as well, it's always looked awesome. i credit this partly to the fact that lg make awesome tvs.

around 2.5 meters, that's 8-9 ft.

i've had no problems hooking my tv up to my pc. it's just like a regular monitor except widescreen. my tv is a 32" LG with a 1366x768 res. it's not really a problem with games since the games themselves will notice the change in screen and will adjust accordingly.
