About 30-45 mins in. Its just WOW. My game of the year for sure. Calling it now.

The game trailers episode was good and the new trailer got me really hyped again. I am getting it regardless though, asTesco took the £30 for my pre-order the second I confirmed it.

Sounds like the death streak could balance things a lot more or people who are not as good.

Defrags advice covers art too, to a large extent. Solid advice there.For the website, something that is fast and easy to navigate is the most important qualities. It helps if it looks good too. The reason is that people who get sent cvs will probably be looking at quite a few sites and if you can't get to the images straight away chances are that whoever is doing the looking is going to be annoyed. And you do want to try and keep them happy since being annoyed makes it easier to find faults with your work Flash is usually a bad idea and personally I'm in two minds about lightbox because you can't save images from it. This is probably not all that important to someone who is looking at your portfolio to determine wether to give you an interview or not but still, something to keep in mind. Having said that, it's an elegant way of displaying your images. A blog or wordpress is ok I guess but if you can create a nice gallery, all the better. Peris website is a good example, as is PhilipKs (yes, they are similar but I like them both).

Thanks

Just looking at those two sites I think I could build something like that ok and it would be better than a wordpress blog.

Thanks

thanks dude.

Out of my room for the next few days so my desktop is in a box, so collecting a lot of reference and thinking about layout etc.

Thanks.

Another l4d map a campaign this time to try out some scripting stuff. Going for something that a bit like the new dlc as in 2 chapters with plenty of detail.

So i finished it my first source and l4d map. Quite happy with it for a first project in source.

Fun to watch. Good to see some "good" games coverage on the BBC. They can talk some shit when covering new releases or events.

Anyone see the menu's for this? Even they look great!

You still haven't fixed that fog or tree line.

yea, I actually just went in and fixed the fog up to a colour the same as the sky and it looks loads better. Not sure why the f I didn't do it before. Yea the trees are still sticking out.

Thanks

Great idea. Looks like they have some design ones coming up.

Been waiting for this since it was announced as a 360 game way, way back. Just watching the videos I can tell it controls and plays a lot like crackdown.

So want to play as the cops.

thanks guys. working on all that stuff.

This is my first project in source and I have sort of been learning as I go so I thought a survival map would be better for a first project rather than trying a campaign just yet. Anyway it’s set in a gas station between two tunnels and I still need to give the border area around it a bit more love but let us know what you think so far. Still learning the finer details of the lights in source so they are a bit

A note about the shots, I used fraps and they look darker than it actually is in game.

I do have a different name for it as well.

Thanks as always

Mat

I need to ask about portfolio building. I like to play around with web site building but when it comes to building something really solid.... I am playing with wordpress at the moment but there I would need a really good theme for the layout. Can anyone recommend a good way to go as far as site building is concerned? Want to start to think about this good and early.

Thanks

Looks fucking great! Not watching a lot of videos from this as Uncharted 2, ODST and MW2 are three games I just want to go into without knowing much about the singleplayer.

Love the style. Looking forward to trying this one.

I did not get the first episode. But I really want to fly that chopper that can lift a train of the tracks.

I want to see an episode where you play on the other side (police) at some point.

September 5th can't come quick enough. Been years since I actually REALLY wanted to see a film.
