    Cloud Atlas. I had high hopes for this one but unfortunately it didn't live up to its expectations I think Seven Pounds did the whole intertwining lives thing way better (If I still remember correctly).

    Not a bad movie though but could've been better, a bit of a shame!

    Nice playtest!

    I'm not a multiplayer design expert, hardly made any multiplayer maps so perhaps take what I say with a pinch of salt. Anyways, this is what I had troubles with:

    1) Going into the toilets doesn't give you any tactical advantage, you just end up at the same location/angle like you would if you take the normal area. My suggestion is to lengthen the toilet area and make a different exit so going in there actually gives you something different. Perhaps not like I've drawn cos then CT need to look at yet another entrance into that area!

    2) I always try to flank and the terrorist spawn area is a badly designed area imo, it's really huge and it takes forever to actually end up in the "main loop" again. I don't even see the reason why the spawns have to be included in the loop at all. So yeah, those areas at the bottom of the map feel a bit useless. It feels like you've put most of the effort in making the choke points work when CT and T just run towards each other but not when they circle around.

    3) Overall still very long corridors with no cover, add some angles! It's a fancy office building ffs, right?! There's also something weird about this choke point. While you get out of cover you're pretty much defenseless unless you can get into that meeting room. Perhaps do something more interesting with that meeting room to make the transition more interesting? (Wall it in + door on one side, keep one glass wall. It's a bit hard for zone control if both are glass walls. Or something!)

    Cheers!

    Haven't modeled anything in ages (last attempt was a railgun some year ago but that was a bit too ambitious I'm afraid).

    Felt the 3D bug and had a free day in between holiday celebrations so I pretty much modeled non stop from noon till evening (ridiculously long for this :/)

    I really like swords but didn't wanna spend time designing anything so I just went for the "Elucidator" from Sword Art Online.

    So, here it is. Still needs some tweaks, some proportions seem off. I think I know what it is but crit away!

    Just testing a high poly, not gonna bake & texture... having enough issues as it is, the wires are a total mess. Anyways.. pretty happy with it so far even though it took me far longer than expected. Gonna wrap things up when I have the time over the next days.

    my pc is maybe 20 meters from my tv

    Seems like I overestimated the reach of the controller, it's only 10m

    my pc is 4 rooms to the left of my personal bowling alley

    Haha Guess I could've worded that better.

    Not sure why you'd need a PC next to your TV though. Just draw cables and use a wireless controller, the xbox ones go through walls pretty well.

    Works excellent in an apartment, perhaps not if you have a big house and your PC is on the other side of it... Then again, don't most people have their multimedia rooms pretty close to eachother?

    was i the only one laughing at that trailer? perhaps it's a bit mean, but it just looked so silly. there's enormous parody potential in that trailer.

    I was laughing all right, more amused smiling rather than laughing AT it though cos I knew early on it was Kojima messing with us (I'm gonna be really confused if he's got nothing to do with it o.O)

    It IS silly, there's so many weird stuff going on that you just wouldn't see anyone else try. Perhaps I'm giving them too much credit but at this point they can throw anything at me without me rolling my eyes, it's just their style

    Ok let's recap:

    Joakim Mogren = "Joakim" is anagram for "Kojima", ogre as in Project Ogre. (Project Ogre has been said not to be MGS: Ground Zeroes)

    Twitter Alex Rubens: There are people in the VIP section of the Konami party wearing Phantom Pain/Moby Dick Studios t-shirts.

    And besides all that there's a shitload of hints in the trailer. Sounds legit to me, has Kojima written all over it...

    If you base your purchase decision on an award won at the VGAs: they win.

    Quoting wikipedia: "the award nominees and winners are voted by an advisory council, featuring 25 journalists from various media outlets. Fans, however, can vote online for which games they think should win each category."

    I was not aware of this at all actually 8| /Ignorance much on my side I thought these were voted on by the public!? Why is the public allowed to vote in the first place if it doen't matter 8|

    Usually I don't disagree much with the GOTY award, I think it's somewhat accurate but usually any on the list could've won and it wouldn't have made much of a difference since it's all top games in the list. This year is different though, and the outcome is very weird imo... I haven't tried it, just heard the buzz around it not being all that spectacular, hence my question

    Yeah wtf is up with that? Definitely was the weakest in the list. I can't believe it wtf 8|

    Is it really worth getting then? I was under the impression it was just a "meh" game?

    Also made them studio of the year, which is total bullcrap. No offense to the people involved but the other studios pushed tech/gameplay whatever way more... Very undeserved imo.
