    Another one of my favorite movies:

    You trying to make it difficult by posting a stamp?

    That's The Thing :P

    This one is easy but is the first thing I could think of

    Edit: let's try this

    Yeah @Puddy, Vive just came out and "there's no software" for it… not that I know anything special but they can't be thinking of updating the visor before than at least one year!

    I guess that with lower volumes of products they could very well introduce small updates to mostly correct design flaws, but a proper 2nd gen must be at least one year away.

    Personally I would get it only for development reasons, I haven't seen any killer app yet.

    It must come with snap map. Boy can you imagine?

    But would be great to then have some more liberty to customise and make more uniquely themed maps.

    It's the kind of clunky thing that is difficult to maintain. Forget to tick a visgroup (or the clip was in the wrong visgroup) and it's gone.

    Why spending resources now when they might be busy thinking of a better system in the new engine to which they might be in the process of porting the game?

    After a month in which I only had 6 days off, I had a full week off and spent the weekend in beautiful Wales, Pembrokeshire with my babes. We went coasteering as highlight of the trip Saturday afternoon, did some walks, took lots of selfies… making me feel ten years younger ?

    Well CS Source was disappointing for pros, but with hard work and collab with the pros they made CSGO as good as it comes (I personally think it's even worse but I'm no one).

    I can't see why they couldn't do it for a porting. They might not call it GO and pass it as a new version? Or rebrand it?

    Also the game wasn't even developed by Valve but Hidden Path, are they still on board? Cos I never heard otherwise.

    Funny enough, I did write this 4 months ago when everyone was expecting Nintendo to come out with an AAA console:

    Sounds like a horde mode? Great to me! While doing trials I was thinking there should be something like this in the full game. I would say the game should have been released with 3 maps where to play horde, solo as a base, eventually co-op. They are such good modes to warm up or quickly unwind if you don't have time for a proper session, or you are missing a good internet connection.

    I need to try your creation as soon as I finish the campaign.

    I haven't tried the editor but I like the game so much I plan on trying it, and was actually going to try something like this, good there is already interest :)

  • Is it possible to get work VISA without experience in game industry?

    • blackdog
    • July 28, 2016 at 10:03 PM

    I remember reading an article about Canada's ministry of immigration touring Silicon Valley a year and a half ago, putting up banners across streets saying "the immigrants are welcome in Canada" (I think was a moment a lot immigrants were being negated new Visas).

    What is coming in terms of new president is quite scary in these sense as well.

    The guys at Digital Foundry have attempted a performance test of the Neo console as looks like it will sport an under-clocked Polaris GPU (the newly released RX480).

    It doesn't look good for the PS to support 4K gaming! Actually it can't keep up with these many pixels :( best resolution to maintain performances would be 1440/1800p.

    I would expect these test can't be completely true as being a PC equivalent, they are incurring in the Windows and drivers overhead. But how much better can it do? The guy says that Sony is talking upscaling techniques with devs
