    Lulz, haven't played since november(?), maybe september even. Basically have to download the entire game to update it.

    Well, seems too beautiful to be true*... but yeah, the character gallery is a staple of the franchise so it might well be in-engine as there's only the model to be rendered.

    Main thought was "it's not in-game" though


    *Mmh material from Ryse has always been impressive, but I don't remember anything this crispy (as I said, my main concern is: how unaltered these shots are?)

    I think it's not gonna be hard to spot assets used in some map, when this gets a lot of attention. If someone will be that unconscious e-mail and in case contact eg Valve to have it taken down from the Workshop.

    Everyone shall be his own police dog; then it could be considered to tie the use of the contents to a registration process with some verified entity, limiting somewhat a total disregard of etiquette to say the least.

    They also bought a UK company for drones

    Captain obvious here, but open source means distributing the work files is not optional. Make available uncompiled/unexported models, original psds etc., end-users then export to the formats the engine of their choice accepts.

    If the material was created to be used in Source then well, one can provide the ready-to-use asset.

    Other kinds of distribution would make it a royalty-free repository.

    I guess it's possible to use services like GitHub for this kind of thing? Dunno if it's possible to create a "channel" to aggregate contributors, I don't use these things, but it would be the ideal solution as an end-user could then contribute the adapted model for Cryengine for eg.

    Hate Dropbox, plus it's highly impractical for this kind of thing as one user would be forced to sync the whole repository whereas it might just need two models. And it would quickly ramp up to gigabytes of data.

    There are loads of repositories for all sort of media out there, I'm sure there is some ready to use CMS or a plugin that would do the job.

    Anyway, definitely a great initiative!

    Drink when Kate is doing sport activities, when Prince Charles is on screen, when Diana is mentioned… all this sort of silly things.

    You of course end up not really watching a movie this shit, but just commenting and joking

    Quote from killertomato

    CUT

    From the article what I understood is that you preorder the special edition, you get to collect a physical copy in a shop, then you receive the bonus material.So you can play on D1.

    "Keep your pre-order at your favorite retailer and we'll send you these goodies separately"

    Several games in the past have had bonus material in a separate box from the game disc.

    Agree that it's awkward though.

    Does anybody know if consuming alcohol can increase sweating (during the activity)?

    A couple weeks ago I noticed I was sweating more than usual and the night before I had 2-3 glasses of (white) wine.

    Last night I also had several drinks (wine+rum & coke) and I woke up in bed completely wet I had to put a towel in my bed :-|

    Last night was a "it's so bad it's good" movie night:

    I accepted to watch this nonsense if the host found a drinking game related to it… and she did find several.

    And well, there's Camilla Luddington in it for you (you've seen her naked in Californication and she's Tomb Raider).

    Yeah, the Arkham Knight is definitely a render, the other I believe it's in-engine, just curious if it's also in-game.

    My impression or these shots are a tad more crispy than the last ones I posted, which it was said were PS4?

    I wonder if this is PC with hardware anti aliasing or beautified shots.
