The vid isn't selling it no, but why does these tools need to be "fantastic" when people are still using Maya and Max to create video game assets lmao.

Well, I'm no expert but the tool shown doesn't seem –to me– to be used for making game assets, not in the form you mean. It seems to work on some kind of instance of an archetype, so maybe you are still creating the window frame with all the details you want, but in such a way the tool understands how to break it down and mold it?

Looks beautiful, keep us posted about release (you seem pretty far in the development).

Yeah, how funny is that? I bet there's people using Steam and owner of an Xbox that is happy about this, but wasn't about the Microsoft idea.

This is nice, so I don't have to give my password anymore to my friends.

What a pity MS, you knew this was going to happen after the Internet revolted on you.

Woa, that stuff with Houdini is really impressive. And it's not completely procedural, is a hybrid, so there's really much more value.

I sometimes think about my "definitive sandbox game", and so how could/should an engine/tool work to speed up production and allow new things for gameplay. I dunno if anything i imagine is possible, but this walkthrough shows stuff that in some aspects definitely go beyond what I ever imagined.

PS: also the Bohemia tools are very very smooth, I never happened to stumble on those. Frak!

I was just following my original design, which was following the old CS mapping styles. The really boxy pillar cover pieces might not be needed as much these days; plus it looks odd.

Yeah, i'd get rid of those... i can't remember seeing anything looking like that in my roamings. I think the facade is too secluded, while on the sides it could work. Just change the top part to be covered by the roof.Imo.

It would be very cool if someone could model for you some Carabinieri car/van to replace the military APCs.

lol @ Gmaps that obfuscated the murales

Good job guys, it would have been nice with a few more players, especially for JP's map that is quite large.

I enjoyed both maps btw.

Very easy map to learn, thanks to its size, and i think it plays well because of that too. That imo is good because you can safely enlarge it a bit to make space for the modifications you need to make it better.

I pretty much second what JP wrote.

I guess it's not build with a high level of competition in mind so because of its compactness it could gain some favors when you dress it up nicely.

4. The far left flank into the left bombsite is via some stairs that only serve to put T's at a huge disadvantage because of the weird sightlines it creates.

Eheh, how many headshots you got there? But yeah, at least Ts need some cover to play that side, but you could experiment with a different layout and see what happens.

Congrats for trying something quite different, the TF2 heritage is quite clear... not that is necessarily a bad thing uh. As I said, I welcome vertical gameplay but there are instances with too many height differences.

I really enjoyed playing on both teams in the top-left and bottom-right areas of the map.

B-site works well already (lovelly sniping nest for Ts up there, even with ARs [Blocked Image: http://library.blackboard.com/ref/3c5e63f9-3950-444f-85f3-1b0d759f084d/content/graphics/ui_icons/chatevilgrinemoticon.png]) but i guess it would benefit some modifications and get, i'd say, more "structured", blocking some areas and maybe even removing one silo/chimney?

Central/A-site is the problematic area of the map, I stayed a bit longer to play to see if I could get my head around it; i'm sorry but it's very confusing, definitely too many sight-lines and in general it's not clear what would be the preferred routes from where enemies will come from. Problem amplified by the dev textures, as suggested by Stranger it could benefit some different colors to help players orientate.

Middle is also way vertical, compared to the space available to move around; you can easily find yourself pointing straight up, which is a bit too extreme of an aim shift, considering all the other spots to check at eye level.

Hope this can be useful.

Watch this and you can spare 60 bucks

Quote from Beck

Yeah the amount of green on the map does kind of worry me. I hated it in GTA: SA when I accidentally flipped my car out in the countryside only to have to walk for ages to find a vehicle.

Impressive scale. And I wonder if they will challenge players to finish it 100% again in a week. Or if they will give more time.

On the problem of wasting the car, I suppose they'll have more traffic for starters... but you can skip to another character and let the AI work for you they didn't talked/showed the use of cellphones, but it was one of the best usability bits of GTA4, if we still can use it, we can call for a taxi when stranded

You mean the nVidia Shield?

ME in real life

I honestly couldn't remember they were all in the back, back then

Played around with the textures some more and added a bit more visual noise to them. I think they look more ground into the environment now , but I'm not sure:

Very nice, as the others said. I too think bottom part a bit too clean.

Btw I noticed the ladder, modeling it like this changes the way players will climb on top, the one here for eg, in the official maps you climb on the side facing the wall as far as I can remember.

But if requested...

I alays welcome more vertical gameplay, but this seems a bit confusing

maybe too many ramps close together? I know the final won't look like this but reminds me of a skate park.

Seen the review yesterday, still interested as the E3 presentation. I thought that was going to be a PS4 game btw, ehrrr... big surprise seeing IGN publish the review.

Cars still pivot on thei center of gravity instead of turning...

the film earns praise from the likes of James Cameron.

The “Titanic” and “Avatar” director told Variety he was “absolutely floored” by Cuarón’s film.

“I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time,”

Oooh, good times.
