when you get to tomwtw's you better keep the apple.

I'll get ya in.

If you want to do a new idiot king as well... have at it.

Fingers crossed.

I'll do the best I can. I'll say wait for E3 first of all, but second I'll post Randy's response from the Gearbox website about this particular video. At E3 we're demoing live, we'll be playing it for an audience with a controller.

??? Did you mean most LD's that are not yet in the industry?

could i get some sort of awesome dinosaur stomping some sort of awesome city?

I love the name, I'm buying two.

IGN has like 8 screens somehow. But they all neat. http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/772/772044/imgs_1.html

I think TomWTW was offering his opinion based on his working on the game in question. Unreal3 = next gen Source = almost next gen

Oops, somehow missed your post earlier about it. Doh! Yeah that's what I figured.

I like typing Wii. It's fun. Wii. Bravo Nintendo, I love you long time. (now gimme Kid Icarus in Smash Bros Wii or I'll stab you.)

It's a weird grouping of cool uses of next gen stuff. It's a series of broken up model pieces with displacement maps on the leaves to give them that super 3d look. On top of that, there's a bunch of leaves modeled off the surface to be actually 3d. Really, it's just damn good art.

Yeah. I can list the people who made the invidual assets if you'd like.

they're real, pulled straight out of the engine. I can vouch personally for the last one as I'm the one that pulled it out of the engine

Mapcore is the worst name for a company ever. Like, Rand McNally is laughing at that name.

Going on 5 years here...

I'll be there in the Gearbox booth. So if you're around come find me and we'll hang or something.

both camps are right. on one hand the movie has some truly neat visuals and there are some crazy messed up deaths that happen. on the other hand the acting and dialogue are laugh out loud hilarious. well worth the price of admission.

Yeah as mojo said we're retooling the front page, actually be seriously awesome. But it's gonna take a bit of love. Thrik- I'd like to talk to you specifically about it if you have time. Aim or Email or something.

Alright. Nothing is really major here, but I figured I would send out an announcement so there isn't a lot of confusion as to the changes that have taken place. Mapcore and General have been renamed to Game Industry and Off topic to better reflect their intended discussion areas. These have always been two fairly well mainted forums, so I don't think this is much of a problem. Classified is going to be going through a bit of a change soon. It is being branched off into two forums in their own category. One forum will be for getting mod work and one will be for professional hiring work. The topics in the Professional hiring forum can only be posted by an approved user (aka someone we approve and know to have industry credentials. If someone posts in there, you know they are legit because we checked their creds. The mod forum will be much more casual and hopefully easier to find people. Political was moved to a new division called "where stupid things live." We all know this to be true. EoT also exists in this division. More things in the future might go here. I hope this helps everyone using Mapcore. -mike

It's on the first Sunday following the first full moon after or on the Vernal Equinox. see? thats ridiculous!

yeah only every ten years or so is my birthday on easter. i've asked tons and tons of people for weeks how easter is decided and no one seems to know.

Visual quality is a smaller factor in engine licensing than you'd think. It really isn't a trump at all. What really matters is the usability of the tools that come with it. Epic has a pretty huge team dedicated to tool management so the editor a slick little package where everything fits nicely into place. I imagine CryTek's stuff is quite a bit less usable and more suited for in house development... hell even Source is like that (.bat file based material creation, YOU FAIL.)
