    Dishonored

    Finished it 4 times now. I can now do time attack runs in 3-4 hours tops (which fwiw, you actually need to go to get some of the achievements like shadow and ghost)
  2. Just picked up Mark of the Ninja yesterday. An excellent, truly great game. Very well refined mechanics, so much better than their first opus. Get it now
  3. So Square Enix just announced the next Hitman game will be made in Montreal.....you guys moving on to a new thing in Copenhagen?

    Crysis 3

    World class art meets great tech meets dudebro fest storytelling. Also, a LOT of it is straight out of C2 (anims, hud, some weapons and their sounds, ledge grab) Great showcase for the tech, once again.
  5. Glad to see you're finally able to show all your great work since we last saw each other That's truly magnificent work from you guys down in POA

    GTA V

    Haven't felt as psyched about GTA since Vice City. Truly love the sarcastic humor and true hollywood action movie style they went for. I'm going to spend so much time playing this.
  7. Welcome to Mapcore! Feel free to apply at Irrational Games (our recruiter is a member of Mapcore, fcherbak) as we are currently looking for environment artists.
  8. Good to hear from you guys James and Lee Don't be strangers again
  9. Andrew, I already extended my help to you personally, but if anyone you know who is affected is interested in Irrational Games, please send them my way.
  10. Only got yourself to thank mate, all HP and I did was push the door open so you'd fit in better
  11. I've just finished adding every portfolio I could find online with a basic name search. If yours is still missing, please contact me
  12. With the recent move to the new database, a lot of info from the list has disappeared. Anyone wanting their portfolio back up on the list, please send me a PM with the info required.

    Politics forum?

    Never gonna happen.
  14. Salut Marc La forme avec la petite famille a Paris?
  15. Every (good) recruiter I've talked to have always refuted the "CV should be 1 page" rule. And designers should know this, the proper length of your resume is when taking something away clearly undermines you.
  16. Hey Carlos, thanks for stopping by I haven't tried BMS yet, I'm swamped in (crunch time) work, but I'm keeping a warm seat for it for the upcoming winter Can't wait to play Half life again
  17. They are entirely the same. What's expected is a clear drive to get better, buckle down and do all the work requested, and follow directions.
  18. Mixed skillsets are a good thing, as long as you are proficient in this mix. It increases your chances to get an offer for one of your skills of course. If you're looking for 2d art positions, I'd honestly look into the mobile and browser market for offers in Europe, before jumping across the pond. You will absolutely need a portfolio though. Testers don't have them, but breaking out of QA is often a perilous adventure (yes, it's a highway for a lot of people, but guess what, crashes happen) With the skillset you seem to have (you have made games before), a 2d artist portfolio shouldn't be too hard to put together. Guys like Gameloft should scoop you up in a heartbeat with a good portfolio. And once you're in a company like that (I really have no idea how they run their shop) you could look into internal transfers to new locations around the world. Just give it a go, post a portfolio in our portfolio section and see where our feedback takes you.

    Breaking Bad

    To the contrary, I feel pity for him. He's blinded by his illusions of grandeur, partly disguised as greed, and can't see the huge brick wall he's running towards. The series just turned to the instant classic villain confronting the time he should know better and get out of the game.
  20. Never ever make the recipient of your application have to ask for more details. The drop out rate is enormous. More is better.
  21. Sorry for all the bad news around ESE guys, and welcome to the new Mapcorians (It took me a while to get to this update, sorry about that. Feel free to edit the thread too )

    OnLive

    I totally saw the acquisition by a third party coming. Gaikai was the most successful at getting to that stage, and that was always the end game for all these cloud gaming companies. They don't have anything substantial to keep on going as single entities, they're just tech providers with limited added value from a commercial perspective. So every single one of them will get bought or perish. Now that Sony has Gaikai, Onlive was going to get picked up. I suspect the clean slate is only part of the acquisition process as the interested party had no interest in keeping the employees around.
  23. Picked up Walking Dead and Saints Row The Third (community vote makes it 75% off at 8 bucks for the next 7 hours)
