TDM Is The Now And The Future

[Bikerdude]

That's the weird thing about level design, it's drummed into your head that but sometimes a haphazard approach to building ends up with a more rewarding outcome. Similar to how old cities are often more visually appealing as they seemed to almost come to life naturally before proper city planning largely replaced this kind of situation.

Exactly.

 

LOL...Yeah very pretty on the eye but someone has to go around afterwards to makesure the performance dont drop through the floor...

Yep.

Greebo needs to add a "Bikerdude-ize" feature to Dark Radiant

[jdude]

I think we're going to see an Assassin's Creed-esque remake of Thief. Poor franchise

[Aprilsister]

Perhaps a Bikerdude-esque Assassin's Creed-ized version featuring triple-buffered pansexuality?

[jdude]

LOL is pansexual your word of the day?

[Aprilsister]

Ah, "pansexuality"... It is my buzzword of the week! 7 times the import you have suggested!

 

I'm just continuing to be obnoxious

 

Though I do think that narrow Identity Politics can be a serious problem, in this case I was having a bit of fun, not taking it anymore seriously than it deserved to be but also not intending to seriously bug anyone. Tis silly twas silly.

Holy shit! I'm confused I thought DX and Thief were owned by the same corporation, but if not this is still big news on the failure of Square Enix, Dues Ex developer (A game I know most of us loved).

square enix own eidos

[jdude]

So they aren't looking so good This is horrible financially if Dues Ex3 fails I think they'll go bankrupt. No surprise though given the fans reaction to previous releases.

[Aprilsister]

I read it as they've done the right thing -- delaying Deus Ex so as to make sure it is "polished" - and it is could actually be interpreted as a sign of financial strength because they are willing to put off immediately strong reports and move/delay it until next "year". If they were on the brink they would more likely push the thing out now, pack their golden parachutes with the insta-cash and bail...

[Aprilsister]

...BTW, I want someone to look at say "HDR_103v_3.jpg" or "HDR_103v_9.jpg" from the new HDR screenshots at moddb and remind me about the use of DromEding?

[lost_soul]

Bah... another game being pushed back??? It is bad enough we have to wait until September for Rage and possibly the Doom 3 source code! At least Duke Nukem should come out in February (no really!).

I disagree I think their in a horrible financial situation and realize that if this game gets bad reviews their done for.

 

But we will never know because non of us work there

[Aprilsister]

Well everyone is in a horrible financial situation really, but the fact that they're investing in more development (and delaying profit) instead of putting shit to market and bailing speaks rather to the optimistic side of things...

 

And believe me I am NOT optimistic about the economy as the I am SURE that the system that it is based on is collapsing (and good riddance, as long as we keep our heads and steer clear of the lateral barbarism those at the top would love to guide us into); I'm just analyzing these guys and what they apparently are up to. The folks who control things, those idlers at the top, are not going to risk a penny if it's time to bail.

You might consider the possibility of adjusting the basis of what things make you "sure" of something

[Aprilsister]

Sure.
