woah Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Those Doom 3 outdoor environments look awesome, yet I am curious as to how they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtvan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 @spar - it's quite common that parachutes have holes in them I heard that military parachutes have holes designed to drop faster than civilian ones. Basically they just slow you down enough so that you don't break your legs if you know how to land right. If you came down at a nice leisurely pace, you'd be more likely to get shot in the air.

It's also for stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstoppable Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 It's also for stability. You know I thought this game was vaporeware. Boy good thing I never said it would be. Way for them to pull through. They deserve all the credit in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unstoppable Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'm real happy for Irrational game. For a second thereI thought this game was vaporeware since they didn't have a publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gildoran Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 To me it looks more like they've been bloomed to death... just out of curiosity, why do people always mention bloom and HDR together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arumakani Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Does look a bit like Prince of Persia Bloom style effects. Probably touched up though. I doubt a spooky game would be this bright. Quote ZylonBane's confession about himself: "What can I say, I'm a jerk. A three times all American Jerk, from Jerksville, Kentucky.

Mr Mike Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Had my eye on this for a long time and I gotta say the art directing is looking freakishly good. I find it utterly mesmerizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ones responsible for Deus Ex's greatness This desperately needs to be the next coming of a truly excellent action FPSRPG ala System Shock 2, Vampire Bloodlines, etc... Apparently there is interactive relationships between the NPC's, called the splicer (crazy scarecrow lady with a pair of hand-scythes), and a paired relationship called little sister/Big Daddy Quote Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

Arumakani Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Have you ever played any of the KOTOR games? They're really good. If you have an XBox360 then watch out for Mass Effect by the same folk. They did Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR 1. The only sort of less then excellent game they've done is Jade Empire.

Crispy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 As soon as we get the video from 2K Games, we'll post this IGN exclusive at our regular posting time, about 6:30 pm, on Wednesday, September 20. Stay tuned.It's past 6:30pm Wednesday already in my time zone, where's my video???! US-centric bastards. I don't even know what timezone they're in (I guess US Eastern? maybe???), so I can't do the conversion. I hate it when they do that. It's like when they do the seasons thing: "Coming this Spring!" Oy, which spring? Okay, so they don't want to give a specific month - no worries, just substitute "Coming late 2006" or "Coming Q3 2006". Then everyone wins, ya? (Thankfully you can usually tell pretty easily, because only Americans are self-centred enough to distribute videos around the world that contain hemisphere-specific dates.)

ZylonBane Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 The video is up. It is nifty. However, Ken has mentioned that it's of the E3 build, so it's quite out of date now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadrosaul Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It was mentioned that they are using the latest build of the engine for IGN's video, Available here Oooh Security camera's Quote Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

Crispy Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Man, IGN's streaming sucks. Play for 10 seconds, pause for 15 seconds. Play for 10 seconds, pause for 15 seconds. Is it too much to ask to buffer the whole thing before starting to play it? And if you pause it manually to allow it time to buffer, it stops buffering. It's worse than Windows Media Player, and that's saying something! And then they insist on showing me unskippable high-resolution ad videos before letting me do anything; stream, download, anything. I don't mind the occasional image or text ad, but STOP WASTING MY BANDWIDTH. Can't find it anywhere else though. :/ Sigh. Currently my speakers are turned off and the bandwidth-munching advertisement is playing in the other tab while I wait for it to let me download. I hate IGN.
