Lol. True true, I get called a HL2 fanboy on a D3 forum I frequent from time to time.
Gamera is wrong about outside rendering capabilities of the D3 engine mind you., Sure you have to keep the lighting simple but that's easy enough with the one big lightsource (I'm told it's the sun, but I...
WTF?!? Twix is like a alpha to snickers. They never intended that bar to be in there, they said it would be really big, but instead they split it into two pieces and man it sucks.
Ok, I think I must be tired. I'm babbling.
I'm aware of that thanks. I've been mapping for a number of years and I know how portals etc work. I'll simply say that D3 does huge open areas fine as long as you keep the lighting simple. As far as modding goes I think it's a question of what you want, it would be perfect for NS UT or...
This peculiar chap speaketh the seneseth. Do I care if it's scripted? No not so much, first time through it'll be dreamy anyway and I don't tend to play SP games more than once unless they're exceptionally amazing.
As long as the AI thinks to dodge and maybe take cover I'll be happy with it.
:rolleyes: Aah the old 'x game Vs Y game' debate eh? They never get old. ;)
It's a nice change not to see this one devolve into a slanging match though so what the hell, I'll dive in..
To clear up a few common misconceptions about D3 -
D3 multiplayer is only 4 people - Not true. The...
Well that's not strictly true. It didn't have immersible water because of the difficulties of getting the lighting and refraction to match up with the rest of the engine. Also they felt they didn't need it frankly seeing as the game was set on Mars, not known for its vast bodies of water...
And you have one hairy ass.
I'm told. :o
I agree though, it hardly seems feasbile that it would be in the state of what I've seen of the beta (admittedly not much) even if it weren't ready.
The beta just doesn't seem to match up even in terms of looks with what we've seen officially...
And the real question Oakey is 'So what?' Well DUH the sequences were scripted, well DUH the levels are linear. That's because they are, as the names suggest, levels intended to be part of a non interactive, controlled demonstration of the game. Just like making assumptions about D3 from the...
Balls they lied, there's not one shred of evidence to suggest it, you weirdoes with your insane conspiracy theories need to get out more. You really do.
As for 'without us there would be no Valve' well this is true to an extent, but we're here because of the original fine fine game. I'm...
Lol! I don't think it's THAT serious. It's not going to delay me until April anyway. Yes folks, I'm available right now, just mail me at... No, that's probably not a good idea.. I could be haxxored or something.
It takes two to tango. Although I guess you may not know that yet.
Fundamentally no network is ever completely secure, and no matter what people may think it is in no way unusual for people to have source code and in development work on a pc attached to the internet. You just have to hope...
Well blow me how had no one noticed this before.
Errr. I assume this is a lighthearted joke because you're beginning to despair of all this leak talk right?
I empathise with Mr Redundant on most levels. Hell I've started and stopped the beta torrent a couple of times now but frankly I'm sck of this whole thing.
I just wish the hacker would piss off and ideally be caught, preferrably by some rabid fans as I suspect the law wouldn't be a concern...
Yeah except Vivendi are obliged to give truthful and as accurate information as possible regarding the serious revenue streams in briefings like that and it's clearly not just a rogue report because it's being covered by most major news groups.
I'm pretty sure Vivendi will have been in close...
