First off, it's Valve . The only gaming company that is more true to their fans is blizzard. I mean they give tours on request ( occasionally), and I honestly beleive they will not leave us hanging after seeing such an uprising.
Do any of you even remember the PC gamer preview that stated...
As much of a PC fanboy I am, I don't condemn Valve for releasing an XBOX version. The fact is that a Gaming PC is becoming more and more difficult to maintain, purchase, and run when compared to an XBOX. Of course it won't look as good, but it will bring the game to a lot more people, and Valve...
yeah I think if you looked at it, using your hands would require a bit of lag (so that they can get good grip), and that would make it less natural.
Let's face it.
-the hands'll add to the immersion
- it will feel natural to use them
- you'll prolly forget that you can't see them
And if...
A GeForce 4 can do bump mapping.
Nvidia first came out with dot3 bump mapping on the Geforce 3. In fact the XBOX currently uses a Geforce 3.
Its just that a Geforce 3 is slow as Sh*t, and can't run the advanced shaders that are going to be used in games today.
Same thing with the 4...
Considering that HL & HL2 will be modded in C++, VC6/VC.NET is almost necessary.
Modding the Unreal Engine is done using its own proprietary scripting language, but it isn't a too far away from C++. If you've used unrealscript you've already made yourself familiar with the concepts of...
Now that PC doen't have the internet to itself, Mods are the biggest advantage PCs have over console. (I'm a PC fanboy).
Mods are great. Many don't come to fruition or just outright suck, but they expand the definition of a game and give it tremendous replay value. I mean the top two mod...
There's going to be a book coming out about how to mod HL2, and the SDK well be much better documented.
But you'll still have to build a good knowledge base of exactly how games run together.
It won't be wasy but it your dedicated you can do it.
The difference is that Jade has green hair/lips/headband and is made more exagerated.
On another note She also looks like this one hot girl from my former HS.
So you can actually use steam to facilitate an online RPG?
Hmm interesting, because I was thinking of a siimiliar concept.
I was going to store the info on the client, though, but that is a really bad decision. Its open to hacherz and cheats that way. Never really thought of using steam...
I'm already designing a Mod thats partially inspired by elements from gundam. Though I shy to say that is a bona-fide "Gundam" Mod because the focus is on more than what sort of universe it is in. That and I'm trying to be completely original while still holding true to certain gameplay...
Ok thanks for your assurance, but you can definately tell that the market for Console gaming is much smaller than the market for pc gaming.
I really hopw that people exploit the abilties to truly make their rigs one of a kind even further. Be it with software mods, caselights, etc.
I think...
No I am not talkng about the consoles that are built as pcs to lpay PC games (Like Phantom, but there are some others). If anything those bring PC games to the more common man and expand the market.
I'm talking about XBOX Next, PS3, and Nintendo's unnanounced Next-gen system.
These...
