^^ what he said. when they released the DX:IW demo, they almost immediately released a 'tweak guide' to help with framerates, playability, etc. most of the tweak was 'comment out xbox settings and uncomment pc settings'.
unfortunately, the game had already gone gold, so half the dev team was...
There's a lot of debate about whether the white-gas-mask-wearing guys are aliens or humans working for the combine. In some of the vids they are heard shouting in english, which makes you think they're human...plus they look human.
we'll just have to wait and see.
Yeah, he did. But then I haven't been around much lately and my memory is hazy :rolling:
On topic, I have a friend who knows this guy who works at EB, and...

The World of Warcraft forum is going through the same sort of phase this board went through back in august/september...people going nuts before they slowly realize the game isn't coming out for a while and they eventually calm down. It just made me think of those crazy times when I would check...
but pencilhead, the server doesn't have time to calculate whether or not entities are in the view of the player. That would require it to do some sort of ray-tracing or something that it really doesn't have the time/resources to do.
And we can all thanks ASUS for the openGL hack, they had it...
Not really...in the grand scheme of things games like HL2 and Doom3 can't even hope to compete with the Sims or Enter the Matrix or LotR games...they simply don't have the exposure. Sure, every serious and not-serious gamer will buy HL2, but not the 15 year old girls and the moms and all the...
No...I just mean something different than aliens and crazy science experiments. Imagine this...at the end of HL2, you think you've solved the problem, and the g-man or someone is congradulating you, when suddenly a creature you've never seen appears, grabs you, and there's a flash...you wake up...
I would like to see a drasticly new story. Something completely new, like the earth's time is out of wack, the sun is about or explode, or something else equally ridiculous. I just think a change from Xen creatures and scientists might be good.
i agree. no one calls 3drealms evil for their d.n.f. issues, and they're in blackout mode too. doom3 was delayed until Q1 2004, and no one resents them.
but my point in all this is IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU RESENT VALVE. no one cares. not even valve. cause you're still going to buy the game...
there's no such thing as bad publicity. The only downside to this whole business is people like you are upping your blood pressure and taking years off your lives. Which may actually be a good thing.:dozey:
