Kaftan Barlast Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 The KoTOR series are pretty linear so it would take a lot longer.

Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah well it could be done faster since they only count the main quest
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I think I could go for the slow record, I finished K1 in just a few minutes below 70hours where it was calculated to ave a playing time of around 20 DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Rosbjerg Posted May 6, 2005 Author Posted May 6, 2005 of course that happens so fast that you are dead (and ripped apart atom by atom) before you even notice it .. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... but it would feel like forever as time would elongate to infinity for you as you approached the point of singularity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> remind me never to be swallowed by a black hole .. Fortune favors the bald.
Darth Flatus Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Hmm.. now if someone would be smart enough to harness the power of a black hole, miniaturise and lessen it somewhat and then incorporate it into a Real Doll. that would be a bestseller!!
Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Witcher trailer Wow it really looks great ...way better than any other Aurora game :D
kirottu Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Wow it really looks great ...way better than any other Aurora game :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well yeah, but that This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah... you're right :"> Tho CD Project seem to have done a great job with the engine
kirottu Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah. Considered it This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
taks Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 it's fully 3-D... you just can't control your character along the z-axis. he does move along the z-axis, however... taks comrade taks... just because.
Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 it's fully 3-D... you just can't control your character along the z-axis. he does move along the z-axis, however...taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well K2 uses the Odyssey engine which is based on the Aurora engine and you can move on both axes And for the thread: I'm whatching ep 1 on TV and it's boring as hell...at least I still have peanuts
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 It looks like it has retained the awkward clunkiness of the Aurora engine. When you're used to FPS like engines, that one just feels like your in a traffic jam, stuttering DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

I just wanted to comment on a few of the points touched on here. In the 'biz' as I like to call it, there is a strange beast called the 2 1/2D (two and an half D) game engine. This type of game engine is RENDERED and LOOKS 3D, but there is no actual data representation for 3 dimensions in the engine. Doom 1 and 2 as well as NWN1 are some of the most famous examples of this type of game engine. Though any '3D' game where you do NOT have things like 'over passes' with actual creatures underneath is the same type of engine. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are both 2.5D games. Despite what some people may think, this is NOT an easy addition to make to a pre-existing game engine. In fact, it reminds me of a software engineering interview question I had once: Question: Company 'A' has made a word processor application. One of the features it currently has is 'Undo'. Marketing Person now wants you to add 'Multiple Level Undo' to the application. How would you go about this? (Now there are MANY answers to this question, but only ONE 100% correct answer) Answer: If the application was NOT designed to have 'Multiple Level Undo' in it from the beginning, you can't safely add it in later. It is a feature that MUST be planned for and added in at the beginning of the project. Adding it in later will require MASSIVE amounts of re-writing and re-architechting and usually end up being incredibly expensive. I hope that clarifies this subject somewhat for everyone.

213374U Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 *snip* And the answer is... both of you are correct! the mythical Z axis Remember, Doom 1 and KOTOR look 3D, but they are not actually 3D. Actually, I think a better way to say this is that their rendering engines are 100% 3D. They look 3D because their graphical representation is true 3D. However, portions of their internal game logic operate only in 2D. Hence the term 2.5D. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Gorth Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 The number of the Antichrist is not 666 but 616, according to a fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, discovered in Egypt. Where was that number mentioned in the bible the first time ? Just curious, because if it was the number written by John, it might have been written in Roman numerals, DCLXCI. Perhaps he just got an L too much in there. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
