Morgoth Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 SED (David Hoffman) tweet teases about two projects Square Enix projects announced soon. The article speculates that one of them could be a DSIII DLC but its really too vague a tweet to say anything http://www.siliconera.com/2011/07/31/squar...s-two-projects/ So, Dave Hoffman spearheaded Supreme Commander 2 and DSIII. Both games which horribly failed. Why is that guy still working at SE? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2B Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Euclideon. The guys behind that "Unlimited Detail" thing from last year are back with a presentation video. Either they are just incredibly dedicated to a fake or there is actually something behind it. No idea myself, though I doubt it hard.

Morgoth Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not sure if serious. You have to convert that data to quads/triangles anyway, because that's the way the GPU processes the data. Meaning no 1:1 conversion, hence bull****. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyDogMeat Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Brissy Company Creates Astonishing New Graphics Tech I have doubt about it's true uses, but interesting. Somebody posted a video about them a few months ago. It sounds fantastic but until an actual game is produced using this new system I'm a bit skeptical.

WorstUsernameEver Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'll be convinced when they will at least be able to show the tech live to someone that can attest "yeah, it works". It doesn't help that it sounds like their understanding of 3D graphics comes from Wikipedia and that the presentation is very very very very very badly done.

Gorth Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sounds like they reinvented "Eidolon" and "Rescue on Fractalus" (obscure references with meanings hidden for anybody but true geeks) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowScythe Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It doesn't help that it sounds like their understanding of 3D graphics comes from Wikipedia and that the presentation is very very very very very badly done. They could just be dumbing down their explanations so that people will understand it on some superficial level. I like how it looks but like others, I'm skeptical/indifferent until we get some actual games on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshape Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's ****e. Graphics wise absolutely, however the physics were pretty good. I wasn't on about the graphics, I do find it amusing that you'd find that impressive. Oh well I won't argue with you, I know that what I've seen is basic. In the same way people have lauded BF:BC 2's destruction, I'll just shake my head. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology.

I wasn't on about the graphics, I do find it amusing that you'd find that impressive. Not sure why. If your not familiar with the developer then you should know Cryptic Sea made some really interesting bridge building games. Better psychic could really improve them, assuming they'll ever get released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm not going to stare at a tree trunk for 5 minutes now. Isn't that basically the same as voxels, or "pixols" they use in ZBrush? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylord Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 the news on Diablo 3 stinks. I bought almost half a dozen copies of D2. I'll buy a copy of D3, but that's probably all I'll buy. Right now it seems sort of like a kick to the groin for all the Blizzard fans out there in relation to the always on internet in order to simply play SP. Or, for the first time I'm actually considering perhaps simply NOT buying and waiting for a pirated version...even though in the past I've felt that's morally wrong. Ironic that their "protection" would even make me consider such an action. I'm pretty furious. I'll probably just buy the legit version, one time only...but I'm still peeved, and I'm thinking this will do more to encourage piracy than any other game out yet due to this ridiculous move.

I think the pirate-crews will possibly be pretty happy - seems like they really dig challenges. If you're peeved about their system, why buy a copy at all? Better to send a statement not giving them your money at all. I know I ain't gonna. I'll take Hard Reset instead Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Morgoth Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Actually, I'm not too worried about the "always-online" policy. I'm more worried about whether the game will be as good as D2 was back in 2000. There will be a Beta soon I think and hopefully I get into it this time. Rain makes everything better.
