Duck and Cover

I don't quite understand how some people can pass judgement on the story/start of the game based on John's description. He merely gave a, "You see this, then this happens, then you do this, then this, then this happens." type description. He didn't go into any detail on the setup, imagery,...

This was only for the techdemo, the characters were just inserted with a pic editor, the models looked better than that, although they aren`t bad. Nope, they're placed on the level and animate. As for the lack of shadows, whoever released the pic had their shadow setting set to off. There are 3 mod...

So the rabbit died, huh?

Haha, just kidding. Congrats!

For reasons of his own that I won't repeat.

Briareus, in identical systems, ATI cards generally outperform equivalent (and often supposedly superior!)) nVidia boards. o rly . Sure, ATI wins these, but by only a few frames. I'd give up those extra frames for stability and utility any day of the week. EDIT: One other thing I wanted to mention ...

ATI totally own Nvidia. My friend has an FX 5200 I think, and my Radeon 8500 is owning it. Yes, because it's all in the card. Hard drive (speed/cache), Mobo (brand/amd/intel), ram (speed/amount), 3rd party drivers/applications running wouldn't have anything to do with it? (that was sarcasm) I don't...

Nice draw distance. I wonder what the framerate is and what the system specs are for these shots.

Dude, my game is SO gonna kick your game's ass! ;)

You can't deny Interplay (which knew there were a lot of FO fans out there that have been waiting for years for FO3) We did? Sorry, but all I knew was that there were 2 or 3 fan sites out there still plugging away to the same people it always had. And what the execs knew was never made apparent to ...

Seriously, dude, you've got to pull the tinfoil hat all the way down over your ears. THAT'S HOW THEY GET CONTROL OF YOU!! :lol:

Devs probably don't care much about forum politics, if they see a good idea posted by someone who hates the game they'd probably use it regardless. Very true for most devs I'd think. On the other hand you bitching about us moaning might make people ignore you? Do you care? LOL! I don't think anyone...

But look what happened with Star Wars? Ask any SW fan, and you'll see that most hate the new films. If you factor in that he never allowed anyone to mess around with what happened prior to Episode 4, whatever George Lucas wrote was official canon. If FOBOS took place during a period which wasn't sp...

Imagine for a moment if Nintendo created a new Zelda game, except this time the characters included elves with DD breasts, characters with dark complexions with fat lips who speak in stereotypical tones, changes most of the game universe, and the marketing pushed the game as "Link finally is g...

My question is, how exactly would you implement such a combo system with the real-time combat? Even if you have a decent interface, you're still getting shot at while making your attacks. Well, it is RT with Pause, so you could always pause the game and select your attack. As for getting shot, with...

What does not doing an interview have to do with finding a constructive post on the boards? in effect showing he had no intentions whatsoever of dealing with the evil, mean, Fallout fans. You guys went as far as posting his phone extension and had people call and harass him IIRC, his number was alr...

Now, I ask you - if you're a game developer with deadlines to meet and reading the boards isn't part of your job, how long would you expect the average reasonable developer to sift through all the tripe that is/was on the boards in order to find a good idea? I might agree with you, had Cuevas not t...

I'd say that just about everybody could agree on why exactly they hated FOBOS. Mr. Cuevas decided to ignore our advice to make the game not shit. Thanks, but I don't think anyone needs the obvious pointed out to them. I will agree that a few folks went over the line in their flaming of the game, bu...

Briareus, bitching is a natural reaction to powerlessness. I highly doubt anyone would be bitching if our input was desired, and acted upon. I was merely making an observation. No malice intended. As for acting upon your desires, it is quite impossible for us to do so when you (not you the individu...

No. Not only do I not worry about things that don't concern me, I also do not worry about things that are beyond my control.

You guys sure can wax on and on about a game you're not going to buy.
