Perfection. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you sir/madam!

Does the game by default not show the map on the HUD? If so, that’s pretty sweet.
AC HUD’s (from what I can remember), had way too much stuff on the HUD. This looks to be the simplest one yet.

Feedback.

You weren’t the only one tearing up, Ansel. Can’t wait.

Finally.

These “exclusives” were thrown around so much during the Xbox conference, my girlfriend had to ask everytime it came up what it truly meant. Sometimes, I simply didn’t have an answer.

G: “Does this mean I can play this on PC too, or maybe your PS4?”
Me: “Umm I think??... this seems like a new type of exclusive... let…

I’m still not convinced to buy this machine. It’s great looking, has the power, but none of the games scream “this console is worth your money”. Unless there are games that are exclusive to it, what reason do (3rd party) devs have to optimize their games for this machine?

Looks incredible but the gameplay shown was lacking. Just flying and running around. Would love to learn more about the gameplay features that makes this unique. I assume many of those features aren’t polished yet or they’re not ready to share.

I too would love why it took so long to patch this despite widespread knowledge.

Another reason I dropped The Division months after release; Massive was so poor at listening to the community.

I’m hoping for an Assassin’s Creed 1 to Assassin’s Creed 2 kind of jump. AC1 played fine, but was repetitive. With 2 they didn’t reinvent the wheel and because of that they could focus on story and gameplay since the tech was already there.

I guarantee there will be a “Sherpa” clan that its only objective is to help people on hard content. The Destiny community has its share of hot heads but there are plenty of us who are willing to help new people experience hard content without us breathing down your neck.

I’m intrigued to see what people thought a sequel to Destiny should have been. It was always going to play and sound like Destiny, otherwise it wouldn’t be a sequel. I’ve heard some wanted the game to go full MMO, which isn’t Destiny in the sense that anyone could pick up and play without being bogged down by so many…

YES! Buying this ASAP.

What have your experiences been?

With an ending like Halo: Reach. Keep fighting waves and waves of the darkness until you die. With no way to survive the Collapse.

I dig it.

Sounds like a Bioware game decision that has repercussions for the sequel.

I think its important to recognize that this doesn’t objectively mean that the current Bungie is “bad”, just different. All studios have older staff that change or move on at some point in their lifetime, and not all studios are as old as Bungie (26 years this May).

Can’t wait to dab in WWII with a rainbow camo MP-40.

Never underestimate the power of Mario.

Thanks. Culling is another of the long list of techniques we use to maximize what can be rendered on screen at once.

As Splatton said below (above?), mipmapping is referring to texturing and the reduction of detail in it. I don’t know much about the process, since it’s not a part of my day to day work.
