If you wanna talk ‘Joy of Movement’ you really need to have Prototype on that list.

There’s a real simple way of making sonic work in 3D. Start with the movement controls of Prototype, especially the game’s auto action for hurtling obstacles, and the add in an e-brake equivalent like grabbing the ground to make drift turns at speed.

I’m not making an argument for expendable talent, I’m saying these are the norms within game development that are going to have to be overcome to institute the unionization that the practice so desperately needs. I certainly could have used it before I burnt out.

Comparatively dude. COMPARATIVELY. If you’re glong to assemble planes or remove organs you need some serious training. Comparatively all that games needs for a number of the disciplines can be found on message boards.

Part of the reason why they haven’t is that a large number of developers are self-driven, technically-minded problem solvers. That sort of mechanical thinking lends itself toward self reliance fantasies or libertarianism. When I was still in dev you’d occasionally hear someone mumble about unionizing during a bad…

Just reminds me that Mega Man Legends is never coming back...

I was in a Macy’s the other day that had a full service cocktail bar in it. I had an incredibly well made old fashioned and then wandered over to the Microsoft store to try out the Vive. It was a good day.

Ten? More like ten score and seven readers or more.

wow, that double xp comic got a good laugh out of me.

le’heart The Rundown!

I knew the rough arc of the rest of the review when I read “Joule Adams” and “New Eden”. That level of subtlety suggests that while they understand thematic links, they don’t have the development arms to reach any further than low hanging fruit.

Oh man, I get to just viciously crush a very good friend’s hopes and dreams thanks to you. Watching his face fall is going to be exquisite!

I may be missing something, but isn’t Persona 5 due out on the 15th?

So there’s the old breath trick, which while some debate it, back lighting, camera positioning, whatever. It’s bunk. The thing expels air when it makes noise and the body it has functioning organs and heat. Go back and watch Bennings just before he goes up in flames. That oh so perfect monster howl is absolutely…

I was asking the question of ‘well what is the game about?’ since the first trailers came out. My friends said ‘anything you want!’. I replied by listing the things the trailer displayed:

Now I’m not saying this is science, but detective duo Robert Downey Jr and gay Val Kilmer have some thoughts on the matter:

I wouldn’t say ‘clearly’. It was a bowl, a very large one, and not exactly the same shape as the Lord Vessel had. Also bowl imagry and callbacks to the Lord Vessel are a dime a dozen in DS3, so while it might evoke it, it’s very likely not the actual, historical Lord Vessel.

Yet more evidence that chasing your own style, and not agonizing over achieving a look that isn’t in line with either your skills or natural inclination, is the way to go.
