At the Game Developers Conference today, Activision technical director Jorge Jimenez has revealed their photorealistic next-gen engine.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
well, with all that money they made, they better get to it, before battlefield kills it
For some reason I cant get over how creepy next gen faces look(to me)....As impressive as they are theyre so freaky looking. Even if they show some kindve emotion. Its especially hard when the pictures are med-large sized and I have my fingers across my eyes. Im excited for next gen but I gotta get rid of my fear. :/
Amazing. Actors start looking for a real job.
Personally I think it looks great but there is still a certain amount of glassiness to the eyes here and there. To be fair though the detail is insane and looks great from a distance (well looks great at all angles, just some are more 'fake' than others) and is always hardest to get right no matter the medium. The video (don't remember where I saw it) looked better although it also highlighted flaws like they usually do (eyes again being main issue). The video wasn't quite as impressive as some of the other tech demos due to less realistic animation but they might had been intentionally exaggerating it at times to show wider range of motion (which would be great for non-human characters in other games).
I love all the tech and gameplay videos we've seen so far though as just looks fantastic and a significant boost from this generation all around (and in many cases better than what we've seen on PC which only makes sense--half of it is running on PC but designed with next gen in mind so ups the ante compared to games of today).
This next year and onwards should just be great all around for console and PC gamers both especially since the architecture is more familiar for all platforms (according to rumors for Xbox naturally) and probably easier to port to PC (easy=less money to do it) so we might see even more new games than we did this generation.
I can't wait for new consoles to be released although there's still quite a few games between now and then to hold me over. Plus a backlog that's only growing longer as time goes by.
Looks great.
