This game is actually ridiculously fun already. Would love to see better unit controls, but in itself the world building is fun, and the multiplayer is equally good. Has A LOT going for it, it just needs more content and it'll be a great entry into the genre.
If this was the week of the X1 reveal and the first time people had their hands on the console I could believe it. But tons of people have played on it. Hell even I have and neither anyone else nor I noticed this horrible lag.
Hopefully culminating in the eventual 1:1 Titan cock pit, much like people would build for Flight Simulator.
Just wanna point out something here. You have all completely lost what it means to play video games. You can all keep counting your pixels, meanwhile I'll beat the hell out of a ice alien as a werewolf. Or repel a barbarian invasion on Rome. Concept and game play trump all.
I'd say this part I'm excited about, but they really haven't shown much of the story whatsoever. Sure a few bits here and there but in general they need like a sizzle reel in the same vein of what Game of Thrones had. Some kind of trailer that makes you WANT to find out what happens.
Since when? I haven't paid 60$ since i got my account. Look into any website and they're selling it for cheap. Then again why am I alerting someone who clearly have an Xbox nor ever will this? Oh well maybe you can find discounts on those sites for PS+ now that it's mandatory for multiplayer.
@BallsEye
Yeah! I wanna personally know how many polys are in his face to correspond to the sheer ridiculous number of joints he has. I've been getting into rigging as of late and I would LOVE to see what kind of set up they have on him. The most fascinating part to me is when they said his cinematic model and in game model were the same and I though "does he have the same rig?" because if so that's incredible that CryEngine can actually understand a rig tha...
It's true, games like this should be played by everyone. But then again that's business for ya :/
@newmonday
Nope.
@Freedomland
Yeah sure just ignore that we've pointed out that this is not a blunder and keep spewing your rhetoric.
@joecanada
Yeah I know who he is... I did spend a day sculpting all his features after all.. but I was not paid to engross myself into the Bruins fan base. Personally I'm from Bufalo so I will always root for the Sabres regardless of how bad they are. Cause above all el...
Dude! I just want to play it already :( Seriously debating about driving to one of those Major nelson Xbox tour things just to play it
I work as a a character modeler and right now I have a sculpture of Jeremy Iginla (The Hockey player) which is 4.2 million polygons. I decimated it into 100,000 polygons, and then retopologized him to 30,000... Is that a downgrade... or my workflow for getting the best performing model in game possible? He's still rendering based off the normal maps projected from his high poly sculpt so his low poly (30,00) looks nearly identical to the naked eye.
I guess what I'm t...
Yeahhhh I'm not exactly sure where people were getting the whole "downgrade" idea from :S
Yeah, Steam Machine or PC.
Well it is his job...
I'm sorry.
Still excited after seeing them put in the final in game models. Plus the new shaders definitely add a film like quality to it.
Cannot wait, everything about this game is shaping up to be awesome! :)
Is this really important to you?
Ok I'll let you in on a little secret as a character modeller. Throwing raw numbers of polygons at a character does not mean they will out right look better. We sculpt character in a EXTREMELY high poly format (I'm guessing the ZSculpt for Marius was around 13 million if his low poly model was 150,000) But as long as they have the sculpt they can simply retopologize it and produce a model that leans on normal mapping more. Sure you could notice the difference if you REALLY looked but ...
This is probably the most glaring example to me that R* still has no idea how to do online. If anything make it so you get reduced $ for repeat missions, cause some missions are actually enjoyable and me and my friends love playing them... well guess that's gone.
