You cannot judge engines on the quality of the overlaying game. The RAGE engine is a closed studio only engine that we simply have no idea of how it works. A good engine is an engine that is transparent for the content creators to work with and can help them build their product faster. No one except the people who worked on RAGE games can give us insight to how this engine works and therefore we cannot pass any kind of judgement to whether or not this is a good engine.

Their statement is true. The CryEngine is the only 100% real time engine i know of. Lightning is one of the most important thing when creating a good looking game and the CryEngine does Lighting in real time, while an engine such as Unreal Engine needs to calculate lightning and prebake it into the given level, making for some pretty annoying waiting when setting up lightning, while on the CryEngine, What you see is what you get.
The calculation of lightning is tech dating ba...
As an independent games developer currently working on my first project, i want to give my views on this issue. I choose UDK as my main platform after having worked quite a bit on modding with the Source engine and fooled around with Unity, along with numerous other engines. The Source engine is good, but it has some major flaws when creating and adjusting assets, especially advanced texturing is far harder then it should be. The way scripting works is also a bit on the annoying side and it&#...
It records up to 1080i, but from my experiences with the box, it's a far better to record in 720p.
And no, you can't just convert HDMI to component, it requires quite expensive equipment to do so.
Go read what HDCP is, then you might understand why this box is far from fail.
I own this box and it's great, but far from perfect. It's not compatible with other recording software then the bundled program, a program that have a lot of issues (especially when recording off composite or S-VHS sources).
The box is therefore not usable with streaming software such as Wirecast or Adobe Flash Media Encoder. It's possible to stream using the box and i do it myself from time to time, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops to do so and not a v...
The PlayStation 3 doesn't support video capture directly, the PS3 SDK has support for Youtube intigration if the given developer chooses to do so, but since there is no file to actually upload, there is no need for them to put in the youtube feature. Just Cause 2 can record footage of the game by using some of the processing power of the PS3 needed to dump and encode the video stream.
It would be possible with replay systems like the one found in Uncharted 2, since its ju...
I prefer Adobe After Effects and Premiere + Photoshop to edit with, then a half-assed video editor.
Yet, for those with an Haupauge HD PVR and a laptop, it could be a good little tool for recording your stuff and then transfering it to the PS3.
There is no merit to this article. A reason why reviews for MMO games usually are withheld to some time after the games launch, is simply for reviewers to get a glimpse into the real experience that everyone will have, purchasing the game.
Imagine reviewing World of Warcraft or some other MMO where the instant the game went public, the servers went down and had major issues, despite glowing reviews where everything worked? Or as a major factor in APB, the creative aspect of t...
Not the first Uncharted 2 machinima, besides this one is pretty bad.
I find it highly unlikely that they would just throw the game out there to retailers with little to none marketing, especially considering that Forza 3 is releaseing a very short time after.
Its no retail thing for sure, but they might just release it onto PSN. It gets consumers to use the service and they need to start taking games on demand seriously.
Pretty bad list, along with the downright TERRIBLE website design, got that thing looks horrible.
Nordisk Film (Nordic Film) is pulling the same stunt in Denmark, where the new retail price is matching the current prices of the PS3. The VAT has nothing to do with this, since the VAT has already been included with the former selling price. This is making the reselling value at the same level as it was before, so Nordic Film is actually just leaving the price at the same level, because they are making the stocking prices artificially high around Scandinavia, instead of forcing an actual pri...
Not bad at all, but the real question still remains, is this running within the Unreal Engine 3.0 itself without any modifications? Or is it simply a good CGI movie. Still impressive for a CGI movie, but if it is their dream to work inside a gaming environment, then it doesn't prove anything if the props and effects aren't working inside an actual engine.
Couldn't ID Software just pull it for Copyright Infringement? It capitalises on their copyrighted franchise and it even sounds like it steals the very same source audio.
Miyamoto may have lost touch with the gamers of the old generation, those people who played Mario on the NES and so on. Yet, you cant overlook the fact that while ideas on the Wii is getting average review scores, he helped expand the gaming audience to the ordinary people.
His ideas helped break the wall to the common people and it made more people play video games then ever. While we are the more hardcore gamers of the old generation might think he is becoming a bit irrelevant ...
Considering that it is a console game that was originally intended to be played on a console, it should be a given that they would recommend the style of play that was envisioned for the game.
Looks like a pretty bad fake to me. Even if Valve screwed up and used it as a template for some other stuff, it would seem like pretty bad work for the artists not even doing some proper rescaling and fitting of the images.
Usually when you make something for a template, you want it to actually give a sense of quality, not using it for filling out space, unless its a design made do design.
Seems like a very bad fake to me.
The quality and content of these games are also far superior to what was offered in the past (With some exceptions). Having played Bastion and From Dust, it's clear that these are great games with fresh gameplay ideas and styles.
