Hmm, where do I start... Well, firstly, the xbox's GPU is in fact better than the GeForce3 in terms of the use it's designed for. It has more flexibility in terms of pixel and vertex shading. The unified memory is in fact a good thing, part of it mea...  [Read More]

Sadly (on topic), I don't expect full gore/dismemberment in JKII. Lucasarts will probably have already cut that idea from the beginning... Anyways, it's not exactly starwars is it? Mind you that whole darth maul in half thing worked.......  [Read More]

Sadly the majority of data I might be able to use here is paid for... But companies full of talent such as Rouge and Looking Glass certainly must say something about the industry. If anything, the kind of "hardcore" games many of the peopl...  [Read More]

The state of the industry sales might be good... but actually developers aren't doing so well... I mean what sort of industry lets a company like Looking Glass close up shop?Lots of devco's are forced to live a meagre existance from project to anothe...  [Read More]

Ki-Adi-Mundi: My point about the stormtroopers was justifying the use of AI, countering the earlier point: Advances in AI have allowed us to play against computer simulated 'human' opponents. Frequently AI is designed to be 'human-like.' And making...  [Read More]

Gaming is not an inherantly social activity. If I'm playing a game where I'm the hero there's not a single reason why anyone else should exist in my gamespace. Gaming is not by definition social, it is escapism. And sometimes that means that playing...  [Read More]

It's not "the suits". It the market. It can't be helped, and if anything, I see a complete distinction between multiplayer and single player. Yes, you may be able to reuse the art resources, but generally they are completely different game...  [Read More]

It will likely have linux dedicated server support, as for the actual game, I'm not so sure, hopefully, but so far the units sold for that platform haven't *exactly* been great....  [Read More]

It's unlikely to be prerendered. Personally I quite like in game cutscenes, but that's more from a technical viewpoint, in one sense they're harder to do, but it is better if one minute you're playing the game, and the you look up, see an x-wing flyi...  [Read More]

Just a question, but do we really expect clans for JKII. They're rare enough in Q3, you expect them in an even more single-played biased game?...  [Read More]

What I think Kwup is talking about is a form of internet radio, used for commenting on a game as it is played, as a sports commentator would. It's probably more useful for clan/league games. As for voip for current games, yes it creates lag, and is...  [Read More]

That would be the streaming MP3 then... which isn't really a part of the game, just something that you can run concurrently... a nice idea however, it would be nice if that was integrated in Valves idea, which is to allow unlimited spectators to view...  [Read More]
