I only respond to what's directed at me. I gave everyone's post what they deserved in response, including yours bud. Don't try to buy back your unamusing actions under the guise of me overreacting. You're a big boy, you can take your medicine just like all the other sickos that think it's cool to j...

I'm going to sound like a complete @$$ here, but isn't C# an unusual choice of language for a fast-paced action game? I can understand the cross-platform benefits of it, but it is really optimal for this situation?

Obviously you are just a little brat who's antics no real man would do anything but laugh at fondly as they remembered the days when they were young arrogant idiots just like you. You don't know much about me, do you? Ah well, far be it for me to share a resume. For all those who support the projec...

My gosh, he is so full of it. A Windows-specific development branch was spawned from the D2X project, fixing all of the issues D2X still had and adding a lot of new features (blah blah blah) greatly enhanced feature set of the project. (blah blah blah) D2X-XL is the most advanced and feature-rich us...

I thought the water levels were pretty. They still are in an esoteric, boxy sort of way. There's just something about flying around in Seaspring Gorge with Type O Negative's Haunted in the background that will always bring up great memories for me.

Hmm, I may have to keep that in mind next time I reinstall Windows on this machine. I'd sure like to have the search ability in the model browser again.

First rule of dealing with any Epic tech - don't believe what they tell you. It's all lies, I tell you. LIES!

First of all, Bubbalou, once again I have to take time to correct you. The shots I have posted labelled Geocore are not still renders, they are in game shots. Doesn't really matter. They don't look that great either way. Interesting how people still talk crap about this project but noone offers to ...

If I may suggest - When I first played Episode 1, I had a very similar problem with the game crashing whenever it would autosave. In reality, it was some kind of audio crash. The workaround was to force the game to run in DirectX 8.1 mode, which is an argument you can pass into the game (right-click...

Half-Life: Full Life Consequences

Kyouryuu

Most probable solution would be the UT2004 or UT3 engine. Lots of tutorials and tons of REALLY nice, professional software for free usage with their engine. I really wouldn't bother with Epic. Even as far as Valve goes, look, creating a great mod is no guarantee that Valve will pick you up. But Ste...

Kyouryuu

Valve updates the engine as it updates Half-Life 2. The last improvement came with the Orange Box, which added cinematic physics, a rewritten lighting and shadowing engine, and illumination in Hammer Editor.

money rules the world, and if a professional gamestudio ever decides to make a new descent, it will be made to please the massmarket for maximum profit. As opposed to a tiny Internet group that thinks it knows everything there is to know about 360º games and probably wouldn't buy it anyway on the g...

I fail to see the point of Vista. When years of work have made XP into a fairly stable, smooth OS, why in the world would I pay to go backwards five years to another buggy train wreck that does the exact same things, but requires more horsepower to eke out the same performance? 3.1 to 95, that was a...

I'd love a Portal Gun. That would be pretty cool. Just set up a couple portals and you have a direct link to anywhere.

That's the way that D3's music works, and certainly would fit for the Descent SP style. No, Descent 3 has a running soundtrack. The difference is that it is situational. It switches tracks based on level scripting. But there is always music. Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are musically silent most of th...

Kyouryuu

Why didn't you just take an existing engine like Source and make a mod out of it? Prove your concept as a mod first, then worry about \"investors\" and \"publishers\" and rolling your own engine from scratch. No sane person would invest in a bunch of still renders. You are a smal...

I've always liked the Miranda Mine in Descent 1. It's just the roller coaster structure of it.

No official level sticks out in Descent 2 for me. They weren't that creative and really didn't flow that well.

Same with Descent 3. I can't even remember many of Descent 3's levels.

Kyouryuu

These came from MP3.com a really long time ago... back when they offered, you know, MP3s.

I think they would have been really good, especially if the game took the musical approach Half-Life does where there are just pockets of music for high-energy moments, rather than a long, looping soundtrack.

There is a hidden cost though. Chains really do the number on the pavement.

Certainly, saving lives is worth more than the cost of paving a road, but some of the roads around here are just gnarly after the big trucks run down them with their heavy-duty chains and snow tires.

Edit: My main point of criticism is that the levels are way too bright for my taste - almost like every light would be fully bright, white light. I don't think it's too bright, I think the coronas are way, way too big. For proper corona use, you need to look at games like Unreal Tournament 2004 or ...

Ron Paul deserved a lot more attention than he got. Paul demonstrates a simple truth - the media decides our elections. Paul got no airtime. He was largely ignored in all debates. He was never given a fair shake. And even though I think some of his approaches are loony, if an idiot like Huckabee can...

The Republicans had the right idea about Florida. Let their delegates count for half as much. But the bottom line is that Florida gave the middle finger to both parties in advancing their primaries forward. Now they are crying that they aren't represented. Maybe they should have thought of that befo...

The bottom line - if you can't afford it or will not pay for it, you have no right to own it. That's the way the world works. If it costs too much, wait like the rest of us have to for the price to come down.

I never watch movies in the theater anymore. Aside from there being little worth watching, it costs too damn much, even for a matinee showing these days. If it's worth watching, it will be on TNT in a few months. I'm not picky about where or when I see movies.

No. God loves everyone. This is what is best for homosexuals whether they know it or not. And you say homosexuals are scary? Why don't people like you get bent out of shape when the heterosexual divorce rate in this country is so high? Why do gays get all the blame for this "erosion" of m...

I think on the PC, piracy really is a problem. Perhaps not to the numbers he claims, but it is considerable to the point where the smart money is on Steam. Steam's terms of use, allowing you to install a game on as many computers as you want, couldn't be more liberal. MMOs like World of Warcraft als...

I thought we were electing a President, not a Pope.

While it does take more than one man to wreck the Constitution, it doesn't help to elect people who have such wanton disdain for it.

Too moderate? What are you looking for? Sharia law? God's law, actually. Remember Huckabee's admission that he'd rather bend the Constitution than break the will of God?

It's funny how things can have such inauspicious beginnings. If you met either of them on the street looking like that, would you have any clue that one would become President and the other would campaign for it?

It's a joke, certainly. Although, in reality, it's probably not that far off.
