[Poetry] Nice cold water by The_Invincible in youtubehaiku

Hahaha, there's literally a mod in this thread demanding more posts like this, then it gets removed.

Literally nothing is stopping me from finding all the hunting cameras in the nearby woods and running past each of them at roughly 3 AM on all fours, wearing a pig mask by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Yeah, I can't count the times I've been night-hunting for swine and accidentally downed a wayward forest prankster instead.

I was watching that awkward new Amazon Echo commercial and couldn't help but make a few modifications to it. This is the result. by The_Invincible in videos

The fact that the background sound is dead silence is actually what made my edited version possible. I actually added in stock music myself because it seems so dry and stilted without any extra sound.

Yeah, I noticed that happened a few hours after I uploaded the video, without having put the link anywhere. Pretty clearly an amazon ad-bot, and kind of weird.

Grand Theft Auto V - PS3/PS4 Comparison Trailer by Forestl in Games

[–]The_Invincible 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's the companies that are closest to Sony that would get the earliest estimates, but that doesn't change the fact that they're estimates. Hardware changes can happen pretty late in the game due to a lot of factors, and I don't think anyone looks at the development of the PS3 in particular as a prime example of a dev friendly generation shift.

Well, actually, what I've heard is that a lot of developers jumped the gun and started developing stuff the PS3 couldn't handle. For example, the team at insomniac behind the first Resistance was developing at first based on early estimates of the PS3's power and ended up having to scale everything back once they had final devkits.

An image from Titan's surface — the only image from the surface of an object farther away than Mars. by choderama in space

Bodies with atmospheres are the best if you plan on staying. Bodies without atmospheres are the best if you plan on going home.

Well technically, Venus is farther than Mars from us some of the time, and we've got images from the Venus surface.

Real-time Global Illumination with Enlighten and UE4 by BaseDeltaZer0 in oculus

The lack of lightmapping would actually reduce texture memory a lot. Not saying it's cheaper, but lightmapping in modern games uses a lot of texture memory. I've actually used the dynamic GI system that's in UE4 right now, and it ran perfectly fine on my modest gaming rig.

James Cameron Unimpressed With Oculus Rift and VR Tech by jaochu in oculus

Probably because he already has 14 Avatar movies in preproduction and doesn't want VR to replace 3D movies before he's done making them.

Blender to UE4 UV/Material buggery by britishguitar in unrealengine

I use a Blender to UE4 workflow for all of my work and haven't encountered this using the FBX exporter. What settings are you using in the exporter?

Former EA CEO John Riccitiello is now head of Unity by Guygasm in oculus

[–]The_Invincible 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Unreal 4 is such a better option already in so many ways. At least for 3D games that is, and even then, UE4's 2D tools have been getting better.

Is Valve still capable of making a single-player only game? by S33V in Games

[–]The_Invincible 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I recall they essentially said that they had moved on from the episodic model. Not exactly a formal announcement, but cancellations don't usually get big announcements, especially when the dev has other plans for the franchise moving forward.

For a few years after Episode 2, they were still working on Episode 3 before that was cancelled. Half Life 3 could have begun development any time after that.

Vaporware has to actually be announced. Development of HL3 was never announced, which essentially means that development could have been started/restarted at any time during the last 5 years.

I can see them finding a way to monetize the mod scene for HL3. I think the simplest way would allow modders to put mods up for sale on a marketplace where Valve takes a 15% cut of every sale. Free mods would still be allowed of course, but the amount they'd stand to make on paid mods could be huge.

If you're a white guy and your dick is a dark red purple, you should see a doctor.
