Age of Conan

I passed on everything for minimum (except Windows 7), but not for recommended:

Recommended: Core 2 Duo E6600 or equivalent
You Have: 2 processors running - Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz

Crysis

I passed on everything for minimum and recommended, except OS (Windows 7 build 7000), so it suddenly means my computer is completely unable to run these games

Operating System
Recommended: Windows XP/Vista
You Have: Microsoft (Build 7000)

It looks like they're going to release FOUR new NFS titles. The last one seems to be secret, to be futuristic and will follow the storyline of previous NFS.

I think that there already was a topic about Cryengine3.

Anyways, this was my 500th post

I searched for it but didn't find any and the auto search didn't bring anything related to this too.

Wow! Is this that keyboard with "LCD keys"? The one you can put images or select custom text and colors for each key, and is also configurable for playing games (so when the game is running the key images automatically change and only the keys used for game controls show up).

This keyboard is simply amazing! (and very, very expensive )

Here's my last purchase:


E5200 2.5GHz until June...
Core 2 Quad coming soon...

Video looks great! I'm downloading the high quality now.

Keep up the good work

Did you know you could extend Opera's speeddial to this?:

by adding this to your speeddial.ini:

I didn't know. Thanks a lot going to do it now.

My opinion about this graphic engine: http://img72.imageshack.us/img ... /evolutionofcryengine.jpg

Wow... looking at the CryEngine 3 screenshot, it makes it very obvious how much Crytek removed from the game to make it even laggable on the consoles. It looks terrible. They removed plenty of objects, trees, shadow details etc and put a ridiculous amount of contrast in it. (BTW, please notice the CryEngine 3 screenshot was taken on PS3).

This just shows how much better PC is for gaming than consoles. I REALLY hope Crytek makes a decent PC version of the CryEngine 3, because our computers can handle much more than this shitty graphics, otherwise I refuse getting any other game from Crytek.

Quote from Krane :

My Logitech MX500 mouse's forward button/mouse gesture right (in Opera) also works as next page/or next something button (in default settings I might add no magic - just automagically chooses the next something). In LFS Forum it's the next newer thread than the current.

Good find, although I already knew that. I'd rather have it to go to the next thread page, I think it'd be more useful. It goes to "next page" in many websites, but some of them just go to "next newest" or "last page". I didn't try to configure it though, it might be possible to choose which action to perform.

Quote from BigPeBe :

Heh, noticeable FPS problems in a demo video.

Yes indeed, specially on the falling tree for Playstation3. It clearly showed the shadow wasn't being correctly rendered and also not real time, and it was very slow and laggy. I think the port to consoles is going to make the game less optimized for PC since they'll need to code it for several platforms.

Quote from Bose321 :

I hope the consoles don't affect the graphics

Me too. Taking the consoles alone, I think it will most likely alter the graphics depending on the console. It's clearly noticeable the PS3 looks much better (although slower), and the X360 looks just like low resolution textures and less contrast, and still slower (not as much as the PS3 though). But I do hope they don't change the game quality on PC just because the consoles can't handle it.

Well.. I didn't have time to practice, didn't have time to qualify, didn't have time to make (or download) a setup and almost didn't get to the race (got to the server 8 minutes before qualifying week was over ). I quickly edited RACE_S setup after the qual and couldn't test it before the race. I started on the last position, and on the first lap I braked too hard and my tyres completely locked, which caused my engine to die and then it seems as I've mistakenly engaged reverse, all at the same time. But I managed not to crash or slow down anyone else while I was at it and I kept my car under control.

Regardless, race was great, I really enjoyed it a lot, it was a very interesting and fun challenge

I'm looking forward to the next endurance.

(By the way, I also noticed I was the only person on the whole server to play with keyboard + mouse)

CryEngine 3 demo was presented on GDC 2009. The next game will be available for PC, PS3 and Xbox360.

Quote from Gamespot :

Crytek came to GDC 2009 with a demo of CryENGINE 3. The new engine runs across the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, in a bid to make development cycles cheaper, better, and faster for themselves as well as their licensees. Additionally, the engine will run on future consoles by using simple internal updates, so developers only have to worry about making the game, not porting it. An updated what you see is what you play (WYSIWYP) toolset allows developers to edit in real time across all three supported platforms. CryENGINE 3 contains numerous updates that developers can take advantage of: destructible environments, cloth simulations, hundreds of light sources, a real time soft particle system, real time dynamic global illumination, motion blur, depth of field, natural lighting, soft shadows, and a whole host of additional features.

We came away quite surprised. The demo we saw was running on the Xbox 360, and honestly, the game looked roughly about as good as Crysis with high quality settings. The environments looked stunning with dynamic light sources coming from every single direction and advanced water effects that reacted to gun fire, explosions, and even incoming rain. We're looking forward to seeing what kinds of games developers build on the console with CryENGINE 3.

Tested twice, just to confirm


It's exactly what I'm paying for (except upload, should be 0.56Mbits, starts at 0.60Mbits but in the end of the upload it goes to 0.37).

I pay BRL R$199 for my connection alone (GBP £60.96, USD $90.31, EUR $67.17, JPY $9,035.19 ).

Quote from LineR32 :

New one for me.

That really, really reminds me of NFS Carbon. I thought it was a wallpaper of the game when I saw the thumbnail.

The device has been modified - Victims of the Science

One of the coolest things I've heard in a while...
...Smells Like Teen Spirit played by an Orchestra. (A freshman orchestra, so it could be better... but still.)

That's amazing.... I love this song, and it sounds very good played by an Orchestra.
I wonder if there's somewhere I can get it better quality

Quote from JasonJ :

Old bug there ^^

Follower could not find position Look familiar?

It's when the spectating camera tries to lock to a car, but the car is off the course slighly so the camera doesn't know where the car is in the path - hence the graphic engine cannot figure out which surfaces to occlude.

IIUC

If it's "old", it's not "test-patch related"

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Lol been there done that.. WHERE ARE MY ****ING SUNGLASES.. oh wait.. oh me head. :doh:

I've once done that with a pen. I was writing something, I got distracted and then I started searching for my pen. It took me about 5 minutes until I asked my friend, "have you seen my pen somewhere?", to which he answered "is it this one in your hand?". :doh:

7022 updated to 7068 in two hours here.

Everything went smooth, only Interweb Exploder icon was back on superbar :sadbanana

How did you update to a newer build? Have you gotten the leaked one, or is there a official? If it's the official one, could you please post the link? I'd like to update too

Today I was going fast with my car on the bridge getting back to broker, when I hit a sidewall, my car went to the air and I landed exactly over a police car. I pressed gas to get out of its roof and kept running. The cop didn't engage pursuit. This is some of the times I regret having clip recorded disabled.
After that, I hit another 2 police cars (with officers inside obviously) and none of them engaged pursuit. Both times I tried to avoid collision, but couldn't.

I love that the cops often kind of think "well that wasn't your fault so I'm not going to pursuit you", and I didn't really choose to land on a police car but I really thought I was going to be chased it was very funny.
