From a conference call held with Take 2's CFO last week:
"The first 25 million is for the first episodic content package that 's supposed to go out and that is in March of '08. That's why it moved into current because it's in the next 12 months. The second 25 will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal '08."
"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.
il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr
morning rant over.
here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.
Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
Even 10 years after release, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online's player engagement has risen drastically compared to last year.
The game looks too clean without it.
Always annoying when articles do that.
I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.
i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.
MS is surely betting that they're going to BANK off these GTA fans who pay a rediculous amount of money for the episodic content. That you can be sure of...
Personally. I don't mind additional maps but the story itself should be told whole, and episodic content says nothing more than a way for us to milk your money. I can see an expansion when it's truly an expansion and offers a vast amount of new gameplay. But the single player aspect should be told in it's entirety and shouldn't involve added content that the purpose of is to generate revenue and profit...
360 fanboys disagree when you tell em that take two needed bailing out of possible chapter 11 and Sony told em to take the money. they must know something we don't? a dissapointing GTA?? hmmmmm
50 mil = chump change for MS, but I hope it'll be worth it
how big is the episodic content? Like hl episode 1/2, pretty much new game big? or just some new models and missions, for 25mil a pop I'm guessing they'll be like new games.
I'm sure they will make it all back when they charge for it.
