^^^ Hahaha! Nice ones. But the only game I can seriously envision are either really kiddy games or a kart racing game.

Well isn't bad, it's just not up to par with the others, it was just OK. I haven't played the 3D ones but I hear they are asstastic.

Everyone is just licensing Unreal Engine 3 because it's pretty much pointless to license Doom III for a game coming out in a the next 2 years. But I hear Carmack is updating the Doom III engine to do new crap. Also, the tech was pretty unstable in the beginning so only a select few could get it or wanted to have it. I guess Tim Sweeney won this round.

Any SamSho is good SamSho. Besides 3, of course.

It's an extremely modified Doom 3 engine. They got the license to it around 2001 which is when the engine first came out so they've had plenty of time to do stuff to it. What's suprising is that, as far as I know, only this game and Quake IV have licensed the Doom III engine.

I removed the links since PC Gamer is cracking down on it the 3DR forum. If you want to see them, just PM me. I'm definitely buying this issue. The game looks awesome and from what I read the gameplay will be magnificent! I haven't been this excited about a game in a very long time. If you want the entire article, just PM me your email address.

e-m-u-l-a-t-e But seriously, it's nice that the project is being picked up again.

It's like rips in space that connect two geometric areas. Imagine you're in a game and you're in a cave and there is a portal. Through it you can see a tropical forest, if you walk through that portal, you will be taken there instantaneously. And now imagine if those are dynamic as in they can be made anywhere and in any position. It's really weird to describe. It technically allows for deformable terrain since all geometries are handled dynamically, as opposed to BSP engine where everything is rigid in a BSP tree. The Red Faction engine was a portal engine. It's just really hard to work with them apparantly which is why the game was scrapped the first time. Luckily I was able to get my hands on the PC Gamer article from a lucky subscriber and the dynamic portals are definitely in.

Haha! That's what Paul Schuytema said when was trying to explain what portal technology was.

Unreal does static portals only. The Serious Sam engine did that as well. The one the Prey engine has/had were dynamic. It was mathematically a 4D engine because it had rips in space. I don't really know the technical details so I can't really explain well but it's something that hasn't been at this level since the original Prey engine. Also, portals can be implimented into any engine according to George Broussard.

What a true statement.

Yes, equally. See, if you spend the time to spell it properly you may know how to spell it in the future. The more you type the more practice you get. Taking shortcuts is no way to go through life (look whose talking ).

Hahaha! Sounds intense. The only drug dealers I've known are lame white boys.

Wow, you really suck.

I hear drug dealing, pimpin' hoes, and husting is a lucrative business.

What kind of game can they make out of this IP?

Hmm...then I should just have a big magnet laying around and some nice static material to toss in.

This is precisely why I have tiny explosive in my PC case incase I'm ever raided. Just flip a switch and BAM! Evidence gone.

Hey man, Canada isn't immune either. Some nuts there are trying to impose a 25% tariff on iTunes. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/...1&tid=98&tid=17

Woohoo! Prey info from the June PC Gamer. Found here: http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/show...=0&fpart=4&vc=1 All this is provided by Eclipse of 3DRealms forums and PlanetDuke, he is a PC Gamer subscriber and got it early in the mail. He was nice enough to answer some questions. This is in response to me asking for impressions after reading the article. This is after someone asked if there any mention of multiplayer. This is after someone asked him about the portal technology. This is an answer to a name query (the name used to be Talon Brave but is now Tommy something. People think it's Tommy Hawk). This is in response to Spirit walking and death walking. This is a response to my question if the game is extremely dark like Doom 3.

Some HL: Aftermath news. * Aftermath will be presented at E3 next month * The release date will be in Fall 2005 * The time to play it through will be about 1/3 of the time needed for HL2 * Aftermath will just be released via Steam, no retail-version is planned http://www.hlfallout.net/viewnews.php/7866/

Good thing I empty my shared folder has quickly as it fills up.

I just found this really funny. AMD won Best CPU Manufacturer at an event sponsored by Intel. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=22504

No. Why don't you set up a lemonade stand?
