    Green Monster Games - Curt Schilling

    What I believe he was talking about is not about getting experience. Any software company, before going on to make their BIG UBER SHINY Application or game, should start out by making smaller applications not only to fund the big one but to also start developing tools/technologies to use in your...

    I have to say... That was a great fucking post Ken. Being one of the first ppl to hit PoM and discover some of the gear there I have to say I was trully disapointed in what happend with that zone. IMO it had the highest potential of being something totally new and different in everquest, but...

    hehe that sounds so simple doesnt it? Just hire good ol John =p. Anyways back in the old beta boards, it was common knowledge that the Unreal Engine was tweaked heavily and they have been using some Unreal 3.0 code aswell on the 2.0 code base.

    Well we can say that now cant we? But back then it appeared to be the right decision. Bulding a Game Engine from the ground up is a fucking long ass process, which would probably have pushed the games budget up even more. Its easy to second guess now that we see the outcome but back then how...

    I have to agree. News flash OpenGL is not the saviour. If you look at most games out in todays market, they use Direct X. Dont come and say that but WoW uses OpenGL. You wana know why? 2 simple reasons, 1 its a modified War3 engine which used Opengl, and 2 they wanted to port it to Mac. If...

    Well that P4 processor is ur main problem. Anything starting with P4 is a total and complete piece of junk, sorry to say but it is. Apart from that a few questions.. Onboard Sound? Latest Nvidia Drivers? Did you use Driver Cleaner to remove previous Nividia Drivers? but really, seriously...

    Id just like to add to the sentiment of some that say Screenshots dont do this game Justice, and now that Ive experienced the game in max settings with steady 50fps I have to say they are right. Screenshots might look great, BUT DAMN they are nothing compared to actually seeing stuff in the...

    Hmm i was under the impression that Windows XP had a problem allocating Memory above the 3gig Mark. How have you setup your Hard Drives? small edit, the problem occurs after the 3gig mark. This applies to Windows XP 32bit

    Well it depends on what the general definition of beta is. I got in on beta 2, and yes the game was playable but hardly so. However I knew IT WAS BETA, it is not release. The changes they made from beta 1 to beta 5 were huge, but again THEY WERE IN BETA, they didnt pull this shit when the...
