Comment In: 'If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards.' [News - 05/22/2013 - 01:53]

That 's not always true. ...

That 's not always true. For some time after its release, the most popular game on the Xbox 360 was Halo 2, an original Xbox game. I don 't think any 360 games beat it until Gears of War was released. Sony had a similar problem with the PS3, though ...

Comment In: Marketers, start caring about video games, please [News - 12/04/2012 - 04:12]

I find it interesting that ...

I find it interesting that a marketing campaign so terrible that it goes down in flames in a single hour could be greenlit in the first place. Whether this was made with or without input from the developers, you would think that it would have set off red flags somewhere. ...

Comment In: Kixeye CEO responds to racism claims, fires four staff [News - 10/04/2012 - 10:38]

Comment In: 9 director creating animated film with Valve's Source tools [News - 06/11/2012 - 12:49]

It will be interesting to ...

It will be interesting to see exactly what based on entails. Source is a fairly popular choice for machinima, but there are definite constraints on certain motions and actions, such as walking/running speed. I wonder if the final film will feel more like machinima or like traditional 3D animation.

Comment In: Princeton Review names USC top game design school [News - 03/01/2012 - 03:25]

I think it 's pretty ...

I think it 's pretty safe to say that these Princeton Review lists lump programming, art and design into the same category. I think that calling it Game Development rather than Game Design would probably be more accurate, but their choice of words is probably based on what most university ...
