Comment In: The Simulation Dream [Blog - 06/02/2013 - 04:09]

Great post. But your view ...

Great post. But your view of story-richness is too reductionist. Any good fictional experience has to include both a simulation of everyday life and story and transcend these matters. It is only because of the descriptions of Hobbits in their everyday life that we care about whether someone drops the ...

Comment In: Coding "To The Metal" is a dangerous ideal. [Blog - 05/22/2013 - 05:37]

Instead of pointing out Robin ...

Instead of pointing out Robin 's inexperience and naivety, how about some hard data: r n r nWhat is the proportion of low-level coders among game developers r n r nIs it going up or down r n r nIf down, what are the main reasons Is it just multiplatform ...

Comment In: Skyrim's Modular Approach to Level Design [Blog - 05/01/2013 - 09:15]

What a great post. An ...

What a great post. An honor to read about one of the great accomplishments of this gen. r n r nCan 't wait to see your next-gen implementation of this philosophy. What will change Will it work as well as this gen, or even better r n r nDuring this ...

Comment In: Inside the PlayStation 4 With Mark Cerny [Feature - 04/24/2013 - 04:00]

Shhh Don 't mention those ...

Shhh Don 't mention those fancy new techniques. They require too much thinking. The point of new consoles is to make games look better without any new complicated stuff to learn. Keep things just as before, same old trusted displacement mapping, just feed it 16x the memory, fingers crossed.

Comment In: How I Used EVE Online to Predict the Great Recession [Blog - 04/05/2013 - 10:22]

Well, if there is anything ...

Well, if there is anything the bubble/crisis shows is that there are people on the inside of the system, such as in major banks, who are capable of understanding the thinking of the economists that are supposed to be charge, and act upon this knowledge for their own benefit. Basically, ...

Comment In: The Android console race begins today with Green Throttle's launch [News - 03/05/2013 - 12:01]

The sad thing about this ...

The sad thing about this is that it 's entirely dependent on network effects. If Google truly supported an official controller compatible with every android device sold, it would reach critical mass. Unfortunately, projects like these are likely to fail, and their failure are likely to wrongly convince Google or ...

Comment In: Video: Brian Moriarty's 'Apology for Roger Ebert' [News - 02/27/2013 - 02:50]

The more relevant question is, ...

The more relevant question is, as always, whether art is in fact a type of game.

Comment In: Analysis: Bungie and Activision's reveal of Destiny [News - 02/17/2013 - 01:15]

Seriously, I can 't believe ...

Seriously, I can 't believe that noone is pointing out the sheer lameness of having a mysterious sphere from outer space instead of a mysterious halo from outer space. Considering the size of this project it could possibly be the laziest writing in the history of gaming.

Comment In: Valve's Newell opens up about his 'Steam Box' plans [News - 01/09/2013 - 07:00]

Gabe 's dismissal of motion ...

Gabe 's dismissal of motion control seems kind of premature. Of course your hands, fingers and wrists are your highest-bandwidth body movements... if you ve spent your entire life in front of a computer. r n r nBut there is a real world out there too, populated by people who ...

Comment In: This is the future of free-to-play [News - 10/11/2012 - 02:35]

Agree about technological advancements being ...

Agree about technological advancements being the reason for F2P, but in a more straightforward manner: new technologies have made it much cheaper to create games, creating a glut and thus making free the only way to reach the audience. r n r nAlso agree about the upfront and transparent comment. ...
