NVidia announces Cg: "C" for Graphics

mr_sheel writes: "Thresh's FiringSquad has an article about Cg, a new language developed by NVidia in collaboration with Microsoft. 'Up until now,' Brandon Bell writes, 'game developers have had to use complex assembly language to create the lifelike graphics gamers experience in today's latest games.' Cg eases the process of bringing graphics to the screen and compiles for DirectX 8,9 and OpenGL 1.4. Many companies, including 3D Studio Max, Blizzard, and over 100 game developers, have already jumped onto the Cg bandwagon. Will this replace assembly graphics coding once and for all?"

    Well until John Carmak gives his opinion on it I'm not even going to care. Other then the fact that it could at least improve the quality games.
    Or at least someone that rights engines for a living.

    Just remember too that Microsoft sleeps around a lot. You can be in bed with them one minute and then their off in the bathroom fucking your biggets competitor just to make you get mad and get you to do something stupid.

    Do you people ever read your own website?

    Just what do you all do with your time, anyway? There's about a dozen of you, and you post about a dozen stories a day. Thats all you do. And still after years of doing the same thing everyday, you people keep making the same sophmoric mistakes again and again.

    I'd expect a little content from a buch of slackers whose jobs it is to sit around in their underwear and read email. No, then again, I wouldn't.

    This site could be great if you guys wanted it to be.

    Given that the XBox has pretty much turned out to be a dud, there's every reason to expect that this will too. Rather doubt you'll see a PS2 or GameCube port of this crap, and that's what really matters.

    Awww... whassamatter baby? Jealous because you bought a crappy console and are trying to justify your choice on Slashdot?

    Tell ya what... go buy an XBox. You'll feel better.
