Certainly, this is the most common misconception about framerate.
People saying such things must be thinking about cinema, which is 24 FPS anyway. They just fail to realize that a movie frame is very different from a 3D game frame. The movie frame captures 1/24 of a second while the game frame is instantaneous, it has no duration. So the movie frame contains a lot more information than this game frame and that's just why you don't need as many of them to show the same movement.
btw, i'd also like to see those people with their desktop set to 30Hz (if that was possible). As far as i'm concerned, using a decent screen res, even 60Hz is annoying to say the least.
Now, you would need to physicaly simulate things, but you can reduce the complexity of a model arbitrarily if you are willing to sacrifice quality. The computer detects that we don't need high quality simulations of tables, so it only simulates where the corners would be and fills the rest in as a polygon.
makes me wonder if you've ever seen a realtime 3D scene, or even a wooden table. what you describe here looks bad on a screen, so i don't think it would be very convincing in a virtual reality.
"Duke Nukem" is the male version of "Tomb Raider", stereotype-
Funny thing, though -- most people I know find Duke Nukem funny, not offensive. Does it mean that men are less full of themselves than women ?
I must be strange then, i'm a male and i've never seen tomb raider as funny. If there is humour in there, it certainly isn't obvious.
on the other hand, duke's first enemies are human like flying tigers. who could ever think of it as serious ?
Maybe tomb raider is so very subtle that i don't get it. But then, i won't blame others who don't get it either.
Expecting a movie to teach or reinforce values is a joke. That's what parents are for.
Whether you want it or not, stories (including the ones seen in movies) do convey some point of view, if not a message.
When you read/view/hear them, it become part of your own reality (except maybe for the ones that you'll reject for whatever reason) that could be called culture.
The funny thing is that it works in such a subtle way (if you're not aware of it) that having this kind of discussion in a Matrix thread seems quite appropriate.
It doesn't matter if you have the fastest hardware in the world if you can't use it because of badly designed software.
but then, if you have this really great software, why limit it to not so great hardware ?
i think it's quite strange for apple to want you to "think different" but in this difference, there's no choice at all.
"think even more different" i'd say.
well, i also read review after i see a movie that i liked.
i think it's interesting to read other opinions, and there's the possibility that they will discuss a point that u missed (like an obscure reference).
i guess i could just read to some forum but professional reviewers are generaly more agreable to read.
you surely missed the fact that the official Ghost page directly links to ps2.ign.com for the exclusive preview.
also, Gamespot states that the TGS demo was running on xbox.
only the NGC is missing here.

I for one enjoy a mindless game like doom or racing where almost everyone has an equal playing field without spending hours each day playing it.
Try playing against an experienced quake player and let's see where the equal playing field begins.

Besides isn't the point of RPG's to pretend to be something you are not?
I'd say RPG lets you experience things you couldn't do otherwise. That includes beeing something you aren't but is not limited to it.
