The reasons these comments get made is because Slashdot unfortunately does not moderate who can gain membership and post to the threads. Most "serious" news sites have serious restrictions on that sort of thing...or they actually have actual gamers who post instead of just hardware and software lovers. Also, while I'm at it, another tip to be more serious in the gaming department..you need to be quicker with gaming news. Other major sites have these stories day before Slashdot posts them.
wow..I haven't heard anything about Blender in forever! I used to use it maybe about 7 or 8 years ago...all I remember is that it felt very backwards when I started using Maya and XSI. Programming games in the same program that you do all of your modeling in was probably the coolest thing about it...go Python!
Way to be a child Blizzard. Just because you guys are not comfortable with your own sexuality, doesn't mean you have to compensate for it in your video game. Act your age!
"Interstate 76" was a far better game in comparison...and just for fun...does anyone ever remember the title "Streets of Sim City"? It was also a similar kind of games with guns on your cars. You could load your built cities from Sim City 2000 into this game and race around.
I'd say stopping at the SNES is too bad bacuse other more recent systems showed how it pushed the performance of the system:
SNES: Stunt Race FX....which also used the FX chip (2nd game to use it)
Sega 32X: Virtua Fighter...worst looking version of the series, but at least you didn't need a Saturn to play it.
N64: Perfect Dark...pushed the N64 a little too hard..almost unplayable at some points.
N64: Resident Evil 2...huge game for the N64..I'm suprised they managed to fit it all onto a cartridge at all.
Playstation: Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid...both just grabbing all the PSOne had left for performance.
Yea, and it's multiplayer bigger brother X-Wing vs TIE Fighter was seriously the best online game ever. It peaked in online popularity in 2000, and the game originally was released in 1995. Best flight sim ever.
Oh, and you are totally right about LucasArts not making good games anymore.
