  • Thank you lucid for this beautifull speach. Valve is a user-centric company, thought as every company they think about money

    360 and ps3 problem is the shared content. That's true that to make games play and look axacly the same on both is not letting the hardware to reach it's full potential. But sony made develpment of their games more expensive therfore 360 is firts to develop at if the game is going multi platform. Thought it seams that 360 is a bit more powerfull graphic wise ( i dunno understand y sony did not included hardware support for aa). Nintendo from the other hand knows what to do and them avoiding this generation was a good move. I think they predicted that games will be multiplatform, therefor they decided that 3 platformes with the same power will be to much for the market, and they went competetvie in completely diferent way.

    Anyway, I think I've read it on gamespot's website that speculations are that wii2 is going to have 512MB ram. For a console that's enough i think. To my knowladge Ps3 has 256MB of ram.

    See what happens i guess, but if nintendo would bring gack the hardcore audiance than that would be great, becasue whatever you can say about 3dr party titles, their inhous productions are most of the time fantastic.

  • i just refurbished my new site, wanst pretty enough until now.

    i was wondering if i should post about this but why not.

    im not really a coder, and its under construction but its hell of a pretty.

    http://www.menrvagames.com

    It looks ok, but i dont understand what kind of comment youre after? and the navigation bar: does it suppose to be 3d when you look at it with glasses? What kind of target you have with this website?

  • If it will be as the rumors say it might - more powerful than ps3 and 360, where those two ware planning on 8 years life span, so to stay tull around 2014 then N will indeed give them the final slap

    N lost loads of money with GC. For them the only way ti survive was to strike to the fairly fresh casual market to stay alive.

    Now they have it and i think that N will keep supporting The Wii long after wii 2 lounch because of it's casual values.

    I was working at second hand games shop for over 3 years, and I'm telling you that Wii games ware very popular among Moms XD Y they would bother buying new console if Wii is enough for them?

    Therefor I do think that if the rumors are true, we can expect massive game developers turn back to nintendo's possibly new platform, delivering games like assassins creed etc., because it will be now possible. At the same time, we can probubly expect most of current aaa games ported with some exclusive content.

    But I'm up for that... i just don't like the idea of screen built in to the controller. I play games looking at the screen usualy XD

    Post E3 announcement info starts on page six:

    Original Post by megatronx:

    ----------------------------------

    Have you heard lates rumors about wii 2? XD

    form IGN

    [quote:1cjl42rw]According to multiple reports today, Nintendo will reveal a new console at E3 this coming June.

    Game Informer first reported the details, saying the console is capable of running games at "HD resolutions." Our sources have said the the console is significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that Nintendo's intent is to recapture the hardcore market. Another source said it is capable of 1080p resolutions.

    Nintendo is reportedly showing the console to publishers to garner interest for a late 2012 launch.

    Additional sources tell IGN that Nintendo will release a pre-announcement this month with a full reveal expected at E3 and that the console will be backwards compatible with current Wii software.

    A report from CVG states the new Nintendo console will use an all-new controller - not an updated Wii controller - with sources saying it will have a built-in screen. Additional sources informed IGN the screen has touch capability.

    > I would definitely like a transparent background. Is that even possible? Also, is it possible to overlay an html5 game over other webpage elements?

    >

    Yes, you can have a transparent background, I just need to add an option for it. You can overlay the canvas over other web page elements, you just need to set up the web page yourself so the canvas is positioned over something else in the page (just a bit of CSS).

    What about some html implementation for links? Surly it's poss to implement this with js. I had even a thought of makeing a plugin like that, but unfortunetely I'm not good at programing ( i did tried many times to learn ), at least atm.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I've just went trough this topic again and i realised that i forgot about menchioning so many more games XD and i remember thinking to myself back when i was writing my post 'huh, i can't remember any more' XD

    Final Fantasy 1-x

    Secret of mana ALL

    RodLand ( this arcade game is a first game with 16-bits graphics ever, but at the same time is so brutaly addictive. You just can't stop, have to finish it. It's like acid trip on your screen XD And it's 2 player coop too. http://youtu.be/JlGrTQcyWpU . get mame emu and rom cause it's the best version out there. RODLAND! ... acctualy i might think about making a game like that with construct.. hmm XD )

    Portal, DN3d, doom, quake1-3, half-life2, turok, goldeneyen64... and i forgot again XD ah morrowind defo, now there is so may amasing mod to enhance graphics that it look even better than oblivion ( because of its fantastic style too)

  • > Maybe it's been said, but support for html within apps would be great, so we can put html links inside.

    >

    I disagree about HTML within apps, but I would very much like a way to navigate to a different page within the app, so people could click something to go to another page.

    > And dunno if its possible but transparent background for app, so you can see the background of the website if specified, but that's secondary feature.

    >

    I would definitely like a transparent background. Is that even possible? Also, is it possible to overlay an html5 game over other webpage elements?

    1@ that's cool too, thought to do so you need either static or generated html link ^^'

    2@ yeah, you can give z-index to any absolutely positioned object. So i'm guesing it might work. thought with html input and button i'm not sure weater it's possible to not have background. As far as i know you can set opacity to those. I'll be doing tests soon anyway so i can let you know if it does work or not. But i think with js it should be possible.

  • Maybe it's been said, but support for html within apps would be great, so we can put html links inside.

    And dunno if its possible but transparent background for app, so you can see the background of the website if specified, but that's secondary feature.

  • I think PC gaming has a long way to shrink before it's smaller than the next biggest gaming market after consoles (whatever that is). In other words, PC gaming may be shrinking, but it's still huge.

    I agree. What I'm seying is that 2d games got bigger chance on mobile devices or virtual arcades.

  • I haven't taken a proper look at C2 because of the absence of an .exe exporter (let's not go over old ground, we've already been there), but I see no reason why C2 wouldn't be better than C1.

    They've learnt a lot whilst writing C1, and when all the features are in place I'm sure it will be great.

    I may even give it a try sometime, but probably not, because of the absence of....ahem.

    > the fact that pc gaming is shrinking

    >

    >

    Lol, the death of the old grey slab has been greatly exaggerated over the years.

    I remember about 10 years or so ago, we were being told that the PC was on it's way out by the media in every corner it seemed, and with the likes of Command & Conquer, PC games kept hitting the top of the charts.

    We saw a similar thing 4 or 5 years ago from the media, including the UK TV Teletext magazine "GameStation" where the PC was being given it's last rites.

    And now once again, no doubt from a narrow poll that doesn't reflect the full demographic, we hear that the PC will not survive the next generation of games consoles.

    Hmm, MineCraft anyone.

    Krush.

    I think you've missed the point in what i said. Pc gameing is shrinking and i gaved good reasons to support my opinion.

    edit@ MC is one of those exceptional games that can run quite smootly on very low end pc. Like mine. And because i can't aford ne rig every year, and have to stick with my 5 year old laptop I'm not plaing new games almost at all on pc. And there must be loads of people with specs like mine. Therefore games like wow and mc are keeping the platform alive.

  • I think C2 is shapeing very nicely. The interface is nicer and faster in compare to 0.x and html5 is a step in very good direction for many reasons. To list a few would be the fact that pc gaming is shrinking, majority of pc gamers rather play aaa titles since they invested in their machines quite a lot of money. Therfore 2d gameing shifted thorwards mobile devices like iphone and ipad and online arcades where 2d games have still got bigger chancees of being noticed not only by geeks ( thought even there you got unreal engine 3 running on those now, so the competition is getting tougher). So basicaly what I'm saing is that with html5 you can reach wider audiance. Besides that I'm preatty sure that more exporters will come with time, so you'll be able to create stand alone iPhone/iPad apps, exe and maybe even console versions ( I'm counting on it

    Now, I'm copying this from the other thread since i'm not sure how many people saw this, and it hink it can't be missed. The power of html5

  • In regards to lvl editor i whink the priority should be like this:

    • Brush sets: normal brush, spray, fill

    -tileset support

    -autotileset support

    tilesets are very efficient especiely if you want to keep size of of your game low.
