  1. I havnt tried it for myself but this game has been praised by just about everyone. GameTrailers gave it the biggest suprise of 2010.
  2. Thanks to all for voting. We really appreciate all the support from our fans! Thank you!
  3. I got the same card, it may struggle a bit here and there, but it'll be fine.
  4. Black Dawn is a single player demo, and to have news every month or so would reveal way too much and spoil the experiance, so thats why its better to keep people in the dark, and just give small hints every now and then.
  5. Or would I? nah... I could never. But then again...
  6. Cool. Nuke looks very pretty on islands.
  7. It isnt Havoc89's fault. The missile is supposed to appear the moment EVA starts counting down, but is delayed a little bit. So that causes the missile to not reach the target before the explosion is triggered.
  8. Haha, yeah I remember we had all the servers full before we officially released. I also remember seeing over 200 people online on the forums. Haha, that was a very memorable day!
  9. Dunno if I should be glad or embarrassed.
  10. Some tweaking can be done yes. However I think the whole thought of smoothness is sorta the opposite. All the vehicles in ren seem to have next to no grip, they dont seem to have any sort of weight or feel to them, the physics were almost non existant. I prefer the ren-x vehicles on the count of they all feel like you're driving something that has weight, and feels grippy. None the less though, some tweaks will be made because it does sometime seem to turn too sharp.

    That will be returning, and quite possbily so much more.
  12. Been a while dude. Good to see you around.
  13. There is no such thing as one program being better then the other. Every program can do everything, some specifically do better at some things then the other, while others focus on only one thing in particular. It is ultimately up to you to determine what program you want to use, and what is best for the job at hand. It is really a matter of personal choice. Dont let someone else tell you that this program is better then this other one, even if they may have a point, it is ultimately up to you and what you're comfortable with. But it is your responsibility to keep up with the industry and be able to identify the purposes and practical uses of each program. Almost all the time, you will need to use a combination of applications to get the job done. So dont think that there is one magical program that can do everything very well.
  14. I dont think I've ever used dodge and burn tools for concept art. I start by laying down the base colours, then figuring out the colour of the lighting (ambient, direct, and bounced). Then I start by choosing a lighter and darker colours of the base colours for light and shadows, which take into account the colour of the lighting, once that is done, then using various brushes with various opacity levels, I would paint in all of the larger detailed things, and slowly get to smaller details. Ofcource the more smaller details a part of the scene has, the more focus it will grab, so knowing what areas to have more details and less details is also very important. Another really important thing to keep note of when making concept art is to always use real world references. Using other concept art as references isnt a good idea because the artists who would have made that piece may not have fully understood everything, and may not have used proper references. Sure you can use other concept art for inspiration, but it is generally not a good idea to use a concept art as your main source of reference. If you want to make concept art, get a tablet, doesnt have to be a very expensive high end tablet, I use a simple $80 tablet, and it works for me. Also always get critiques, ALWAYS! Good luck buddy.
  15. Yeah I too accessed it from CNCNZ's front page. It was the first splash screen article. Still is actually.
  16. I wouldnt say that he is a genious. Any ut3 package will work in the udk, since the format is literally the same just with a different name. The problem lies in that not being allowed. Epic has only granted indie games that are free to be able use what is present in the udk (because that is also free), and nothing else from ut3 in their games. Why do you think we havnt ported the mod over so quickly? If we were allowed to do that, we could have had RenX UDK in a matter of hours. Think about it, we would end up using content from a comercial game in our free game, which would be highly distasteful. The one really important point is that Epic has already granted people making free indies to be able use a chunk of the content avaliable in their commercial game, without any draw backs. Doing such a thing would be a stupid move on our behalf because it would mean us getting sued. It is pretty much exactly like stealing other people's work. And I dont want to see custom maps being built that way. Anyways, all that aside, back to topic. A lot of good guesses, some are very close to the truth, but no one has really solved the riddle. Come on people, I know you can do it, it isnt that difficult.
  17. Worry not folks, you guys have no idea what is coming your way.
  18. Just hold tight, I know it has been a few months since our last update, but it is almost here.
  19. Since I got my copy for free I decided to play the campaign. My god was it crap. I actually thought that the story would be some what decent, but it was literally nothing. Here you have this great story that has taken over a decade to be built, and it only takes a few idiots a year to make a conclusion that says, "Oh... well we cant think of anything to make a good conclusion and answer all the questions; so we're just gonna fuck up everything by closing the story completely and not answer anything." It was honestly a "and then everyone lived happily ever after" sort of an ending that was so shit. And yet they were saying that they were gonna answer all the questions, yet they were self contradictory with the story. It was almost as if they completely ignored C&C3 and KW as well because there was nothing about legion or anything. Just watch the trailer, and you'll see the entire story because there is nothing more to it. For fuck sakes how stupid do you have to be? Stupid morons!

    Hero units

    QUOTE (epicelite @ Mar 3 2010, 07:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you ever read your ideas? Having hero units is not a bad idea, it would definatly add something to the mix. Not sure how it can work out but one thing when we were discussing a few new game mode possibilites we did think of a similar system where such a thing could be implimented. Though nothing is really final at all, so dont get your hopes up.
