- GravitySpec, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Wow... an outbreak of retarded comments. Did anyone bother to notice that this an interview with the artist? It's a good read about how someone with artistic ability worked his way into the gaming industry. But no... all I hear is "GOW great/sux... blah blah blah". Try to stay on track people... oh wait, Digg -_-
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Besides...who plays a game with the camera really up close to an object noticing the textures anyways?
- AmericanEmpire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That guy has some exemplary skills. Congratulations and we wish you further success.....
- pixelate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7This was just their first attempt at doing a full game with the Unreal Engine 3 on the 360... I'm sure the decision to use those textures was made for a reason.
Bottom line is the game looks stunning 95% of the time (normal view distance, far view distance) with generally excellent framerates, and if they had to sacrifice some of the close-up visual fidelity on characters to accomplish this, I think we're all OK with that. They'll probably improve on the texture work for UT3 or Gears of War 2, but for a first effort they blew everyone away. - JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Are you a developer? Are you a coder? Do you know the innards of the 360 and what the engine is capable of versus what needs to be loaded into the memory?
Didn't think so...now stop whining. - heavyness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4very good story. doesn't matter if you liked the game or not, Gears of War's art is hands down, awesome. very talented people over there at Epic.
- tonich03, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Cgtalk is such an awesome place, really. It's been a while I don't hang around there. Check the galleries, there is some awesome 3D/2D stuff.
- Snappywave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Cool... I would love to see more bio on modelers who did character modeling for Metal Gear Solid, Zelda TTP, Resident Evil remake and especially more Japanese modelers cause they are so difficult to track down. They are probably ninjas without names.
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yea def...I would love to see that kind of stuff. I have a feeling getting that kind of stuff out of the Japanese might be kind of hard though. American and EU game artist seem to have no problem showing off that kind of stuff though.
- ohsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2zbrush.... u r amazing little fella ;-)
- omgroffles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Did this guy seriously model Marcus after himself? I mean look at them.
- blackpanther2, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1Badass Kevin!
- MBostonS, on 10/12/2007, -8/+9The 3D models are some of the best I've seen. It's too bad the game never came out for the PC the graphics would have been amazing. I'll just have to wait for Crysis to come out and get my visual fix.
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Indeed...some of the stuff people produce in their competitions are just ungodly.
...but of course I'm sure if any of it was posted on here you would have the usual snobs saying that it sucks and not give any real criticism. - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Gears of War is coming to the PC.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157194 - tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's great about this story is that he followed his dreams all the way from the start and made it big, I support that and I applaud Kevin Lanning for achieving his childhood dream.
- dn11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1doom 3 sucked, get over it. unreal 3 engine > than anything id has put out in years
- HBNDonut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Gears Of War looks like a freaking oil painting! Its the most beautiful game I have ever played. I just hope they make the gameplay a little less repetitive in the next one.
You know what I hate? Cliffy B thinking he's some kind of cool big shot celebrity and telling us all about his social life and love life the whole way through the GoW bonus disc. I hate that guy lol. I wanna know about the damn game! Just like that video up there, game details. Not about your freakin Girlfriend leaving you... I dont even know you for Gods sake!
Just thought I'd throw that in there lol. - malier721, on 02/10/2008, -0/+0gezz hurry up people GOW rocks malier http://www.GEEKENJOYMENT.INFO http://www.GEEKSMART.INFO
- xr1140, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0unfortunately
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Who the hell is digging me down?
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Calm down..."eventually" doesn't mean "yes it will come out." For all we know they may never get around to it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Noice! Now I can see a movie being possible now.
- HBNDonut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"enemy names so ungodly dorky that you can't say them in real life. Troikas? Corpser?"
LOL, man that made me laugh. It's true though. - padlock7, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Awesome. I do appreciate a good monster
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2poop
- amr233, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Gears of War is the greatest game ever!
- JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23ds max FTW! I can always tell when stuff is made in the same program that I use ^_^
- doubleyoube, on 10/12/2007, -11/+6I think it was quite effective, in the same way that the MGS series has always looked dirty.. Contrary to what some people seem to think, the 360 and consoles in general are not all powerful beast machines, and the job that epic did on it was amazing given the rather limited power of the platform.
- dreadstar, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Just uber immortal, I believe
- thecatisdead, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2oooooooooo
- halik, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Oh yeah the models were well made and the game graphics and engine are great... but it just feels like an over-the-top generic shooter to me. It tried to do many things and exceled at none.
- DesiGUY, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1The monster in the pic looks like one(monster Persian warrior) in movie "300"... damn, dont rem his name?
- doubleyoube, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4sense making. no you are
- billib, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3nice, creative /.kill
- eezzzz, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2But I'm told the PC isn't capable of that sort of thing :(
- gen2ux, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7I'll be one of the only ones who will agree with you.
Not saying that He isn't skilled...just the game is kinda stupid. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -17/+6GOW SUCKS,.,, GET POKEMON.. A REAL MANS GAME.
- halik, on 10/12/2007, -17/+5I think I might be only one, but I really dislike that game.
The combination of over-the-top models (trying to be Doom3, but so over the top that it's almost comical), death-defying opponents (how many rounds can 200lb thing take?) and finally the enemy names so ungodly dorky that you can't say them in real life. Troikas? Corpser?
I think the game is trying to be Halo, Doom and Soldiers of Fortune all at the same time... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -23/+4They might be skilled modelers at Epic but they spoiled the game by plastering them with low resolution blurry as hell textures. They tried covering this up with bloom but get close to any object and you'll see the mess.
