Thought I'd post this for those wanting info on what game developers are doing to support future multithreaded titles.

*Don't see how this thread can possibly devolve into a flame war, but waits to see one anyways*

Flaaaame....... no, just kidding. Intresting read clown man.

THIS IS THE BIGGES LOAD OF BS...just kidding nice find.

Nice find, Newell also needs to jump on the tread mill (getting kind of fat imo).

You missed the most important part of the article! The picture of the guns:

Got my vote.

Man, if I could quad-weild, nothing could stand in my way...

Looks to me the bottom weapon is a mini-gon, the one above it is a rocket launcher... the top one looks like a grenade launcher, wtf is the second one from the top... reminds me of a MP-5?

Anyways, the industry needs to help game developers out and lower the costs that come into making games... check out the twitch blog for some insightful comment...

Getting tired of games with shiat for story. I buy games for story, therefore Japanese games >> American games...

Name one good American RPG, and then name 5 good Japanese ones... I can do it right now:

Morrowind/Oblivion compared to FF1-12 (Okay, there are some repeats since they got re-released under diff names for english/jap versions, but you get the point...)

More guns= better game


Generally speaking of course lol.

It is easy. It will start when BaronBS will reply.

All we need to do is mention 4x4 and his fan-boy instincts will immediatly pick up the scent and bring him over here...

4x4

4x4

4x4

You here yet Baron?

Lets not do this.

Agreed

aww come on is fun... party poopers

this is very exciting. this is the next step in gaming technology and who would gess the best game developer is the one to step foward and take the lead in this. wwoooooooohhoooooooooo cant waight to see some games that take advantage of this ma be a few years but who cares if it is done right.

Now here is something I'm start a war on. Valve the best game developer? That title lies with only with Sqauresoft.

I am a counter-strike junkie. The news of multi-core support will greatly affect what and when my next upgrade will be. If they come out with the multi-core support soon I will probably scrap my Christmas list and go for a new dual-core proc to replace my Athlon 64 3200+ (single core).

It's hard to see past CS when you play it 12 hours per day (and by day I mean night )

Friday night + CS:S + Mountain Dew = All fun and no sleep!

It depends on what kind of gamer you on. You have your RPG gamers, your FPS gamers, your RTS gamers, even you sim gamers...

RPG wise, Japan has us beat, we can't even come close. The whole FF series, Grandia II, Zelda, Dragon Quest series... what do we have that can match them? Maybe Morrowind or Oblivion at best, but the story is nowhere close to what they have...

FPS, RTS, and Sim's US has the greatest influence... for FPS, I would have to give that honor to either Valve with HL2 or the Battlefield series

RTS... Westwood pioneered it with Command and Conquerer, but Total Annihalation and Starcraft gets honorable mentions...

Sim... Maxis... and only Maxis
