It's yet another day in the wasteland.

Klyith posted:

It's amazing how history has given full context to Romero & Daikatana as "dumb, but not actually criminal or even completely incompetent when you think about it". After all they managed to ship multiple games before they died. 50% of them weren't terrible even! The people at the top were arrogant and terrible at their jobs of being corporate executives, but at least they knew how to make a game.

It was a crazy trainwreck at the time, but now on a honest list of the stupidest & most expensive blunders in videogames they wouldn't even make the top 5.

Yeah, I think it has been said a couple of times already in the thread, but Romero is probably by far the greatest beneficiary from this whole project. After well over a decade of being “the guy who once made a great game and then pissed it all away”, he will finally, not so much hand over the crown as hire a crack team of rocketeers to send the crown into the stratosphere. That's how far the new king and title holder has surpassed him.

His relief must be palpable. :haw:

Yeah, and they can spin up all the computers at Google Compute Engine or Amazon Web Services or the "cloud" or whatever so they have supercomputers worth of processing power at their disposal.

So it's gonna get cracked any minute now.

For a while, I didn't care about the money I dropped on this game, because I've spent money on worse things.

Just finally bothered to request a refund out of principle.

And yet another person I spoke with, made a point that I had missed. If you look in the script, there are some unintelligible strings. These are likely linked to game scripts and or code that indicates where that dialog happens. Such strings are also found in some localization resources.
Yeah I suspect the cues are for animation files. Cryengine uses Track View to create it's cutscenes and this is done via a WYSIWYG timeline editor, a bit like Source Filmmaker.
And yes there is a non-skippable toggle box.

Also Track View can render out in-game scenes into an image sequence to import into another program. So it's why you kind of have to treat "in-game graphics" with a fair pinch of salt. While it may be the case you are looking at something that potentially is made up of several chunk of scenes stitched together in post.

Huh? No ever pronounced Kage as "Cage."

Matthew Cox posted:

"During a meeting I explained to John that I was working on the end-game cinematics with Kage [the antagonist]. I pronounced it 'Cage.' Romero giggled. 'Who? What? What are you working on?' I said it again. Now everyone was laughing at me. Romero: 'Who? Say it again!' Me: 'Um ... Kage?' Romero: 'No, dude! It's pronounced Kah-gee!' Me: 'Um ... well, you better check the voiceover recordings, because it's 'Cage.' And suddenly Romero's face turned white. Half the audio in the game had his name pronounced wrong, and it was too late to fix."

Thing is, Unity does so much work for you, it's hard not to make good progress. I just went to the unity store, picked out a package that had all these prefabs designed to make a "sci-fi interior," paid 25 bux, downloaded/imported it, and got to work. Took me about 2 hours to go from zero to this.

And that's the key: picking the right tools for the job makes all the difference, imo.
