Can I just say that I'm having some health problems at the moment that mean I haven't been able to do much for a while but watching the presentation PiP while reading this thread has been amazing. It was worse than I think really any of us expected. Lol

I'm sorry about your health problems but I am glad you enjoyed this moment in video game failure history.

If only Milliband had eaten a vegan sausage roll instead of a bacon sandwich, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Have you worked on a large project at a major corporation before? Have you ever seen the timetables on major construction projects?

This is SOP for a project manager.

This was a reply in reference to how it's loving ridiculous that they continually put out 'best case possible' timetables and achievables and made up gantt charts.


Apparently every PM always assumes the best and then when things go wrong will continue to assume the best, with absolutely no lead times or flex or slack or anything but perfection assumption.

To be honest, it would probably work just as well. It's kind of a neat technology, but the implementation sucked. The characters looked like muppets.

How often are you going to be face to face with another player? Less than 1% of the time? And most of that with a helmet on. It's the wrong game to put it in. It is a total waste of development resources, server resources and client bandwidth. It would be really fun in some sort of face to face social game.

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
I'm fascinated to learn what this RSI Webcam will cost. Faceware's website is still down, but in looking at cached pages it appears they only sell very high end products - as in, the cheapest hardware is a desktop GoPro setup for $2,000.

now presumably the webcam will be using much cheaper parts than a typical GoPro and will be priced accordingly, but still, I think this thing could be $200+

The PS4 camera has two cameras pushing (at minimum) 720p60 and four microphones for 40 pounds. I cannot speak to how much extra a high resolution glass lens adds on though, because up to now cameras have used pretty low resolution glass.
