Lets add motion blur and bloom and other artificial unrealistic gimmick. No matter how crap the textures and lightning were, the game that has these amazingly advanced features becomes automatically Next Gen(tm).
consoles were made to game anyways, about the motion blur, i know the vid was posted before but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTfmvJ6ob1k theres no visible motin blur in it.
I don't care about any motion blur if it finds it's way into the game as long as there's the option to leave it the eff off. TBH though, the blur really does look like motion blur since it seems to radiate from the centre.
Which would be great if anyone else thought it would be - once again you posted the first thought on your mind for a bigger ePeen and then as you got flamed for being an idiot you then cleared it up for everyone else who thought the same (i.e. no-one).
Seriously just re-read your posts and ask "am I making a contribution to this thread, or am I posting for the sake of posting?"
Stay where you are. There's no reason to leave or stop posting. If you genuinely want to address any perceived issues, I recommend doing what I do. I read more than I post, and I read before I post. And before I CLICK post, I read what I wrote. I ask myself "does my post have any value?" If the answer is that it doesn't, I either don't post or I find a way to make my post worth reading for someone else. Sometimes it really is better to remain silent and be regarded a fool.
Way back in history quite a few posts of mine show "[edited to add value]" where I've posted, thought "Bah.. looks like spam" and made an effort to fix it. I've recommended the same to others, and it seems to have worked for them. Maybe try it
Don't you mean it's better to remain silent than be regarded a fool?
I completely agree with your post and usually do the same myself. Not seldom do I type a post, then read it again before submitting, and just cancel the whole thing because I find it doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
Sorry for OT, but actually, that is possible on a few SE phones. One of my friends loves modding his Sony Ericcson, there is a lot of websites from where you can download modded "bios" for your phone, but of course you need a special cable to be able to use it.
In fact it's hard to find the interesting posts between the cell phone conversation and the discution about how and when post ... What was the first topic? mhh, can't remember. It shouldn't be that important ...
