I started a project with pretty much the exact same goal ages back but I never got round to finishing it. Its great to see that others have the same idea. Ill upload my files when I can. most of which are in autodesk or 3ds format.
Ah ok ill upload them as soon as I can find a sata cable (wont take long :P) and my copy of nulldc works a charm for model ripping, (cant help but feel their must be a way to decompile all the gibberish on the disk and access the files directly im gonna look into that and write something to do that as soon as I can to).
Well ive been dying to know but no-one seems to know what engines and softwares ect ect where used in the first two games, A certain they know who they are :P asked me to make a lucky hit flash game for teamyu.net, now we all know flash is terrible for realtime physics so ive got a real challenge ahead of me if im gonna live up to shenmue 2. ive looked at tonnes of realtime and none of it no matter who or what can live up to shenmue 2's lucky hit. seems odd but Ive ran massive realtime physics from passing spacecraft to golf balls on my pc and nothing can beat lucky hits realtime physics. even sega's current games which graphically and physically outperform anything today (Dont believe my try running anything they've made recently on your PC :P). anyways, what im trying to say is nothing will outperform shenmue 1 and 2 unless their made with the same effort and love and imperfection tat they were over 12 years ago., no matter what they do even if they are better they wont be, and thats why I want to know more on their making. (And Manchester city rules :P)
Ive been thinking of the exact same question and sometimes I wonder if shenmue 3 will be the game we know and love or tainted by the current video game cod audience.
Finding out about oddworld new n tasty, oddmob are basically remaking all the old oddworld games giving them a re amp like many of us hoped for shenmue. :mrgreen: (Just for the record are their any oddworld fans here besides me)? http://www.hookedgamers.com/images/4872/oddworld_abes_oddysee_new_n_tasty/screenshot_pc_oddworld_abes_oddysee_new_n_tasty007.jpg
I have no degrees or training in anything 3D or 2D, programming or anything real computer wise with experience and its my main strength. I make sligs and busses :P (WIP :P) Thats it really. wip and a kobe tower ill dig out later. http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd493/mrslig100/sliggg.png
What I love most about the film is that it was shot on a 65mm imax camera, which uses about 300 feet of film per minute of shooting. An imax camera like most 16mm to 70mm cameras can only hold about 1000 feet of film and 1000 feet really is the larges amount you can by in commercial stock http://www.filmstockclearance.com/ Now a good reel of 35mm film costs at a bare minimum price in excess of £100. Now for 65mm film (Not commercial 70mm 65mm) thats gonna cost you in excess of £300 per three minutes of shooting. Thats £100 a minute just for film and they shot 72 hours on it!, not to mention that imax's 65mm film cameras are the best in the world and come with a best-camera-in-the-world rental price and the dark knight team broke one of only 4 in existence in a stunt fail and where probably billed millions for the damage to the camera coz their not cheap things! Because of this cost hollywood is trying to force many cinemas and film crews to shoot with and play back on DV instead of celluloid and almost all film crews and cinemas have reacted Violently to this. And the fact that today many directors (Excluding cunts like james cameron [-X ) have recognised the value of this is what has given me hope that the world isnt too fucked. http://timesofnews.co/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/28020_IMAXBeleivingPfisterCameraBigtsr1.jpg :beerchug:
Actually while im in a double posting mood, hows this: Its a old .nif model I got from munch's oddysee that ive been redoing. You run a graphics company, give me some harsh criticism to improve it. http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd493/mrslig100/slig.png Do bear in mind I have no qualification, 2 moths experience and its still wip :P
in 95% the 360 is smoother in performance and got a lot sharper graphics also the service for gaming/ online gaming is a lot better on the xbox http://i.imgur.com/7tk5n.png I own both (Well the ps3 was from a carboot) and EVERY game ive played in my opinion is better on the ps3 because of jjust about every reason you can think of. :king: But thats just my opinion we'll need a few more opinions to decide :P
What about tor anonymous browser, I only use it for every now and then but as its derived off of an integrated version of Firefox its exactly the same but switches you though various proxies every time you use it. No proxy connection lag at all!
Can I just ask why do all forums hate old topics so much or off topic, It just makes them feel like politically correct prison yards and just horrible dictating places to be. I love forums that like old topics or off topics. Am I the only one?
Well ive downloaded sega all stars racing and what a game! Love it. And sweet f-ing jesus, here I was thinking of making ryo more graphically impressive and playing the game i real time graphics I see just how unnecessary that it, lovely shaders (Especially in direct X11) They have completely mastered bump mapping and specularity (Well I think thats the word for it) looks fantastically realistic, but still fits in with the vibrant toon world that the game looks like. I was blown away with astonishment and look forward to nicking bits of it in various projects mashups n stuffs :P
That is what your mom, sister, cousin and niece said last night when I plowed it to their asses said. Oh and keep in mind they didn't want you to know what I did to them as some of the positions i TOLD them to do is illegal in some countries. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/250x250/32867860.jpg
I love photography :D That shot makes that car look MOTIONLESS! completly! not 1 pixel blurred! how you got it that perfect it way beyond me unless you used one hell of a flash :shock: I use a canon D20 and whatever lenses wash up on the carboots :P Unlike capturing stillness in motion I do almost the opposite, I try to paint with motion through long exposure. I shoot whenever I have the opportunity, Photography's mah passion :P I usual take photo's without setting up shots because If i do I feel I may miss them but I always set up at least 2 when I go out. (And jpeg is a terrible format ;) ) http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd493/mrslig100/Picture043_zps107b691a.jpg
