No. That is not true. I am not worried at all
This discussion is still nonsense, sorry to say that. But Sebcrea made the best point here. He is creating a first person shooter. This is not a tetris or a kids game with little toon characters.
So he can do what he currently does and this is good. You can make your 3d puzzle game for the fixed function pipeline but why do you generalize your opinion so much?

/signed You always should go for the maximum! I cheer Gratz and salutes to sebcrea and your team. Incredible stuff, looks just fantastic! I like the effect on your plants, makes them nearly realistic. Im looking forward to play this game once a day. Good work! Keep going. cheers Zwecklos PS for the comparison your plants with "plastique or wax", I would take this as a big complement because the materials "plastique and wax" are used to fake plants in real life

sorry, I hate it to go offtopic, but this is realy worse: here in america, a stock pc's specs is this:
AMD Sepron 3100+ (1.80 Ghz, 256 mb l2 cache)
AMD??? Lol, AMD is the most shitty processor I know. THey are weak and expensive and have s%@!" fake names. They get hot as fast as a toaster. I must say, for some sad reason I have an AMD processor in my notebook, which is heating up my hands right now like crazy.
:L

which is simply not true. if you made experience with a bad notebook cooling, bad for you, but as a AMD desktop user since 2002 i did never regret the choice. they are named the way they are, and they give the power of the number they are named after, which is what counts. is "pentium D 620" a name that expresses something in your mind? i never had a cooling issue with the cpu. even with the boxed coller, everything runs fine in winter as well as in midsummer. so your 2 "reasons" are none at all.
i'd not buy a sempron, sure, but for the same reason i wouldn't buy a celeron. you can't expect the full power fro a striupped down cheap product. you only get what you pay for.

blah blah blah,
"i think with my revolutionary new age thinking that its the gameplay that should given priority than the graphics!"
No shi_t sherlock. You can write a book about this new idea.
Of course gameplay should be given priority, but your forgetting that this is a VIDEO game, and the word "video" entails VISUALS meant for the EYE. If you can optimize the game to have a billion shaders then by all means DO IT. No one is going to complain if you have a billion shaders running if the game is running smooth, am I right?
This stupid argument pops up everytime someone posts screens of their game, and from screens that look fantastic... like LIVED.
Your game screens look amazing, hands down. You should take it as a compliment that people think the gameplay will be shallow cause graphics are awsome. Thats because they automatically assume that if one aspect of your game is excellent, then other aspects of your game should, by logic, be deficient.
Even though I dont like the tired style of "lets make every surface metal, with gratings and patches and nuts and bolts, and put some grime and add some bump maps", your game screens still look great.
You're not as unique as you think you are, try again.

who said I was talking about that style in this forum only? Theres a whole nuther world outside of this forum, and we all know that. You just proved my point," All the new Unreal3 powered games and Crysis do not use the specularity metal effects so intense like the first games did". The first ones did use this type, constantly, as you just said. Most of these screens have that. Whose saying they are ugly screens because of my taste?
And how can you disagree with my taste? "Even though I dont like the tired style", yet I said the game looks fantastic. ANd no Im not a hypocrit, for example, you dont have to like anime to appreciate the style. You could use the "If it aint broke, dont fix it" quote.
Back on topic:
I just wanted to know if that early screen showing the soldier tending to the soldier on the floor is happening in real time? Like hes a medic soldier healing a squadmate whose health dropped real low. You dont see alot of that happening in non-cutscene gameplay, looks cool.
You're not as unique as you think you are, try again.

Your taste is just your personal matter. To be brutal honestly: I don't care much about it. But you present it here in a public forum and for me it sounded a bit disrespected. There were no appreciation at all as if you could do all that better than the artists out there
You said: "lets make every surface metal, with gratings and patches and nuts and bolts, and put some grime and add some bump maps"
That sounds not like appreciation. It sounds like it could be done in a few minutes, easy dumb stuff, you could do it if you would like that style but hey, fortunately you don't like it.
I did it myself and I know that it can be a hard job to create textures in a commercial way: http://www.dexsoft-games.com/scifi.html
Though I may be wrong but it would be better sometimes to show more appreciation and respect. That is my taste in this case. And I appreciate a lot in this world.

Wake up, I hate to interrupt, but you're dreaming, we're not using the Unreal3 engine here. Besides, everyone who would like to play your game, but can't because of some shader 4.0 hardware torture, won't buy.
Cheers
