You should DEFINATELY check out the book "Opening the X-Box". I picked it up last week, and I'm about 2/3 of the way through it. So far it's a fascinating read. Moreso than Game Over, or Phoenix, or Ultimate History this book goes WAY in depth on the development of a single console. You'd be surprised at what goes into these things...

It's on my list. I just finished "The Ultimate History of Video Games." And currently I'm reading "Game Over," which I got for two dollars!!! Then I'll pick up "Opening the XBOX," and "High Score."

Thanks for the recomend.

An excellent read for that (or any) price. I'm just getting to the end now.

They're just building the preliminary hardware for the NES now.

I agree. Great read so far. It can only get better!

They do carry High Score and The Ultimate History. Opening the XBOX I have yet to see, and I didn't look for Game Over, as I bought from my local EB... for two dollars!!!

i really do think were going to hit a point soon when more polys are not going to matter even now most character models are pretty damn smooth with the polys were using now

I have to say one of the things i find the most dissapointing are textures even in the Xbox Wreckless shots theres some textures like that off the grass in the one shot that are just the same shitty grass texture deelopers have been using for years

its like if you look at the car and the buildings in that shot they look great but then you see the grass and it kills it
it doesnt look like grass it loks like a bunch of varrying green dots easily done with a simple fractal

i think thats why im so impressed with Resident Evil they dont ignore the little things

[Dyne]

yeah but the thing about Resident Evil is that the camera is static and there's far less movement and characters being updated each frame. also the bg's are rendered. at any given time theres mebbe, what 4 characters tops in a room? wreckless is just insane. loads of people running, loads of cars in the street, buildings....all on the fly. and i agree about the poly point you made. clever use of textures and bump mapping will be what makes things look better. we wont need to waste 500 polys on an arm when 100 with BM'ing and good texture use will get the job done.
