Whoa. DTS posts something not shit. Today is a day of days, indeed.


Does the guy...really....have to keep....pausing....as he....talks though.
It's starting.....to really.....get annoy....ing.

Also, it would be nice if some of the footage was actually representative of what was being said. Here's Doom 3, built around it's lighting and shadows, but we're not gonna turn the flashlight on once to show this 'cos I cannae be arsed so here's some randomly scraped footage. He skipped Model 2 entirely, as well as much else. I liked it, but it's more a collection of verses for a choir that already, or at least once knew them, than actually informative, both historically and technically.


look again, the Doom 3 flashlight was used ;)

this must be why media people without a clue were heralding the arrival of 'photo-realistic' games

ten fucking years ago

i wonder why they took the Q3 footage of Campgrounds from the night time version, where you have to use the Oculus Rift echolocation mod to see players?
