6. 3DGamers password display May 4, 2004, 12:47 Tom
 
On 3DGamers the whole thing is underlined, so you can't see the underscores in the password... it's GTR_Press_Demo, not "GTR Press Demo"

That lawsuit against HardOCP was dropped? When did that happen? Got a URL? There doesn't seem to be any news about it on the HardOCP site...

Yes, Red Storm Rising was a great book that could be excellent for a game... could anything do justice to its scope, though?

That story about Russia and the space station requires registration, and the usual bluesnews and hudsondog accounts don't work ...

Before there were any map editors for Quake, I wrote a random map generator. It was pretty cool - random planes floating around in space...

15. Re: FIVE and a half gigs? Mar 15, 2004, 12:36 Tom
 
5 and a half gigs insall? Are they NUTS? Anyone know of any other game that requires that much or more?

Who cares, when you can get a 200GB drive for $80 now? It's about time games started pushing beyond the typical 1-2GB of disk usage. 5.5GB is easily surpassed by a small movie, anime, or [decent-sized] MP3 collection.

Game installation sizes haven't kept up with disk sizes if you look back a bit. Wing Commander 2 w/ Speech Pack and Special Operations 1 and 2 was 26MB. Back then you were doing good with a 40MB hard drive! Or maybe a little later on, 150MB, which was really nice. Let's say you had a 150MB drive. So WC2 would take 26/150 = 17.3% of the drive. Now let's say you have a dinky little 40GB drive on your gaming PC of today. 17.3% of that is 7GB! 17.3% of a 200GB drive is 34GB!!

Games are supposed to push the envelope. As long as the space isn't wasted on stupid stuff, and there aren't 50,000 little files, they're on the right track IMO.

And yes – we have both Ewoks and Gungans in the game. What happens to them is up to the players.
