Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Clearly you haven't played one long enough to get used to it? Which is, like, what? Everyone does?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Xbox 360 controls have good buttons and triggers but holding the control feels awkward at times. (Probably cuz of the battery pack)

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

The Wii controller was nice, a really good idea they had there. But:

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Get a wired controller,
THEY HAVE NO BATTERY PACKS.

+100000000000000000000000000000% Agree. For shooters I will be a PC gamer for life. Although MNC will make me have to turn on a 360.....I cringe at the thought...

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

The Xbox controllers are great for shooters the thing that makes them funky is the control stick layout and the shape, but the mouse and keyboard are always better than a controller. But i like both so for me it really comes down to which console i think the game feels best on.

Which kinda brings me to my first question.

Will there be cross-platform play for MNC? seeing as it's quite apparent that there's going to be a PC version of the game at some point.

And lastly Hello! i'm new and really looking forward to the game

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Are you going to change the Assault's automatic stapler gun sounding gun?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I like how it sounds now.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Final audio,mix and balance comes in last. Things will sound better when you play the finished game.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Oh my God...do you actually exist?

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Personally, I am a console girl. I started with consoles, and the PC feels very very awkward to me.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

My first PC was a phenomenal 486 DX2 with 50 MHz and 8MB RAM, before that I had an Amiga 500 (I skipped the C64). Back in the day we were running DOS and had to rewrite parts of the autoexec.bat to run games. It was a tough fight to load enough drivers into the upper memory blocks to clear enough room (about 640kb) in the conventional memory sometimes. Games came on 5,25" and 3,5" floppy discs or their source code was printed in magazines and had to be copied by hand. Nobody had ever heard of 3D accelerator cards, let alone shiny, magic disks that could store incredible 700MB of data or more. Good times.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Ok let's play.

My first computer was a TI-99/4A. This baby booted up to whacked out TI basic and it also took cartridges. I was poor and only owned a couple of them so I used to spend my time programming it instead. I also couldn't save my programs (well it sorta worked on tape sometimes). So instead I wrote down my programs in a binder and re-typed them when I wanted to check them out.

After that I got an Amiga 500 which I only had for about a year.

My first PC was an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 (10Mhz). I played lots of cool games like space quest, kings quest (which later in life I got to work on in a roundabout way) and a bunch of other cool PC games of the era.

The first PC that I bought for myself was a 486-33Mhz from Fastec when I was in high school. I used that to ship my first game...

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I don't even remember the specs of my first comp...

I was like 4-5 years old and did nothing but sit there and play starcraft all day...yeah...I was a bit obsessed

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

I have a laptop.

My device is inferior by default.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

The main machine I used for the first year of MNC development was a laptop. I still use it as my primary machine at home.

It eventually got too slow for development as the game progressed so now I use the standard dev machine here (Core i7 920 2.66, 12GB ram, SSD drive and a geforce 9800gt).

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

lol yea, I don't care for the 360 the slightest bit, MNC will become the exception.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

Okay, I have to ask neutrino. what is it with game developers and Nvidia? You barely see any game advertising ATI and some even fail to test ATI graphic cards (GTA4). In my experience ATI cards are often cheaper, run cooler use less energy and are as fast as Nvidia models. Not to mention that they released DX11 cards way sooner.

Re: The Unofficial Official Q&A Thread

especially since i've heart ATI is a lot better with working with developers (sending test-boxes and such) over nvid, just seems odd to me...
