Well, futuo actually, but fuck doesn't even begin to describe the vulgarity of Latin cursewords. It's too bad English can't even come close to capturing that because they're shockingly good -or bad- depending on how you look at it and a lot more creative and quite detailed in terms of imagery. It's almost a literal art form. Compared to Latin cursewords, I would say English is probably rated PG.

Too funny ;)

Rome was an amazing TV show. The best HBO has ever done and far better than the Sopranos and far better than trash like True Blood that so many people eat it up or boring ass shows like Six Feet Under or Boardwalk Empire. It was movie-like quality in a TV series, with fantastic characters and actors, and was originally only supposed to be a mini-series to boot. It failed because HBO spent an insane amount of money on the sets that it could never realistically make back unless it was even bigger than the Sopranos. But it wasn't because of its violence or sex, which was nowhere near as disgusting as something like Oz and that went on for a few seasons. Not to mention HBO failed to promote it. Cheap sets like True Blood or the Sopranos bring in a lot more profit than something like Rome.

You can't be serious.

Personally I'm fine with substituting some of the gore for more sex. Games definitely need more sex. Too much violence, not enough sex. Kind of how I feel about the USA as a whole.

Besides, strippers need work too.

GoW introduced nudity and sex?

So I came -no pun- across this at GAF...

“This is an action game in which players assume the role of Marius Titus, a Roman soldier who seeks revenge for the slaying of his family. Players use swords and spears to kill barbarian hoards in frenetic melee-style combat. Battles are highlighted by slow-motion and blood-splatter effects; enemies are frequently impaled, decapitated, and dismembered. Some environments depict bloody limbs and dismembered corpses on spikes. Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: caged soldiers burned alive; a character repeatedly stabbed with a knife. During the course of the game, female characters are sometimes depicted topless (e.g., pasties over breasts; covered in body paint). One brief sequence depicts a dancer bending down in front of a man (fellatio is implied)—there is no depiction of the sex act. The word “f**k” can be heard in the game.”

Realism, skin shaders and that full body animation.......Pervs! Formation!

Can't see why this hasn't been demoed yet. What's up with that Crytek? We've seen enough manly men in tunics and chopped off arms. Why you holding back the goods? I wanna see the next-gen ass and boobs with so much jiggle it will make the Butt Jiggle forum posters blush.

It really does make one wonder if that part was completely, full body motion captured as well....Hey, it's all in the name of realism and historical accuracy. Romans were some raw freaks if Rome is anything to go off of.

Yeah that is true. But I was remembering there a story a little while ago about somebody selling Nintendo copyrighted stuff on Windows Store and MS basically saying Nintendo needs to put in a request. So I was thinking maybe it's not so monitored.

Nintendo ripoffs are common place on mobile marketplaces, but as of late, it seems as though a flood of such games have hit the Windows Store. Mario Jump!, Bowser Town Defense, Pokemon Attack!, and Yoshijump have all been spotted, none of which should be permitted due to their violation of the rules.

“With regards to trademark infringement, with every app there is an option to report the app for violating the Windows Store’s Terms of Use. If a company feels a Windows Store app is infringing on their copyrights or trademarks, they should report the app and we will take immediate action to determine if the app should be removed from the Windows Store.”

I mean stuff like that got by too.

Yeah, a cheek jiggle is out of place. ;)

And that's multiplayer which as I understand is outsourced and more of a tacked on mode. Crytek is only doing the single player. Although I hear that's been upgraded too since. We haven't seen that in the latest build. That's also still using the old shading model as well as lighting. Notice the dark shadows which have since been softened up.

TLOUS looks great at times, but I don't think they're even close, and a lot of times it still looks very much robotic and gamey. You have't seen anything better than this?

Really? Look closer then. And Ryse isn't great in just facial but full body animations.

Everything just looks as it should. Very natural.

KZ looks great too, but it uses a lot of LOD levels, and the low detail LOD models, especially for objects like trees and buildings, are pretty evident at times further away from the camera. Something I have not seen in any Ryse videos or screens. It maintains a consistent level of detail in both characters and objects out to the horizon. KZ has some nice lighting and particle effects though and uses very crisp textures up close. Those explosions are nice.
