  1. Dont know if you guys have bought a copy
    I did and today it landed in my mail :)

    It looks very professional and maybe it will be a collectors item in the future 8-)


     
  2. Read it with cotton gloves and bag it when you are done. :-)

    Chance of it becoming a collector's item, very low. Then again I sold Google at 175 so what do I know?
     
  3. 2 things in life i refuse to give advice on!
    First one is love
    Second is Stock Market :)

    Collectors item, nja maybe not but a fun paper it is and not more expensive then any other "nisch magazine"
     
  4. One article is one interview with Marco about the MA & PE Future
    One shall know that Marco is a man hon loves to "throw the dog a bone" but there seems to be some substance in to some he says
    Nothing is really new but here he confirms alot of what we earlier have suspected

    • Vehicles
      During this year we will see the first versions of "cars", the early versions will ofcourse be simple but in the future lays the vehicles we can see in PA today
    • Industries
      Marco says that the industrial era is comming to PE, with huge mining and crafting companies. He mention that the investments for this kind of venture will be greater then the CND!! :-&
    • New LA and PLANETS!!
      In the same context as the industries Marco speaks about new Landareas and the posibility for Spaceship ownvers to be able to Export\import gods from other planets. What Marco realy means here remains a mystery
    • 15 to 18 Updated during 2006
      No info on what kind of updates
    • New Physics system
      Well what this really is you can guess as well as i
      But my :twocents: is avatar fatigue, implemeting the Stamina skill
    • In Game Ads\Comercials
      The interaction with the irl world will be increased with Ads and jingles inGame, but also inGame ads will be availble inGame :)
    Well this is in short words what Marco says
     
  5. Burgerman

    Burgerman Cleaner

    Thanks Itto for sharing that info - it sounds like some very exciting times ahead in PE. :-)
     
  6. Physics...

    I was giving this some thought the other day. I can;t see how you could implement vehicles in the current PE engine. You can see the problem with how mobs are always standing 'upright' at a height level which is the centroid point of their footprint.

    This is why we get the 'falling into the hill' effect commonly seen with argos etc. Personally with the likes of what Half-Life 2, Prince of Persia and similar games acheive this part of PE has always seemed noddy - even flaky. Is this basic approach particular to RPG's ? I dunno.

    I hope therefore that we'll soon see mobs walking down hills properly, climbing avatar animations, cars that follow the terrain, proper collision detection (especially when SHOOTING THINGS!!!) and all the effects that would make PE so much more realistic.

    It's a shame they didn't team up with Valve and use their source engine - ;)
     
  7. Well i think with "vechicles" i think you should try to se it as a form of new TP system instead of an actual car that you can freely drive as you like
    (i dont think MA is ready for a road infrastructure or a vehicle that can drive around yet)

    With new physics i think you will see the answer for your request phunksta
    The problem with mob falling into the ground is an old problem and haven been discussed alot.

    I can mention some other "old ideas" that is mentioned in the magazine
    • Event system
      New skills "Event Promotor" & "Reputation" will be launched & the posibility to create your own "loot pool"
    • New City
      MA will create its own CND, most likely on Eudoria, for ppl who like to listen to music etc etc
    • Politics & Elections
      This have for along time been a vision of MA to implement Democracy
      My :twocents: is that it will stay a vision for some more time!
      Imagin if someone Pk the President :lol:
    • Food & Beveredge
      Well if the new Physics system will implement fatigue i guess we can only expect starvation to come as the next "feature"
      But maybe it could be fun to run a Brewery :)
    • Ads Ads Ads
      Advertising will be availible thru Video, Sound & graphics
