Being the first AAA that I was lucky enough to have my name appear in the credits for - I decided to commemorate it!

I'll post another image when it heals - and it less blood than ink.

A vanu one would have embedded holo projectors, but that's cool too I guess if you're into ancient techniques.

This technology is 4 going on 5 years old. I'm eventually going to have to get something like this once I do some more research into it. I want a damn nano-tattoo!

have it display a rotating VS logo

As awesome as that sounds, I sincerely doubt thats doable with UV/holo tatoo ink...

That article clearly states that it's just a concept. Completely ignoring the screen, I would be extremely surprised if there currently is a device that runs on blood and has bluetooth capabilities.

No it doesn't. It shows a working concept. But it still has room for improvement thus its not ready to be used.

It does not show a working concept, that picture is a mock up. It has a ton of hurdles to get over, not the least in how that blood fuel cell will work and how to prevent clotting.

Then do you have a video or better picture? It really doesn't look like a working prototype to me, but I'd like to be wrong.

Will it change size/shape/color?

Now you have to make us PlanetSide 3, PlanetSide 4, and Planetside 5. That way 30 years from now, nobody asks you what that is.

Seems they just want to keep updating planetside 2 for many years down the road. Since its ftp there is no reason to release "planetside 3"

mrsmegz[SG] Emerald•

At some point, when my 24 Core Tegra 9 machine w/ 18,000 Cuda cores at 2nm Ultrabook. The game might need to be revamped to keep up w/ the times!

EVE Online has been so heavily updated, a screenshot from release and today would look like completely different games. It's totally possible to keep a game going for 10 years or more with updates.

16
mrsmegz[SG] Emerald•

I agree, but I cant think of any other game that has done that but maybe WoW which has done some big graphics upgrades, but still looks like a 8 year old game, a really pretty 8yr old game.

Based on that, a Space sim, I think, might be a bit different than updating games where you have to update whole landscapes.

BizzieX•

Yup, the date they seem to be throwing around for the lifespan of PS2 is until 2025.

One problem is that technology (especially gaming related) is going to shoot through the anus within the next 5 years, so PS2 will require major periodic overhauls, especially on the technological backend.

And if VR kicks off for good with the Rift, even more so.

It'd be wise to make PS2 very "modular", unlike games such as Battlefield 3 where there are insane amounts of technical debt (shortcuts in coding which do not allow for major changes later down the road without re-doing everything).

The engine was designed to be used for many games including everquest next, so there is no doubt in my mind that it is probably a very flexible one.

First AAA?

Triple A production; basically projects that employ large teams and state of the art tech. Mostly a marketing term though.

This right here folks, is what regret looks like in about 10 years.

In such a visible area too, cringe.

He's not a fanboy, he's a game dev and this was his first major project.

That doesn't change the fact that he's got copyrighted corporate art on his arm.

That isn't what you were talking about in your initial post.

He, in part, owns some of the copyright.

Not the first tattoo and not the last. As for regretting it - I can't regret what has been the first major achievement of my career. This is what I told myself I'd do the day I graduated. My name is in the credits - albeit not for design/code/a the game is now as much a part of me as I am of it.

You do realize he is a dev for the game right?
