How to Understand the Image of a Black Hole

RFlagg says...

ESO, who had two telescopes involved have a video about the process of how they got there.

Elite Dangerous Official Trailer (with added honesty)

RFlagg says...

I was going to post that video as a response. It's a cinematic trailer, nobody goes all crazy how WoW or the even better example he used of ESO, looks anything like the game, and people are picking on ED. Like he says, if all you are doing is delivering stuff then that's your choice. You could stick to the main bases and interdict people. Where's the people being upset at the ESO Siege trailer, makes it look like an exciting game rather than a 50 hour bore fest just to get to level 10 (a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously the leveling in that game was seriously slow and dull). I'm not expecting ED to be everything SC is, but then again all that fancy stuff with SC are add-ons and not all base game stuff. I've been happy with my ED purchase, enough so that I got a HOTAS just for it and seriously thinking of getting a TrackIR. I'm sure it'll be the same thing in SC whenever it actually ships the full game and you aren't in the dogfight module.

I'm not particularly crazy about this trailer, but it really isn't bad. The original Capital Ship trailer was similarly cinematically enhanced, and it was pretty darn cool. So I think this one is fine, EXCEPT the lousy music. (Like, wtf?)
Also, this guy makes a good point:

Elite: Dangerous - Beta 3

RFlagg says...

ED is certainly one of the best games of the year. I got a HOTAS for it myself. Would love to have a Rift or even head tracking to support it.

Got to disagree with @shagen454 a bit on Shadow of Mordor which I liked a great deal. Wildstar was okay, but it and ESO both need to be F2P or B2P (ala GW2). AA, I dumped $150 on, and that is disappointing, though it was great at the time, I just burned myself out on it. Not as disappointing as Evil Within, my biggest regret of the video games I got this year. I agree Alien Isolation, was great, and I haven't spent enough time with Divinity to really evaluate it much. Hearthstone I can't even make it past the AI missions... lord I suck at video games.... probably shouldn't have got Lords of the Fallen given that I'm so bad at games as that game is brutal.

For others we have Gauntlet as a fun diversion, Hand of Fate, Nosgoth (been in since early beta), Road Redemption is a decent homage to Road Rash, South Park: Stick of Truth, Starbound, Zombies Monsters Robots is a fairly good F2P shooter... I can't remember if Kerbal Space Program came out this year or last... The Endless series (Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Legend)... The Evolve alphas (well, one alpha down so far, which was great and one coming this weekend, and more a next year game anyhow)... Titanfall was a great deal of fun.

At or at least near the top though is ED (I personally didn't stream it or make as many videos about it as I did others, it's still a great game). I'm glad I went with ED over Star Citizen, at least as they stand now. I seriously looked into head tracking, but it's just too pricey for me at the moment. I got a Thurstmaster X Flight HOTAS though off Craigslist for a decent price and that helped the game. I haven't updated it to Beta 3 yet, I'm sure I'll need to rebind stuff on the HOTAS and in Voice Attack... and this weekend is the Evolve alpha, so I'll probably be busy with that, especially as there is no NDA this time.

Blasting a mountain top to build world's 'biggest' telescope

newtboy says...

I think it normally depends on the mountain. As I see it, most people have an issue with destroying mountains for things like mining because 1) they disagree with the reasoning for it, 2)it's in places where people can see the damage, and more importantly 3) those 'mountains' are often much lower altitude and are decent habitats for critters with significant water runoff that's contaminated by 'mountain top removal'. When you're talking 9-10K feet up, beyond the tree line, there's far less habitat being destroyed (granted, something likely lives there that's now dead or displaced). That means it's not 0 damage done, but far less damage to what most people consider important. Very few people care about damaging the rock itself, mostly Shinto and Buddhists I would guess. Personally I find this a good trade off of damage vs possible gain, but of course I don't live there.
I'm wondering how this is better than the VLTA http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt/
I expected there to be no more giant telescopes made now that they know how to combine smaller ones to simulate large ones. I wonder why they went this way on this project?

Wouldn't we normally be against blowing up mountain tops?

I can't deny that I too am OK with this as it furthers our understanding of the universe by building this. I just can't help but to feel hypocritical.

Elder Scrolls online: the arrival trailer

TheFreak says...

It's too early for any news if a single player TES game is in development but the MMO is a massive undertaking with rumors of a massive budget. Zenimax Online, the company developing the game, isn't seperate from Bethesda/Zenimax, it's just a legal entity for the development team. So just how much can the publishing side of the house afford to commit to other proects while the MMO is in production? We already know the production of expansions for Skyrim was prematurely halted right before it was announced that ESO would be the next Elder Scrolls release.

I thought I heard that the MMORPG is being handled by a different studio and should have no effect the next single player Elder Scrolls game.

Elder Scrolls online: the arrival trailer

TheFreak says...

I would totally go see the CGI "Elder Scrolls Online: The Movie" in theaters.

I will NOT be buying ESO: Online the game. The first time I have not bought an Elder Scrolls game. I don't know where Bethesda got it in their heads that people wanted a TES MMO. The whole idea of playing Elder Scrolls in groups just puts me off.

Plus, no way in hell I'm paying $15/mo subscription, or submitting to any other monetizing scheme.

What really burns me is that they're wasting all this dev time on the project. Not only am I waiting a whole extra dev cycle for my next TES game...but the amount of money they're investing is staggering. What if this brings down the franchise? It's a bone headed move.

Elder Scrolls online: the arrival trailer

RFlagg says...

Okay, based on the last 3 stress tests. I don't think ESO should launch in June. I don't think it is nearly ready to call for a subscription. It's not bad, but its not as good as say Guild Wars 2, and what I'd expect of some of the upcoming "next gen" MMOs. I'm not in the WildStar beta, sadly, but based on what I've seen in Twitch streams and talking to people who are in (who don't seem to have a friend key to spare, grr. ) it seems far more polished than ESO, and I can see myself subscribing to that one. Of course who knows how much more polished the real beta is compared to the stress test betas, since the game is still under a full NDA, and I only made it to level 6 or 7 during the time. Of course those first 10 to 15 or so levels is when you need to hook the player and convince them that it will be worth $15 a month. There are several MMOs coming out that I feel will make ESO fall back, beyond Wildstar, there's Everquest: Next (and EQ:Landmark), the semi-mmo games like Destiny and The Division... If they used the GW2 model, of buy the box, play online free, I think it would do okay, and they will still get a lot of short term subscriptions from people who don't care, so long as it is an Elder Scrolls game, but I think they'll be too disappointed to stay beyond a quarter. I hope the real betas are that much better than the stress tests...

Anyhow, nice to see the conclusion of their older trailer, and an upvote for its quality alone.
