[Michael Dorosh's Brain]

It seems no matter what thread I go to even if I do a search for information two years ago, Michael Dorosh has posted on it, and perhaps several times, which leads to my question:

Is Michael Dorosh's brain Cyber-linked to the BTS web forum ??!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Pssssst Michael... go here:

[32 megs vs 64 megs vs 128 megs]

Developing a game and catering it only to the latest hardware is not a good idea.

I agree making it 128 mgs today is to much. However 64 mgs with backward compatibility is definitely a good move. I think BTS misjudged the technology jump when they started writing the program 2+ years ago.

REMEMER - backward compatibility....

Many of you think that is CMBB is 64 mgs you need a 64 mg video card. You do not !!

CMBB doesn't necessarily cater to gamers who are typically 14-30 year old males who have the cash and time to always upgrade their computers.

I think the typical gamer is in the 30+ age group. Most people under that age do not have the patience for military strategy. They want instant gratification. However, being a 30+ myself, I have the money to upgrade, in fact, people between the ages of 35 and 50 are in their most productive years !

Question for you Schrullenhaft:

If a player of CMBB has a 32 mg card with the default mods and they play a 9000 point game with a 1 ghz CPU, do you think they will experience choppy graphics ?

I would be willing to bet they would and if they upgraded the mods to high res, then the choppiness will increase. This being said, perhaps 32 mgs as advertised is not "TRULY" the max card required ! Perhaps, at larger point games a 64 mg or even a 128 mg card would be required to stop choppiness ??

Fascinating subject.

Cordially,

Hello,

Not buying it!

My statement was backward compatibility of 8 mgs.

I think BTS under estimated the technology jump. CMBB has not been released yet and it is already outdated :confused:

[32 megs vs 64 megs vs 128 megs]

I am considering upgrading my video card and I notice the standard is now 64 megs soon to be replaced by 128 megs.

Why did not BTS use 64 megs with backward compatibility to 8 megs.

Seems like they blew it on this one !!

[Backup Disk for CMBB]

Further to the CDV interview, they state there will be copy protection on the CD Rom. However, they mention you are allowed to make one backup copy.

My question is, how can you make a backup copy if the CD Rom has some type of copy blocking script on the CD ?

Thanks

It does seem Fionn has a million and one excuses for getting out of games !

The mark of a Champion is to take on anyone !

Not to have one story after another
