especially if you are aware that gfx isn't
everything and that gameplay is much more important... That's exactly wat i feel. If gfx was the only thing which was important the world would'nt have seen games like Maxpayne2(God, i jus' love it , i lost my breath when i saw the climax of the game.*by the way did u play it? In case u did'nt play it, jus' go out right now and buy it. It's worth anything!!*) We do different things on them, mostly it's doing CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics, which means calculating and simulating the flow of liquids/gasses over surfaces and the resulting effects; we need it for aerospace purposes)... Rlly cool!! can u beat the NASA at this? You can't believe how I envy you ;-) Snow is great for most tourists we have here because they come here for skying and such for a few days and then go back wherever they live with less or even no snow. But if you have to live there you usually get fed up very fast with the white cure... yeah i know, it's the same with any type of conditions, but if you live in a tropical country you often get your ass burnt whenever you are outside. That too near the coastal regions you sweat a lot even when its not hot. Yuo, but still play around with it (one of the great things in GTA is that even if you finished the gameplay itself you still can do things in the environment). Actually I'm playing GTA VC again... same here, i've finished Vc twice and still i like it. No, I never installed it. IMHO it's nothing that adds to much to the game fun, at least for me... yeah, its good the way it is. Well, besides GTA I also liked Deus Ex, Vampires-Masquerade, the Thief series (well, Thief 2 and 3 more, didn't like Thief 1 that much), Drakan, and also HL2... yah even i like the thief series. I found Doom3 rather boring, with very low motivation to finish it, and I got even more bored by the addon "Ressurection of Evil"... Well, i played it jus' b'cause, it freaked me out the first time played it, and no other game has ever done that, so i found it challenging. But,i did'nt go for the ROE, b'cause doom3 was rlly dark all the times (which i did'nt like much). you know something, i've really liked replying to you rather than anyone else in the 'groups'. I find you interesting than anyone else. I've seen you replying too much for 64-bit queries and the wrong perception ppl hav abt it. I guess u've rlly got bugged up by them. have a nice day, (and do try maxpayne2 if you had'nt) bye. |

It's very hot there, too, but it's not as humid as in Germany so even higher degrees are more comfortable to me than lower temperatures in Germany... I found Doom3 rather boring, with very low motivation to finish it, and I got even more bored by the addon "Ressurection of Evil"... Well, i played it jus' b'cause, it freaked me out the first time played it, and no other game has ever done that, so i found it challenging. I was freaked two or three times but then it just got repetitive, and I know that when I'm walking behind this next corner then there for sure is another monster... Have you seen the Doom movie? Wasn't _that_ bad, but certainly no highlight, either. I wonder why The Rock participated in such a movie... But,i did'nt go for the ROE, b'cause doom3 was rlly dark all the times (which i did'nt like much). Yeah, the darkness really sucked. What for a game does have a modern gfx engine when everything is still dark? ;-) you know something, i've really liked replying to you rather than anyone else in the 'groups'.

But the real problem is the computer press which often makes false statements and claims and thus causes expectations in peoples that make them go out and buy new products but then being disappointed by the results. So I thought I perhaps can prevent a few people to make these experience with Winxp x64... Kind Regards Benjamin |

What happened at the End of Max Payne 2 ??? I fell a sleep while playing it. Never did finish it.

But jus' for the sake of answering i'm tellin' u.Vladamir lem shoots Mona and kills Alfred woden. Mona is dead after a while and all the charaters in the game are dead and miraculously maxpayne survives.*there is an alternate end to the game if u use cheats, in which Mona and maxpayne survive*, which means the Max payne3 will have a brand new story, with brand new characters.(At the end of the game it says that"maxpayne's journey through the night will continue" which means that maxpayne3 WILL be released) |

I played MP2 when it came out. It's not one of my favourites but I really enjoyed it. But I liked the first MP more... Yes, i liked MP b'cause, there was an extra bit of emotion in that game and you are always alone, with nothing to lose, i liked that part of it.i finished that game in 10 hrs. while in MP2 there's some loss of logic where Mona survives with the bullet in the head! i finished the game in 7 hrs. (it's always easier to complete a maxpayne game, that's wat i don't like abt it) (I've always held the game high *u can see the URL of my email to verify*) We do different things on them, mostly it's doing CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics, which means calculating and simulating the flow of liquids/gasses over surfaces and the resulting effects; we need it for aerospace purposes)...

It's very hot there, too, but it's not as humid as in Germany so even higher degrees are more comfortable to me than lower temperatures in Germany... Yeah, i live 5 km away from the coastal strip (that saved us from the Tsunami). It is very humid. ppl from the north India or elsewhere find it rlly uncomfortable even when they are used to hot climate.you get sulky, just when you roam around. I'm quite often in South California I wonder wat u do in California....(u don't have to tell if u don't want to...) I was freaked two or three times but then it just got repetitive, and I know that when I'm walking behind this next corner then there for sure is another monster... same here. Have you seen the Doom movie? Wasn't _that_ bad, but certainly no highlight, either. I wonder why The Rock participated in such a movie... nope, I have seen the trailer, but unfortunately most of the movies take time to release in India, i might watch it if it releases in India. But i usually like movies which are more related to the real world( i like classics like Gladiator, A beautiful mind..etc., which makes Rusell crowe my favourite actor.) But i also watch fiction movies once in a while.My latest was King kong- it was an average movie. I don't rlly think Rock is cool (cause i watched his sucking " The scorpion king"). May be he jus' participated to get back to the screens. Yeah, the darkness really sucked.

I rlly got hooked up with 64 bit when i read an article abt 64-bit processing in one of the tech mags here. It said that 64-bit provides UNLIMITED possibilities when it comes to the gaming, which was what i posted here.Any way i come under the few ppl you talked abt. But the same mag gave an article that the PS3 is the world's 87th fastest supercomputer and it is twice faster than the Xbox360 and 35 times faster than the PS2! Is that true? Do you like cars(I jus' love them..) wat kind of car do u own? I guess u might not be able to use ordinary cars out there. A one with the sleds might help i guess!! Kind Regards thanks, and have a great day. |

Remeber that the PS2 (and even the XBox!) already were "supercomputers" when it came out? It just depends on the definition. The truth is that consoles are really fast, they have hardware that's heavily optimized for a few certain functions (usually gfx calculations with single precision) which the usually do really fast. If you now benchmark the execution speed of these few functions you get impressive results, and the marketing is using that. Real supercomputers on the other side are much more flexible, they are fast not only for a handful functions but for a lot of functions, and they are fast when using double precision numbers. Of course the Sony marketing just "forgets" about these little details... I remember that every new console was said to be that much faster than any high end computer, but not _one_ of them ever filled the promises and marketing hypes. And I really doubt that this will happen in the future, especially with the low margins on hardware sales and when looking at the price a console must sell at so that people buy them.. Do you like cars(I jus' love them..) Yes, I like cars. Not all of them, though... ;-) wat kind of car do u own? I guess u might not be able to use ordinary cars out there. A one with the sleds might help i guess!! Not quite, here in Bavaria an AWD car usually does it well. My car (Audi V8 4.2 quattro) is quite old, but it still runs great and I just don't feel the need to replace it with anything newer. Kind Regards from Germany Benjamin |

Yes, the lonely part was indeed what added a lot to the gameplay, as did the (quite simple but nevertheless very immersive) story. Very well done... And for the music, both the games are really good. especially the 'late goodbye" song from POTF(poets of the fall) Nice email ;-) I have to agree, MP2 was a bit strange, I never couldn't get a real connection to the first game (except that the main character is the same). Of course I know that it was connected to the first game, but it somehow felt like a different game from which the main charakter just happens to have the name Max Payne ;-) yeah i think, it's because MP2 uses a different gfx engine.And also MP2 is much more advanced than the MP where Mp always has his mouth twisted in a smile! Do you have a humid climate? I'm quite often in South California. It's very hot there, too, but it's not as humid as in Germany so even higher degrees are more comfortable to me than lower temperatures in Germany... Yeah, i live 5 km away from the coastal strip (that saved us from the Tsunami). It is very humid. ppl from the north India or elsewhere find it rlly uncomfortable even when they are used to hot climate.you get sulky, just when you roam around. Wow, I think even for people who live there it sometimes is uncomfortable, isn't it? A lot, especially in the summer seasons. But when it comes to rainy days, i just love them.The season and the whole atmosphere becomes lovely.(This season was an exception, because, almost 350000 had to evacuate (or) lost their homes due to heavy rains and flooding.sad thing, but the good thing was nothing happened to our house because we live in an apartments in the 45th floor.) It's mainly for job reasons, but I haven't seen much as we usually are down south in the desert ;-) Do you travel much? I've always adored travelling. But i have'nt gone beyond India. I'd recommend to watch it if it doesn't cost you anything, otherwise you probably would just waste money... ;-) IMHO it's a nice if you see it on TV one day but I'd not spend any money to see it... Money is'nt a problem, but time is.I do not usually get time to engage myself in entertainment. The only thing i do for entertainment is listen to music(1 hr/week) and reply to interesting messages at the groups(30mins/day).You might understand what i'm talking about, if you had a slight idea about indian education(It is simply brutal and ruthless, considering the competition(at least 5 million students competing for 25 seats at one of the reputed institutions here(IIT-Indian institute of technology) It is also the world's second best technology institution(after the Massachusetts..) that is where my father is intended to get me in. But i usually like movies which are more related to the real world( i like classics like Gladiator, A beautiful mind..etc., which makes Rusell crowe my favourite actor.) But i also watch fiction movies once in a while.My latest was King kong- it was an average movie. Yeah, King Kong wasn't really great. They made a slapstick comedy out of it. I didn't like the game either (tried the demo but found it boring)... I usually do not like games which release just after the movie release. It seems to me that they come out just for the sake of the publicity. they are not actually famous for their content. I don't rlly think Rock is cool (cause i watched his sucking " The scorpion king"). May be he jus' participated to get back to the screens. Probably. The only really good movie with him IMHO was "Welcome to the Jungle". Otherwise I found him average at best, and "Scorpion King" was boring for me, too. "Welcome to the jungle" was pretty good. Well, media. We have a bunch of computer magazines here from which only _one_ provides useful informations. The other ones just publish crap and nasty marketing terms they get from the companies that pay for the ads in the magazine... Well, i must be glad that here it is not the same. All the magazines_report_ stuff, but do not actually critisize or praise a product too much(64-computing an exception...) But the same mag gave an article that the PS3 is the world's 87th fastest supercomputer and it is twice faster than the Xbox360 and 35 times faster than the PS2! Is that true? I really doubt that. Remeber that the PS2 (and even the XBox!) already were "supercomputers" when it came out? It just depends on the definition.

And I really doubt that this will happen in the future, especially with the low margins on hardware sales and when looking at the price a console must sell at so that people buy them.. I think that computers rule because of their ability to serve to multiple tasks, which consoles do not do. I feel gaming is good in computers than consoles because of the ability to move the crosshair with a mouse which is rather much easier than the joystick.I feel joysticks uncomfortable in case of fps and third person shooter games, while they are good when it comes to racing games. You told me that the NASA uses thousands of cpus and you use only 128 cpus, But does that make any difference? it just speeds up the calculations but i feel that the correct path of the research might be an advantage for the place you work. good luck. bye |
