Drives me nuts!!

they keep talking about “industry-standard”

Where is this standard? who wrote it? Who makes it?
Like there is really some list somewhere , that lists all the things that the industry issues as the standard.

There is no such thing as “industry-standard”, that is just a catch phrase that software salesmen use.

The game industry still sells games with outdated engines, and crap graphics, along with the nice games… There is no “Standard, or gauge” for how a nice a game looks and plays.

sorry for the rant, but lets leave the misleading sales talk to the commercial games, and start talking about real things like HDR lighting, or ragdolls, or an advanced terrain system, or real time stencil shadows… The “professional quality” and “industry-standard” talk is just a bunch of salseman hog $h!t!!!

ok, I feel better now :slight_smile:

Good luck Apricot team! we are all rooting for you :smiley:
Going to order my DVD as soon as the wifey gets home :slight_smile:

Mmph!,

it is in reference to ‘de facto’ standards, not formal standards.

to those who still don’t understand: it is in reference to what studios such as Id or Team6 need from ‘pipelines’ :slight_smile:

Quick note, I edited a couple of other links about apricot into the first post.

C’mon, I really don’t understand this childish rage. You can write such a bs about almost every announce then. They don’t talk about any ISO standard though…
