A graphic designer has nothing to do with 3D modelling, except perhaps with primitives that need to be included, but nothing more. They are not responsible for modelling the visually accurate meshes included in a game, and typically work in functions of marketing.

Actually "graphic design" is broad and totally meaningless term saying that you are qualified for (one of) the artistic department(s), but nothing more. It's kind of my job.

Then you have "real" professional terms commonly used :

- Artistic Director : elaborates concepts from scratch, early art, and decides of tha artistic direction. Is usually above the artistic departement as he then hands his concepts to the team, for them to get actually produced.

Then the other artists :

- Animators, 3D modelers, 3D texturers, 3D special effects and particules specialists, painters/illustrators, 3D level design specialists, graphic engine specialists, storyboarders, web designers, interface & 2D designers, advertisement and communication specialists, etc, depending on the size of the company.

Never heard it used that way, even in design school. But OK.

With about an hour remaining, just for a little bit of perspective... This is what DUST514 will be competing against.

Bleh for Paris levels. Let's get some London in there. Second-largest market etc. etc.

Random thought-- what happens if Eve players pay the Dust mercs through Aurum (or whatever its called) in such a way that most of the RMT funding comes from Eve and not Dust? I think it would be difficult to get enough revenue through microtransactions in a console game, but maybe that's not CCP's plan?

Yes that was an awesome reveal, and looks spectacular. I'm very, very impressed by DICE's work. But I would disagree that DUST is competing against it directly. The real rivalry BF has is with CoD. I think DUST may compete more closely with Planetside NEXT, though.

Also remember that BF demo was revealed on a beefy PC. It won't look quite as amazing on the consoles. But that is of course why I prefer PC gaming.

Nope, DICE has stated that Metro demo was a mix of PC and console footage.

TIME! Looks like flash animation, but it hangs while loading...
 

[Crucifire]

Who are these jerks, why are they not talking about Dust 514, and why does it stop to load every four seconds

[Seriphyn]

Guys, you know, this is a pretty big deal that CCP is getting to have a slot on Sony's E3 2011 press conference...this'll boost exposure tenfold.

[Crucifire]

Yep, CCP being at E3 alone is a really big thing.

Until the presentation gets to what we're all waiting for I guess I'm listening to Uncharted 3 gameplay in the background.

[Hurs Sokira]

Guys, the space portion of DUST looks really cool!

[Crucifire]

Welp that was short. If you blinked you could have missed it. Good exposure I hope.

Edit: Fucking LOL Hurs!

Confirms PS3 exclusive at least. Not really that impressed, but I think watching all the BF3 trailers before that may have biased me slightly.

[Kyoko Sakoda]

And the forum trolling starts.

I'll be playing BF3 until this is out.
