puck up a cheap used 360 in January? Ha :)It's not worth getting into here, but I ran with Windows 8 for a couple of months and had all sorts of gaming problems. 7 works beautifully and I'm happy to stick with it for now, but it is disappointing that I won't get to enjoy this.

Yeah steam and Windows 8 haven't given me any problems. Just have to switch older games to its correct compatibility mode.
Same here. I was using the Consumer preview, then upgraded when Windows 8 was officially released. Steam has been completely fine, as have 99% of my games.I've been on Windows 8 and Steam since launch with no issues. Some weird driver issue?
It sounds like you were just unlucky.
I've had no issues on Win 8 either and its where I'll be playing Project Spark for the most part. As far as I know there's no reason every Windows 7 game can't work in Windows 8, if you're having issues you should complain to the developer.
Any predictions of what new info we'll get on Saturday? :).
We're hoping to put out a little teaser video tomorrow (Friday) that talks about some of the things that will be covered.Any predictions of what new info we'll get on Saturday? :).
Also, I'm still working on the Key-value Pair collection constructs question. The brain programmers haven given me the "it's a little too complicated to explain to you right this minute. (and can't you see I'm just trying to get a quick cup of coffee?)" look when I've asked.
haha sounds good look forward to the video, and I'm sure the other guy will appreciate the complicated tech question as soon as they decide to teach it to you ha :)Originally Posted by Mike_Lescault

Project Spark Pre-PAX vlog!

Small sample of Character studio is shown, level linking is shown, and looks like Kinect Capture is heavily improved from the Gamescom build. Looks great.
edit: Beaten by the man himself!
Also, question Mike. Since we can unglue and create new objects with other objects, will we be able to also make armor and weapons that our characters can wear too? Or is there a set library of items that we can put on our characters?

Thanks Mike, updated the OP so new people coming in can see it. Loved the over-world ala Super Mario World part to do 1-1 worlds and such, and the ending was pretty much as well. :)Originally Posted by Mike_Lescault

This looks better and better every time I see it.
Best thing I've seen for the upcoming consoles.
Can't wait to play around with it.

Totally insane, every video just seems to push the limits back even further.
Can the levels pass information to eachother? So would there be a way to say track a number of lives or amount of gold across levels?

WOW. Arbitrarily linking to other levels and not just those that are yours is gonna make it possible to channel surf creations whose authors have networked together their levels. And the size of the world with Kinect mocap. Maybe the best thing showing for next-gen, period.Originally Posted by Mike_Lescault

Pretty soon it'll be easier to list what you CAN'T do! Awesome
Yeah, you can do that. They've shown 'Logic Cubes' that you can use to track/control everything that happens in a game - experience gained, enemies killed, coins collected, etc.Totally insane, every video just seems to push the limits back even further.

I want to play this so badly :(
This looks amazing. I'm really surprised more people aren't talking about this.
This is really cool. Actually interested in trying it out on PC.
I actually remember seeing a character having a super jump ability in one of the other videos, so a Crackdown clone does seem possible.Originally Posted by Miles Quaritch
That really does look very impressive. One thing, will there be any super powers? I'm giving serious thought to creating my own Crackdown.
Wow I could lose hours and hours messing around with this.
Pretty much all characteristics of movements seem to be adjustable via programming, so I'm thinking that changing a character over time would be a snap.I actually remember seeing a character having a super jump ability in one of the other videos, so a Crackdown clone does seem possible.
I'm hoping the colours in clothing are adjustable via programming as well. I'd love enemies to turn darker the more you shoot them, for instance, or a gun that turns enemies to gold. I'd call it the Midas gun.
There was one demo where they gave a character a quintuple jump, and then there was another where they had a character level up and gain a fireball ability, so you could conceivably merge those two ideas for a Crackdown-type experience.Originally Posted by Miles Quaritch

Someone somewhere mentioned that the max run speed was 30km/h, but I dunno if that's actually the case.
I wonder what the preprogrammed AI will be like.
Pretty graphics are nice but it all falls apart if the pathfinding and AI is shit.

This game is going to be loads of fun
I wonder if we'll be able to add a soundtrack to our own levels. That would be awesome.
Even midi or something that would allow us to sequence notes.
unbelievable. this is going to be unbelievable. cant wait to make a massive open world platformer.
Awesome :) Thanks for keeping on it... that look seems promising though :)Originally Posted by Mike_Lescault

That's all I needed to know. Crackdown x Prototype x crazy level design and an insane amount of collectibles = game of the forever.There was one demo where they gave a character a quintuple jump, and then there was another where they had a character level up and gain a fireball ability, so you could conceivably merge those two ideas for a Crackdown-type experience.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this, really hope I'm accepted for the beta.
I wonder if there's anyway to gauge the economy of these massive worlds. Assuming people will have the time and talent resources (after all the community collaboration will probably make for some massive amounts of man-hours) for generating the level of content needed to fill these worlds, RAM, Storage and bandwidth are finite resources. If I sit down with, lets say, 1000 of my closest friends on Live and decide to create something with the density and foot print of Skyrim or the World of crack down, that's surely a few Gigabytes of data right? I wonder how we would know when we are hitting limits of system resources... what's the economy of these worlds I wonder.Originally Posted by Miles Quaritch

This is really the only XBone game I'm interested in.
Looks really good.

Have you shown off the female characters?
My 6 year old is starting to ask why there are no girls in the games she can play (and no she's not going to play saints row or tomb raider)
oh yea and internal beta please

I had no idea this was on 360? Hell yes!
Between this and Titanfall I am good.

There is a female character that gives you quests in one of the first Spark videos. You'll most likely be able to make her playable.Have you shown off the female characters?

So far they've only shown bipeds I think. What if I want to play as a spider? I could build one, but then I also wanna know how I can animate it.
Looks great. Hopefully something my buddy and I can play since he is the only person I know getting an XBone
Holy fuck at that video.
I hope Microsoft sees this is the ace in the hole. This experience could define the fucking generation. Could move xbones like there is no tommorow.

PC OEMS should also make deals with MS, install it and offer free DLCs if you buy a specific laptop from Acer, Asus...etc.
It has strong potentials to boost Xbox and Windows 8 app store as a great gaming ecosystem but knowing MS, they will find a way to halfass it.
Just watched the livestream. Sucks that it wasn't that long. Glad to hear that there will be custom leaderboards. Really want to hear about the MP stuff though.
This looks interesting. I still have many questions about the creation tools and their flexibility, but I'm in.
yeah they are holding onto the multiplayer details, maybe they're still hammering details out or just like teasing us haOriginally Posted by belucheez
