Why do you throw the term "Ultra HD" around so much and use it incorrectly? Ultra HD is used as the industry's buzzword (and in the TV/movie logos) for 4k and 8k resolutions, not texture detail or the amount of polygons in a game's models.

[VAIMAHDO]

Rockstar games defined GTA IV as "HD" so, from then on I've heard the term used as so from then on. So I would define the next generation we're evolving to as "UHD". Even know any definition was originally defined as a pixel resolution, the term is becoming a multi-definition word. The PS2 era (like DRIV3R) would then be called the HQ era.

More info about why there won't be another Driver game... for a while.
"We knew that to enter the driving genre today, you needed to be super innovative otherwise it was commercially not viable. There is much love for Driver inside Ubisoft and here at the studio, but we had to make the decision to silence it for a while."

Good.
The original staff is gone, there's no point in making sequels of something that other people have made in the past. Driver SF is completely different and I take it as a reboot in a different universe with the same characters.
I always take games as spin-offs if those games are made by other people, like Hitman Absolution and the upcoming one.

Unless, if I'd be able to make games (wish I could, damn), I would make a Driver 1 remake.

P.S.: why the heck are they talking about Driver like they own it and did everything even though they joined Reflections later? Oh, I mean, UBISOFT Reflections.
P.P.S: Driver SF sales were bad because the people were disappointed on how Driver has turned, no surprise there. I love that game, but we were all expecting a Driver that would have gone back to the roots.

Totally agree with that.

Pretty cool actually!

[VAIMAHDO]

I've reincarnated my YouTube channel and am planning to make it better. My name is now VAIMAHDO. Much better then DaRk. Even know I've come to be used to the name, it had to go.
So without further words, here's my wonderful background photo. Dam I love it.

[T.K.]

I would like to announce my resignation as Driver Madness staff. I cannot keep up with Driver Madness business on top of my current life (work, mostly). I'm definitely gonna still be hanging around, just not as staff.

This is absolutely 100% a decision made on my own, and I've been thinking about it for a while.

[VAIMAHDO]

Well you seem to be the only moderator most of the time.

[T.K.]

I'm not even a moderator. I'm closer to PR dept. than anything.

[Nikusakken]

Unfortunately I'm also having problems keeping up with the forums regarding my duties as a moderator and I don't expect it to improve. I've been busy in these two years with college and now with work as well. While I'll certainly try to take a look at the website every now and then, I'm not able to moderate the forums anymore.

[VAIMAHDO]

"And another one bites the dust!"
This song came into my head because of a second person leaving the higher leveled staff/moderator rank.

[max.thunder]

OMG!!!!

[Fireboyd78]

Looks like there's no more moderators left besides me, lol. I may not be active all the time, but I still lurk sometimes.

Thank you, Nick and T.K., for the years you've served as part of the Driver Madness staff. Good luck with your future endeavors!

Well I've been playing Saints Row The Third for the first time. Quite a hilarious game it is and very unstable.

[PostalDude]

Saints Row 1 is the best, by far.
And I don't understand why you play all your games at such low settings even though your computer is about as good as my last build, if not a bit better.

[VAIMAHDO]

Ah it's because (Especially in Saints Row 3, dam) my Core 2 duo meets the minimum requirements perfectly, and it's video card lacks a little bit. Add that with using Fraps or Bandicam.
Also, I don't play "all my games at such low settings" I play at whatever gives me 30ish frames per second. Without recording, this computer only holds on average 28 FPS on that game.
Your build may have been similar, but mine is held back by a slower transfer rates on the motherboard, video card (with overall not so high end features) and slower RAM.
I did look at your Core 2 duo's specs again and yeah it's processor was quite a bit faster then mine, as well as I believe mine holds DDR2 RAM.

The extent where you've been pushed so far that you just give up with socializing. I. Quit.



This may make no sense to any of you, it of course has nothing to do with these forums, this is just personal stuff, you know, how I vent.

You wanna talk about it?

[madness]

On another topic I've been watching the coverage of the siege in sydney. It's 5:20AM where I live and I must go to sleep now.
It finished just after 2:10AM with people running everywhere and police firing and shooting stun grenades.
The siege had lasted over 16 hours.

I guess this happens more often in america. But I cannot remember the last time something like this happened in australia.

Ikr how scary is this man!!! cant believe the isis are attacking our country, ive applied to be a riflemen in the ADF army..1st thing they said is i cannot wear my uniform in public and post no military information on facebook, because the terrorist situation. I hope the SASR troops that abbot sent in a couple weeks ago take control of the situation quickly, coz we cant allow this to spread, or even more innocent people will die.

[madness]

I believe this attack was unrelated to ISIS. This guy was a lone wolf with his own grudge against the system. I would be more worried about copycat attacks.

I don't really understand this properly.
Even though I stayed up all hours of the night watching it live on the news.
There is so much to take in. I remember putting the gunmans name in facebook the moment I saw it on TV.
Less than a minute ago someone had created a page with his name and "should get death sentence"
It was getting 10 likes a minute. As the morning come it started slowing down.
There is about 1000 likes there now.

I still consider ourselves lucky, many more lives have been lost in other countries due to terrorism.
Most notably the World Trade Centre attacks. London and Bali Bombings.

Not really, but since you ask, I'll just give you a brief overview.
Simply, everyone on this planet automatically treats me like shiet and flips out on me when we become more familiar with each other. This has been going on my entire life, so I give up with giving people chances. This happens at a crazy high rate to the point of it happening also on the internet, so I can't even avoid it. This is only in a nutshell.
(Ugh I hate people face)


Just a helpful tip to people:

If you are too different, you will forever be singled out. You will always have to deal with problems yourself, and many things in life will be far harder since you are alone, especially when it comes to being physically bullied. But always keep in mind, you might be just so different enough that you will be an abnormally intelligent human capable of many things no once could ever imagine, and you are still trying to find what it is that makes you a game changer for Earth.

Not sure if that was a tip, I forgot what I was going to say, but whatever, I try, although, I should stop trying to help anyone.

This is brilliant man!!! its good to know you never backed down and never gave in to social pressure, you stuck to who you are, this shows me your a genuine person, respect bro

I appreciate it. I notice that is a trait people dislike about me, is that I'm solid with my own views about everything in existence. I find it silly that the media has tricked a lot of kids into buying their stuff so that the kids feels "cool". It's as if no one can think for themselves, it's pretty sad that most people can't think outside of the box.
I've never had someone random admire my ways, even with vague information that I've given. Just as it reminds me of how many kids and school teachers doubted my planned future, oh how I laugh at them. "Go to kallage n yew kan bee ah office workr who works fr oder pepo" Mmmm I cannot wait to be sitting in my house with my own company, producing games and movies for everyone to enjoy, and just laughing at those people who doubted that I would ever make it anywhere near starting.

[VAIMAHDO]

I just switched from Cox to CenturyLink's services, I'm now getting 40Mb/s. And wow, it's amazingly fast I never knew 1080p videos would load an entire 20 minutes within seconds while watching it! I will never buffer again! Also, when getting headshots in GTA 4 or 5 it will no longer have delay in shots, causing the target to see nothing but me shooting behind him/her and they would get close to me and take me down.
The days of delayed shots not counting are over! Wooo!
By the way, I used to have 768Kb/s internet speed, which actually only sat around 256-500Kb/s.

[madness]

My interwebs is only 200 kilobytes a second.
So far away from the exchange.

Our government was going to give us fibre by 2023 up to 1gigabit.
But gov changed hands and we are getting 25 mbit on silly old copper which barely functions the way it is.
And we will have these ugly boxes called nodes in many streets.
At least it's better than the 2mbit I get now.

Unfortunately cable isn't in our area. But there is a very small chance we might be close enough to get WDSL.
Which is a fair bit faster but slows right down in bad weather conditions.

[VAIMAHDO]

Aw, well most of the people in Vegas don't even have these speeds. I was told I was one of the only 500 in this city who has anything near this fast. It's only available downtown and in the older neighborhoods.
