Nubcake

As far as skills you need,

Henson said he expects technology enthusiasts will test out the tools, even if they don't have much knowledge about writing computer code.

"You should not have to be able to write any lines of code to be able to do this," he said.

If you click the first link in that article it will bring you to another article.

Yea that's the only thing that I don't like about it. It requires basically know skill, and stupid kids can do it now. This world is a shame...

And once again I'm really sorry about the confusion lol.

Actually, I don't believe this will happen. It says you wont need coding skills. But think, you will need to create models, animations, textures, levels, sounds, etc. It will take more than one stupid kid to make a game. Even if they somehow manage to round up a group of stupid kids, they wouldn't make it through the whole creation process.

That's a good point, but you've also got to remember that it's an arcade game. You can't really put that much in word of amazing models no matter who you are into an arcade game. But I guess the reallly good ones will only come from the creative and better taught.

Sorry, but what do you mean by that?

Exactly, you caught me there.

And to answer your question I meant that the games to be made are for the arcade. And if you make an arcade game with too great graphics and models and such it will be too big for the 360 so there can't be that much you could do to go overboard and make a really amazing game.

And then I was saying that even with the minor restrictions and such, some people will produce a great product, and those people will probably be the people that already know how to make games and graphics and design, and the people that are just plain creative..

You're wrong.

Kthx.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 10:02 pm

Owned much?

I doubt the "stupid kids" could even play a game, let alone make one, from what I've seen.

dos mes · Post by **dos mes** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 10:06 pm

And I say this with all due respect,

How about you quit being a asshole and at least provide opinions. Quit being such a dipshit and actually type someting that is worth reading.

I'm entitled to an opinion too so respect that.

Kthnxbi, lmhb...

Cool down there, tiger, didn't mean to get you riled up over the internet which you just so blatantly bashed

. But, arcade games generally have weaker hardware than the xbox (1) so.....you were wrong.

dos mes · Post by **dos mes** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:07 am

I appologize however, I was tired and being told that you can't understand what I'm typing becuase I have a cock in my mouth and then just telling me I'm wrong and not providing reasons for why I'm wrong just pissed me off a little bit last night.

Anyways, still I don't get what you mean by the arcade games will have weaker hardware adn then you say that I'm wrong about them not going to be able to be much of a game.

Wouln't having weaker hardware make them less likely to be a good game?

EDIT: after reading about the XNA from microsofts site itself I realized that it isnt only for arcade games. I had originally been mislead by the artice that Beefs article linked me to. Sorry for all of the confusion and the reason for you guys not understanding me.
