New efforts!

[Fable]

I haven't been able to follow for a few weeks and cant catch up on reading... whats going on as far as news?

If there's any new you won't have to ask. Can we get the plastered on the front page of both threads? You won't have to look far for the people screaming with excitement.

Sit and wait, Last Known Hero.  :P

Apparently pancakes are awesome, and will kill you.  Its possible that its the fact they will kill you that makes them awesome, but that's in dispute.

The last few days I have been typing in City of Heroes in the search engine and the official website is a no show absolutely anywhere what in bees knees happened to it?

Infrastructure rot, I believe.  When that first started happening, I noticed that some authoritative DNS servers were resolving www.cityofheroes.com and some were not, which sounds like someone forgot to pay the electric bill or broke something without noticing or caring it was for a non-active game.  The fact that some auth servers were resolving it and some were not means some people would see the web server unreachable and others would see it still up, which suggests to me it was an accident and not a deliberate thing.

I haven't checked recently to see if the situation has changed.

I was *so* excited when this map was released to the UE4 marketplace. It's absolutely gorgeous. (My roommates saw it and started bugging me to put Revival on hold and re-make Skyrim in UE4. I'm not kidding.)
As for how intensive it is... I remember it running smooth as silk on my system. Of course, that's minus things like characters and combat.
I'd load up the map and check how much of my system resources it chews up... Except I've got nothing but my O.S. on my computer atm (long story short, HDD issues. Yay...)

Running at around 40 FPS, 1.5 GB of RAM used...
This map is the "Effects Cave" showcase that Epic released to UE4 Devs. The woman isn't part of Revival, she's actually from the Mixamo Animation Pack for UE4, But she gives a decent idea of what a character in game should look like.

Remember that Revival won't require maxed out graphics, if your computer can't handle it...simply turn the settings down.

I was looking at the first screencap, and thinking to myself "this would be when the Avatar of Hamidon pops out of the wall and eats her."

Awesome looking UR4 cave screenshots.   Exciting to think about playing CoH in an environment like that.

Shouldn't it be "Assimilates"?

Pffft! Sure, it could be that. I'm sticking with, "It's being prepped for the new re-release." I don't care how much sense your answer makes!  :P

Now a thought just came across.  Unreal engine games always allow people to get into mapping.....what if AE was expanded so user made maps could be thrown in?  *Devious smile*

Like T in Teens when you use an attack called Disembowel or Headspliter on a street thug, your not killing them, your "arresting them"

Unreal Engine 4 one maaybe could have a gore feature?  Maybe serious sam style gore? (enemies cut in half when chainsawed, gibbing and whatnot....)
