next month red dead redemption 2 is going to be released and I am so excited about and looking forward to play it and see what did rockstar do to improve their games after the huge success of GTA V.

@ListenUp I'm saying it because I'd like to get a job in the gaming industry as a 3D artist but most companies stress the importance to have the first hand experience with various types of games. xD So that's kind of a problem for me.

Wooow. Looks amazing :O

@CrazyMusicLover I see, 3d modelling?... Try your luck with an independent game developers?.. It will be good for experience and you might need to borrow a friend's video game console with some of its games lol. Maybe, inde developer will not ask for gaming experience as long as you are good at what you do.

Wish you luck! 🙂

In the early '80s, I occasionally played an arcade game called Tempest, the first and last electronic game I have ever played.

@Byron8by7 I only know about him because I had to study the history of computer animation. 😄 The visual style of that game reminds me of the beginnings of computer graphics, but in color. It's an old game, after all.

@CrazyMusicLover I'm sure it is considered primitive nowadays. I think the last time I played Tempest was back in 1983.

@CrazyMusicLover Tempest had a vector screen, which did actually work the same way as the monitors in very early computer graphics as used by Sutherland et al. There were a few arcade games in the 80s that used them, most iconically Asteroids. Instead of a frame buffer, the computer stored a list of lines (vectors) to be drawn, which saved RAM, and since the list was very small it could be manipulated quickly to make fast-moving graphics. It was the only practical way to make playable 3D games at the time, too.

Ironically, it seemed very futuristic back then and I still like the style when it's emulated in modern games.

I think the last game I played computer wise was Zaxxon on a Colecovision. 🤔 They never really interested me.
