yes, they are specialized IBM PPC G5 cores, so they are indeed 64 bit.

the main PPC core is 64 bit however the VMX units are 128Bit working on 4 32bt floats in a single operation.

you think his signature gave it away biggrin.gif

CODE

I hold a degree in mathematical computation, 10 years programming experience; 7 of those in computer games, 5 of those in computer games engines for ps1,dc, ps2, gamecube, some pc & xenon.

I work on a VERY big game most of you will have played, those who haven't, WILL have heard of it.

what do I get paid? hahahaha - you REALLY want me to tell you? lets just say I've got enough Zero's to make me move 6,000 miles and a pretty damned nice benefits package to boot.

I work for Neversoft on the Tony Hawks franchise and "GUN" which no one has seen outside of PR circles yet.

Who can balme them for paying for your skills.
You once said that you add to 'dumb down' your dissertation for your degree due to it been too complex for people to understand with out a more than degree status in that field of work. Impressive and obviously your employers thought that your education was impressive too.
Glad you're around to put us dumb asses straight. beerchug.gif

Then could you make the damn game different and not just the same shit we have had for the past 6 games in the series. Tony Hawk 1 was the only one I gave a shit for. Bigger levels, better gfx, and a story blink.gif don't cover the fact that nothing else has changed. No offence m_hael but how about making a new engine? Then again if people still buy the games then why change it  beerchug.gif

the new stuff looks VERY nice... not as nice as some of the more graphics oriented games you've seen.. but nice enough that its a step WAY above xbox.

you haven't seen anything of it yet...

Good, I'll be waiting, considering I've loved all Tony Hawk games as of yet. I tryed thrasher skate and destroy...what a joke. That game has nothing on any tony hawk game. You guys should use your engine for a BMX game or some other type of Extreme sport as well! It's great!

Any chance we'll get other stuff in there like inline skating, freestyle walking, razor scooters (or freestyle wheelbarrow  ohmy.gif )?

Anyway I started a discussion on this over here: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=404743

here is my idea, make it more "jackass" oriented, for instance drivable car transport tracker trailers, and smaller cars with ramp, on them attached to them, seamless indoor/outdoor transitions, for instance you can enter the lobby of a five star hotel form the street, grind on the banister of the grand staircase or take the elevator to the ten floors, bust into a room, break the window and jump out of it to a platform below.

I believe you are mistaken.  This is one of the most common gramatical misconceptions.

It is Gates'.
Pronounced Gateses.
Go to school.
Learn your Grammar.

It is optional just because not many people actually take into consideration that spelling it Gates's is wrong, therefore too many people just do it. It's just become a habit, but still not gramatically correct.

I am telling you guys for the last time, read the MLA (Modern Language Association) format handbook.  In fact, I had it in my room and now it is right in front of me.  It is the 2004 revision.  It uses the example of a last name, Sartoris.
