The Rydermark Thread (TM)

The images are clearly doctored photos, it's only a question of time until somebody finds the image used for the people. That boat looks like the only thing that is drawn, and not by a computer, more by a hand.
Can Fudo hope to keep his job after this? I thought this was some kind of joke when I saw those pictures, but now I wonder. Is he really being mislead? Is it possible to be this blind?:oops:
If somebody he trusts has feed him this, somebody he trusts is out to get him. Doesn't bring out the popcorn-feeling in me.
 
Yeah, its kinda scary, cause this has the markings more of "let's totally destroy Faud's reputation" than "let's hurt NVIDIA".

Faud definitely enjoys what he does, and sometimes he is on the right track, and sometimes he is on the wrong track. This is really starting to look like someone is pulling Faud's leg in a big way, and he is most likely going to take the brunt of the fallout.
 
Just out of the blue, but anyone know who is making this Rydermark? I couldn't find anything on the web, well other then links to the Inq.

By Jove, Holmes! I think you've done it again!


It will use heavily multithreaded Sahara game engine with multiprocessor support.

It is a combination of our in-house Sahara shader engine . . .

Which is an interview "with Ajith Ram from Candella Software".

The pic of the boats speaks for itself, of course, compared to the Inq shot. (Edit: By which I don't mean they are identical, but rather they strongly look like the same artistic hand/mind/design sense to me)

Maybe. But if he's stupid enough to take the bait, and fall for it so completely, then I hope he loses his job over it. Journalists shouldn't simply just state the "facts" that other people give them. There has to be some level of filtration.
 
You would think that the first installment would have raised enuf of a stink that Faud would have passed those screenshots around a bit on the side for comment before sticking his neck out with them.

An extended quote from that link:

It is a combination of our in-house Sahara shader engine along with middleware like Havok for physics and Miles Sound System for audio. On the PC version, we are aiming to really push the technology envelope. We use high resolution textures and features like normal mapping, stencil shadows, specular lighting, bump mapping, vertex hair etc.

If are able to stick to our schedule, sometime next year, we aim to release a standalone benchmark to promote the game.

Just a bit more I thought I'd toss in for fun, this is most enjoyable! :LOL:

The curious thing is that he's clearly expressing trust for a group of people who he's known for a long time. The inherent contradiction between this and the nasty photochop is what's so puzzling.

It says "some". No AMD, either.

I really think the ball's in Fuad's court now.

If Rydermark turns out to be real, well we'll all have heard of it, that's for sure.

AMD doesn't do their own IGP, either.

If they were working with NV, it'd be on that list. . unless NV has a policy of not allowing their relationships to be publicized, which I suppose is possible, but I haven't heard that said.

Yep nV has no policy of not letting developers put the nV logo on thier own site if they are getting help from nV, nor does ATi. Intel does though, as does AMD.
