How are the video games designed for the major consoles designed?

Do the big companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, ect use C++ or C#, or do they have their own special programs for making games, or maybe possibly a certain kind of computer.

I’m interested in getting into being part of making video games with the big companies as a career but I don’t find all the coding too interesting. I would be more into using different programs to design the games rather than typing codes down.
Any insight would be really helpful.

Your question breaches two areas of game creation: Programming the engine and designing.

Programmers do the number-crunching you mention, writing the engines that run the games — Source, CryEngine, Unreal Engine, etc.

Designers use applications that utilize this code to create the world, map, etc. based on what the engine allows them to do (for an idea, Google "Crysis Sandbox"; it’s the level designer which was used by Crytek’s own design team, but is available to Crysis players as well). There are also modelers who create the models seen in-game, but that’s yet another path.

You won’t be able to get away from coding/number-crunching, though, no matter your path — pretty much every aspect will involve managing some sort of parameters, be it the collision values for this or that object in the intro map, or the effects of such and such a gun when fired for 5.4 seconds.

RE: WHAT HAPPENED TO DRAGON SKIN?

Hello all, I was recently researching the Dragon Skin armor from pinnacle armor and noticed their site was unavailable. Did they go out of business or something? Also I looked at older news reports stating that pinnacle had evidence that the military fraudulently altered the test results and that pinnacle was going to sue them, what ever happened to that? IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO!!! I cannot find anything recent on the subject, and want answers. Please any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks : )

1. Pinnacle lied about the test, dragon skin under went the same test, repeatably, and failed them all.

The adhesive they use, just does not hold up to extended high temperatures.

2. Then there is the ethics/ criminal issue.

Pinnacle sold the LA sheriffs office and the Air Force, body armor rated NIJ level lll compliant.

Except the body armor sold, had Never been sent to NIJ ( national institute of justice ) to be tested.

Pinnacle had lied to both the LA sheriffs department and the Air Force.

I know the LA sheriffs dept sued.

The Air Force was trying to get Pinnacle banned permanently from ever getting a US Federal contract and any company that ever hired the owner of pinnacle.

3. Basically it was all BS, the media jumped on the issue, because of partisan bias, they were trying to make Bush look bad.

Pinnacle was crap from the get go.

What should be my alter ego’s name?

I’m curious.

My name is Taleija Benn.

I have thick black hair and brown eyes.

I love sleeping, Dragon Ball Z (as well as DB, DBZ Kai, DBZ GT, DBZ AF), lemon pie, Inuyasha, FMA:Brotherhood, Kekkaishi, and Cowboy Bebop. . .uh, lemme think.

I always thought everyone should have an alter ego and that started to get me thinkin’. So any ideas you have will be appreciated.

What are cool action and soccer online games?

I need to know the names or sites of cool online games in which i get access to the full website and all the contents, like sites where i don’t have to pay money to get the full access.

I already know about miniclip and funorb. But i want cool action, soccer (or sports), war games, shooter they must have good graphics and 3D.

For good 3D graphics go to nexon and download combat arms, its fun and fast to download with a good connection.

How can I start creating video games?

Me and my friend are interested in creating video games (probably PC). Can I do this with no past experience? Is there a free program that I can download on the internet? What’s a good and cheap program? Any other tips?

try out 3dgamemaker,or fps creator,their the simplest way to get into game design,but its not a fun job and requires alot of c++ skill
try finding books on learning to code,then get about 1000$ and buy a decent game engine,and free up about 4-5 years for a 2 man crew and a decent game

but believe me its not fun,its not like you think
