0 Brian M. Veteran Posted October 5, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2014 That is a step too far IMO. I have one of the most powerful laptops you can get, graphics and CPU wise, and that is still as laggy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose your using a different web browser. Im using firefox I just tested, it works in Chrome for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 astropheed Veteran Posted October 7, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2014 It seems like a pretty typical design to me. Am I missing something, are you just referring to the front page? It's interesting how they merged the two designs but neither are very extraordinary in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through it on a i5 ivy bridge CPU with onboard Intel graphics and it works perfectly smooth for me with no high CPU usage in chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TAZMINATOR Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Not too bad... But not impressive to me, though. Could do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LaP Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That is a step too far IMO. Totally agree. As a web designer i think it is awful personally. BTW i wonder how much ms paid them to promote flatness ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ZakO Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That is a step too far IMO. I have one of the most powerful laptops you can get, graphics and CPU wise, and that is still as laggy as hell. I'm currently on a crappy ?350 i3 laptop with integrated graphics. Scrolled through the whole thing, no lag, maximum CPU usage 34% although it dropped to around 8% once it had finished loading.

0 roosevelt Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I haven't seen anything like it before... so two thumbs up! There are certain places where it was lagging for me too. I liked the story telling portion more than the game :D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aergan Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Might work for advertising/marketing, totally useless for a functional website. 10 year ago it would have been done in Flash and no-one would care. LaP and pqt 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Skiver Veteran Posted October 8, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 8, 2014 Agreed with most here, technically it is very clever but constantly having to scroll down meant it felt laggy, getting halfway through an animation with constant stops. clicking the button in and holding down to continually scroll ended up with a battle of trying to get the right speed so that it flowed. I like it, but please no-one make this the new thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +Frank B. Subscriber² Posted October 8, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted October 8, 2014 As great an exercise in CSS it may be, I find it tacky. And it made my browser (Chrome 39 on Win7 x64) crawl.

0 Richard Grant Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I guess it depends on the browser. Using Safari here it's unusable. Safari is useless for any type of animation. This website uses a animation function for the scrolling, which is the issue for safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ACTIONpack Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Seen this site almost 10 months ago. It's really cool and shows what you can't do with JavaScript, html 5 and css3. The problem is that it uses to much resources to run it. So its bad for website but it shows what you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
