Are they finally done with cgi?

 

That would be good news.

Not done with CG as a whole, but they are learning from the catastrophe of the prequels where the entire thing was one gigantic green screen.

 

Here is an example of how something can look more real without CG

Of course you can't avoid cgi. But a good mix of cgi and models works far better than just cgi on a green screen all over the place.

The latest Indiana Jones should also be showing them not to go with but only 10% green screen.... if GL could do what he did with the originals than by God they could do the same thing but better in this one.

I'm going to guess here but the budget for this movie has to be massive, maybe the biggest yet?  They're building lots of stuff and not doing much green screen from the sounds of it.  $200million is a sure bet but I think it's going to be higher for sure.

It will be all the better for minimal green screen. The over use of it this past decade or so has NOT exactly been the best thing for cinema...

 

CGI should be used to ENHANCE effects, not be the sole cause of said effects.

Walt Disney Studios Chairman said between $175-200 million: http://collider.com/star-wars-episode-7-budget/

The site, Indie Revolver, has been very busy with Star Wars VII spoilers. They've supplied the internet with images of the new Stormtroopers as well concept art of Han Solo's new wardrobe. And now, they've posted concept art featuring our first look at the main villain. Oh yeah, and he's holding Darth Vader's helmet. What?! Yup.

They also have a description of the Sith Inquisitor. Besides having a robotic hand as previously mentioned by Badass Digest, they state:

"He?s tall and thin and terrifyingly creepy, with glowing red eyes to match his red lightsaber. He?s got some robotic upgrades, like Vader ? but no mask. The cybernetic bits weave in and out of him. He?s got a human upper lip, a steel jaw." - Indie Revolver

Is the Sith Inquisitor going to be the main antaigonist or something? because he was in the Old Republic video game and the prequel series was about the old republic and they wouldn't want him only if they weren't going to have Episode VII be about the Sith Inquisitor trying to prevent the Jedi from reforming the Jedi Alliance.

"My source told me that The Emperor "100%" will appear in Star Wars Episode VII and VIII. Don't look for confirmations from this from Ian Mcdiarmid, because he's not portraying the Emperor this time. Will this big bad resemble the craggy old man of Return of the Jedi?

It's possible that he could come back like how Obiwan could speak to Luke in the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
