Francesco Montagnese
My name is FRANCESCO ANTONIO MONTAGNESE. Try pronouncing that correctly, believe me you'll never get it unless your Italian, lmao. I am 22 years old and live in the state of NY. Born to 2 Italian immigrants I try following the Realist idealogy of great Italian Renaissance Artists such as, Michaelangelo. I have been drawing all my life, and now I have found a computer graphics outlet to ignite my artistic passions even more.
I love PC gaming!!!
I hate Modern Art (Abstract Art) it never appealed to me and never made any sense. I like it when artists get straight to the point, instead of making me try to immagine what the heck their artwork is supposed to be.
I am a kind person, very creative, and competitive. I feel life is like a competition against yourself, overcoming trials and tribualations in order to become more skillful everyday. I am known as an overachiever by most of my friends. I respect until am disrespected. I look at the world in a mostly competitive way, cause it just is lol.
Even though this is true, I do like working on a group and I do get along with other artists in my field very well. In general I am a well-rounded individual who likes to meet new people in the industry.
What I hope to become is an Art Director some day, or a Lead Artist of some sort. I think I have the ability to lead in this field, but my projects keep getting delayed and slashed cause of school. Until, I graduate I'l still have my hands tied up a bit.

GEARED TOWARDS PC GAMING.
OMG!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS GAME LOOKS THIS CRAZY... DIRECTX 10 GRAPHICS WILL KICK CONSOLE BUTT AND U KNOW ITS GONNA START WITH THIS GAME! LOVING THE PHOTOREALISM OF IT ALL! THANKYOU CRYTEK FOR MAKING THIS GAME COME TRUE!
HECK YEAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO START FRAGGING IN THIS ONE. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE UNREAL SERIES AND MY PC GAMES LIBRARY.. AND IT WILL LOOK JUST AS BAD-ASS AS GEARS OF WAR.
GORY HELL OF A FUN TIME! GENETIC ALTERATIONS WITH PLASMIDS, FPS IN AN UNDERWATER WORLD, A TEAM OF 30 PPL ONLY WORKING ON THE PHYSICS OF THE WATER FOR THE GAME... CRAZZZY!!!!
WHO CAN FORGET ENEMY TERRITORY FOR WOLFENSTIEN? I CAN'T! SO, THIS ONE I'LL DEFINATELY GET. EMPHASIS; ON CLASSES AND STRATEGY. KEEP DOING YOUR THING SPLASH DAMAGE!
IT WAS A SICK GAME FOR THE XBOX 360.. NOW ITS GOTTA BE BETTER FOR THE PC! DEMO'D AT E3 '07 BY CLIFFY B. IT PROMISES NEW SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGNSAND MULTI PLAYER MAPS... AND WHAT CAN BE BETTER THAN DUKING IT OUT WITH THAT BRUMAK IN HD HIGH RES SETTINGS WITH THAT `OL UNREAL III ENGINE.
I ALWAYS LOVED THE MEDAL OF HONOR SERIES. THIS TIME ITS BASICALLY CHOOSE WHERE TO FALL WHERE U PARACHUTE AND START UR ATTACK FROM THERE(ROOFTOPS, BUSHES ETC.)..PRETTY SICK IDEA AND ITS LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER!
THE FIRST BROTHERS IN ARMS (ROAD TO HILL 30) WAS PRETTY INSANE, WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POINT AND FILE ORDERS AT WILL SYSTEM. IT TAUGHT US HOW TO SUPRESS THE ENEMY, FLANK THEM, AND KILL THEM. THIS TIME AROUND IT WILL BE SIMILAR, BUT WITH MORE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE DEVELOPING TEAM IS RENDERING SCENES IN EUROPE IN REAL TIME AS THEY REALLY LOOKED ON THE DAY OF THAT SPECIFIC BATTLE U ARE IN. SOLDIERS FALL AT TIMES B/C NO HUMAN IS PERFECT, CIVILIANS INTERACT WITH U.. ETC. I THINK THAT THIS GAME IS GONNA BE A HIT, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO FACE OF WITH MEDAL OF HONOR: AIRBORNE, AND IT AIN'T GONNA BE EASY.
KILLING PPL IN GAME GREAT... ASSASINATING THEM AND THEN TRYING TO ESCAPE EVEN BETTER!!!! UBISOFT REALLY GOT IT WITH THIS ONE. WITH A NEW CROWD SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED AND BEING ABLE TO MIX IN WITH THE LOCAL MONKS TO PREVENT FROM BEING CAPTURED OR KILLED IS A CRAZY CONCEPT IN ITSELF. THEN U HAVE THE ABILITY TO SCALE WALLS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WHICH IS PRETTY AWESOME, AS WELL.
GREAT LOOKING GAME THUS FAR AND ITS ONLY COMING OUT FOR THE PC LOL. THE TRAILER WAS MIND BLOWING AS ALWAYS!
MAXIS IS AT IT AGAIN! THIS GAME IS SO INTUITIVE AND SIMPLE. IT WILL BE A HELL OF A BLAST TO PLAY.(MAKING YOUR OWN VEHICLES AND CREATURES ETC.) WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT A GAME THAT WAS MADE BY THE SAME GUY WHO MADE THE SIMS 1 AND 2.
WHO DOES NOT WANT TO GO ON A HYBORIAN ADVENTURE ON MAPS WITH SUCH LUSH GRAPHICS, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION IS PRETTY NEAT TOO, EVENTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN IN OTHER MMO'S BEFORE. IT JUST LOOKS ALOT BETTER THIS TIME AROUND.
I THINK THIS WILL BE A SLEEPER HIT. B/C OF ITS GRADE A FIGHTING SYS AND GREAT GRAPHICS THIS POLISH GAME WILL SURELY BE A GAME TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
THIS IS DEFINITELY GONNA BE A GREAT GAME.. I MEAN, WHO WOULD'NT LIKE A GAME MADE BY THE CREATORS OF THE DIABOLO SERIES ONCE AGAIN BE BROUGHT OUT INTO THE GAMING INDUSTRY? AN FPS MEETS A THIRD PERSON VIEW SHOOTER/SLASHER WITH RPG ELEMENTS, THIS ONE'S SURE TO LEAVE A MARK. GET READY TO TAKE ON THE EVIL UNDEAD.
