GameTap - GDC 08 Blog: Prototype Panel

GameTap writes: Open-world games-the term that both lead designer Eric Holmes and executive producer Tim Bennison use to describe games such as Grand Theft Auto-are complex affairs. During this lecture about their thoughts and design goals for Prototype, they threw a lot of information at the audience: ranging from a comparison of gameplay models for other genres, to how the 1951 film The African Queen has a poignant quote about human behavior that helps shape the team's view on player behavior (when Bogart comments "A man takes a drop too much once in a while, it's only human nature").

While the panel didn't show anything really new (most of the gameplay footage and details are the same as what GameTap saw in our first preview), it was still fascinating to hear about some of the under-the-hood items that crossed the developers' mind.

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos748d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
