My concern is that even though the technology is more developer-friendly, game projects will be even more ambitious than before and take even longer. I suppose theoretically that shouldn't be the case, but I hope it doesn't turn out that developers spend years trying to make the goddamn graphics as overly detailed as possible- eclipsing everything else. I think in some cases, cutting corners won't really be an issue, but it could become problematic.
All I'm ho...
I think that VII's graphics are lovely. If you'd read the post you might have picked up on that. My point is that the visuals are a barrier to a lot of less discerning people appreciating and respecting the game.
If SE remade the game in the fashion I suggested in this post, it would garner respect from a younger audience, such that they could then respect the original. The point is that if SE gave it a complete graphical overall like the tech demo, that wouldn't...
Is there no first person? 'sorta Elder Scrolls game is this?
I kind of wish they weren't spunking the whole of Tamriel on us. Would've been nicer to have it teased out over various games. Not only that, but we're getting what looks to be a pretty uninspiring WoW-like imagining of it.
Ah, I don't want to discourage the developers, especially when the game's clearly at an early stage and the guy played it like a dope. MMOs aren't my ...
I'm not saying the gameplay disappoints me. How could I say that if I've never played them?
I'm saying the western vibe of the game disappoints me because it's an eastern developer. I'm disappointed that an eastern developer would make such a western game. Not that such a thing is out of bounds, but I can't help but feel this game is pandering to western tastes a little bit. I suppose From Software did make all those Kings Field games though, so whatev...
These games disappoint me because it feels like the east pandering to the west. And overall, these games seem like really generic western rpgs in the tradition of dungeons and dragons etc.
On the other hand, they are supposed to be really good anyhow, and also really challenging which I respect in this day and age (most games are pretty easy these days). I've never played any of these games since I can imagine just losing my mind playing them but yeah, I guess I've al...
Prrrretty much what I said. I still think for the sake of cohesion they should update the character models. Like I said, they could be spritely like in the DS version of IV. I think that in the midst of all the other upgrades, the original models would seem a bit out of place and would hurt immersion and cohesion.
Ya wouldn't think of reading before commenting? I've thought the same as you for years now, but I think this is actually a pretty reasonable idea for a remake.
Dugtrio is going to be amazing.
Cool original opinion bro. I can tell you really gave that one a lot of thought and aren't just reciting the usual prescribed hatewagon slogans.
Yeah, if they were going to do it. The backdrops and camera angles would have to stay the same. I don't even think they'd have to be in real time- just make them much crisper with a few little real-time elements in them.
Also, I can imagine they'd redo the field character sprites / models in the style of the compilation- THAT would be a mistake. Maybe if it were more in the style of the DS version of IV it'd work though- it'd be less dated for a new audien...
Of course graphics are important, but that doesn't mean they have to be super ridiculously realistic like Crysis.
It all depends on what kind of game you want to make- not all games have to be realistic.
For instance, the grahpics in Chrono Trigger are lovely, evocative and so memorable, but they're only like 16-bit. Then you have games like El Shaddai and Okami- not as realistic as Crysis obviously, but they still achieve a very memorable and beautif...
God the music. Turn that shit off. (Well the first song anyway) (EDIT 2: Actually just turn it all off)
Car modification culture is the biggest load of nonsense ever, but the Need for Speed Underground games were undeniably fun.
What? Normal mode was just right if you ask me. I hope they don't tone it down- that'd be too easy. You can save anywhere as it is. That really helps. I got through the game on my first time without setting off alarms and without killing people basically because of it.
That is so awesome. Terra's theme and everything. One of the characters sitting in it actually looks like Terra.
Haha that was pretty great.
The only thing is, there never would have been a cartoon like that with swearing in it.
No I agree that this game makes important steps in videogame narrative, but it thinks too rigidly about story and gameplay- it struggles to find a way to make them seamless. And I'm arguing that the reason this happened is because they were too caught up in conventional ideas of what a game is supposed to be. The gameplay of the game reflects that.
It's like they thought, "well, games HAVE to have big, crazy guns and loads of violence and health bars and blah bla...
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bioshock games can't help but be torn between innovation in videogames and conventional expectations of what videogames are supposed to be. Thus you get mindless shooting juxtaposed with entry-level philosophical rambling as well as painfully obvious themes. They appease and vindicate gamers and make them feel their chosen hobby is intelligent while simultaneously giving them the mindless entertainment they too readily expect from videoga...
The hate for him is a little bit extreme. He was just enthusiastic about all the projects that went on in SE- he played all the games they released.
I think he was just a little bit too enthusiastic. It's almost like he was amazed by all those projects because he was seeing videogames for the first time or something.
I also don't think "fans telling him all along that he should move on" is valid. It's their creative project, not yours. H...
Couldn't agree more porkChop. This needs to happen more than everything else that needs to happen from Level-5.
