The article does not make any spec based predictions.
The article never pretends that will not happen. More like you are pretending like you read the article, but never did.
What point do you think is ignoring tech?
Well the point you are making is subjective, the point he is making is objective. Though perhaps not directly voiced as such.
It is an objective fact that the price of the components alone is more value for money on a console compared to a pc.
Now of course a pc can do lots of tasks a console never will. But like you said, that is a subjective argument.
So you think one should have the choice to play a 2D fighter in first person as well then?
More choice is all good and well. But game design and vision has to take precedent at some point.
And if people bothered to check these things out more closely. Or at the very least looked to someone that does.
The footage from e3 was 4k. The footage from gamescom was 1080p. Why I don't know. But you cannot compare the two directly.
Digital foundry commented on this and found it especially strange because they released the footage from gamescom as a 4k video, but it is clearly rendered in 1080p. So it looks blurry. Most probably someone in the ma...
The game is already confirmed to use a lot of reflections. So you will see your character all the time. Just from the perspective of your character.
There is a big difference between being engrossed and being immersed. Why are you pretending otherwise.
To be engrossed is to absorb all attention or interest of something.
To be immersed. Well lets take this quote.
"The name is a metaphoric use of the experience of submersion applied to representation, fiction or simulation. Immersion can also be defined as the state of consciousness where a "visitor" (Maurice Benayoun...
You are creating your own subjective definition of the word immersion.
This is utterly pointless.
Yes a third person game can be more immersive than a first person game.
The problem however is that by definition, and that is in any media mind you, first person is more immersive than third person.
By the very nature of positioning. And yes it is directly related to creating the feeling that you are actually there.
No I am not. It just is not controversial.
There are many rpgs with first person perspective. Most og them have some form og character customization.
It has never been controversial. It is even to some degree true for everyone fan favorite, skyrim. Even though skyrim lets you switch to third person despite the game clearly not being made for it.
That is not the point though. If cdproject red think that the customization tools are impo...
OMG. This comment field has to be one of the weirdest things on this site. I mean I know that the N4G community has no objective bone in them and that they tend to follow the flow. I. e. where popular opinion is treated as fact.
But this is beyond me. People are actively arguing that immersion has nothing to do with camera perspective. Which is objectively untrue. But I get that a lot of people love third person games (I am one of them).
First person and ...
So you don't think that by it's very nature VR has more potential to be immersive than lets say. Street Fighter?
You got to be kidding me. Camera perspective directly affects immersion.
This whole thing has to be one of the weirdest controversies I have seen in my days in the gaming community. When on earth did it become controversial to have a shooter control from the first person perspective?
I mean I prefer third person most of the time too, but this is pretty standard fare for a game that mainly features shooting mechanics as the core of their combat system.
I mean it is a bit weird to have the game feature a robust character creator wi...
And you still can't produce any reasoning as to why you think they are similar. Nor a cohesive argument. All you seemingly do is throw out weak ad hominems while stating your unustified opinion as fact.
Again. Give me a reason as to why you think Yakuza has been evolving the genre of shen mue?
The mechanic of how you open doors being different is not the developers lying to you, it is the reality of game design. Trailers are made from builds far from the release build. This is common knowledge and it happens with every game.
The issue is that the game No Man's Sky was supposed to be, no matter how many so called lies are being called out, is what the game was at launch. The majority of marketing and interview statements support this.
Peop...
I asked you how you could claim that Yakuza evolved the adventure genre.
Then you say I am moronic for saying the games are only superficially similar?
Yakuza is a beat em up. Because the gameplay is mainly based around the beat em up mechanics.
Shen Mue is an adventure game because the game is, by a huge margin, is based around it's simulation based adventure mechanics. The games do not share meaningful design pillars except for h...
I cant take anyone that says Yakuza evolved the genre serious. Shen mue and Yakuza is nothing alike. While Yakuza is often touted as a spiritual successor it is only so superficially.
Shen mue is a simulation based adventure game, while Yakuza is a straight up beat em up. The only thing they have in common is how they deal with mini games and collectibles.
So I ask.. How on earth did Yakuza evolve the adventure genre?
You mean the lies you told yourself to get yourself hyped on a game that never existed.
No mans sky was exactly the game it was marketed as. A niche game about solitary exploration of a procedurally generated universe.
The people that complain about these so called lies wanted the game to be something else and consequently ignored everytime they were explicitely told otherwise by Sean Murray himself.
This is clearly deej being the pr mouthpiece he is. Everything he says is carefully vetted marketing nuggets, no reason to take anything out of it either way.
He is probably right in not just blaming Activision though. Mistakes were made, both partiets are probably to blame in their own way. Lets just hope bungie learned something and are able to do better, which so far seems to be the case.
This reply is just ignorant as this was specifically addressed in the article and you voicing the same in different words simply strengthen the article's point.
