I bought Beyond Two Souls yesterday, a game made by Quantic Dream (responsible for Heavy Rain and the upcoming Detroit Become Human). If you're not aware, Beyond Two Souls is basically a game about a girl who has a ghost attached to her which affects her life in various ways - you are able to view the world from the perspective of the ghost at times. At one point I was walking down a street and saw a guy reading a newspaper, I was able to take a look at the inside pages using the ghost view. One of the articles was about the Origami Killer (from Heavy Rain) still being at large, which puts Beyond Two Souls in the same universe as Heavy Rain.

David Cage references his past work in his games. Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy had an article mentioning his first game, Omikron.

HR had its flaws, but Perfect Crime will always stick with me. Are there any other games that allow for an outcome like that based on tiny choices throughout the game?

Grey Fox posted:Wait so does that mean (Heavy Rain spoilers) the Perfect Crime ending is canon, or does BTS take place during Heavy Rain? The only remotely comparable game is Until Dawn, which can end with the deaths of all, none, or many combinations of the characters.

In Shadow Complex, you can leave as soon as you get back to the car. This technically counts as finishing the game. "Plenty of fish in the sea."

In Overwatch, Using the "Hello" voice command causes your character's left hand to come in from offscreen and give a wave in addition to their voice clip. The character Junkrat has a detonator which he holds in his left hand as long as his mine is deployed. Instead of simply not playing the wave animation while the mine is out, he has a unique animation in which he wiggles three of his fingers, holding the detonator quite loosely in the process. It's very him.

I was in the mood so I'm replaying Viking Battle for Asgard on the 360, a fun little Viking-em-up where you play a warrior who nearly died in a climactic battle for Midgard against the forces of Hel. Freya steps in and makes you her champion. Something I'd forgotten about is that the platforming in the game is actually not bad. The jump is on the Y button so you think it's an underutilised trash move with it's only use being in combat, but when actually platforming the Anemic jump that Skarin does with no contexts becomes a leap to wherever you are trying to jump to, as long as it's not too far away or too high up. He also automatically scrambles up small ledges and if you gently caress up on a narrow walkway, Skarin grabs the edge and you can just pull your self up, or shimmy around the ledge for sneak moves if needed (Skarin shimmy's really quickly). You'll only fall if you want to fall. It is expected to the a pain to do but it's actually kinda of fun. Also the key scenes are narrated by Brian Blessed which is just fantastic

In Factorio there are trains. OK a game having trains isn't exactly new and unusual but the game actually has trains damage things if the train hits it going fast enough. This can be a hazard to the player; a fast moving train hurts a lot Of course that's also a danger to the biters. The little thing is that the game tracks how many things your individual trains have killed. Every now and again I'll be messing around with a train's orders and I'll notice the mouse over window will say something like "Kills: 37." And I'm like "go you, train."

This game also had achievement points that that ended in odd denominators, so my entire xbox360 life had the last digit ending in a 3 or an 8. Horrible.

Rock Band 3 had achievements worth 4 and 6 points, and they were for calibrating your A/V and connecting to rockband.com respectively. It's a pretty smart way to get people to do both, since they're bound to do at least one (most likely calibration). Now I want to see a game give out 7 points for something like booting up the game and 3 for something ludicrously difficult.

Double Dragon Neon specifically gave you 1 point for starting the game as a "curse" ("Nyah ha ha! Now finish what you have started!") and 9 points for beating the last boss.

Hahahah I forgot about Viking* triggering me so loving hard when I first played it. I got about half way into it, DETERMINED to get a full thousand to round out my achievement score then kinda realised I didn't actually care and jibbed it. I remember loving the combat in Viking but HATING the forced stealth sections. Is it backwards compatible for the Xbone? I kinda wish I'd have seen it through now. *Maybe? I know it was either that or the Crash Bandicoot game that had weird achievement numbers.

Because at the point in the game where you should be automating trains you shouldn't have enough armor to not die instantly.

In Factorio you can now load trains with rocket fuel and they will roar around at nearly 300 kph, and it's almost too bad the game doesn't have ragdoll physics because I think it would be like when you get killed by a giant in Skyrim. You'd just get catapulted into another zip code.

Would be nice to hear him in more games, though.

There's a game control software called VoiceAttack - Uses voice recognition to trigger macros and keyboard commands. A company called HCS Voicepacks makes specialized response and command packs for Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen. One of them is voiced by Brian Blessed. https://www.hcsvoicepacks.com/products/vasco I've got that pack, and it's about as magical as you'd think.

There's a line in Kingdom Hearts 2 that always makes me laugh a little, where the hooded figure working with Ansem in the intro questions his reasons for not allowing Roxas to leave town and go to another location in the simulation. The line: "Is it that hard to make a beach?" First of all idiot, YES! In this simulation, it would be a right pain, it's already chugging rendering pure concrete brick and other relatively static textures, glitches are cropping up already. In a beach, all of a sudden you have to render an enormous amount of water, and also realistic sand, both really computationally expensive particle effects. On top of that there are interactions with each other, and other scenic elements like wind. That many clashing effects in a simulation that's already having trouble keeping up? Yeah, nothings going to break the illusion like Roxas stepping off the train and finding he;s moving at a blazing 3 FPS before the computer just bluescreens and straight up kicks him out of the sim entirely.

Roxas would also be lagging along with the simulation so really it doesn't matter how slowly each frame happens, from his point of view it's going to be happening in real-time. If the real world started moving at 3 FPS you wouldn't notice, because your perception and thinking speed would also be slowed the same amount.
