Bethesda does that frequently, only by accident.

I think some missions in Saints Row IV used that conceit. You fought off waves of T-posing mascots riding golf carts. God, that game was dumb.

It was meta-clever because the premise of the game is that the chaos you're creating is overloading the alien Matrix. So if a fight went on for too long and got too intense the alien graphics algorithms would start to break and intentional T-poses would show up.

Yeah, but it also wasn't really very funny, exactly because it was trying to be way too meta and clever about it. It's a game breaking in creative and unplanned ways that makes it humorous.

 It's like a man calmly walking onto a stage, putting down a banana peel, and then stepping on it and slipping before walking back off the stage. If you think people should laugh at that, you don't understand what a joke is. I don't think it's a bad game, it was a very fun game. The glitch animations just weren't funny.

Actors in comedy movies are just actors. What they're doing and saying is all scripted, not real conversations or actions. Not sure why people think it's funny, everyone in the scene knows the lines beforehand.

The thing that makes the SRIV glitchiness work, to me, is that the game itself never calls attention to it. It happens, it's intentional, to a degree it's unmissable, but the game never forces it center-stage.

as long as we're talking about this: whoever wrote the ascii shader in R4 deserves a medal. I understand exactly what that is, how it works technically, but it's still jawdropping to me

ArcMage posted:Extremely uncertain as to the mechanism by which discs are being damaged by a software event. Early model 360s were notorious for scratching the poo poo out of discs that were spinning too fast, particularly if the console wasn't laying down completely flat. There's still an ongoing class action lawsuit about it. I can totally believe that a glitch in a game made the drive spin like crazy.

That's entirely possible. The game gets stuck a read loop, spins up the drive, and then just keeps spinning. A particularly bad glitch could even make the read head zip back and forth on sector search continuously, which wouldn't add to the damage (unless the drive is spectacularly hosed) but would definitely shorten the lifetime of the device.

You could reliably gash a 360 disc by rotating from flat to vertical quickly while the machine was on As an aside, my 360s had a glitch where I only ever bought one, but yet currently have 6 red ringed 360s that have appeared over the years

The better joke, which did start as a glitch or dev oversight, was the chase scene fleeing the bondage sex club in Saints Row III. You rescue a guy being held captive in a sex dungeon and proceed outside, where you commandeer the nearest vehicle: a rickshaw pulled by a sex slave in a gimp suit. Several BDSM-outfit clad goons pile into their own rickshaws and you proceed to have an extremely low-speed chase. When the developers created the rickshaws, they made them just as another vehicle in the game's engine, so the game treats them like a very low-speed car. Meaning a wooden rickshaw pulled by a ballgagged man in a leather outfit violently explodes into a fireball when destroyed. The developers thought it was hilarious so they left it in.

This reminds of the story about how Boar Drifting got included in Nier. Now that's the kind of thing that makes me laugh.

Really, more games should take the Goldeneye approach to property destruction. Everything explodes. Even filing cabinets and desk chairs.

And that's why both Nier titles allow you play Tokyo Drift with giant boars (and moose.) It actually does massive amounts of damage, by the way. Pretty fun.

rigging is the shittiest part of animation and after you do it for long enough you can never not over analyze how people walk ever again

This is also why studios will develop one rig and associated animations and use it for everything they possibly can, with the side benefit of making easy character swap hacks/easter eggs possible.

One of these days I'm gonna do a gimmick Fallout playthrough where I only ever attack enemies' groin (when they have one, anyway). If the radiation doesn't render my enemies sterile, I will.

moist turtleneck posted:rigging is the shittiest part of animation and after you do it for long enough you can never not over analyze how people walk ever again I used to model, rig, and animate stuff. Made a humanoid with walk, run, jump, climb, crouch, turn, and turn-while-crouching animations. This involved an awful lot of very slowly acting out animations in my apartment so I could track where my body parts were and translate them into poses. Animation is not something you do if you want to maintain a charade that you're a dignified person.
