I've said it before, but Alien: Isolation is complete justification for the Microsoft Kinect's existence. (Loading times were dogshit though.) The camera picked up on your body language and moved Amanda accordingly... it's like how some folks raised their hands when playing Nintendo and making Mario jump? Except, it actually had an effect on the game. It's probably great on VR, too.

Peyote Panda posted:All this talk really makes me want to go back and replay Alien: Isolation again. The gameplay was excellent, but even more so the story and artistic design was so faithful to that setting. The amount of work the devs put into recreating that world as depicted in Alien was amazing and I spent a lot of time in that game just roaming around taking that in. It's one of the scariest games I've ever played and proboably in my top 10 games period. And you're totally right about the atmosphere and the graphics.

Watching Predator for the first time in a while and I like how in the beginning Arnold has the line "we're a rescue team, not assassins" when Dillon presses him about some mission in the past. Fun little characterization for the movie.

One hilarious bit that I never noticed before was just after they completely destroyed that village - like absolutely loving wrecked the entire region and dead bodies all over the place - Dutch calls over Mac and says “Clear the area - no traces!” https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/044ecc85-f65d-4206-af2c-3fd518ae49c4

Fun little characterization for the movie. This made the iconic "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!" line even better, because you realize that Dutch really does want to save people (i mean, people he sees as on his team >.>). The way he kicks the gun out of the woman's hands. He's watched his whole team get annihilated by this psycho alien and its driving him over the edge. Saving this woman becomes his goal that keeps him alive or something.

Schwarzwald posted:hate it when scifi talks about God stuff Prometheus is an exception for me because it's so wonderfully anti-theistic. It's a deeply humanist (android-ist?) take on the very idea of a creator—if there is a God, he is flawed and wanting and inherently false. You must kill your creator to become your own master. But most of the time that poo poo sucks. I've got a soft spot for The Last Question, though.

Get from the tour vehicles to the bunker in the Visitor's Center, maybe having to get Tim and Lex there alive if it wouldn't end up like an escort mission. If not, I will begrudgingly (happily) take a The Thing game from them as a consolation prize.

The JWE games are basically on rails and don't really allow for much freedom. Dinosaurs breaking loose isn't particularly interesting or fun in them, it's just another thing to manage. There's very little variety, and though it's a decent zoo simulator it's not a very good JP game. Both of those games are huge missed opportunities, imo—unless you just want to watch dinosaurs snooze under trees and manage their food intake. In my mind, the ultimate JP game would be a park builder where you create a Jurassic Park on an island up until it opens for guests, at which point a massive storm hits and it switches over to a first or third person view of a character who has to survive the night and get Jurassic Park back online and minimize guest deaths. It's half park-builder, half survival-horror, where the goal is to try to maximize profits while not totally loving yourself over when you actually have to deal with the repercussions of your actions. Adding more carnivores means more profit, but only if you survive the night. If you die, you lose. If you go into the red, you lose. If a large enough percentage of your guests die, you lose. It's the natural extension of Sim City where you finish your city then decide to unleash a ton of disasters onto it once you're bored. And it would totally bomb because those are two very different types of gamers who wouldn't want to deal with the other half of the game. Also from a development standpoint it would be too expensive because you're basically developing two interconnected games. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jun 11, 2022 |

They could do something like how there was Take the A Train which was a train sim but also compatible with Sim City where you could first person run YOUR city's railways. Like make a regular park management game but make an add on/DLC/whatever where all the poo poo goes down. Hell even the Sim City games let you play with how often natural disasters would happen and stuff. This game owned.

If I was a $$$ person I'd have a game like Sim Tower but instead of a skyscraper it's a Weyland-Yutani colony and then after you achieve enough profits to get promoted you get a mode where it goes to poo poo and you get to first person Alien Isolation your way through it as a lowly worker there or whatever.

I just can't see any major studio doing it. But it would be amazing to have a standalone survival horror game where you can play out scenarios that people have uploaded from the park builder game, kind of like Super Mario Maker.

It's basically the idea of Actraiser back on the SNES, which nobody has yet picked up and realized enough now that current generations can do it properly. Mario Maker is the best/closest we have to build and play but it's way different.

It could be asymmetrical, where one group of players builds the scenario and the other group tries to survive it.

If by "modern" you mean HD and running on current machines, I've got great news for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZBXKRebDzc Though if you mean, y'know, playable, well, uh. At least there's a pretty strong modding community out there, apparently.
