I'm watching someone do a blind playthrough of Fear & Hunger (OneyPlays, a youtuber I've heard of but only watched some animations of in the past), and, warning-required-content of the game aside, it's fascinating how much of the player's success is based around knowledge through multiple runs. It's similar to Outer Wilds or other timeloop games but with a very different style of game, and interestingly, without an explicit timeloop mechanic. Are there many other games like this, where a seasoned player can do far more than a novice one simply based on what they know vs skill (like in action games)? I think that's what intrigues me most about that game. I mean knowledge about the world and how it functions, not just something like what card combos go well together in a roguelike deckbuilder or what have you.

Soulslikes kinda work like that, a lot of the difficulty comes from every enemy and boss having a moveset to learn and most of your retries happen when the game surprises you with something you've never seen before. Which is why NG+ runs tend to take 1/3 of the time your first run did even though it's supposedly harder from increased stats

Been looking at an LP of the 7th Guest VR remake and I am very impressed by how it managed to incorporate FMV footage into VR, honestly it makes me want to try out VR for once, looks awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pu7QbcZuXw&t=1597s

I think Cyan mentioned they have ways of upscaling the original FMV performances from Riven, though I'm not sure if that's the solution they'll go with. Both Gehn and Catherine's actors have passed away, RIP.

What form are the masters in? They probably didn't shoot on film, but they must have archived copies at significantly better quality than what's in the game Obduction in VR had FMVs presented as 2D layers in places where you were constrained and couldn't move to awkward angles, like watching them through a small window

Considering that even Rand would look weird as Atrus with 25 years of aging, I would think a recast would be in store even without that. Also Catherine's voice was dubbed over in the original anyway, so if they have to record new/better audio, they could just do that for Gehn as well.

It's possible to reach the super secret ending of Void Stranger on your first playthrough, but no one does that because it takes multiple laps and a lot of poking at how the world is put together to get there. Rain World isn't "run-based", it's a huge open world exploration game, like a metroidvania. Except the only upgrades you get in Rain World are to your real life brain, as you learn (by death) how the world's ecosystem works and where your sluggy cat slots into it.

Video Games Thx posted:Most games, really I'd argue otherwise. There's a difference between knowing how to execute a punishing combo or something and knowing that sleeping in a room while the torturer still lives is a chance for a gruesome fate, a difference between a terrible experience being something that you may as well just load from when it happens and an experience to learn some more before you perish and need to load. Specifically for that second one, in the play I was watching, they jumped down a pit. Upon landing, the character lost both their legs on account of, well, jumping down a long pit, and was forced to crawl. In almost any other game, it'd be a lot easier just to reload, but they kept playing in order to see what else they could learn about the area. Stuff like this makes knowledge its own sort of meta-currency in the game, something more valuable that experience points, or equipment. Exploration is risky, but valuable not just because of what you might throw into your inventory, but because of what you might learn. Pathologic is kind of similar, now that I think about it. Learning how the game works beyond, like, its actual gameplay mechanics is crucial if you want to beat it with any level of what may be called success.

Video Games Thx posted:I guess i don't really get your point? They mean Mastery It's interesting to watch LPs and Streams of people who have played a game either multiple times or for an extremely long time - they're able to predict outcomes as they have a thorough understanding of how the game operates An easy example would be Binding of Isaac. Rooms are randomly generated, but there are usually hidden rooms you can bomb your way into once you understand how the room layouts are generated. It's not a difficult skill to learn, but it means you can be conservative in runs with low bomb drops

Video Games Thx posted:I guess i don't really get your point? I'm not surprised, I'm communicating it extremely poorly. Most games reward knowing the game world, and the world's mechanics, but it's not a particularly large part of the game. There's a difference between learning a game giving you a reward like a slightly easier experience or some extra money, and learning the game being an explicit part of the game, required for you to move forward like levelling up in most RPGs would be. In Outer Wilds, if you don't learn how the world itself works, outside of the basics of flying and movement, you aren't beating the game. In Fear and Hunger, you can be as good and as lucky as the best player out there, but if you don't know what to avoid doing outside of combat, what enemies to avoid, how to appease what gods and whatnot, it's the same. I guess it's asking a mastery of the game outside of its primary mechanics - combat, platforming, etc. Which is what I've referred to as mastering the game's world, I suppose. Ah, it's not important I suppose. I just always like seeing the first lesson people learn in this game is "Don't stay outside when it says the barking is getting closer"

It reminds me of card games. It takes playing the game and trial and error to see what cards interact with each other to generate win conditions.

Morpheus posted:I'm not surprised, I'm communicating it extremely poorly. Others have kind of alluded to it but no seriously traditional roguelikes were like this, once upon a time. If you look at games like Nethack or Ancient Domains of Mystery, they would include just an absolutely bizarre amount of useful stuff you can learn that goes far beyond just "I know which skills and spells combo together". From like, the fairly common knowledge Medusa has an instant kill beam attack, but you can ignore it if you can make your character blind in some way (either magical or putting a blindfold on, whatever works). To weird stuff like, there's a magic word you can inscribe on tiles to stop monsters from attacking you while you're standing on it (but it only works on monsters that respect it). Do you know how to appease the cat lord? Do you know how to make sacrifices to your own god (and, consequently, how to avoid getting sacrificed by other sentient creatures)? Do you know the single use case of the Potion of Uselessness? All things that can increase your chance of survival without being explicitly, directly related to combat.

Like, it looks great, the captures are high quality, you can walk around them and get different angles on the scenes, the performances are hammy and fun, and it all adds together to make my brain launch straight past the uncanny valley into the “this works so well I’m barely even thinking about it” zone.
