Phantasium posted:I'm not worried about the FFVII remake because it's being done by CyberConnect2 which launched 7 games, three animes, several manga and poo poo all for one series just on the PS2. On the other hand, Noumra thought Kitase was directing the game until the trailer released and he saw his name. On the game they'd already started prelim work on. My confidence is not high.

Some people like watching other people play games, especially if they're funny or interesting or do stuff the average player can't. Also watching random people playing a game gives you a better feel for whether you'd enjoy it than trailers or promo stuff.

It's crazy how much some of them seem to make in donations if you watch one of the big streamers for like 10 minutes I guess it takes a lot of work to get to that point but it's weird seeing someone play a game/not really saying much and making hundreds of dollars in a few minutes

people get lonely or whatever and want to not only watch someone play games but also interact with them so they feel important and part of the show so they do this by spoiling surprises, spamming what to do if someone gets stuck, and paying to have their name pop up with a sound effect to get noticed.

Empress Brosephine posted:can someone explain to me why twitch is so popular. i just dont understand watching people play games long form i guess Find someone you find funny or who has a particular talent like speedrunners, or plays obscure stuff that you can't get (shoutouts to Macaw45) and it can be pretty entertaining. Though to be fair you could get the same out of Youtube videos, you just wouldn't get to interact with each other and the host I'll also use it to get an impression of new games sometimes since I can pop in somewhere in the middle without having to scroll through a bunch of videos, plus I can ask a question and I have a general idea of how competent the people I follow are and who will be putting in more effort I don't tend to like the massively popular channels where they scroll too fast to chat, but there are even a couple of those on my list since they're entertaining.

My confidence is not high. I still feel like that was only ever supposed to be a cute anecdote that people instantly took to prove massive mismanagement at the top of Square. Like if he had said he wasn't aware he was working on the game at all that would be troubling, but as-is he just didn't know his position on the project. I mean if I got taken off of as the director of a game in the series that represents the entire company you might not think you'd have such a prolific part on the remake of the most favored game in that series regardless of working on it in the past.

I like watching people play games that gave me a "spark" back in the day because the only way to get that again is to watch other people play that game for the first time. I want to play Super Metroid and Shadow of the Colossus again for the first time.

i mean i played and streamed super metroid for the first time on twitch and it was fun, but i was the streamer. I didn't understand the people who watched me literally every moment of the game  speedruns are fun if they're like 5 minutes, I just don't get the long form. oh well.

Jay Rust posted:Honestly, mobile games in general seem very underpriced, it's an unusual phenomenon Its a hyper competitive market compared to console games. The barrier to entry is so much lower so you get a ton of indies trying to break into the scene and constantly having to undercut each other for any attention at all, then you've got free games on top of that competing with them too. Keeps things super cheap. Also they're mostly digital and priced accordingly. Console games are in the extremely awkward position where digital releases generally are more expensive than physical in order to avoid offending retailers, when digital should be way way cheaper.

Snak posted:The Witcher 3 was $60, one of the largest RPGs ever made, fully voice acted. FFXV is probably going to be bigger than W3, and it's only $60. W3 has way more than 40 hours of gameplay, and I'm assuming the FFXV will. Dud you should like watch a trailer of the FF7 remake before you make all these weird angry posts that have nothing to do with reality. They're completely remaking the game. Its more like an FPS or Kingdom Hearts than the original FF7. "what the gently caress are they adding?" EVERYTHING.

Watching streams instead of television programs is just another way millennials are destroying the traditional economy (see also: "diamonds" , "houses") and I'm glad of it.

You're right, I didn't watch a recent trailer. There was an IGN article in april that said FFVII would be "multiple full games" and that they were using FFXIII as their template for how it would be released. That's literally the last time I gave a poo poo about it. I didn't even know there were gameplay trailers out.

Recalling the amount of people that dropped a tenner (sometimes on shared accounts) to read the dangan ronpa and dangan ronpa 2 lp's will always get a chuckle out of me. They ought to come out with another one of those games so Lowtax can line his pockets with gold once more.

That's literally the last time I gave a poo poo about it. I didn't even know there were gameplay trailers out. Basically they realized that simply updating the graphics on FFVII wouldn't satisfy the fans, so they're instead making a huge insane fan-dream version of FFVII where every little screen is a huge, massively detailed map that you can freely run around and explore and fight enemies with Kingdom Hearts / FFXV style real-time melee combat stuff. Its a gigantic undertaking. We'll see how they end up pricing the episodes, but if they remake all of FFVII on that scale, its going to end up being over a hundred hours long easy.
