I wonder if Bioware got inspiration from this game when developing their paragon/renegade system.

Also its ending is another example of why you shouldn't have a cliffhanger unless you're dead certain (and not just deluded) you'll get to make a sequel.

And even then if you ask me. I've always considered it rude to do anything more than provide the possibility of sequels at the end of a complete work.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

You know what, I prefer to think Josh Caine just got roped into everything by Gillian. "Joooosh, play all the guys in my game and be executive producer... you can make it my christmas present."

If you make a wrong move with the bad guys, they kill you. Fair enough. If you make a wrong move with the good guys, they also kill you. What? Green dildo aliens need help, and you are the only one that can help them, but if you show the slightest bit of reluctance they'll murder you in a heartbeat and then wait for extinction.

If you watch the credits somebody was actually cited as doing specifically the blood and gore art for the game. As in somebody attached their name to the mspaint blood/skull graphics they overlayed over the fmvs. Like somebody is probably using that on their resume to this very day

I haven't checked, but isn't that specific person also the one who played Javelin?

That's correct: the actress who played Javalynn/Javelin (her name is inconsistent on the website, apparently) also did all the gore.

I have no idea what the gently caress anymore. Maybe they just really liked gore, and didn't intend any sexual connotations to it? Maybe Riana Rouge is daring us to believe in a world where a woman can die a violent brutal death without it coming off as a sex thing? Or, gently caress, maybe it totally is a sex thing, and this is what their kinky fantasies look like, brought to life for the price of a Chevy Lumina.

It's around 33%, I think? Ripper is kind of like Clue in that the murderer is randomized for each playthrough. Walken is one of several possibilities.

That's the way the bee bumbles.
Seriously? I mean that's probably the best way to do a murder mystery game, but if the thrust of the gameplay is tedious and mindnumbing puzzles, I'm afraid the replay value still doesn't exist. I'm super curious to see more of this game, as soon as possible, because I really want to know how they pulled this off, and also, because Christopher Walken is hilarious, and also, because RIP Ossie Davis. (Because he's dead, and it's sad, but also the game is called RIPPER.)

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Ripper randomizes the killer and will shower you with enough clues to frame each suspect every time. They couldn't really just throw away those precious FMVs to form alternate paths.

A) At one time people legitimately thought FMV games would be the next evolution of movies, and B) none of these actors' careers were at high points during the period Ripper was developed.

To be honest, i wouldn't mind if there were more games that still used FMV as cutscenes like Wing Commander 3-5, Command and Conquer. Or Headhunter on the Dreamcast. (Though there it was afair only the newscasters).

But yeah, it doesn't really work if it's a large part of the game.
