f-zero/wipeout-likes were pretty big in the '90s and early 2000s and seem to have disappeared this past decade apart from pandering crap like redout, i think the last time anyone did their own thing with that concept was fatal inertia lol there's never going to be another f-zero but i feel like we're overdue for at least the next quantum redshift or something

Rollcage was loving great.Nostradingus posted:Launching a game for the first time and going directly into gameplay rather than a tutorial Not to get too wanky over From Soft but I think that's why their games were a real "breath of fresh air". They just drop you into a world with a vague story line background and you just have to figure poo poo out. There are notes to tell you what to do if you read them but it's not forced on screen. At risk of a cliche. It's a lot like Zelda

rollcage came on a cd with my new pc when i upgraded from 100mhz straight to 1ghz, i remember it was fun, but a lot of racing games have the same problem that a lot of shmups have, which is that they lack personality

3rd party strategy guides with zero editorial oversight. I loved the super old ones where some guy would try to write tips in a black and white book with either terrible screenshots or hand drawn maps. Our library had a few of those. This kinda worked for stuff like Zelda where he could point out stuff on a map, but I remember for Maniac Mansion the chapter was way too long as he had to write "push brick in basement" like twenty times.

The Nintendo Power produced strategy guides were really sleek. I remember the Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess ones being particularly good

Fungah! posted:nintendo power giving away a free strategy guide with a renewal ftw No joke in like 2004 or something my Nintendo Power subscription was ending and I didn't care about any of the guides they were offering (there was a set list I remember, Pikmin was one of them) anyway so I actually called them and asked them if there was any way they could send me the SNES link to the Past player's guide even though it hadn't been an option for a good 5 years. The guy says "lemme see what I can find" and puts me on hold for what must have been half an hour. he gets back and says "wow yeah I found one, we'll send it to you" and I actually got it

the AA game. always launched at like $39.99 or dropped there immediately. there would alway be a mid range celebrity VA, like michael madsen or bill belamy. aim down sights was always on like R3 and the cars always drove oddly.

Speaking of genres that completely died out, those rotoscoped platformer fluid motion games like Another World, Flashback, Blackthorne, etc. I liked all of those and they seemed to have been a mid 90s fad and that was it.

The ability to mod games is a big one that's dying out, or at least changing. Since big name games are so based around buying the next iteration anything that keeps people playing the older one is bad for business. And now if you have an idea for a game you just make it in unity and sell it on steam instead of building it off of Half Life or something. I also think the steam workshop has dampened the community aspect of modding a bit, no more modding forums filled with people's half finished terrible mods.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:The ease of picking up unity or whatever and putting something on Steam or itch is the big one I think, that and everyone wanting to be the next twitch breakout It’s also important to note that games are so much cheaper and plentiful now. Quake II and half life were $50 and you needed to make those last. Now you can get most games for like 40% off within a month of release. Desert combat was created because there was no modern battlefield equivalent. Now there’s a large scale multiplayer combat game in any setting you can ask for with at least enough people playing to find a game within half an hour

I’m bored on the train, if you haven’t noticed.

Unity uses mono/c# for game logic which is notoriously easy to inject and decompile/recompile.
