Kirby having weird poo poo is precedented, but horrible slime chimera monster wall was out there even for the franchise where the final boss of two games was an eyeball monster that bleeds when you attack it.

CJacobs posted:Here is an actual spoiler, this time for for 3: you're correct, Aurelia was created for PreSequel! So she was brought back as a main villain in 3. She is just as much of a queen on the other side of the conflict. The handsome doppelganger was also retconned back to life because the writers liked him so much! IIRC the doppelganger didn't actually die anyway, in 2 there's a mission where you kill Handsome Jack body doubles but they're just wearing holograms, not the full cosmetic surgery treatment like he got. I got the impression there's some pretty interesting story stuff in the game trying to get past Anthony Burch's bullshit.

BioEnchanted posted:The worst part of it was the final boss's final QTE where you have to both wiggle the analog stick WHILE mashing one of the face buttons. That was the most stressful QTE I've ever had to do, although what it resulted in was pretty rad. I'm going back through MGSV, and that type of QTE happens when you get to close to sleep grenade gas and have to force yourself to stay awake. No, I didn't do it three times in the first encounter I used those   But speaking of MGSV, I just ran into my favorite little thing: https://i.imgur.com/z6RetQ5.mp4 He's gonna help me fulton so many guys

Yeah, it feels like we've been in a state of more incremental graphics upgrades for a long time now, but MGSV regularly has me consciously thinking about how good it looks every time I play. Especially all the bloomy lighting effects at night, they did a great job there.

Looking good is a lot more about the art design and what procedural generation tools you used for the greebles than it is about digital horsepower. Any zero-effort asset-flip can have high-res graphics these days, it takes more than that to impress people.

Art direction, design and aesthetics have always been the actual important part of graphics.

I can never imagine a point when the Witcher 3 will ever be truly ugly, it just works. Even things like infinity engine games will always work due to the strength of the style and direction.

Big hands, triangular faces. A species of moles.

I like the dramatic irony in Arc: Twilight of the Spirits. Darc is currently in the area that his brother started in and has no idea that his mother is just about half a mile thataway.

Most of the NPCs in Witcher 3 being ugly fits my worldview of that place. As long as Geralt is smouldering and my magical waifus are gorg then that's all that matters.

Philippe posted:Big hands, triangular faces. The artists actually were making each social caste conform to a particular set of facial and body builds. The Nobles, the Soldiers, the Commoners, and the Thugs all have their own visual morphic style. I thought that was pretty cool.

Inspector Gesicht posted:There's a list of games that got spinoffs nobody wanted because they came at the expense of an actual installment. - Spyro after 3 - Crash Bandicoot on PS2 - Halo 4 And all of the original creators of these franchises moved on to wildly successful new shores (Infamous/Spider-Man, Uncharted, Destiny). Conversely, there's a trend of original creators (single people or team) making spiritual sequels to their beloved sequels - again, with the same gameplay - and often that also doesn't work out: - Yooka-Laylee (Banjo-Kazooie) - Hellgate: London (Diablo 2) - Mighty No. 9 (Mega Man) Perhaps the best of those efforts is Bloodstained (Castlevania), though that has its flaws too. But that's not a law or anything. It really just depends on who's making the game, and you can find plenty of examples where they assembled a new team, gave them the license to continue/revive an old series, and the resulting game is excellent: - Mega Man 11 - Crash 4 - the new Resident Evils In conclusion, talented people make good games and a game's name is just that.
