Jesus christ, it's apparently not socially active enough and/or too socially tryhard to just be amused in passing at idiots getting angry at whatever the gently caress y'all need to relax.

I think what people are saying is maybe the reason people have bought the switch is for reasons other than Netflix so maybe it's not as big of a wait-wait-wait failure as you suggest? Maybe? Am I wrong here?

I still can't believe what a masterstroke it was to get Amon Tobin to do the soundtrack for Chaos Theory. He should score all Splinter Cell games for forever.

Bully is the best rpg set in modern times. Seriously though, I'd play a Spielbergian early 80s suburban kids-on-bikes rpg if anyone wants to make one.

The Walled City features prominently in The Bourne Supremecy novel and lots of literature. It's cited heavily throughout cyberpunk lit and media as a primary influence. Something about the layers upon layers of unregulated, unfettered, and blind-eyed development. Synthetic design growing and expanding itself like an organic creature. There's a photo book about it: https://www.amazon.com/City-Darkness-Life-Kowloon-Walled/dp/1873200137 But the price has only ever risen, outpacing my willingness to spend increasing amounts of money on it. In other news, what if I just used the HZD map for mainline quest stuff and tried to explore everything else organically? I'm happy to hear there's no mini-map or anything.

As per usual all of these issues are infinitely more complex and interconnected than people want to paint them. There's a vast spectrum running from "actual racism and antisemitism" all the way down to "quotes memes with friends because that's what all teenagers ever have done yes even you it's just they were called dumb and dumber and Austin powers quotes back then". Lots of stuff in between. Kids can even yell jokes in one part of the spectrum while actually holding beliefs in another part. I know it's crazy, but they're very similar to you and your friends when you were teenagers! mutata fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Mar 14, 2017 |

Frostbite is a rendering engine, it does not control art direction. ME has the same lighting engine, but it's not lighting photoscanned real life assets like is happening in Battlefield, for example.

It's pretty much "Oh look, here's a WOMAN who may or may not have been involved, let's just attack HER". From what I've gathered she worked in the mocap studio which is, like, 1 stop among 20 that animation data makes on its way to your screen.

Abzu is NOT Journey. Abzu is fun but light. A spectacle with some peppered messaging. Every time it comes up I mention that I played it with my 3 year old on purpose. It's like going to an aquarium but a heavily themed, light storyline aquarium. Edit: It is very joyful and chill, though. mutata fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Mar 20, 2017 |

CJacobs, come to the 3DCG thread in CreativeConvention we will help you. Edit: Writing for anything else IS the project. Movies and TV get closest, but even then they follow the writing super closely. Writing for video games is only PART of the project, and often times not even the MAIN part and often times it's being done concurrently with design and production and will have to be changed to suit gameplay, visuals, technical limitations, etc etc. It's super complicated. Imo the best videogame writing is what's called just "world building" in other writing mediums. You create a place and establish rules and history for how it works and then you have to let the player poke at it as best you can. Like what BOTW is doing right now. mutata fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Mar 23, 2017 |

Well let's define "video game writing". Is it dialog? Is it story beats? Is it world building?

Help Im Alive posted:I'm not a writer but why is this a difficult thing do to Haha, try it sometime. It's hard to make anything artificial feel natural. Conversations in any writing in addition to feeling natural also need to be true to character, progress storyline, plot, or character arcs, and not speak against anything that was said before that scene or will be said in the future. Oh, also it needs to be entertaining and/or endearing and/or any other emotion. It's not really like real human dialog at all, it just has to have a wrapper around d what it's actually doing and that wrapper is often labeled "sounds natural".

Lobok posted:Yeah it should basically never happen. The interrupted line should have extra, meaningless words tacked on that are intended to be missed by the audience once the emphasis is shifted to the new speaker. It's even worse when subtitles are on because you can see the painful transition coming a mile away and that highlights it more. To be fair, that subtitles thing happens in movies with closed captions too, that's hardly a mark against them. The gaps in general can be laziness but they can also be technical hitches, bugs, framedrops, or background loading or maybe Windows is doing diagnostic poo poo in the background or or or..

All I'm saying is that it ISN'T by design. There's never a writing integration meeting where everyone sits around a table and goes "ok, so we all agree that we should leave big gaps between dialog, yes? Great, meeting adjourned!" Edit: Or rather, it isn't by design for that reason. It's most likely a conscious decision due to various limitations of timing and game engine mechanics, if not for the reasons I listed above, and possibly even to account for unknown aforementioned above possibilities causing even worse problems or hitches. mutata fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Mar 24, 2017 |

Marrakesh is fun for sniper challenges and side contracts, though. It seems like it'd be a better Splinter Cell level than a Hitman level though. Opposite of the India one.

I think with new tech and modern art direction a world War 2 game doesn't have to be brown and flat anymore and could actually be ok but if it's just Inglorious Basterds the game, I'm super cool with that too. This is my hot take amen.

Apparently it's the same engine and everything. You can watch replays and switch graphics from old to new on the fly and play with original version players. Kinda neat!
