well they confirmed that starfield and elder scrolls 6 are both things in production but sounds like they're not targeting this current console gen for either
― ciderpress, Monday, 11 June 2018 02:57 (five years ago) link
which means theyre 3 years off at least
He specifically said Starfield was "next gen" and Elder Scrolls is after Starfield, so yeah.

I’m so jazzed for Cyberpunk.
"Braindance", a digital recording device streamed directly into the brain, allows the player character to experience the emotions, brain processes and muscle movements of another person as though they were their own.

The only pretty thing I found interesting was the pirate thing and they’re probably too cowardly to scale it down for the Switch

idg the Andrew WK thing. seems like people trying to make a meme out of nothing. i saw the video. there were people smiling and stuff. yes everybody is sitting down because this is a multi hour long stageshow about videogames.
i expected the video to show everybody looking at their phones. they are at least watching him perform. imo the band brought their A game and not holding back but the audio mix is kind of shitty tbh.
what is the cringe here, are we supposed to feel embarrassed for the audience? i guess you can't report an event nowadays without some kind of Schadenfreude slant to it. we have to feel superior to somebody with each piece of news.

Watching The Last of Us 2 gameplay, I’m impressed that games can do all this stuff, but stuff like this still doesn’t resemble anything I want to play

Why can’t a AAA dev make a game about running around like that in an optimistic future

a bit underwhelming this year, feels like there were no really big announcements, just trailers for already revealed stuff. wonder if studios are already transitioning to next gen development?

Shadows Die Twice looks really cool. Death Stranding as well. so nice to have gameplay footage of both!

still not convinced that death stranding is a real game and not just kojima messing around making trailers

i liked how the death stranding trailer was just showing off the movement animations

It would be great if Death Stranding has no combat and is just Norman Reedus making deliveries and hiding from ghosts

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:16 (five years ago) link
The games are all becoming more movie like, and most big movies seem to be about people shooting each other too.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 18 June 2018 14:25 (five years ago) link
I am not really in the market for realistic gun games so it’s not much of a stance to say I’m boycotting them but I do think maybe they should stop making them.
― valorous wokelord (silby), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:28 (five years ago) link
do you think it matters if you are shooting monsters versus people?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 18 June 2018 15:33 (five years ago) link
I think the critical/commercial feedback loop is stuck on 3d action-adventure/action-RPG games right now, some of those have guns but I didn't get a sense that there were that many pure shooters at the show
― ciderpress, Monday, 18 June 2018 16:01 (five years ago) link
That always has mattered to me actually, maybe that's odd. It's not even monsters vs people, it's cartoony people vs people too (or even sci-fi people vs people). So team fortress, fortnight, those angry solider guys in doom, imperial officers in star wars games, all fine. But put me in front of a cod or a battlefront and I just don't feel right about it.
― JimD, Monday, 18 June 2018 16:24 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I don't like it either when it veers from fantasy to hyper-realism. I mean, I'm ok with hyper-realism applied to fantasy, a la Doom - it's cartoonishly OTT - but something like that Last of Us trailer, it's just suspect and gross.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 18 June 2018 16:34 (five years ago) link
i forgot where i heard it, Super Bunnyhop or somewhere, where someone explained that triangulating a single point in space is the most efficient thing you can do with 3D computing. lining up crosshairs with a target is the basis of pretty much all 3D gaming. it just happens that shooting a gun is a real world analogy to that simple act of computation (which you can design an entire game around, just ask 19th century carnival workers).
plus society is entirely violence and pro-gun, tv shows and movies glorify guns, the new/old media promotes the most shockingly violent stories. even at its most divided the US govt has never had trouble jointing reaching into the piggy bank for larger and larger budgets to buy bigger and more sophisticated weapons (that actually kill real people in real life). reality is violent therefore media is violent. sometimes people mistakenly think it is the other way around.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 18 June 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah tbh I think I'm a lot more comfortable with shooting for fun as a UK resident than I'd be if anyone here actually had guns for real.
― JimD, Monday, 18 June 2018 16:39 (five years ago) link
Which isn't justified at all but yeah.
triangulating a single point in space is the most efficient thing you can do with 3D computing
Eh, I think shooting at things is just the laziest way for these designers to craft something with minimal world building and story telling.

I hardly consider myself a sophisticated or self-aware gamer (I barely consider myself a gamer at all!), yet I'm deeply anti-gun IRL but have little problem playing games where you shoot people.
Anyway, I do think that even if the enemies are monsters, that greases the wheel to
