/cog/ - Traditional & Video Gaming

And here I am just playing fuckin' web-based Solitaire games and shit.

>>201738
I know /v/ is shit but where else could I go?

>>201763
The hundreds of game forums. Find a catalog of games released in year _______.

Don't pretend there are no places for videogame discussion outside of imaegbordz.

>>201765
Forums are a dead medium
maybe I could go to gamefaqs' forums

>>201766
>Forums are a dead medium
>if I type it online it magically becomes true

>>201769
That's a waaaaaaaay shittier design than I expected from Savini.

>>201768
Then tell me about a good forums that isn't a circlejerk and has a good amount of users

>>201769
If you play as Jason then what is the challenge?

>>201772

The game lets you play as either a counselor or Jason. As a counselor, your goal is to escape — which can be done by calling the police or fixing a car so you (and possibly other counselors) can haul ass out of camp. (Those are the two methods of escape that I have seen.) As Jason, your goal is to kill all the counselors.

If you are a counselor and you collect a certain item during gameplay, you can be killed by Jason and have a chance of returning to gameplay as Tommy Jarvis, who enters the game with a (one-shot-only) shotgun.

This is site is where I pulled the pic from. Now I'm thinking it MIGHT be a unfinished model we're looking at here.
Because compared to the other Jasons, yeah, it doesn't look good. I missed the Pax East panel they had.
It dose look like Jason IN Hell after Jason went to hell. Any more deterioration on him though and we'll be getting Skelton Jason.

>>201772
Some people will just have to bite the bullet and play as the unstoppable killing machine.

>>201771
Its amazing how shitty the new Mass Effect game seems like its going to be.

>>201769
That doesn't really make me think 'Jason'.
Hey, are they gonna end up including cyborg Jason from the sci-fi movie as well?

>>201776
>"Jason Goes to Hell"

Why did you type out a blank space in quotation marks?

>>201779
Hmm? Jason 9 is kawaii, with his goofy skeleton face

>>201779

>I don't remember him removing his mask in the movie

Even if the filmmakers did not have some sort of makeup for Jason’s unmasked face, they did have concept art or at least some kind of reference. The devs may have used that.

3rd consent bad Mass Effect incoming

Good: Cool to see five of Capcom’s best non-“Mega Man” NES games collected like this (and also “TaleSpin” I guess); the behind-the-scenes stuff looks legitimately interesting; dat 8-bit remix of the “Disney Afternoon” theme

Not-So-Good: Not too sure about that “Rewind” feature; no release on the Switch

Dull lifeless faces little to no movement around the eyes to convey emotion in conversations.

And what looks like a Watchdogs level downgrade from Trailer to final release.

//youtube.com/watch?v=Y5yBqehUNDQ

>>201793
Its a shame really as it looked to be shaping up to be the Star Trek game everyone kept asking for but never got.

But then Bioware just fucks up the graphics right in the home stretch.

I'll bet money the loss of fidelity being blamed on a engine switch. Since that did that with the Arkham games in their Return update and they went to shit.

Is the rest of it alright though? Not that people would pay attention to that since the series is now more well known for being a visual novel with shooty bits in between the parts where you fuck aliens.

>>201795

Combat is better than it has been in the past so its been said. Companions are the usual mixed bag of okay to BFF that you'll want to bring on every trip. They've said to have really stepped up the interplay between companions in this one along with NPC interactions.

So yea you can tell what they put more time in than the other bits. Just wish that other bit wasn't so glaring.

It's probably just me coming fresh off of Nioh. But man, does Nier Automata feel sluggish and leaden to control.

>>201797
I've only seen it and I will say it does look rather slow paced combat wise.


Also a note to the Mass Effect talks they switched from Unreal Engine to the DICE Frostbite engine. Which explains why a lot of the stuff looks like shit when being compared to older games. A game built for bland FPS isn't built for space cinematic immersion.

Also a stupid move when Unreal 4 could have made that game gorgeous and they wouldn't be so inept in programming with a new engine from scratch.

Congrats EA Your narrow mind has fucked you again. Course these are the idiots that expect game Devs to give them "Elevator Pitches" so the adage "Any press is good press is something they probably buy into."

In case you haven't tried it yet or haven't played in quite a while and maybe even missed the addition of the fourth act, Path of Exile is currently having its craziest league yet. With stones you can equip and combine to add the aspects and gimmicks of all previous leagues to all areas you load into. It's a ton of fun.

Oh shit, Cyber Sleuth is gonna get a sequel! Hell yes!

That game was being worked on longer than Inquisition.

Every other game scored 90s

Andromeda gets solid 70s

Lucky this isn't on Steam. Else we'd have another Arkham Knight on our hands.

And would EA at least be as up front about it as Warner Bros and apologize for being shit and at least make the attempt to fix it.

HA HA HA, yea I'm not deluded.

Have we had any videos of people comparing the combat to Battlefront yet?

Because its the fucking same thing.

>>201807

The thing is, I would expect this to be true regardless of the actual quality of the game because nerds still resent ME3 and want to hurt the people who "betrayed them" rather than actually give real numbers. Which is not to say that this is a good game in any way, just that nerds are too emotionally immature to depend upon for useful information about this sort of thing.

>>201809
>The thing is, I would expect this to be true regardless of the actual quality of the game because nerds still resent ME3
Hot tip: the press is not /v/.

The overall opnion isn't being judged against their prior game. Its just that the game itself feels unfinshed/unpolished. Which they find inexcusable for something that has been in development for five years.

Tough since this isn't Bioware Austin but their Montreal studio (which handled the MP pieces of ME3 and Inquisition.) and they lost about half their senior dev team about halfway through the development cycle back in 2014 along with other studio heads. Its not an excuse by any sort of measure its just noting many of the reasons I'm seeing crop up.

Overall the more people talk about it the more it feels to me like the Suicide Squad of the Mass Effect series. Passable enough to be called a success while really not being what people wanted.

>>201810
Hot tip: the "press" is still a bunch of video game nerds.

>>201812
Right, there's a conspiracy against because them dudebro video game nerds amirite? Calm down, you sound like Polygon on a bad day, and I'm one of the people who's willing to defend them when people freak out about "dem ESS JAY DUBBLEYOUS".

It should be telling that one of the first things the developers responded to when it came to complaints was the lack of viable romance options for gay males, because the series is now basically a visual novel/dating sim first, shooty bangbang comes second. And stuff like graphics, voice acting animation, and writing matters more because of that.

I don't think it's the "butthurt ME3 nerds" who are complaining about the game's bullshit double standards when it comes to heteros and lesbians getting a full spread of romance options while icky gay men have to dig around for scraps or the absolutely abysmal writing on the token trans character after DA:I did so well with Krem, for instance. Because that shit is genuinely laughable.

>>201813
>Right, there's a conspiracy against because them dudebro video game nerds amirite?
It's not a conspiracy. It's just human nature. It's not like anyone's colluding with anyone else over this--I just don't trust nerds' opinions because I don't trust them to be capable of rational thought about things they get passionate about.

>>201815
>implying you're not also a nerd for posting on this website

>>201816
Oh, no, I am. That's why I know how terrible nerds are. We think we're smart but we're, generally speaking, as dumb or dumber than everyone else. And we think that we're rational, but we're even more driven by emotion and petty squabbles than the typical person.

Which is why I don't trust reviews from nerds. If there were actual critics among the "video gaming press," sure, but there, generally speaking, aren't--there are just nerds who play a bunch of games and say what they like and don't. Critical theory is utterly lambasted any time it actually shows up in nerd circles because it tends to go against the "common wisdom" of nerds who are no more likely to be able to see anything deeper than the most rude tangibles of a work that they experience, and therefore no more likely to be able to actually figure out universal elements of artistry.

There's nothing nerds hate more than someone who doesn't join in the circlejerk.

>>201817
So what tribe do you belong too if you're not a nerd?

>>201817
Holy shit, did you just hit puberty? You sound exactly like an edgy Sargon-wannabe, just replace "SJWs" with "nerds" and all their "facts and logic" talk with buzzwords from the opposite side of the political spectrum.

>>201823
I don't think there were actually any buzzwords in that post other than "circlejerk."

http://www.pcgamer.com/ex-bioware-animator-responds-to-mass-effect-andromedas-animation-woes/

So a former ME Animator chalks it all up to underestimating the amount of time they needed to complete the tuning of all the faces and their algorithm wasn't up to the task alone.

I'd put money that Obsidian would have been able to whip something up had they been brought on.

Have they explained why so much of the dialogue was awful while they were at it?

>>201826

Standard Bioware problem. Compartmentalized writing teams and the fact it was a new team from the studio that had only worked on the MP parts of games up till then.

Speaking about stupid additions to Mass Effect, Omni-blades.
Shit was dumb as hell, the setting did not need a glowly snowflake melee weapon, the only melee attack you need in a high-tech tactical sci-fi environment is a rifle-butt or possibly some kind of bayonet.

Just finished the final ending of Nier: Automata and now I'm a sobbing mess and just want to tell you that I love all of you guys.

>>201829

Game has always had good emotional resonance.

http://www.lastyearthegame.com/

2BF Matt talked about this game two years ago when it was just a kickstarter project. 5 Teens VS one slasher, all in first person. I don't know if this will compete with the Friday the 13th game(be released at the same time), but it might give it a run for it's money. It seems more Dead by Daylight-ish, so that it wont compete per-say, but offer a game experience and might be worth owning both. At the same time even.

I dislike Dead by Daylight due to the arenas and the limited play style. Have they put in other modes and arena types.

>>201834
>Have they put in other modes
No

> and arena types.
Yes, with new killers and survivors...as paid DLC except for Bill from Left 4 Dead. He's free and this is possibly cannon because apparently Bill is a multiverse traviler after he "died" in L4D. I am ok with this.

"This is your last chance to get your orders in for any add-ons you may be looking to pick up, like the Exclusive Limited Tom Savini designed Jason DLC, the Counselor Clothing Pack, the Official Physical Art Book or the CD Soundtrack from Harry Manfredini, and more."

If you want to pre-order on the BackerKit, better do it now.

>>201844
Not a fan of multiplayer games but I'll prolly pick this up in the future when its on sale

>>201857
No.

I named my Persona 5 protag Jack Kerouac and now my life is regret.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/05/bioware-apologizes-for-how-it-handled-mass-effect-andromedas-transgender-character

So did they not do like this did in Dragon Age and give them a bit of story?

>>201870
It's weird, they handled Maevaris (inconsistent model aside) and Krem really well and made them well-thought out, interesting characters then they utterly dropped the ball here.

>>201874
Its Bioware they have an annoying compartmentilzed writing style. So we'll get some great missions and Great NPCs next to one or two that are kinda Meh.

Also its funny to hear about the lack of Gay Romances in Andromeda since it was the Ladies that Bioware skiped on back when they wrote all those parts for TOR

//youtube.com/watch?v=hN-lsFWEtXw

Vid of the first of the path enhancements. Making the eyes look like eyes and not just marbles.

Really should have just kept the game in the oven until May or June.

//youtube.com/watch?v=_TUO-GNI1U8

Dude YongYea covering the whole "face is tired" scene. He'll do a more in depth look at the changes later. But Damn see what that extra bit of effort does. We've got actual characters interacting and one actually seems upset.

>die before getting a chance to save NieR: Automata
I'd normally be pissed at having to go through like twenty minutes of tutorials and what are effectively cutscenes that can't be skipped, but seeing the credits roll by in two seconds for the first time is such a strong bit that I thought it was worth it.

//youtube.com/watch?v=kfBOHGWsJWQ

Well this is something.

Details so far. Takes place in Seoul (post Gat out of Hell) Three person Squad based open world. Its "G.I. Joe versus Cobra Megafight 2020" as per their description of what they were going for before going into production.

>Video Game Voice actors still on strike.

Wow bit of news I didn't know about.

>>201898

Hope that gets resolved if this becomes a real thing.

http://screenrant.com/star-wars-knights-old-republic-reboot/

>>201899
>http://screenrant.com/star-wars-knights-old-republic-reboot/
I hope not.

>>201897
Is it tied to the Saints Row continuity?

>>201902

Yea it happens post Gat out of Hell. Earth is reincarnated with Saints in charge of Ultor and such. To note the "Three Person Squad" is straight up like G.I. Joe on NES where you hot swap between three members each with their own abilities and weapons.

>>201906
I also thought I was going to hate Morgana like Teddie but he's pretty adorable.

>>201910
Morgana is a magic cat you can take with you absolutely everywhere who gives out positive reinforcement and valuable life lessons, of course he's great.

The full Tom Savini-designed Jason Voorhees is revealed. Used in play no less. Think movie while watching this, it helps.
Also, Savini is a fucking scary looking dude.

//youtube.com/watch?v=vmuQlmAIq5s

>>201912

And now we have a release date:

https://twitter.com/Friday13thGame/status/855522236928839681

>>201914
So something new for Youtubers to play that isn't a circular arena. And a much funner Monster to dick with them.

Really nothing can beat Jason massacring campers.

Well, I've run all the numbers and can no conclude, via science, that Tae is the best Persona 5 girl.

>>201917
It's weird how you managed to misspell Haru to such a degree. The name's really not that complicated.

>>201918
Hm, no. Haru's hair IS delightfully fluffy, but I'm at the point where I mentally file the team girls as kids rather than peers. And in fact the idea of dating Futaba outright skeeves me the fuck out.

//youtube.com/watch?v=xZ2Hsig12h8

MvC:I gets its first Story Mode trailer. The game’s big bad is confirmed to be Ultron Sigma. Also confirmed as playable characters: Ultron, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu, and Chris Redfield.

THE HYPE IS INFINITE.

>>201922
This is starting to feel a lot like Project X Zone.

>>201919
Similar. It's weird, I can't really imagine myself dating most of the girls here aside from Makoto/Ann because they either feel too young or because teacher/student type relations skeeve me out.

>>201922
Oh my god Chris I love you.

>they will never put in Leon over boring Chris
>nowayfag.jpg
Feels bad man.

>>201926
My problem with Kawakami isn't even the teacher angle (although it sharing space with Kamoshida is...) so much as I can't stand the maid gimmick. Really useful though.

Even if I were to separate myself from Larry Bird Jr, him dating Futaba would still be creepy because her mental development has been so warped and she clearly wasn't neurotypical to start with. She treats him like a big brother and he's basically her therapist, it's just gross from every angle.

>>201922
I brushed it off when I first heard about the direction they were going in with this game's story, but this trailer managed to win me over, that bit of character interaction right at the end was hilarious.

The villain actually seems pretty cool, including their design.

>>201925

If only...

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017/apr/26/ultron-strider-chun-li-hulk-and-more-featured-first-marvel-vs-capcom-infinite-gameplay-footage/

The first proper look at MvC:I gameplay.

I gotta say, those yells for Infinity Stone usage are going to get a bit annoying.

>>201930

>The villain

You mean Ultron Sigma?

>Ultron Sigma

You mean like Ultron infected with the Sigma virus?

>>201935

Pretty sure Ultron Sigma is a complete fusion of the two individual automatons into a single omnicidal death-dealer.

>>201936
Via the power of the Infinity Stones.

Which might be a fusion of the Infinity Gems and the Power Stones?

>>201943
Runs pretty square on those mid level gamer laptops. This should be a good game.

Seeing that though no Devils Canyon i7-4790K/980m 8GB combo I can gauge that it would run a bit above those 970m numbers.

Hollow Knight is fucking incredible. Goddamn. It's a shame it came out during the Great Gameflood of 2017. I bet it could've gotten way more attention when released at some other point.

>>201949
//youtube.com/watch?v=8rWpqCGqpqo

>>201950
Also hilariously, you can see your reflection in Prey 2006 on board the ultrabiological dirty alien ship, but in the 2017 super new Prey set on board a lavish and ritzy-y ship you can't see your reflection because of the dirt or, you just aren't there in the mirrors. Prey 2017 only pretends you can look in the mirror when you select your gender at the start.

Which is embarrassing to say the least.

>>201949
Or just hope they Revive the sequel as some kinda new IP. Really hunting down alien criminals in an alien world sounded awesome.

Also to note that I heard they were going with a stylized look for the game some kinda alter 60s design. But from the video footage (because PCs can't have a demo since their last led to the cracking of the "uncrackable" DRM which has since become less and less an obstacle and more of a joke) I've not seen anything that reminds me of things like Alien Isolation or Event 0 both of which also had Retro styling the latter going back to the 60s itself for a lot of it. Which looked really cool and felt correctly futuristic but also dated.

>>201951
That seems to be one of the lost magics of past gens in faking or using older techniques to mimic or fake reflections. Since to actually do that it would need a Ray Tracing Engine Nvidia developed OptiX for such things but really developers don't bother since they don't thing its important so they fake reflective surfaces.

Tiki, I don't know how to tell you this

But prey is not a reboot of prey

It's just a game called prey

I'll watch a let's play. Probably Jesse Cox since he's the biggest Lore Whore and will scrounge for just about all the bits and pieces of the story.

>>201953
You and I both know Bethesda is more cynical than that.

It occupies a nebulous area between spiritual sequel and franchise reboot.

In both aspects it is disappointing.

>>201954
The lore is I'd say is it's biggest strong suit, not the main story so much but the side quest content.

>>201955
>You and I both know Bethesda is more cynical than that.
>
>It occupies a nebulous area between spiritual sequel and franchise reboot.
To System Shock, not so much Prey.

Bethesda is indeed cynical, which is why they snapped up the trademark: because it's very strong branding, and it's not like Prey 2 was ever, EVER coming out.

>>201956
>ever, EVER coming out

Thanks to their hard work at fucking it up.

>>201957
Yes Tiki, Prey 2 was totally on track until big bad B came in​and smashed it up, that's totally how reality works

>>201958
Good, as long as we're clear on that.

>>201960
Yup, that's where I quit out too.

>>201961
Oh, I made it past that a few hours later. And it gets worse. It gets so much fucking worse.

>>201959
You're really dumb.

The next “Street Fighter V” character is…Ed.

//youtube.com/watch?v=aXnXrHiR4Cs

And here is his move list: https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017/may/08/eds-special-moves-utilize-simple-inputs-street-fighter-5-performed-button-presses-instead-traditional-motions/

Prey is pretty incredible. Y'all should buy System Shock 3, instead of caring about some b-grade Xbox game.

So Outlast 2 is pretty much Red Barrels Machine for Pigs or Soma. Getting way too much into themselves.

>>201966
I bought both, but I get more joy out of the original.

Looking forward to the System Shock Remake. Especially with the switch to UE4 from Unity.

>>201968
Doubtless, but your love of b-grade shit is known. On any actual measure, Prey is an excellent game where the Xbox title is merely Turok with the Strogg, which would be utterly without worth mentioning we're it not for the portals before Portal and the super fucking true to life intro in the Res bar

So Bioware Montreal is being made a Support Studio and will no longer helm any franchisees. To that end all the Bioware IPs are delayed as they shift things around and Mass Effect series is now on ice.

But EA won't say they fucked up letting the B team lead one of their top franchises.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/05/10/mass-effect-series-on-hold-according-to-report

Damn Square, what's the deal? I thought they did pretty well with this game. Very much Blood Money on Steroids.

>>201974
They even partnered up with a reputable developer

Man, there's still so many recent games I want to play. Time and money are realy starting to become an issue.

So the official Sonic the Hedgehog social media accounts just dropped this new trailer for “Sonic Forces” and…well…watch for yourself.

>>201982

>No Enchiladas

Yep they know and are Pender Proofing things as well.

>>201990
The Super Famicom will put him in orbit

So Prey this gen has come out as a decent System Shock type game. Only watching LPs but it and Surge which itself appears to a fantastic Sci-Fi Souls game are both on the list to buy whenever they come around for a sale.

So Overwatch sales and GOTY editions. Is the game worth getting? I've heard the competition crowd getting into it has made entry now a bit difficult.

>>202000

It's a good game. The competitive crowd pretty much only plays Competitive mode so just...don't, if you don't want to?

The Far Cry 5 trailer has angered a great many people.

//youtube.com/watch?v=Kdaoe4hbMso

I cannot imagine why. ?

Well people just played Outlast 2 and really after the islands and a mountain paradise. The backwoods of America not really anything amazing you can showcase.

Won't have a E3 elephant demo for sure.

>>202003
There is a huge emphasis on character creation and vehicle customization.

There is also a rumor that a deranged billionaire has a private hunting reserverse the cultist have broken into, releasing various non-indigenous animals into the wild.

>>202004
Also the full game co-op mode they seem to be very proud of.

Also sounds like they are going back to FarCry 2 in a way. Which is a shame since I loved seeing characters getting their shit wrecked mentally and physically and their decent into becoming a killer.


>There is also a rumor that a deranged billionaire has a private hunting reserve the cultist have broken into, releasing various non-indigenous animals into the wild.

Of course. Gotta reuse those assets.

>>202006

Pfffffffft.

So will they end up making the head of this cult accidentally likeable like they did Pagan Min? Who I really wish had an option to go strafe those two lunatics at the bottom of the mountain before he leaves.

Or this one likely be calling you The Antichrist over the radio and screaming for his followers to kill the heretic.

>>202013
Where the fuck were they for Outlast 2 and Resident Evil 7?

>>202016
Well neither those had them waving some version of the Flag. Ubisoft clearly wants this to be the issue.

Also both of those were just clear cases of mind control and strait up cults.

This is going with some kinda Militia Nationalism angle for some reason.

>>202017

>for some reason

I cannot think of a reason why the idea of “a group of White anti-government militants take over and subjugate a small town using violence” could be relevant to the current political climate. The United States does not have small towns, anti-government militants, or White people.

Hope they make them whiter, christianer, and even more American.

Put them in red hats.

>>202018
They aren't all white, just the family in charge of the group.

>>202019
>>202015
The allied NPCs in this game all seem like sympathetic rural Americans defending their homes and old-fashioned values through the power of the second amendment.

Also the reason the government isn't here taking action against a militia overthrowing a county on their own soil is because the country is currently being struck by some sort of apocalypse?

Seems like a good setup for a doomsday cult taking over a region. Also given the size of areas it would be a massive misstep not to include a Reservation and its law enforcement having to handle this idiots harassing them.

There's PC Gamer article by a guy from Montana who spoke with some of the Ubisoft dev.

His primary concern was that the local culture would end up as "generic rural American" instead recognizably local, including that Ubisoft seemingly didn't realize how large the Native American community was.

A put upon reservation sheriff having to deal with his own issues within the community. Alcoholism is usually a big concern in Native American reservations.

Maybe help the sheriff defuse some angry young jackass that wants to start his own war.

So I knew that Denuvo did a "handshake" at the start of a program. Didn't know it kept doing it all through a game to the point of stressing components.

Reservations have a not-nearly-publicly-known-enough issue where, outside of a few crimes, tribal police are not allowed to enforce the law on those coming in from outside the disxtrict. For example, it was only in... 2014 I think? that it became law that res police can grab outside rapists.

I'm so fucking sick of seeing games where you play as a vampire, or even 'Vampyr'.

Vamps are lame as hell and incredibly played out, just let me play a game as a guy who walks around and punches vampires in the face by the bucketload.

>>202032
Bloodlines was the last good Vampire game. Just about everything else is a moot point afterwards.

>>202027
Indeed, it's part of the reason there are huge problems with sex trafficking rings taking advantage of Native American women.

…WHY IS THERE A NEW BUBSY GAME IN THE WORKS.

I'm trying to wean my brother off of these shitty early access survival games, but nothing is working. He's severely addicted to that trash and I just don't understand why.

>>202037
Because we clearly need more evidence that we are in the darkest timeline.

>>202039
>darkest
No, the dankest.

So, the new Ass Creed game has elements from Mark of Kri, using burd to survey the area.

So, the Klonoa movie project is still doing fine

That fucking Devolver "conference" was something else.

Well gee, I wonder what game THIS is...

>Beyond Good and Evil 2

Well fucking finally I was wondering when we'd get back with Jade and Pey'j

>No Jade

>No Pey'j

Some Monkey guy and a new girl.

Dammit UbiSoft.

Word is its a prequel. Which is even worse. Because we were told that story in the first game.

>>202062
Aside from the ultra-detailed approach to looks, which I wish would fucking go away. I have faith in Michel as a game director and storyteller.

Sony General was created, but the site ate it up (temporarily). Mildly impressed by their presentation so far. Some unexpected games, but still not Jak or Sly (for now).

>>202037
Honestly, I loved the older games.
Of course, the playstation game was one of the worst games I've ever played, but I'm even feeling nostalgic for that nowadays.

Crash Bandicoot's art style devolved as the series went on. In newer games, he looks revolting.

You know, I hate to sorta agree with some of the shadier parts of the gaming community, but being a minority/POC/whatever myself, the whole MULTICULTURAL AND MULTIETHNIC bit during the Beyong Good & Evil 2 presentation got in my nerves. I am obviously all for diversity, but this is starting to reek of objectification and exploitation for commercial purposes. Instead the diversity being there because it's fucking natural that people of all types should be represented, I feel it's becoming another marketing selling point alongside the usual "best graphics" and "great multiplayer" and such.

I'm just kinda stuck on the part where it casts a black dude as a monkey.

>>202082
It wasn't pushed nearly that hard in the original with maybe the garage being an exception but even that's a stretch. I just think it kinda sucks that we get two teasers of Jade and Pey'j over the decades and now it turns out what they are actually making is now a prequel.

So we'll have a delay in learning more about the resistance about The Doms Jades connection to ridding the universe of the evil.

Kinda like out Deus Ex got all caught up in itself adding to the lore and now we've got three games planned after the recent one mean to fill in the gaps.

>>202074


Heard the Atari Jaguar title wasn't that bad of a game. Looked pretty good IIRC.

Shame I was really hoping all those old trailers would come to mean something.

I'm definitely the most hyped for MonHun World. I want to play it NOW!

>>202077
It's not great because of how damn cynical it is but honestly it's a big step up from them saying "we swear we wanted to but can't put any black/brown people or women in our things because then nobody would watch or buy it" even when that's factually untrue.

>>202083
Yeah but why does the black guy have to play a monkey​

Like what is this, the jungle book

>>202088
>the appeal of fiction should be that it is NOT real
Yes, that's how humans work

Holy shit you are goddamn stupid

>>202093
Twister do you actually believe that fiction is in no way informed by the author and the world around them

Are you actually that much of a moron

>>202097
I believe that fiction should be treated as its own thing, at least as you read/watch it. Escapism is a thing.

I did not, ever, stated that fiction is never inspired by reality, where the heck did you even get that from.

>>202099
>I believe that fiction should be treated as its own thing
That's very stupid of you. Fiction is, at minimum, wrapped around a theme or themes that ties/tie back to reality.

The bland realan brown and swearing in BG&E2 is the part that seemed the most shoehorned if you ask me.. It just makes me think of Shadow the Hedgehog's.

Consider this: A parodic Kingdom Hearts style game where instead of Final Fantasy and Disney cartoons, it's Dragon Quest and Disney XD cartoons. Star Butterfly doing her messed up spells everywhere, Right Now Kapow heads showing up as numerous NPCs, enemies, and even items with no explanation, whatever ship building level thing with Pheneas and Ferb, Bill Cipher as an end game boss, and that's not even getting into Dragon Quest or a number of XD cartoons that deserve way more attention than I've been giving.

>>202112

The crap graphics on “Infinite” gave ArcSys a huge boost in that regard. (Capcom really should look into making a game with a “FighterZ”/“Guilty Gear Xrd” art style. “Darkstalkers”, anyone?) Other than that, I dig how “FighterZ” handles losing a character—everything resets to neutral—because it may interrupt the overall “flow” of a match, but it also keeps the match a little more fair.

>Beyond Good and Evil 2 hasn't even started real development, trailer was just a concept
It's just like all the other false starts, fuck. I'm sure it's going to be a good game but I don't think it's going to be a good BG&E sequel/prequel.

>>202114
why even fucking bother. That makes this the third one that they've shown that means fucking nothing.

>>202114
>>202115
The first one was a teaser with no game promised. The second one was leaked. This time around, they made an official announcement on EeeThree, launched a website, and promised to have already started working on it.

If they "cancel it", the amount of shit they receive will be astronomical, so much shit you could fertilize a desert with it. They cannot AFFORD to cancel it, their entire reputation is at stake.

>>202117

I'd side for the latter sadly. Especially if Vivendi is successful in their hostile takeover they are attempting.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-15/vivendi-is-said-to-target-hostile-bid-for-ubisoft-by-year-end-j3y6syyk

Activation Blizzard bought the majority of their shares from Vivendi and knocked them down to a minority shareholder.

So they are looking for a new company to milk. And if they are successful then the game with its roots in the ancient past I can see getting scrapped.

Nice for Take Two/Rockstar to drop this during E3. Already the steam page is getting slammed with negative reviews because now people cannot do the one thing they bought the PC version for. Mod the Single Player.

Heck the guys that worked on OpenIV made certain that it doesn't effect the Online game. Which makes this statement from Rockstar

>"Take-Two's actions were not specifically targeting single player mods. Unfortunately OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody," Rockstar said. "We are working to figure out how we can continue to support the creative community without negatively impacting our players."

Either ill informed stupid or an outright lie.
