[ QUOTE ] HAHAHAHAHA Ninjas, you sound like a kid who has possibly played a little too much Xbox when he should have been doing homework. Please stop speaking for the industry.

[ QUOTE ] - A game that locks itself so you can't play it anymore once your character dies. You only get one chance to beat it COOL, what generic shooter is gonna have that amazingly innovative feature, it's for sure gonna make the game itself better in so many ways. I'm sure any artist here would love to spend a year…
I dont think anybody is making fun of anything here. You do come over a bit like the generic Zealot #1487. I mean really, i didn't wanna say anything about your ideas, but since Frankie was so kind to bring them up again, let's have a look at them: - A game that locks itself so you can't play it anymore once your character…
[ QUOTE ] I was just pointing out that the extreme stance you seem to take on every issue made me disagree with an argument I would normally agree with.

[ QUOTE ] Approaching games as a superior art form and trying to be all innovative and fancy, instead of seeing them as what they truely are, mass market entertainment, just isn't so safe. [/ QUOTE ] Ignoring the superior artform comment, I disagree with this kind of perspective. If you mean it isn't financially safe, you…
i agree. the thing with these other forms of art is that there wasnt a huge corporate interest in them in the early years. videogames have been around about 40 years but have only come into the limelight in the last two decades, with major money involved in them.
My idea is different than permadeath or hardcore mode. You wouldn't have to worry about seeing the same stuff again because you wouldn't be given the option to restart. You would die, and that would be it. I am going to make a thread about game design ideas...
