Yeah the mod has a super healthy RP community, it's very weird and populated by very weird people. The community as a deathmatch game is wholly detatched from them, though, and it's pretty fun. Super happy cow, plenty of thoroughly complex games have distinctly authored, clear play styles. Games can strongly promote…
The most advanced and complex game in the world is made by two persons: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ I'm talking about production quality though, and as that video you just linked, the production quality wasn't high, even though the creativity was. People have been making online rpg's since the dawn of more connected…
Totally agree with the article - I love good FPS games, but gaming really is becoming repetitive. I can see how some can be fine with it, but I do miss the times where I could pick wildly different games in a row over a span of a few years. Remember when your collection was gradually growing with titles like Megaman X,…
Yeah, just meant pushing the console hardware technically. But here is the problem, you'll get the same people who argue that shooters are all the same saying that the mario kart series is great, it's rehashes, but they're all fun games. My issue with Nintendo has always been their low priority on getting more third party…
Also, guys, seriously, either learn to make games or pledge your art talent to helping people with good ideas, and go post on TIGsource. That is your creative hub. There's a ludicrous amount of beautiful and innovative stuff going on in the WIP forums. Stop whining about the problem in an irrelevant place. Dude, i know you…
eld - polycount is a game art forum, aside you/neox/razorb/vig and a few others I cant really think of many people who are in the act of tinkering with the gameplay side of stuff - at least publically. And come on Super Cow, think about how recharging health changed combat a bit more on your own without having people spell…
It's not up to the "industry 3" to innovate, they are console developers first and foremost. The metroidvania genre has been done and improved on ever since super metroid, mario 64 was a great game when it came out, but we've had many fantastic 3d platformers since then, including psychonauts. People are also quick to hate…
Really, did you play much brink? FF on in brink is as wacky and poorly thought out as FF off in ghost recon or armed assault. I'm not super hardcore about most fps games, but i have been in the past, so i get where you're coming from, but friendly fire in brink is an excellent example of 'more hardcore' really meaning…
Thems fightin words, son. Valve made TFC after hiring robin walker / john cook and whoever else from the quake world team fortress mod? Interesting take on the whole copying of elements... I see things a bit differently and i do consider TF2 to be very well made by comparison to CoD. In a default environment with…
Dude... really? When I was growing up in the 90s my parents were constantly bitching about "music today" and when they were kids, their parents were bitching about the same shit, and probably so on and so forth. The older people get the more resistant they become to change, they're always looking backward at the way shit…
