In Training posted:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_in_the_Lake there's actually quite a few films throughout history that have done first person narrative, it's generally just an hard way to shoot a movie and still have it look interesting. Yeah I've seen lady in the lake, there's some amazing cinematography in there. Rear Window is also fantastic. We've had some first-person filmmaking and some great long-shots, but nothing quite like Hardcore Henry. Strange Days had a really fantastic first-person sequence which was even better than Hardcore Henry, but it didn't last very long. Children of Men isn't exactly first person but its still my go-to film for amazing cinematography. And Birdman managed to make the entire film seem like one continuous take, which was amazing.

The idea that time travel is linked to the different physical spaces in lieu of editing for similar effect is pretty cool, and it's pretty impressive to see all the different performances unfolding and overlapping as the film continues. I like it

8-Bit Scholar posted:Are there any big dramatic Oscar winning movies that'd make a good video game adaptation? Like, you sorta have had Titanic games before, but I mean, you couldn't really make a video game out of Precious, could you? No cell-phone adaptation of Birdman? Mad Max: Fury Road was a Best Picture nominee and The Hurt Locker won Best Picture.

The Kins posted:I remember the EA adaption of The Godfather from the start of last generation being decent. Not amazing, but it helped fill the open-world void before GTA4 and had some fun gimmicks like analogue punching during fistfights. I loved how the rackett mechanic worked in 2. basicaly you had a small army and after taking over rackets. you had to defend them. i would always put a poo poo ton of guards at every rackets. and then goons from rival mobs would show up. once and while with named dudes. it felt like an rts. it was cool. Palpek posted:I love anti-piracy ideas like these. The invincible scorpion enemy from Serious Sam 3, Dragon Quest 5 starting boat never making it to land, one of the Talos Principle's elevators locking the pirate inside. Game Dev Tycoon has the best meta option where at some point the pirate is informed that too many people are pirating the developed game and the in-game studio then goes bankrupt fast. i always liked the batman one where you couldn't glide.

I like it It's essentially a glorified advert for the Hermitage, rather than an actual film. It looks nice, sure, but it lacks in substance. But hey, if it's managed to convince some people to visit Russia, it's cool by me.

Found a guy on Craigslist selling his PS3, 3 controllers, and a shitload of games for $160. The PS3 looks like it's in great shape and I could use the spare controllers. Trying out Demon's Souls on PS Now made me wanna play it for real very badly.  edit: Here's the full list of games copied/pasted right from the listing quote:Call of Duty Black ops2 (Almost brand new scratchless) The only games in there I own are the Uncharteds on my PS4 so it's definitely a net gain for me.

FutonForensic posted:Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is a record-holder for movie awards. Not sure if that counts The EA LotR hack and slash games were good for what they were at ye time. And their LotR FFX clone was really mediocre but the devs trash-talking Square in promotionap interviews was hilariois, like the guy who made the generic orchestral music for the game talking about wanting to make his kid stop playing FF because the music was so bad or bragging about how their game would be better than FFbecause they could use actual movie footage instead of cutscenes.

I'm considering buying a PS4 now that the WiiU is basically being EOL'd. Figures that I'd only get a new console once it's already on its way out  I'm mostly looking at PS4 because of Overwatch and the fact that I only have a Mac for anything computery. I do wanna play DOOM as well, but I'm not very conscious of what other games the PS4 has aside from Dragon Age and, like, Jackbox.

It didn't look like it to me, the guy said he just got a new job and didn't have time to play it anymore. He became a normie wage slave and left the world of videogames behind. smh edit: I also doubt the games are really as scratchless/brand new as he says they are, I can tell he's kinda doing that thing where people talk up the freshness of their stuff so that you'll want to buy it more.

I was watching a Twitch stream the other day and found out about this game, which is pretty similar to that Kickstarted Friday the 13th game from last year. It's called Dead by Daylight and its a 4v1 game where one player is a Jason Voorhees style murderer and the other players are like camp counselors or whatever trying to do certain objectives and get out alive. Steam Store - http://store.steampowered.com/app/381210/ Twitch stream of the gameplay (just skip around and watch it)- https://www.twitch.tv/strippin/v/70138642 It's pretty cool for a concept and if a game actually pulls it off well I can see that being a fun game to play with some people.

There was a vampires vs. hunters Half-Life mod that I used to play, that this reminds me of. All dark-rear end night time maps, with a lot of high-up places and stuff that the vampire team could use to take advantage of their stealth and mobility powers. Anyway, I'm not surprised that the streamers love this. It's like a much more thematic version of that secret murderer mode in Garry's Mod that blew up like a year ago.

Reminds me of The Hunted mod for half-life, where one person was an invisible monster and the other people had to try to shoot him down before he stabbed them all. Except mixed with survival horror like Amnesia where you have no way to fight back against the monster and can only run and hide. Also kinda reminds me of The Ship, which was like the secret murderer Garry's Mod thing you mentioned. Or Bloody Good Time, which was basically Ship 2.

I like servers that have the headcrab launcher, because if you time it right you can shot a giant pod filled of headcrabs at someone and they'll get kill by the impact of the pod before the headcrabs even come out.

I think the best part about TTT was sticking around with the same group for a couple matches because people who are good at the game make use of all the game's tricks when they end up as the traitor, it keeps things fresh. I was once chasing a guy who I saw with the traitor knife out and he went around a corner. I knew he was waiting right there because I'm not that dumb, but I had forgotten that you can also throw the knife with right click. Just as I started to back off he tossed it, rebounded it off the wall, and hit me square in the head.
