Lechtansi posted:This makes sense to me, otherwise you end up in a FF8 situation where the expensive cutscenes/voice acting stays even though the story has changed and the poor game devs have to do their best to stitch it together into something coherent. Not really on topic, but what game are you referring to? I can only think of Final Fantasy and that FF8 never had voice acting.

Neat video on the AI in the game, which is substantially more well developed than most games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RRjM1yNvy4

Sorry for the confusion. IIRC it was FF8 that had super random cutscenes that barely connected to the gameplay, but I never played it so I might be wrong. If I am wrong, just pretend I meant FF13.

As I recall Horizon Zero Dawn also started recording without a voice director, and began with the design leads in the Netherlands feeding direction to their actors in the US. The theme of Horizon's production history is consistently Guerrilla being totally unprepared for making an RPG but ultimately pulling through.

HZD is a story about a studio with good tech but middling story production getting ridiculously lucky

If you read anything about this industry you'll know it's a minor miracle whenever good games get made at all.

Bought this game for cheap 2 weeks ago and finished it over the weekend. World building is among the best I can remember ever seeing AND they mostly show instead of tell. The stakes and motivations felt real and believable. Really refreshing (for a 4 year old game). My biggest quibble is melee combat being more about fighting the animations rather than the enemies and the cutscenes where none of the animators seems to have watched a real human conversation. People don't bop their heads or move their arms constantly every time they talk. This is hard to explain, but every time someone said something, there would be bodily movements of some sort. People tend to just stand pretty still. I know it's small but it was really comical at some points. Even before watching the trailer for the next game I figured it was obvious that part of it would be going to Faro's bunker and that somehow Faro was either behind Hades or will at least be aware of who was. One question I was unclear over was whether the machines getting more aggressive was due to the signal/virus that activated Hades or was due Hephaestus becoming unshackled from Gaia and creating robots to "protect" itself. I also like how even though it was "primitive" the Nora matriarchs were actually pretty close to the mark in their belief system. That said, best line in the game is Aloy going, "Mother?! That's a door!"

it's both. GAIA is what kept HEPHAESTUS in line, making peaceful machines. after the signal, all the subfunctions of GAIA became independent AIs, and HEPHAESTUS was upset that people were killing its machines for parts, so it started making them more threatening

If you finish the Frozen Wilds storyline, you can speak to CYAN who speculates that HEPHAESTUS has made the machines more aggressive in response to human hunting behavior. Unshackled from GAIA's "protect humans" programming, it's responding to the threat being made against its creations. As far as we know it's not being directed by any other source, just its own defense mechanisms taken to rogue AI extremes.

Yeah it's not "those drat humans are my enemy, I will destroy them", it's "beep boop machines are destroyed, adjusting build parameters to stop them being destroyed"

You gotta love that Heph goes from "pointy ground-tillers that run when spooked" and "WARCHICKEN WITH BOOM BOOM SCREAM" to 15 foot tall robosaurus with orbital laser arrays, mag-disc launcher and radar

Taking down huge 10 ton machines was always kind of a dangerous job even without the lasers but now it’s become flat out deadly.

I am rewatching the Expanse, and the first villain of the show has a bunch of high tech ships named after Egyptian Gods, and that made me think about how Ted Farro was super into naming his death machines after Egyptian stuff too.

It wasn't until like my third playthrough that I finally put 2 and 2 together with the Faro/Pharaoh pun.

I’ve been doing my first play through of this on Steam on normal. I’ve gotten every epic weapon and most epic armors, most of the main game collectibles, all but one of the capacity upgrades and I’m also swimming in shards and resources. And I just completed Maker’s End. I’ve fought every type of pre-DLC enemy and uncovered most of the map while still having much of story left, and I gather this is a common experience. Is there anything special with the collectible traders once I hand in all their sets besides the cheevo and boxes? Is there a special dialogue that I missed? I was pretty much spoiled before this came to Steam. As I played, a lore bit that gave me an “oof” was learning that Sobeck apparently did good work cleaning up the environment, only for capitalism to go on and destroy the world even more than global warming probably could anyway. gently caress Ted Faro.

You get some extra skill points for collecting the metal flowers and random crafting components/mods, that’s about it.

It looks really pretty but that dinosaur fight at 30fps just looked sluggish and awful to actually play. Have they said if there'll be a 60fps option?
