Bleremiah posted:How is Broken Age anyhow? OK? If you're into adventure games then grab it in a sale otherwise I wouldn't bother. The first half is reasonably satisfying. It has modern Tim Schafer writing (i.e. more introspection and "deep thoughts", less humor), moves at a decent pace with a decent story build-up and ends with a genuinely good cliff hanger. The puzzles are however busy work rather than challenge. In the second half the writing takes a dive, the puzzles get obtuse in the worse adventure game kind of way and the story in the game abruptly ends with what is essentially a "lolz sorry! We ran out of money!" and then sort of stumbles to a limp and unsatisfying conclusion in the credits sequence. Summary: Even with the huge delay and two parts it feels like the first 2 acts of a 3 act game, with the second act being rushed and not as well thought out. Then the credits sequence happens which feels like it should have followed a third act which never got made. Io_ fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Oct 26, 2015 |

Yeah, I'm going with 2.0 being a hot mess of half-implemented fever dreams and megajank. They desperately need to squeeze something out their fetid pipe for the backers to roll around in to keep the hype train/jpeg sales going.

Which engine they picked doesn't help anything when Chris decides that the boots on the marine character model are not up to his exacting standards, or that the Constellation needs to be re-designed for the 5th time. Or telling a programmer to drop everything to write a fluid simulation for a drinks mixing mini-game.

The Kins posted:I read a making-of about that game a few years ago. If I remember it correctly, it was a small, inexperienced team behind it... but one of them knew 3D Studio MAX and the publisher decided to basically pin vast amounts of marketing expense upon it purely for that reason. That was also a nice "lessons learnt" for kid me regarding the gaming press. So many articles in magazines hyping that game up as The Game Which Will Redefine The Industry. Coincidentally Start Citizen will also redefine the industry and has a bunch of people who are good with 3DS Max.

An Enron type scandal with shell companies siphoning money all over the place / hiding losses and numerous other financial malfeasance would neither shock nor surprise me at this point in time. I also predict that the games press will be woefully under equipped to deal with it because they mostly have the business reporting skills of a stunned hedgehog and will run spend most of their energy running around asking 'how could this happen?' and stating the obvious.

CrazyTolradi posted:At this point, as some have said so well, they want Space Second Life. They want to be able to ply the spaceways with their strange blowup doll cargo and indulge in weird sexual fantasies with their crews. I think they want to engage in weird sexual fantasies with their ships, which is why so many of them have a multi-purpose hose attachment.

DoctorStrangelove posted:I still can't completely get over how lovely a callsign "Old Man" is. Maybe it's the same deal as the POTATO, it was meant to be a placeholder and Crobbits just forgot to take it out and by the time he realized it was too late. Jobbo_Fett posted:Is CR so creatively bankrupt that he literally took Col. Blair or whatever his name is, aged him 20 years and gave him a lovely nickname? I played through, and for the most part enjoyed, the Wing Commander games as a kid and the story was never the attraction. They played OK and looked cool and when you're 12 looking cool goes a long way. Christ, the main enemy were the Kilrathi who liked to Kill and were full of wrath. They also, as I found out a few years later, were pretty much a copy/paste of the Kzin from Larry Niven's Ringworld. Most of the stuff in Wing Commander was just Crobbed from previous fictional works, largely unchanged and what spin he put on it was to the original source materials detriment.

Wise Learned Man posted:And what about the whole Command & Control module thingie for capital ships? At one point Croberts was promising RTS-style command of a fleet from an idris or bigger. I haven't heard anybody even ask about that poo poo in ages. The command and control module will be a clone of Missile Command, the bonus feature will be that it has a 1:5 chance of causing your ships computer to CTD.

Tank Boy Ken posted:They've asked the "community" to post reference pics for 2 new ships. I mean if your job is to: "Make it like this, with a bit of that, but make it more ... hmf .... ahhh... VISIONARY", it's going to show. Though you'll certainly be also able to find similar design to those found in Elite Dangerous. Crobbles hand waving while he says this is also a critical part of the design process and communicates key information non-verbally.
