Our medium needs experiences like Schindler’s List, says Amnesia creator Thomas Grip – but games will always struggle to hit the emotional highs of films, he says, especially if they keep trying to mimic them.
Sclerosis, the Amnesia: The Dark Descent VR remake by modder Deesice is now available for free, you'll just need a copy of the original game.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is unofficially coming to PCVR. Sclerosis VR is slated to arrive this Autumn with full motion controls.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
Yes they can.. for example i've never cryed in a movie but i did in fact cryed in ALL metal gear solid games
They're STILL not as emotionally powerful as movies. That doesn't mean they'll never be.
Journey, Heavy Rain and a few others show that games are evolving in this aspect.
I think they can be but it is much harder to achieve. I find over a series off games then there is a more emotional attachment to the characters but in a single game the attachment is less to non existent. I get where he is coming from but some games do have some emotionally powerful moments (looking at games from Flower all the way to Assassin's Creed- not going too much into that but it defiantly had one big emotionally powerful moment in the series)
Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Final Fantasy Type-0, and Nier say hello.
i completely disagree with this. Some games are so well written they make you cry. Its not just about the cutscenes, but about the writing as well. Bioschock 1 had amazing writing, me2 had an insane ending that had me cheering more than a cheesy black people inspirational movie, witcher 2 had me intrigued in its political scrambles full of racism and sex, alan wake was like watching a tv show with good writing and many more.
