In this editorial, he delves into the role of video game cutscenes - not from a standpoint of structural appropriateness, as is often discussed, but from a narrative and cinematic point of view
Toyohashi, Japan is set to host a large-scale Monster Hunter event to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, complete with themed hotel accommodations.
Shaz from GL: "Acting is a difficult craft to master, and what many don't consider is just how hard it can be to perform across different mediums of entertainment."
Interesting article, it doesn’t surprise me because some people are better all a-rounders than others. Regardless of fame or how good they are in their specialty.
This is why I feel like the live action stuff in Alan Wake 2 especially is pretty bad. It also looks really cheap and amateurish.
The organizer of "Stop Killing Games" hopes to get France and other governments to examine the legality of live service shutdowns. Scott has launched a new website, Stop Killing Games, to rally opposition to the games industry's "assault on both consumer rights and preservation of media," as he puts it.
Should probably get them to implement offline mode when it comes to games you can play single player
It's shitty playing something solo and having to be connect despite being offline within the game.
It's worse when you get the games which can't be paused, I remember the doorbell going during a huge fight in Monster Hunter World, it took me ages but realised you couldn't pause. I ended up getting slaughtered after spending so long almost killing it.
should do what gran truismo on ps54 did, after severs shut, they unlock everything in the campaign to be played offline
there's no need for anti-cheat 'always online' which was always their excuse, thats and updating gamer progression
Ppl get confused about this lawsuit, this guy has a point, if you don't want to pay for server cause no one is playing that's fine, at least make it PVP, that isn't hard and people paid for the game. So there for it shouldn't be unplayable. Offline is not what he's fighting for but that would be single player. He just fighting for PVP as to dedicated if you going to take it down.
I agree with this one! I hope he wins!
Should pin this to let it be on top for a while. This sort of stuff should get some good amount of attention, could actually make some good change in the industry.
SP games yes, MP games, its a question of whos maintaing the servers etc and keeing them online.
More Devs should really take a page out of MGS4 and look at how the Cutscenes are done,wouldn't hurt them to learn a Camera trick or two now would it.
guys,cutsceens are important
it shows you the story,the places,the characters,the names,just everything
so you could play knowing everything(that make the game much more enjoyable and serios)
in mgs4 ,you can't seprate between cutsceens and gameplay because each one depends on the another to creat an ultimate gaming expereince
and that's what makes mgs the ultimate storytelling game
people just want to find anything just to complain about mgs4
well whoever said that, he doesn't understand the game and just want to play straight forward mindless games that has zero attention of what's going on
go away haters
for ape007.
I totally agree
Dude not every game is MGS. That just the game style and the series has sold more than 20 million copies EASY. I LOVE MGS's style. There's nothing even REMOTELY close to MGS in cinematic quality.
imo cutscenes are very important in games and I love em, all of those who think MGS4 cutscenes are long they obviously haven't play MGS2 or 3 (they weren't long in MGS1 for me at least)
