Graphical prowess has always been at the forefront of game development. Little wonder, consumers tend to gravitate toward games that are visually appealing. That is, until Android, Apple, and Facebook entered the market.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
hope the new generation doesn't get carried away by trying to be realistic.
the sense of art is more important and more attractive
would like to see more character and design used in games like Team Fortress, Borderlands, NiNoKuni, Brink( the looks are the one great thing about it IMOO) and BioShock Infinit
No matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd... it's great if you can make the game look good, but if it's at the sacrifice of good gamplay, interesting story and characters... then it's all for nothing.
Gameplay>Story>Graphics !
Favorite games of all time are all story driven games. If a games story is excellent, i can excuse the gameplay is if is clunky like say Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect 1. Same for gameplay like Gears of War. Great gameplay but fairly week story but still like the series.
But no matter how gorgeous a game is, if the story is not good then i wont play it.
After understanding this, perhaps people will understand why the hype over the next generation is so pointless.
