Are graphics reaching the end of the creative road? will game play once again be the King of the development process? lets pray and see.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Graphics have not peaked.
Until there are fields of blades of grass, and individual leaves on trees, all flowing in the wind with proper physics, we have not peaked.
When you can fly over Los Santos and destroy buildings with each individual brick having its own particles and physics or when you can tear up trees with each leaf being individually represented with roots and soil reacting like it would IRL, then we have finally reached the end game when we go into holodecks and virtual reality.
In terms of graphics we still have a long way to go but when it comes to Image-Quality then Yes: with NextGen consoles and 2k gaming we are very close to the limits of what the human eye can descern/distinguish (about 90%).
In order to reach (and exceed) the remaining extra 10% of IQ we need 4k gaming.
Real 4K gaming requires 4K TVs, 4K rendering resolution, 4K textures, 4K normal maps, 4k diffuse maps etc-etc.
That means that we need about 5 times the rendering-productivity of a PS4 (or about 13 to 15 TeraFlops)in order to create a fully 4K Digital Interactive World.
And them we need another 10-15 TF for the rest of the graphics( so that they won't terribly inbalanced in comparison with the IQ)
This is IMO...
