Presentation in games is what forges the first impression when starting it, whether it was by an interesting story, beautiful graphics or most importantly, addicting gameplay, and it always depended on the system’s capabilities and the control potential. Back then in the era of Atari and NES, graphics were never the best way to immerse yourself into a game, but they served as somewhat of a mind fuel - looking at those barely rendered pixels in all of their 8-bit glory, along with the sound effects that nowadays sound like dubstep background noise, made the imagination of the player do all the work."
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Depends on what you mean by "darker" if you mean Dark Knight "dark" than no, I don't want melodrama in my games. But if you mean the game will end in a tragedy where there is not suppose to be a happy than I'm all for it. FF13-2 was like that ended with absolutely no happy ending and it was great.
The thumbnail isn't very saying what we mean by "darker". One of the "darkest" games i have played was Majora's Mask because it had such sad themes and an overwhelming feeling of suspense because of it's doomsday setting and time limit. and that's from a game that has many many more and brighter graphics than games like Heavy Rain and Max Payne would offer.
I've also thought that more eye-candy rather than pixels have taken away a lot of our imagination, that we once used to shape the rest of the images in our heads.
But in terms of presentation in games right now, it's mostly about the 'cinematic feel' and as long as that's what developers are trying to achieve, i think games should become even darker (in graphics) but ultimately i think it's better to leave a lot of it up to the players' imaginations.
That's why pixel-ish graphics are still used in new games (mostly indie-games) like Minecraft, Fez and Resonance.
If it means more mature games then that's a welcome.
A lot of game have become ''darker'' but they are indeed trigger to an inmature audience such as Gears Of Wars while games very colorful and cheerful like Rayman Origins can be more ''hardcore'' in gameplay.
Games should be games. Why the hell does everyone want to use these blanket statements?
Should Mario be darker? Probably not. How do you make a racing game or a puzzle game darker?
If a game is made with a dark tone, and it's done well, there's no reason to complain. But a few games doing it well doesn't mean that, suddenly, more games should follow suit.
Games like Halo and Uncharted are still great even though they have colorful and vibrant graphics and their violence is not over the top, more like cartoon like violence not "OMG I JUST BLEW TEH GUYS HEAD OFF!!!!" like you see in Max Payne, Gears etc...
