Making the Player Feel Bad is a Good Thing

Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes:

''There’s a certain aspect of storytelling that videogames are becoming increasingly better at. It’s an aspect that has been in existence since the likes of Ultima hit PCs, but it’s never really been a thing on console until recently. Making the player feel bad is what I speak of, and it’s an extremely powerful storytelling method. For too long, players have been able to go about their ways in videogames and not give a second thought about their actions. Thankfully this seems to be changing.''

Cacabunga64d ago

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics64d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend63d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long64d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons64d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor64d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5263d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60263d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor64d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
