10 Best Ice Levels in Video Games

Arcade Sushi:
To quote the residents of Northern Westeros, winter is coming, and the best way we can prepare is to look back at our favorite frozen stages in video game history. We first saw ice and snow become a factor in the early platforming games of the 1980s, where the normal, intricate jumps you had to make were challenged with the introduction of sliding around. Since then, we've seen all kinds of wintry wonderlands incorporated into gaming. Most of these stages consist of frozen tundras, slippery slopes and ice-coated platforms that altered the dynamics of how you'd usually play. As the years passed, we saw ice stages significantly change the fundamental gameplay of the title itself. Instead of worrying about slipping off an edge, you had to worry about maintaining body heat and avoid freezing to death. Other games had you lost in a fierce blizzard where it was hard to keep track of your directions and destination.

The effort here is impressive. Hope it doesn’t get taken down.

He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.

solideagle46d ago

ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit

I love seeing projects like this. So much passion and time.

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook7110d ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond110d ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook7110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.

Yes Tonberry is terrifying..

MeteorPanda141d ago

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman141d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda141d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.
