Why do so-called "everyman" video-game characters fail to actually meet the definition of an "everyman"?
Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.
While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.
The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Rockstar Games may be preparing to release its open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 1, on PC.
There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
One of the big hurdles in narrative-based games.
Amnesia--certainly has Daniel portraying an everyman. But I mean if Isaac Clarke 'were' an everyman, he'd be cowering in the corner all day.
This was one of the (ahermmm) few things that I liked about Resident Evil: Outbreak. It took everyday people and threw them into extraordinary situations - sure there was a journalist, a doctor and stuff, but the rest of them were pretty damned average people with no concept of how to appropriately deal with the situation at hand. Which left some of them hiding in closets and under beds.
I'm thinking I'm part of a small few who really want the next RE game to start fresh with a new cast? Anyone else? Anyone?
The best 'everyman' was the protagonist of Bioshock. He did basically what anyone wouldve done to survive and get the hell outta Rapture, and also the fact that he didnt have a voice or a face means it can be mapped to anyone's imagination.
This is actually EXACTLY why I'm holding out hope for I Am Alive.
Way easier to make your character an "everyman" in a horror game because the point is to feel helpless, or at least relatively weak. No one would play a shooter where your character is just average at shooting. No one would play Prince of Persia if the Prince was a fat schlub with glasses.
(Actually, now that I think about it, that would be hilarious.)
