Interview with Rockstar Games' Rob Nelson, Part 1

While the entire creative corps at Rockstar tends to focus on little touches, art director Rob Nelson gets the nod as the guy who holds the visual aesthetic in his head. Nelson's an industry veteran who's been with the company for eight years, with a hand in "L.A. Noire," of course, and last year's "Red Dead Redemption," too.

Yea but what we need back is that classic square turn based combat and for AAA not to be afraid to go back to it. It is also just so frowned upon. Yet look at clair obscur, persona, and plenty of games that are beloved.

gold_drake14h ago

i mean, ever since Final Fantasy move away from it, u really only had Atlus and Dragon quest 12.

its a shame that asquare feels the need to move away from it.

but im glad that exp33 brought it back, wkth alot of success.

like can u imagine ff16 or ff7 remake to be like that? daaaym.

Michiel198910h ago

what?

Sea of Stars, Eiyuden Chronicles, Triangle Strategy, Octopath, Bravely Default. DoS, Yakuza, xcom, marvel xcom and many, many (indie) games are turnbased. Most games i play nowadays are turnbased and I never ran out of good games to play.

Need Wasteland 4 or a modern old-skool-esque isometric Fallout

Michiel198910h ago

Wasteland 3 is the only one I played of them and while I enjoyed it a lot, I had to wait a couple months to play because the loading times and bugs were unmanagable, really hope if they release a sequel they give it a bit more polish for launch, cause the game itself was hella fun.

raWfodog12h ago

I've always loved both turn-based and action rpgs. For me, it's the overall combat flow and mechanics that interest me more than whether I'm moving around or standing still.

VersusDMC12h ago

I played 300+ hours of P3Reload, SMTVengence and Metaphor last year. And Metaphor was a GOTY contender last year. As was infinite wealth.

So i don't know where this Turn based games are dead narrative is coming from...

After 20 years of ongoing service, the original Guild Wars still makes good on a promise it made that no other MMORPG has been able to truly mimic.

Been there since day 1, and the first beta, same with GW2. 20 years and they never said oh now we need to charge a monthly fee, and they only made Guild Wars no other games. I'm going to assume GW3 will have the same business model.

I got to 50 I believe but never got into it very much.It was fun but all of my friends were still playing EQ. Good to see it’s still going though.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos3d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto3d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba3d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz2d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u2d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
