Games that nail the art of scripted game design

These titles know how to make you feel in control while pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Heart of Darkness (PS1) had excellent art design.

SockeyBoy4960d ago

I loved the art in Alone in The Dark on Dreamcast, and I thought Limbo was simple but spot on with the game.

Uncharted 3 had many instances where i wasnt sure if i was still watching a cut scene or not. That is the only game I can reemember that happening this gen. Amazing ins & outs of scripted things happening!

My Mate who was wathing couldnt even tell if i was playing or watching a movie!!!! there were certain times i was like OMG!!!! what's going on here! NaughtyDog is at the top of there game! Infinityward with COD4:MW was the best Scripted FPS ever created!!!! I also think Insomniac with Resistance 3, did a great example of keeping you in the action with it's scripted Set pieces The very first widow maker battle was proof of this!!

Once again, I will take scripted over cutscenes anyday.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil41d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE123d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk77123d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

rokos123d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal123d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.
