Grease the Video Game?

From http://newenggamer.wordpres...

Whilst skimming through my daily GamesPress update I came across a set of screenshots for Grease the video game. My initial reaction was along the lines of “huh?” Curious, I did a bit of research. Set to be released on the Wii and DS, it’s supposed to be a dance and kareoke themed game based on the songs and routines of the musical.

Honestly, I don’t really think it’s a horrible idea. Granted, the Wii and DS game look kind of stupid, reminding me more of the Drawn Together spoof of Grease than anything else, but I could actually see a game centered around honest to goodness musicals working.

People enjoy singing games. Their continued success is more than enough evidence of that. That said, most often the music is disconnected and usually no longer then your average music video. If there are longer songs, they’re generally included to appease fans of epic guitar solos.

So why not base entire games around recreating a live musical? Video games are definitely capable of the required level of cinematics to recreate theater and even just a standard kareoke game attached to Broadway music would probably be enough to satisfy music gamers who also fancy themselves fans of musical theater.

There would of course be limitations. Instruments would likely be out of the question considering the ensemble nature of conventional musicals, but really we could probably do without anyway. Besides, when you’re playing a game based on Phantom of the Opera, who wants to be in charge of the triangle any ways?

Harmonix. Activsion. One of you try this!

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered dev shuts down claims new release looks worse than PS4 original

Jan-Bart writes: "We brought over Aloy’s model from Forbidden west. We also reworked the character lighting to match the look of HFW and improve skin tones. Hair shaders are also improved. The slight blurring you see between ps4 and ps5 is because the PS4 image here has motion blur turned off"

Going by your actual trailer for it, there were a good number of parts where the original did look better ...

The character model no longer has smile lines or cheek bones on their face instead it looks more flat and I don't think it's just skin tone seems like it was a artistic decision to make her face more "full" and that's fine in most cases but it doesn't fit the character.

Oversaturation and hero lighting is not a enhancement in my view at least but this is purely subjective.

I tried mercs, I wanted to love it so badly, as I grew up playing Mechwarrior, but a few missions in I just started getting my ass kicked and couldn't figure out a way around it. Maybe I'll give it another go.
