    finally i'm in a video game

  • imbecile7

    This is the first part of our real-time rendered short film “Adam”, created with the Unity engine by Unity’s Demo team.

    • Really really nice workNutter
    • OMFG, that's incredible. Got the chills.monospaced
    • stunning!!cruddlebub
    • This is wrong. They all would have smashed their faces like the one. What's the point of individuality in an army of clones. Yes I know, just ignore me :)SteveJobs
    • I don't claim to know anything about this officially, but I think it's wrong to assume they're clones. I got the sense this man woke up as a robotmonospaced

    I decided to check Best Buy for Nintendo Switch inventory on Saturday, and to my surprise there were units available at a store not far from me, so I finally pulled the trigger and picked one up along with the new Zelda.

    I'm really loving this!

    I'm having a lot of fun exploring the Plateau so far, and I'm enjoying the no pressure pace of the game. Wandering around, soaking in the sights, practicing the moves, interacting with the environment, and getting acclimated to the controls feels like time well spent. I'm not very much of a gamer, so the way the game eases you into everything is greatly appreciated.

    • Plateau is the tutorial basically, I stopped playing it and I should get my ass to finish it, the game is massiveernexbcn
    • I got the greenlight from 'her indoors' on getting one y'day. What other games should I get? I think Zelda will be fun for the eldest and I but anything goodfadein11
    • for a nearly 4 year old? I need to do some research obvs but any tips much appreciated.fadein11
    • Mario odyssey!set
    • MarioKart - My 4 year old loves it - especially as you can use assisted steering and auto acceleration for the inexperienced players.. means she can play...dee-dubs
    • against her older sister.dee-dubs
    • My continuing Zelda exploration has been put on hold - I accidentally started playing Destiny 2 and got somewhat addicted.face_melter
    • great thanks.fadein11
    • i've been playing botw every spare minute since i got the thing. kind of dreading beating the thing :/scarabin_net
    • I thought you already had! Yeah, it's like a great book. You start to avoid finishing it because, then what?monospaced
    • yeah, i'm not a completionist but i may go for 100% just because i love the world they created. they just seem to have done everything rightscarabin_net
    • Good luck with the korok seeds. Dem's near impossibru to find 'em all. I did find all the shrines and armor sets though and that was pretty satisfyingSteveJobs
    • recently started over and turned off the hud and i'm avoiding the towers to keep the map hidden. forces me to just explore more naturally and freshens the game.SteveJobs
    • I almost wish i'd done it this way the first time to keep the scale of the game big, as maps seem to 'shrink' the world in your mind. well, mine anyway.SteveJobs
    • cool but do you know where I can find a Vectrex?since1979
    • NEEERD!!!
      :)
      pango
    • I held off from finishing it, like an epic amount of hours in --- though regret it a little as it kinda of runs out of steam.inteliboy
    • Though finally getting to the castle was an instant reminder why the game is incredible.inteliboy
    • I finally ventured out of the plateau after getting the 4 orbs and the glider. I feel so unprepared, and I'm running out of weapons so fast.monospaced
    • ^ it actually gets much easier over timeCygnusZero4
    • I took the advice from you guys who finished it and I turned off the Pro HUD and just went out. I'm definitely off the intended path but I love it!!!monospaced
  • SteveJobs7

    I'm starting to appreciate how this is getting GOTY status already. Played all weekend and honestly haven't had this much fun with a game in a while. Just turn your brain off, explore, level up, and take down Mongols.. Wish there was a sleep feature to change time of day, but other than that I've found this game to be near flawless.





    • Supposedly if you collect enough crickets, you learn different flute tunes to play that DO change the time of day! I haven't found any yet, though, hahaelahon
    • I think it just changes the weather :/
      Fast travel does change the time of day but a bit tedious. They need the RDR2 style sleep mechanic.
      SteveJobs
    • what game?monospaced
    • Ghost of Tsushima. Doesn't the photo mode allow you to change the time of day?Milan
    • Yep, but I want it for searching. Areas like Komatsu Forge, for example, can be difficult to find resources during certain times of day due to lighting.SteveJobs
    • Also, I just like exploring when the skies are blue! Same with RDR2SteveJobs
    • Just finished it. So much fun. Only gripe is it needs load outs for armour and charms.thumb_screws
    • Pick it up mono, it’s so good. Also Kurosawa mode...ben_
    • Enjoying it, even though it feels a lot like a reskinned Horizon Zero Dawn. Which is no bad thing5timuli
    • i only wish some of the poems were better written—but most of mine came out nice and meditative.jaylarson
    • Pick it up? I don’t even game or own video games :(monospaced
    • Whatscarabin
    • Get a ps5 when it comes outscarabin
    • mono I guess I was mislead by your feigned interest. ah well.ben_
    • It wasn't feigning interest at all. YOU made an assumption I own a particular gaming console, which is pretty weird.monospaced
    • I guess man... someone asking "what game?" in a gaming thread lead to a "pretty weird assumption" about them owning a console... go figure.ben_

    Day one for me:

    • WOW! same herecruddlebub
    • incredible trailerinteliboy
    • yes pleaseBluejam
    • but but but it's just a remake...ArchitectofFate
    • a remake of one the greatest games ever made for playstationernexbcn
    • A game like that deserves a good remake.milfhunter
    • Cant they make a true sequel? Its the same game with updated graphics. BlehCygnusZero4
    • A sequel will It'll take them another 10 years, like they did with Last Guardian.face_melter
    • I can replay this game for the rest of my life.DRIFTMONKEY
    • I haven't played this in years, so, awesome! One of my favorites!elahon
    • I only spent a few hours with the original SOTC. I found it extremely slow and boring as hell. Almost not even a videogame.CygnusZero4
    • So I have incentive to play this to finally beat it, but Im just personally really getting tired of this gen of remasters.CygnusZero4
    • One of the best games ever made if you ask me. That shit was sick. beautiful design, worth coming out of retirement for me. lolsofakingback
    • Actually, I kept this game. I sold everything but saved this game. Guess, I wont need it :/sofakingback
    • let the hate flow Cygnusernexbcn

    • there was a VR rumor a month ago, hope its truemoldero
    • ain't covid a bitch?jaylarson
    • This is a good thing. Consider the source.DRIFTMONKEY
    • Yeah I agree, deadlines suck, move them when needed. Sounds sad to waste a vacation day to stay home looking at a screen.shapesalad
    • these guys are crunching bad, this game should be released in 2021 not nowernexbcn
    • They probably found that the RT is tanking the framerate on the new consoles and are scrabbling to make it acceptable.face_melter
    • feel bad for all the developers on this who have been crunching for months and now just got more crunch time on topNutter
    • @face_melter the game isn't even being released for the new consoles this year, that is coming 2021ernexbcn
    • I mean you will be able to play it on the new consoles, but under retrocompatibility, then on 2021 the game will be updated for next gen consolesernexbcn

    • So reminds me of Flashback, looks bloomin beautiful.robthelad
    • ^ yeah, the animation is like Flashback's rotoscoping. Another game that was absolutely mint. The PSone sequel had its moments too.face_melter
    • Another World? That was out before the PS1 :)detritus
    • Nah, Another World was first, then Flashback, then Fade To Black - a sequel/not sequel to Flashback.face_melter
    • Oh Christ, so you're right!

  • drgs3

    I crave a dystopian sci-fi game with a dark atmosphere (90% of sci-fi games out there are too cartooney)
    Recommendations?

    • I replayed the first Bioshock recently and man that shit holds up.DRIFTMONKEY
    • Death Stranding or anything by Kojima.inteliboy
    • Cyberpunk soonmoldero
    • Observer is fairly dark and it stars Rutger Hauer which is always a bonus. The Shadowrun games are decent, story-driven, sci-fi dystopiaface_melter
    • Deus Ex?grafician
    • Maybe time to replay Deus Ex.
      Death Stranding -- keep hearing its tedious.
      Will check out the rest, thank you
      drgs
    • Bladerunner?
      https://www.gog.com/…
      Bluejam
    • The first DE game is still great, story wise. I love the idea of an AI taking over doing all the rudimentary tasks like traffic light management and things.jaylarson
    • Horizon Zero Dawn may be worth your while. Top 5 game I've ever played.jaylarson
    • ^ good call. May be a bit cartoony though? Creatures in HZD are Zoids.MrT
    • Control?Milan
    • Observer is futuristic dystopia with Rutger Hauer as the main character: https://youtu.be/cvK…Nutter
    • Death stranding has a great story but the whole game is just schlepping boxes from point A to point Bscarabin

    • Did anyone complete MGS 5: Phantom Pain? I lost interest halfway throughMilan
    • This is what happens when Kojima doesn't have a studio putting edits on his acid-riddled mind. I mean that as a compliment.garbage
    • @Milan, I lost interest as soon as they started repeating missions. Shame too. Thought it was a "solid" game up until then too ;Pjaylarson
    • Love Kojima - but none of his games makes any sense.desmo
    • @utopian you think this game looks bad? well this is PS4 footage, a 6 year old console already, I think it looks pretty goodernexbcn
    • looks amazing to me.inteliboy
    • I just pre-ordered the game. The reviews are quite mixed.. but it is so intriguing to me haha. I loved the whole thing about the BT's alsoFabricio
    • reviews say combat is trash, bosses are meh, welpernexbcn
    • I know... the thing with the bosses was a bit of a heartbreak to hear... I was so hyped to see that trailer with one of the bosses a year ago.Fabricio
    • And it looked so awesome!
      But yeah, well.. I will give it a try anyway.
      Fabricio
    • Same. I preordered too since I don't want to wait until tomorrow. Hopefully the downloads aren't too long. #fwprobsjaylarson
    • Enjoying it so far. playing really slowly and intermittently so haven't run into any real combat yet, is it THAT bad?ben_
    • I finished the game last week, and absolutely loved it! It is not perfect by any means.. and I can totally see why some people would hate it.Fabricio
    • But for me, it just worked. The story as well was super cool (although there were some cringy moments..)Fabricio

    • Looks cool... Tony Hawk meets Rocket League would be fun. Getting trounced and trashtalked by tweens in the online version, however, will not.MrT
    • @MrT Guessing it's a singleplayer because there would be no way to implement the Matrix slomo moments in online play.garbage
    • ^ Rockstar had a wicked slomo mechanic in Max Payne 3 online. It played brilliantly, still one of my favourites. I'm permanently slomo these days lolMrT

    • @face_melter how can you tell that HDR is on? That color depth is not supported nor by .gif or by our screens. thats just regular 8 bit.mekk

    • Who wants discs anymore???futurefood
    • I do. A disk will last forever. A digital purchase will live until support of the console is dropped or there is internet/wifi outage, etc.SteveJobs
    • I agree, still like physical seeing as there’s no way to sell or trade digital and they also aren’t meaningfully cheaper.ben_
    • The console design is a bit fugly, but I haven’t looked to Sony for good ID since the mid 90’s anyhow.ben_
    • Oh yeah, trade in value! Totally forgot about that. Huuge factor. Plus I can buy discounted new/used games on eBay for cheap. Got Death Stranding new for $28.00SteveJobs
    • I actually think the PS4PRO looks better and more minimalist/ timeless than this. But this one isn’t as bad as the PS3 thank god.NBQ00
    • Also this white probably doesn’t look as nice as all black console and controller but they wanted to showcase it in white first I guess.NBQ00
