Badly implemented good ideas are bad.
Bad ideas are bad. And I've seen quicktime events that I liked, but most (GOW) are a pain in the balls. I thought about that, my "Next-Gen Cinematic Gaming" � will only have 1 button controll and a motion sensor. It will be gun-shaped ofcourse!
And dont compare with those old games. You dont understand. "Next-Gen Cinematic Gaming" � will use full real movies. Seamlessly Blending The Movie And Game man, thats the future! kojima would agree If Deus Ex did it, than there is a successful way to make an element work.
But if you do have them, obey the rules of action flick cinema, get in fast, say what you have to say inside of half the time necessary to say it and not a second more and get out fast. Old school Mega Man goodness!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever been excited about a game that goes back to 15 year old technology? I have now. What kind of an gay wet dream overlord of model is Snake?
http://www.gfdata.de/archiv07-2007-gamefront/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots--20070724063651667.jpg That gigantic ass crack... And the ass humping when slowly crawling. Yuck! Some games have stepped out of that mold and are experimenting with new ways of advancing the storyline. Dead Space never take a break from the action for new text and audio logs which advance the storyline of the game and while watching the videos, you can still interact with the environment and even be attacked. I know there are some infuriatingly null moments when you are waiting for some NPC to finish his/her speech, but it will probably be less and less in the future if other developers catch on with that idea that the experience should never take a break from the action.
you could listen to the audio logs and carry on playing the game... quite a good idea really.
I don't think it's anything special, culturally - just that the people who've been making those comments for years finally work in games.
Gamers tend to prefer more input = consequences, as opposed to quicktime type solutions. Sorry for bringing that back up just when most had had their say. AND System Shock 2 FFS. The Mother Of Logs :(
If you find the monkey proposition easter egg, it is totally worth it. this morning, after a particularly challenging chicken vindaloo the previous night. To use a cinematic metaphor, I would go as far as to describe the whole experience as a "Jerry Bruckheimer moment" at least in the sense that the emotional investment it tried to demand from me didn't really pay off in the climax; it may have been an explosive three-flush porcelain-pebbledasher, but there's only so much you can do to disguise the fact that it was just another rather predictable turd. I came out of the toilet feeling manipulated to say the least :/
and I will spare the details because I'm a fecalphobe, but I was driving home one morning after having a late night diner at a Greek restaurant in Washington DC where I had a shell fish dish, and I had to stop at a McDonald's to use the facilities. In the middle of doing my business, the guy in the next style over yelled at me something like, 'you son of a bitch, that smell . .
Someone move this discussion back to console gaming before it's too late.
I know! How about that one game on that console? Sure was a good/bad/average game, wasn't it? Hey, if any of you guys are picking up Gears 2 and want to play this weekend, I'll be playing a lot of multiplayer. If you want to party up, friend me as "WarrenM".
See you out there!
