Video Games - a general discussion thread

“Though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, because I am putting .5 millimeters of lead tipped ‘Fuck You’ into its skull.”

The DOOM single-player is simple precise and gory. The gun shots feel powerful, the enemies feel powerful, you feel powerful. It’s an amazing and BAT SHIT DIFFICULT adrenaline action. Nothing like killing a Baron with his own horn. The new enemy redesigns are awesome, an interesting mixture of the cartoony artstyle of classic games and spoopy realism of DOOM 3.

You meet your first enemy 3 seconds into the game and throughout the game you are forced to get exposition only about 3 times - otherwise, you can ignore everything.

The fact this game has SECRETS!!! has to be the most genius idea ever, since even though I have beaten the game twice, once on Ultra-Nightmare, I still keep coming back and finding new stuff, which is surprising for such simple game.

Multiplayer is not an arena shooter, but neither is it CoD clone. It’s an interesting mixture of both, which is fun, but only for short time. It’s mostly here just to fill your playtime between now and when the next {GENERIC SHOOTER HERE} releases.

SnapMap is an interesting idea, but poorly executed. Despite being the most simplest editor I laid my eyes upon, and having a fuckton of limitations, it’s takes time to learn when you hop into it. What baffles me is that it’s way more complex than DOOM Builder for classic DOOMs, yet has more limitations.

5 out of 5 fucking stars.

RIP AND TEAR MOTHERFUCKER. RIP AND TEAR.

I, personally, don’t plan on going past 1080p HD for the foreseeable future

As a fairly new owner of a not-too-expensive 4k set, I can tell you that you’re missing out.

My PC monitor is 1440p but my TV is still an old CRT shit

If you were going to open on tatooine you could change how the characters get there, and their motives.

Qui Gon might be there alone already with the intention of recruiting Anakin.

Obi Wan might be on Coruscant already with his master Yoda.

The Naboo cruiser could blast through the blockade and land on Tatooine, where upon a chance meeting Padme pleads for help with Qui Gon, who initially doesn’t want to get involved.

Anakin could be the turning point, who only agrees to leave his family on Tatooine and train if Qui Gon agrees to help?

this sounds so much better than original

Star Wars Custom Blu Ray Saga Set (a WIP)

I’m not sure? Did you download the actual file or are you just looking at the compressed preview on drive?

It looks pretty sharp on the file on my computer. I did have to do some funky things to get the new Leia to blend in so it looks (mostly) like it belongs with the surrounding art, because that was just a photograph which I took from the 04 DVD cover. I did this because the image of Leia on the actual Struzan art is clearly not the Leia from SW and is (I think) the Leia from Empire. So it might look slightly soft in that area, but overall it looks pretty sharp to my eyes. You may notice I also added the Death Star into the bottom right corner, but that blended even better than Leia I think. I did the main design of this some time ago, this final version is just updating the proportions to make it fit a 14mm spine bluray case, but I remember using the highest res version of this art that I could find.

The poster art really is very low res and blurry on strutzan version.

Celebration Europe poster:

Hmm, why does all the conventions get all the cool classic-style posters while the theatres end up with those generic photoshops?

Research says people are more likely to buy a movie or a videogame if it has Photoshopped or CGI cover, rather than drawn cover

[citation needed]

Ditto.

I’m not saying your wrong, but I think that most fans would either prefer or don’t mind a painted poster, and quite frankly with something as popular (and I would also argue “retro”) as SW I don’t really image that too many people would really have cared, or perhaps even noticed (I can’t recall anyone making a fuss ver the PT posters). I think that as long as it says “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” people would go see the movie int he theatres and buy the DVD/Blu-ray regardless. Heck some of the DVD/Blu-ray covers are basically just the title anyway and the Teaser poster was literally just the title.
I have a feeling that this is one of those thing that marketers just assume about it’s audience. It’s kind of like how action movie posters always has the hero with his back turned to the camera or how certain actors look the same on every poster they’re on. I can’t really think of any good reasons for these cliches, it’s just one of those things that nobody bothers to change.

Fans? Yes. Dumb masses? No.
