I kinda feel like video games have been stunted, you know?
What do YOU think the cause is?
Lazy devs
>>315576132
What shitty water. Looks like it has infinite energy. If this is your example, OP, then spot on.
>>315576132
Why work hard on something when people will eat it up anyways?
Bad tools developed by incompetent developers.
Tech demos do not represent actual games. The big problem, and usually the cause of bullshots or high-end footage that gets downgraded, is when devs create a closed off portion of the game to show off, and then find out that the shit won't run when they attach it to the rest of the game world.
Here's a start
>>315576132
Higher popularity and higher graphical expectations.Too a smaller degree, voice acting.
>>315576418
>infinite energy
There's an invisible wall pushing it back and forth to simulate a tide
>>315576132
The rise of indie games with no content, and the rise of early access meaning devs can promise the world and not deliver.
It just goes to show, you don't even have to make a good game any more to be successful. So most people don't even try.
>>315576418
>Implying you know shit about water simulations
>>315576132
AAA game studios spend millions to make games, they need to play it safe because doing a risky move is financially retarded. That's why you only see innovation in indie games. I think it's pretty obvious.
>>315576132
Buyouts and production/advertising costs.
In the 2D era, developers could afford to turn out dozens of original titles. They threw as much as they could at the wall to see what would stick, and eventually we were left with some that became legendary classics.

Just another tech demo like that model of the old guy's head and face. Great by itself but that quality cannot be maintained in a full game so it's worthless.
>>315577224
>tumblr
can this meme stop?
If we want to take the op water example specifically, computing power still isn't really up there yet. All these tech demoes, while real time and highly optimised, exist in very confined, specific test environments. Per-pixel physics simulation required for stuff like this (3D liquids, 3D cloth, soft surfaces, gas, etc) requires immense computing power. Throw in general asset rendering and streaming, AI calculation, input, game systems, and all that other stuff required for games and even with state of the art modern tech we still hit a ton of walls.
Hypothetically if you had a game engine and assets built for the highest end PC CPU/RAM/GPU combination you could definitely start experimenting with this kind of tech on a small scale. But yeah. Something to understand with tech demos like this is that they exist because rendering this shit in real time with all the other game junk going on and maintaining performance is still a bit illusive to us. It's something engineers and programmers in 3D rendering are aggressively exploring, trying to find hardware/software solutions to more efficiently render real time per-pixel physics calculations on complex assets.
>>315577130
but those tech isnt free idiot, they need money to develop and its not guarantee it will be best seller.
Just look at undertale, what kind of tech it has??
>>315577440

I mean, yeah, it'd be pretty cool in a sandbox game or a game who's mechanics are water based - but what good would accurately simulated water do in, say, an RPG or an FPS? It's just fancy shit that doesn't really add anything except eye candy, and it'll be pretty cool for like 10 minutes, then you'll get used to it and not care about it anymore

If an FPS had an underwater stage, you could shoot out the walls/windows to let water flow in. The bigger the hole, the faster the water rises. Once it gets high enough you'll have to wade through it and objects in the level would move around. So you'd be slower, but could move with an object as a cover. Once it gets higher you'd have to swim which would limit offensive options, but bullets would be less damaging to you as well. So it'd be melee combat focused, and also being able to swim to the ceiling to surprise people lower down.

$10 says that that ONE model is taking literally the entire processing power of a bleeding edge eight core processor to run it in real time with full particle physics. Which is why you probably will never see that tech in an actual game that isn't a wave watching simulator.

Technically speaking: Consoles. Specifically, the fact that the current and prior generation of consoles are so fucking weak hardware-wise. They have shit memory and shit GPUs. They were obsolete before they even hit the shelves. They hold back the entire industry because they have such a huge market share. The average video game consumer doesn't want to deal with the hassle of building a gaming computer, so he buys a console.
Creatively speaking: The AAA dev cycle stifles creativity by strongly disincentivizing risk-taking. We rarely get games that try to break new ground, because breaking new ground is expensive and you might not see a return on your investment. Crowdfunding could have changed this, but instead it just convinced people to stick with the AAA model that was already in place, because consumers don't like taking risks either, and honestly, 9/10 Kickstarter games either failed to deliver or just never came together at all.
In terms of quality: The average video game consumer has appallingly low standards and doesn't really have much of an opinion beyond "this game was good." This is a problem because it leads to people accepting subpar games as the standard. Games that are broken on launch, games that just retread old ground, games that fail to live up to their potential. Also, the more passionate people become about games, the more likely the are to be total fucking fanboys. This is a problem because it leads to people rabidly defending subpar games and dismissing their flaws as insignificant or unimportant.
The end result of all this is Bethesda being hailed as a great developer despite their many, many flaws, EA getting away with consumer exploitation that puts cable companies to shame, Ubisoft staying afloat despite putting out nothing that rises above middling for years, etc.
Let's not even get into the self-reinforcing circle jerk that is the indie scene and its relationship with video game news outlets.
PC's graphics aren't held back by consoles.
They're held back because the hardware needed to run better graphics is expensive.
No sense wasting time and effort making settings .01% of your consumers are going to fully utilize.
Graphics increase as processing power becomes cheaper.

Nothing wrong with those either. Just because you create something doesn't necessarily mean you need to engage with things other people create within the same field. Somebody may like to write much more than they care to read what other people write. Somebody may much prefer to make their own films than to watch films made by others. A musician doesn't need to listen to music. A painter doesn't need to engage with the art community.

Dude. That tiny video in the OP would probably take top tier hardware to run it, let alone an entire beachfront in an actual videogame. Which is why even if consoles disappeared, games would still suffer because games have to be made with mid-low tier hardware in mind. Otherwise no one will be able to even play the game and the game won't make back the astronomical cost of producing something complicated.

You don't animate characters like that when the art is that simple, you don't. Modular animation in pixel art should be reserved for detailed pieces as a necessity for the action involved. Treasure's games and Metal Slug make good use of these techniques. fuck
I played the demo and decided it wasn't for me
>>315580421
People are lazy and not too intelligent. Keep in mind Valve (or any AAA game dev for that matter) have to cover a broad spectrum of players and their intelligence to be successful. Portal is just simplistic enough that casuals understand it while having some level of possible difficulty past that.

Again, you're missing my point entirely. I'm not talking about bleeding-edge fluid physics shit, I'm talking basic shit like limitations in memory and bandwidth and processing speed. The scope and scale of games is limited by the fact that if you want to make the big bucks you need to build for the lowest common denominator: the most popular console.

Super deepthroat wasn't too bad to be honest family.
Video games are a novel medium. Their interactivity makes them fun to play regardless of the quality of the video game itself. However, the novelty of the medium expires eventually for those who have been playing long enough, where the simple act of interacting with a game is no longer fun. Then, to those players, good design becomes the number one factor on whether or not a game is enjoyed.
The main problem is that a small subset video game hobbyists (who are different from the people who played video games as children's toys) have been playing for way, way longer than the majority, who came in with the mid 2000s boom. So for the forerunners, the novelty of interactivity has been worn out, and they have more subtle tastes. The majority, however, still enjoy novelty, and they buy and play video games not because they're good games, but because they're games. They don't need anything more to get their money's worth. And as they're the majority, their low standards have set the bar low for publishers.
There will always be people new to video games, so there will always be casual shitfests. But as the 2000s boom generation grows older and they stop being entertained by low-quality games, we will see a viable market for "highbrow" games develop.
>>315577814
That isn't real time. You can't to caustics like that in real time.
Greedy publishers
They try to push for bigger day one sales over a better quality game. Most games have massive sales in their first or second week but after that it dies down. If they can capture those sales in the first week, then the game is basically paid for. Look how hard Fallout is pushing in marketing. No doubt there are marketers here trying to push the game let alone the rest of the world. It's amazing evident here in Australia.
Look at the sales here, even though DA:O had better sales overall, DA:II probably made more because everyone bought it in the first week at full price, including all the pre-orders. Eventually sales almost become negligible once it starts getting past 6 weeks b/c prices could start going down and deals and discounts are being offered.
>tl;dr essentially publishers are trying for a greater day one sales instead, more money buying on release instead of several weeks later.

fuck off kiddo my dad works for nasa
Specs and the ridiculous arms race involving them. People constantly argue over hardware specs (Xbox vs PlayStation vs PC), so devs think that's what is important to us and that is what they focus on. And since that becomes the backbone of what they sell the games and platforms on, that leads to more people fighting over them and how they make one platform better than others. This spirals out of control and anyone actually trying to innovate in actual gameplay (like Nintendo) get scoffed at for not participating in the spec race. And since higher specs mean more expensive games, this race is not sustainable and everything is going to c4ash down eventually.

Wow ya'll are stupid. Games have just about ALWAYS been about making money. The amount varies from gaming generation to gaming generation but that has always been the driving force. Someone invests in your game, you make it, they get their money back, you make money to feed yourself and your new BMW*. This is how it's been since the fucking Atari. Any dev that says "we made this game purely out of a love for gaming" is blowing smoke up your ass.

>>315581251
Honestly I never thought about this. We're a bunch of cynical fucks who have seen it all before because we started with the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive, or the Playstation and N64. We're jaded and the novelty wore off a long time ago, but for the average consumer Fallout 3 blows their fucking mind because it's so big (since they never played Daggerfall). Bioshock Infinite has such great characters (because they never played Legacy of Kain).
>>315577814
Seeing this reminds me of playing the Pacific beach levels in Tomb Raider 3 for the first time as a kid, being blown away by technology and all that. It was exciting enough to see drawn on water ripple effects back then.

He sure as shit needed to listen to music in order to become a musician. How many congenitally deaf musicians are there?
>I would still argue it's possible.
Possible =/= Reasonable expectation
>>315581154
Beethoven isn't really an equal analogy; the guy was a fucking savant at music, far beyond any person in the video game industry ever has been. It's not a matter of being a musician or game dev, it's of being good at it. A game developer who just stops playing games will be a shitty one because they won't know what's in vogue now. Fallout 1, if released today with a different name, would flop on it's face simply because it's not a popular/successful genre. Ostracizing yourself from the very market you sell to generally leads to a disconnect, and in today's market that can be pretty bad (at least until the consumers forget - see Payday 2 and their most recent fiasco that the cocksucking players have already forgotten about)

Although almost definitely not what you had in mind, technically this would qualify:
>For about 10 years from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was held in various Russian prisons and work camps. During this time he would have had virtually no access to books. During these same years he wrote large parts of his own body of literary work, including One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Friends smuggled his writing out on scraps of paper, envelopes, etc. Clearly he read (and wrote his first book) as a university student and again after his time in prison, but the core of his best-known books, the work for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1970, was written in the absence of other writers' work.

I've said nothing about the latest and greatest being the standard, just having a higher bar for consoles than fucking deprecated on arrival, which is what the Xbone and PS4 were. Nintendo at least isn't pretending to be the latest and greatest shit and sticking with the niche they've entrenched themselves into, but Microsoft and Sony are somehow not only impressing consumers with their outdated tech, but convincing them that they don't need anything better than 30 FPS.

Can confirm.
I own 216 shares of Activision-Blizzard (bought before the merge with Blizzard) and I swear behind closed doors it's always talking about profits and revenue. Almost no one in there is under 40 years old. It's all money to them.
I always try to ask about making better games with more money. I get a lot of sour looks but I always try to invest into a company I feel has good priorities on things and try to steer them away from things like micro-transactions. DLC? I can understand. But nickel and diming a customer? That's just bad business no matter how you slice it.

And you're fucking wrong, because he listened to music very often for the first 45 or so years of his life. He wrote his best stuff in spite of being deaf, and you can be damn sure he read sheet music that other people were putting out while he did it.
>>315582473
Thing is, even midrange PCs leave the current-gen consoles in the fucking dust. With a 750ti and an i5 you're already running a better machine than Microsoft or Sony provide.
Stale AAA games
Kikestarter
Consumers buying bad products
F2P models
MMOs
I think one of the biggest problems is that in a world of intellectual properties we can't steal something that works.
Let's say a game has an incredible plot. But the game itself is dogshit - mechanics just absolute garbage. We're not allowed to steal that plot and frame it in a superior game - bringing ourselves to a better product. It's like movies, they buy the rights to something incredible (World War Z) make a shit adaptation, and the good idea suddenly is poisoned as a movie product as the owners of the movie rights sit on it. We will not see a "good" television or movie adaptation of World War Z in our lifetime because of the way intellectual rights are held. Shit, it takes like 50 years or something to enter the public domain right?
Inventory management, party organization, matchmaking - companies are not allowed to steal from each other to produce the superior product. And there's no financial incentive to go back, and fix something for the better unless there is good fucking reason to do it - that's why we get remakes of games but we don't get any effort into taking something that was "okay" and polishing it to be great.
In gaming I want to present an idea and that's fast-fowarding through the credits. There is no arguing that is a fucking great feature to breeze through that and get to NG+ ASAP. Yet the vast majority of games refuse to implement that feature. Realistically nobody gives a fuck about the credits anyways.
There is no reason why we can't take every crate designed for video games and put the textures into the public domain. Fuck hiring some artist to waste their fucking time designing a crate from scratch every game - that money and effort can be used on sidequests or some shit like that.

>On consoles and technical shit, I'd probably fault them on the basis that 7th gen has stuck around for a shitload of time.
This is a big, big part of it. 5th gen and prior consoles were a bit underpowered in comparison to gaming PCs of the era but they could hold their own. By the time the PS2 rolled around there wasn't even any comparison, and the fact that 6th and 7th gen consoles had such a long life did not help things at all.

Holy absolute fuck. Stop showing your goddamn underage so much.
When the PS1 was released 3D acceleration cards for gaming PCs didn't even exist yet.
When the N64 released, the best gaming 3D accelerator was the S3 Virge, a total piece of shit that was nicknamed The 3D Decelerator.
And it gets even more embarrassing for PCs the further back in time you go.
The first generation where a gaming PC could be more powerful than a console was 6th generation.
>>315582961
>being deaf invalidates this
That's not the point. The point is that no longer playing games does not invalidate the years that a developer DID play games. If Beethoven can get by on his knowledge of music without needing to listen to it, why can't a developer get by on their knowledge of games without needing to play them?

I was comparing listening to music and stopping, and playing games and stopping. You're comparing playing games and stopping, and never playing games. We aren't talking about the same thing. Just because somebody doesn't label themselves as a "gamer" doesn't mean they've never played a video game.

>>315583518

Okay, that's kinda fucked up.
But that just calls for reform. An academic paper gets away with flagrant "plagiarism" simply by putting something in quotations. Someone put it better than you, so you might as well use their expression and differ to their authority so long as you make the effort to differ to their authority.
I know this sounds naive but I want to believe we can have intellectual property enter the public domain yet have the creator's estate retain some portion of the earnings of that work for a duration after the public domain.
So, let's say you designed the greatest fucking inventory management in the history of video video games. You (i.e. the company you work for) owns that. It enters the public domain immediately but you retain royalty rights for let's say 40 years.
You write a fantastic book. The movie rights enter the public domain for adaptation but you retain royalties for the product for the stupid death+70 years. The money always gets in the way, but this way the money is retained by the creator (or property owner) but the art is allowed to flourish and that ultimately is what is important.
>>315580421
Yes actually.
If you get someone who has never played a videogame, to be able to play and beat their video game, it means anyone can making it more accessible to a larger market.

>but you're being myopic if you don't think that the PS1 wasn't made from cheap hardware. A top of the line PC at the time had twice the processing power.
Nope.
On December 3, 1994, the top PC CPU was the Pentium 100mhz, which would have to process all of the 3D graphics all by itself. This machine could handle Quake 1 - 320x240 - 30fps. Quake 2 would lag too much.
Meanwhile, the PS1 has its 33mhz MIPS 3000A RISC CPU (which is more efficient per clock than a CISC CPU like the Pentium), a co-processor called GTE which SPECIALIZED at transforming polygons, and a dedicated texturing/rasterizing unit. This machine could handle Quake 2 - 512x240 - 30fps (albeit equivalent to software mode).

Well I stand corrected then. You're actually reinforcing my point, though. Namely, that in older generations of consoles, they were a hell of a lot better in comparison to PCs of the time than what the current generation is, and sixth gen was the tipping point.
Change in display technology also resulted in change in methodology.
>big budget games made by huge studios
game is much more of a product. devs focus too much on marketing and building hype for the game in order to make more money. Budgets are fucking huge and a large chunk of the money goes to said marketing (many, many lies are told here). A lot of work goes to waste when devs are forced to hold themselves back since they must focus on consoles (more profitable). The bigger the franchise, the more accessible it needs to be to continue its expansion.
>indie games
making a successful game is easier than ever thanks to stuff like kickstarter and early access, but these also make it easier to lose focus and not deliver an actual finished product. Most of them just follow current trends/styles in order to have a better chance at success. We then end up with several similar games, many of which are never completed
unless you were speaking about graphics exclusively. I'd say we're improving at a normal rate

Whats up with this scale
streamlining. once you add completely random variables like physics interactions, it becomes difficult to design work arounds. for example, in stalker, the a.i is allowed to walk around and explore of its own accord, as well as enemies. what happens? vital npcs get caught in the whirligigs and other anomalies.
so, a water example would be a vital npc in a boat getting flipped over and drowning, or a wave accidently pushing them onto land, or whatever. if npcs could trip over anything like that, then youd end up with swat teams all tripping over the first person they shoot.
basically, you cant just put in advanced water. you need to program the a.i to work around it, drive boats safely through it, and programs routines for the a.i to do when something goes wrong. for the world to improve, the a.i needs to improve with it, and a.i sure as shit hasnt.

It sounds good but then we ask who chooses how much it's worth?
If a video game uses another persons setting, how much are they owed? 1%? 0.1%? 10%? 50%?
The creator would have to decide (it's their work after all) and we all know they'd be asking for the largest amount possible which means the problem would still persist.
There's really no real way to do something like that, it'd be nice if devs had the option to do something like that though, if the dev got critical acclaim for their story so decided "Make a better game than me, give me 10% and you can use the story" but it'd be an extremely rare occurrence.

Yes. I guess 5th gen in some ways was unusual, since the only reason that the consoles were better than contemporary PCs is that the early 3D acceleration cards were hot garbage.
Once the Voodoo came out, even the N64 was old hat in comparison to what it could do.
Actually the PS2 on some metrics could probably beat an early 2000 PC (Geforce 256 based), but in practice due to the extremely tiny VRAM and broken AA fell behind.

It's trash hardware, lacked a blu-ray player, and had the hidden fee of paying to play online. Parents bought their kids the cheaper shit, friends of these kids then wanted the cheaper shit to play together, and nobody understands what they're buying vs. what they could be getting.

this is stupid. any computer can be used for gaming, but not every console can be used for anything else. you could argue that most racing is done in shitbox cars, and technically its true, because ANY car can be raced, and the vast majority of them are shitboxes.
if you want to actually be accurate, instead of comparing all computers to one console, you need to compare all consoles, to all computers. so, PlayStation has sold a total of almost half a billion consoles, but only about 30 million of them can even play the lastest games. that means 94% of playstations are shit, right?

Not him, but generally the piston is moved by the internal energy of the gas itself. If the gas is not in thermal equilibrium, it will lose energy by pushing the piston outward or heat flow through the walls of the container. In this case, the gas is the thing providing the force (in the form of a pressure over an area). However, there could also be a loss of heat from the gas, causing the pressure of the gas to decrease, causing the pressure difference to push the piston inward. In this case, the gas outside the piston (meaning from outside the system) is doing work.
If you attach something, say a pump, to the piston, then that machine is doing the work. In any case, the piston is just an attachment that allows an outside force to move the wall of the container, while the gas itself is what is doing all the work. Aside from that, any external machine that you attach is the thing doing work.
>>315588243
That already somewhat happens, when working on a character model you tend to have a base to build off but they don't change too much.
The problem is more the style of the game, transfer a crate from Uncharted to Crash and the amount of changes it'd need would mean you may as well have made your own.
And as far as only slightly modifying, you'd be changing the textures at the very least, at most the model itself. So basically: not enough change and as the other guy said it'd still look the same, too much change and you may as well have started from scratch.

Are you implying what Valve's doing is wrong?
Remember that Valve isn't making games just for you, for me, for us, but everyone else out there. They and every other remotely competent company deliberately get people like that to test their products so that if it works for them, then they know their product will be functional for as many people among the masses as possible. You spend millions on a three year "AAA" project that gives Touhou lunatic a run for its money at its easiest, sell it for $40 at launch, and watch it just fly off the shelves and maintain sales and rave reviews.Why am I even playing defense force?

Energy is reduced from one thing because it passes on to another thing. Entropy is the loss of energy from a system because it leaves, escapes.
This is a closed system with no inputs or outputs. It is a confined volume. The energy has nowhere to escape to.

it would, if there was no way for it to bleed energy, like, heat and friction. of course if you add ways for it to bleed energy itll stop. this is the entire point. in this particular simulation, ways for it to bleed energy are simply not simulated, so no energy is ever lost.
you know how you can make perpetual motion machines in some videogames, because they dont simulate reality perfectly? or how you can gain speed in counter strike because of the way friction and inertia is simplified?
can you understand that in order for energy to be lost, it needs somewhere to be lost to
>>315590004
No, because the water and glass is surrounded by your hands, the air, and the rest of the universe for that energy to pass on to.

yeah. theres a litany of hardcore simulation games for pc that appeal to only a niche market, sure. they get that cool tech into it. just like any other form of media. theres 3d movies and arty short films and shit, but the money isnt there, its in the block busters. so you see an appropriate distribution between the two. material deformation and water simulation exists, and its in a few games. minor, small games. where the money is, triple A games, like grand theft auto, dont really have extensive detail put into it. not worth the money.

You want that. You can only get that with a genuinely good product.

Publishers are greedy fucks, and they make some stupid decisions, but they don't want disenfranchised fans.

Here's my take:
The water sloshes around the system. As the water molecules hit each other and the molucules of the lighthouse and air, a tiny bit of kinetic energy is lost and converted into thermal (?) energy. After a very long time, all the energy is lost and the water is completely still. Basically entropy means that all the energy is completely distributed evenly around the system as heat.
>>315580691
yeah its too bad you cant just drop in a gpu. like a computer. of course, console games are very specially designed to take advantage of the specific hardware inside of them, which is why there are no pc versions of any console game, and when there is, you cant change the settings.
>>315592764
>As the water molecules hit each other and the molucules of the lighthouse and air, a tiny bit of kinetic energy is lost and converted into thermal (?) energy
and so, if theres no temperture or thermal energy simulation, then it cant be lost that way.
>>315576665
This is actually a massive, massive problem.
I personally know several people who work in the game industry who have literally said to me many times "I don't have time to play games".
If you're not making time in your life to play good games as game developer then you're not doing your job right. You need that exposure to do it. You need to know what it's like from the other side.
There's also the whole issue of some people get into game development who never played many video games at all to begin with. They're more into the creative side of things, and sometimes this can be good, but often it ends up being really, really bad.

What do you mean by this?
>>315592764
That wouldn't be entropy as no energy is lost. That would just be a reconfiguration of the system with the same amount of energy.
>>315593719
Entropy isn't the loss of energy I believe.
>a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Energy can't be lost, it can only be turned into a different type of energy.
>>315593036
Man it's not a problem just in industry. It's a problem everywhere.
You have to crank out 40 hours of productivity out of a person. It's just go-go-go. Any time not spent making value/money is spent learning how to make more value.
The only industry I've seen where the workers are paid to take the time to sample product to understand quality product is the high-end food industry. They sit down, chill out, and sample shit.
That's why it should be treated as a fucking miracle if anybody at anything actually tells you something interesting or makes recommendations about the product they're selling or working on. Because more often than not they don't have the time to learn about any of that shit - what they told you was done on their own time.
You know what's stunting video games? Casuals. Smart phones. Supermassive budgets spent on marketing and graphics instead of gameplay. Focus on story and cutscenes instead of gameplay. Pirates. DRM. Copper phone lines. The Sony Playstation brand. Microsoft. Nintendo's censorship brigade. People who have never touched and will never touch video games demanding inclusiveness despite not being the target demographic, only giving a shit because it's popular. Indie developers and 2deep4u games.

That quote's from just after 2:50 in the video. He's been making CGR from 1999 - 2000, then 2008 - 2015, but there's just no competing anymore, the internet has been taken from fun and enjoyment and delivered unto EPIC LEL RAGE SCREAM REACTION MINECRAFT PART #405 LIVESTREAM bullshit.

>>315594769
literally wrong
The industry lacks games for people who grew up with video games in the 90s, like myself for instance. Everything appeals to a younger gamer audience and not to someone like me who has been there and done that. Nothing challenges me anymore nor are there narratives that play in parallel to the gameplay. Which is why I also do not like cinematic games like the casual crowd does. If I wanted to watch a drama, I'd go watch tv.

its true. second life has a bunch of pinball aficionados and easily supports the ability to change into a pinball and function off pinball mechanics. its how the pinball games work in it. the pinball is an entity, like a person, and you can control any entity. thus, you can at will, be a pinball who can only move via other entities, flappers and bumpers. it exists. an open world, action rpg with pinball controls

They have to work 80 hour weeks (and then some depending on how much of an asshole the company is) and games require hours at a time, they can't be expected to do that. They should do it obviously, but they can't be expected to.
Now indies on the other hand, while they need to work even harder (and they obviously don't), it's basically a tier above hobby for most of them so they have no excuse.

Well, that's why the games are shitty.
Lack of passion and skilled developers who have the freedom to exercise their engineering backgrounds.
1: Incompetent devs.
2: Devs that don't play games.
3: Overinflated budgets.
4: 9 month-5 year development cycles.
5: ZERO accountability for making a bad game.
6: Paid positive press for shitty titles.
7: Devs that don't play games.
8: Developing for demos, rather than end game.
9: Developing for TRAILERS, rather than early game.
10: Getting money before your game is finished.
Number 10 is especially egregious. Can you name a single AAA game in the last six months that launched without a slew of glaring bugs that any tester would have noticed, without day 1 DLC and month 1 patches, without obviously cut content that would have made the game feel more complete, without a rushed as hell last half when they realized the budget was running out? Name a single one.

That's more the fault of the designer than devs as a whole. Programming wizards don't need to know the intricacies of the game as long as they can produce what's needed to make the vision work.
>>315600445
Programmers WERE the developers, that's what has changed over the years. We don't have gamers and nerds making games anymore.
My problem with modern gaming is this idea that all technical boundaries need to be pushed. Every game needs to basically be a tech demo. There is no 'settling.' It sets up this catch-22 where no matter how good a game looks, the problem is 'why doesn't it look better' because it failed to meet its own ridiculous promises. Because everybody expects that newgen games need to be, well, game changers. So shitloads of money gets dumped into model quality and graphics in general. Final Fantasy XII looks miles better than Kingdom of Amalur despite the former's age and the latter's ridiculous budget. That's fucking insane. So personally, I'd be entirely fine if game devs got out of the "MUST RENDER AS MUCH SHIT AS POSSIBLE" sinkhole and just went with "It looks good. Not award winning, but good." I'm not saying lets go back to the N64, but late end 360/PS3 polygons were fine. Just, I don't know, improve the textures. All I know is that I don't give a shit about individual strands of hair at this point. It does nothing for me.
The other part is that those funding these games view them as investments instead of entertainment. Things need to be safe or the funds just aren't going to be given. It has to be big hitter IPs, even with juggernauts like Nintendo.
Kickstarter could have fixed this idea that every game needs to be a recognizable brand, and everyone could be their own Romero. However, instead of Doom/Quake 1 Romero, they all turned out to be Daikatana Romero and started shitting the bed. So, on one hand you got corporate investors who are allergic to something even remotely risky, and on the other you got kekstarter that fails to produce anything at an alarmingly high rate.
The PS2 and N64 era was basically the Wild West of gaming; you could go balls to the wall and see if you stuck, but not anymore. Guitaroo Man would never be made on a modern console. Neither would Bomberman 64: Second Attack. Too weird; too niche.
Also pre-orders are fucking cancer.
>>315600567
Programmers are still the developers, they're just told what to do by people that have never particularly liked games.
>>315600716
>My problem with modern gaming is this idea that all technical boundaries need to be pushed. Every game needs to basically be a tech demo.
That's not true for most games, but those games don't tend to realize their graphics look considerably worse since tech has advanced, in order to not go for top graphics you need to move away from the realism style.
But shit, some games push "style" too much, look at indie games.
>what do you mean the graphics are shit? It's 8bit, you just don't understand my style
>what do you mean my 8bit sprites are poorly made? It's an art style!
>what do you mean "I want to punch your fucking canadian face so fucking much"? Choke on my dick
There's a difference between moving away from top tier graphics and just having shitty graphics.
>>315601293
To be fair, I'm entirely okay with PS2 graphics. If it means more focus on refining mechanics/extra content.
Pixel shitter indie art fags need to either embrace their simplicity and not fool themselves into thinking they're giving the world a masterpiece.
>>315581660
If you're still on here, you're not an adult yet
>graphics become more realistic
>even more work required to make them not look uncanny
>further work required to prevent bugs from happening since modern visual standards compounds the complexity of the game, resulting in pretty jarring glitches
>devs stuck playing it safe with everything because of time & budget constraints
I've been playing a lot of independent games (actual studios, not bedroom indies) lately solely because there's some experimentation/labours of love out there.
>>315576132
no new Populous games
I was into rpgs like FF7 and 8 and following. But it seems no studio makes rpgs like that anymore. Even obscure stuff like Legend of Mana. Games lack the soul they once had.
>>315576132
I don't know about truly stunted but I can't be the only who feels the like there was no jump between 7th and 8th generation consoles
The jump from 6th to 7th gen at least brought "HD" but at the cost of awful hardware. Should have waited to make the jump till 2007 at least
Anyways, the biggest "jump" point for improvement in games always used to be graphics and how good a game looked. It's fucking stupid I think but you can attach buzzwords to it and get it to sell. That's not saying graphics and performance aren't important in vidya but I don't think they should be what they tend to be billed as.
Problem is that graphics have hit another "wall" if you will, and instead of having consoles with limits like the old days, where devs would push as hard as they could, if skilled enough, to use every ounce of power to create something great. Even classic older PC games did this.
Now I don't think a lot of devs try to push the envelope anymore and work with what they have.
>>315601747
The problem is you're the minority.
People have been so spoiled by tech advancements that ps2 graphics look like this to them (aged like fine milk).
>>315601747
>To be fair, I'm entirely okay with PS2 graphics.
Yeah, because all PS2 games were gorgeous and weren't a step above N64 graphics.
>>315602316
Also I feel like things are way to streamlined.
No one takes risks anymore
>>315602268
Play Trails in the Sky, 2nd Chapter just came out (but obviously 1st chapter comes first. It's cheapest on key sites)
>>315602438
>Trails in the Sky
>that art style
No thanks. There's a reason I avoid the Suikoden and Tales games.
Where did all the "mid budget" games go?
Shit that didn't cost AAA money or have a huge marketing stint, but still had a talented team and corporate assets behind it. Where's the Ace Combats, Fatal Frames, etc? You'd think with the ps4 selling at a breakneck pace it would open up the gates for a little risk taking. But instead there's still only a small handful of worthwhile games for it, and those are still pretty derivative.
>>315600716
>The PS2 and N64 era was basically the Wild West of gaming
I think the Wild West of gaming was during the Spectrum/Commodore 80's era when you as a one-man-band "bedroom programmer" could just make a game and send it to publishers.

>>315602364
I said I'd be okay with it. However, I'm also one of those people who always a generation behind. My experience with 'cutting edge' graphics has always been through screenshots and video, because by the time I get my hands on games with said graphics, they've devolved into middle of the road graphics.
However, that is entirely the consequence of me being a poorfag. I understand that most don't feel the same.
>>315602568
Well, Fatal Frame didn't go anywhere. And it got ~60s from reviewers, regardless of whether players actually enjoy the game or not.
And right there is the problem: the big boys want big bucks, so only the huge budget huge return games get investments these days, with the absolutely-nothing poverty-tier indieshits taking up the rest of the stage with occasional hits, whether or not they're actually good games. No one wants to push out middle-tier small returns with bad reviews except Marvelous/XSeed and censorship sponsers like NISA.

Well there you go. Therein lies one of my bigger problems. And yeah I know FFV is out, and it's completely the only Japanese middleware product I can think of in the past 3 years. We even managed to get shit like Nier and Catherine last gen.
More rpgs need to use FFV's and FFX-2's system.
>>315602735
You can kinda see why it was done, there's an entire group of people that refuse to touch it because of the graphics being so bad compared to what they're used to but they still want to play it.

>>315602963
Oh I absolutely understand why it was done. But it's just kind of this microcosm of larger issue. Most here have grown up playing video games as a real hobby not just occasional distractions. Back in the earlier gens gaming was so niche that the only people making games were catering to hobbyists. Nowadays it's more profitable to cater to those who buy a console for 3 games and hope your game is one of those three even though one of the games is always FIFA

He doesn't. Microtransactions and DLC would have come about no matter what. DRM exists because of piracy, but that's only a problem if the games are on PC in the first place since consoles have the DRM built in.
Over saturation with very little new ideas or innovations.
Face it we've reached a point where most game types are starting to melt together. How many more third person cinematic shooters or open world side quest games can we play?

That's what happened, I fucking hate games putting so much emphasis on graphics nowadays, back in the 90´s the debate was over GAMEPLAY AND REPLAYABILITY.
You could have average to lower than average graphics, but if gameplay was nice, shit would usually sell well.
Devs were not guided by an autistic "BUSINUSS MUN WITH AN ADMINUSTRATON DEGREE FRUM HURVURD", who knew nothing about fun or videogames, whatsoever.
>>315576132
All the talented folk all left he industry and devs are now staffed with code grunts who weren't smart enough to see a shitty job when it was staring them in the face.

People willingly gobble shit up and have no standards the same fucks who say I don't care if there is X amount problems I'm just glad we're getting it. Or people that say shit like "why are you complaining you rather not get any at all?"
Bitch this is not a soup kitchen its a fucking paid product and this type of thinking has been paving and smoothing the slopes since forever but with the advent of online being a common place and social media these fuckers actually can have their voice heard and ruin shit.
Its a cycle I see no stopping in the future. I also see people blaming the devs but if they aren't getting points for extra credit I don't see why they would go above and beyond. So all in all open you fucking mouths if you see people complaining either get educated or shut your fucking mouth and keep it moving and accept that some people care about video games.

those sims makes no sense. the chaotic nature of foam and waves comes from irregularities on the floor/air and temperature. a realistic simulation of that setting would be super smooth. It's just a scientific bullshot.
>>315578852
Look at Red Alert 3.
It's not really comparable directly, but if they made the game today with top machines in mind, it would be perfectly doable.
The trick is simple... You can render this little batch, it simply gets ridiculous if you want to simulate the whole beach (a top system has about 4 times the processing power of the thing running the simulation in the WebM so it can comfortable fill a whole 1080p screen) but in an RTS game, you're only ever going to see a part of said beach and voilá.

>>315582068
That's not too surprising, really.
Perhaps you could ask about tapping into previously untapped markets? For example, they're sitting on both Spyro and Crash, both games who haven't had a decent game in a while, and making a decent downloadable title for those IPs shouldn't be too hard.
You just need somebody who's interested in the series to give it a shot. Preferable somebody who has played the originals and enjoys them. There's nothing worse for a game than a lead dev who doesn't want to work on the game.
