A vita port at the least wouldve been great. I only played the game for a bit with a friend since I dont have a ps3, but I wouldve loved to play it more/portably.

I love abandoned buildings filled with lush vegetation, but it's rarely ever used.

Forest levels autumn edition

I don't know that I like a particular window dressing, but I like level design with a lot of verticality and mixing between large, open spaces and/or landmarks as well as smaller, intricate passageways and architecture. Unfortunately I don't think there's really any game like this. Some 2000s era PeeCee games were vaguely headed in this direction but that time has passed apparently.

Abandoned apartments, shopping areas, and other places where a lot of people were in the past. Stuff like Olympus Heights and Fort Frolic in Bioshock, some of the neon-lit parts of Tokyo in SMTIV, and the various stores/clubs in System Shock 2 were all fun to explore. Something about picking through the remains of lived in areas, seeing how people went about their life and what happened to that life after disaster, is incredibly interesting to me. That's why I love apocalyptic games so much, because everywhere you explore you get to find small remains and hints of who lived there and what happened to them.

I also really love to see just plain reality in video games alongside fantastical/science fiction elements. Games like Persona, Deus Ex, and Vampire: The Masquerade all have worlds that generally stick to real settings but pair it with fantastical elements. There's something about the normalcy of reality paired with fantasy elements that helps to really solidify the contrast between the two.

I love every setting in horror games where things are peacefully and normal right before shit is about to hit the fan

Like the Silent Hill 4 apartment right b4 you crawl back into the holes and get chased by undefeatable ghosts

Or in Soma where you wake up in your flat and ride in sub, right b4 your mind gets sent into post apocalyptic earth way under the sea

Even Deadspace has some small parts with mals and such, b4 everything gets infested and turns to shreds

The new Prey is good at that. The entire start to the game is fantastic and really nails that exact feeling you're talking about. It's not really scary or anything, but certainly has that feeling of realizing how fucked everything is.

>>382387662
But see, there are games with budgets and manpower to make these things happen, they just choose to use their resources to make generic modern cities or open grassy fields.

I dont know why vidya dont go more off the rails with their world designs, if we wanted to emulate real life, we have the real world.

This is actually a really cool setting. As much as Uncharted is just a cinematic, set piece, over the shoulder, cover based shooter, its got some redeeming merits

>>382404704
In the first Shining Force, it begins as a fantasy narrative with Goblins, Dwarves, etc. and over the course of the game it becomes clear that the divine ancients were in reality a highly advanced race that sacrificed themselves to defeat a massive marine leviathan.

>>382405238
It's actually a fantasy world RTS.
Eventually On one of the missions, you come across the ruins of a tank just playing the and it's not commented on at all. Throughout the game you catch little glimpses of this. As the game concludes there's a cinematic that teases a whole world outside their confines of the game world, where technology has progressed to at least the modern day.

The devs were setting up the sequel, and then they died. Really great game too. I think it's on sale for like 2 bucks. Plenty of flaws, but loads of fun and the weird sprite units mixed with 3d to allow for massive armies gives it a unique aesthetic that's kind of comfy

Not him but the entire Rise of Zilart, and Chains of Promathia expansions for FFXI are about the Zilart an extinct race that built lots of the eerie structures around vana'diel.

Hard to get into an old MMO now, but the private servers with XP boost do a pretty good job of letting you play the story,

I know, and that would be fucking excellent, it's a perfect fit for the dark fantasy/horror they do in dark souls and bloodborne.

Most gods in aztec mythology are pretty much just already souls bosses.

I don't care if it makes me a faggot, I fucking love "enchanted forest" type settings with fireflies, glowing mushrooms, colorful shit everywhere, etc. You know what I mean right?

The only ones I remember are Era or Legiondark.

Nasomi doesn't have any XP boost, so its super slow to level, and most of their population is idle/bots

I feel ya my dude, that whole dungeon was great. the final boss's room was really pretty as well.

Pacific Northwest. I'm sure it's a "grass is greener" sort of thing, but I loved games like Alan Wake and Life is Strange almost entirely because of the setting.

What are some games with this? I know some parts of wow have it, trine, maybe darkroot in DS. Nothing else comes to mind.
