they don't have colored blasts in BM but I don't know about the pack leader and sleeping

>>386539983
In Black Mesa, sadly, they are recreated through rigid scripts, rather than being dynamic like in HL1. You do find groups of Houndeyes napping, and as your screenshot shows this one being fascinated by TV, but all of those were just predetermined. Just as they did not include other feature of the Houndeye A.I. - the Alpha/pack leader behavior, or the dynamic roach A.I.

Then again, let's be completely honest. 99% of all people NEVER ACTUALLY FUCKING NOTICED any of this shit. It was discovered by people fucking around in editors. It's basically impossible to take notice of these things in the actual game. I'm not suprised or mad that Black Mesa just decided to pay homages rather than bother with the dynamic A.I. scripts.

>>386540130
If I'm not mistaken, Zen is scheduled to come out this fall.

>>386540175
>If I'm not mistaken, Zen is scheduled to come out this fall.
It was supposed to come out this summer. But of course it got delayed.

>>386540275
Hardly suprising. That said, if it's half decent, I might end up finally buying the damn thing. I heard they eventually got both the guys who made Surface Tension and Railroad uncut mods onboard and supposedly those are to be added (in adjusted form) to the full release too.
I'm curious how they will tackle all of it. But I replayed Black Mesa earlier this week and it's damn good, even in the free version. Few flaws here and there but still - it's remarkable.

>>386540068
No, it was rated perfectly: A good mob story told through meh gameplay and a sterile, pointless open world.

>>386540465
People expected fucking GTA and it was not GTA. That was the game's main issue, and the most common complaint.

Are the mafia ganes worth playing?

>>386540545
1: Yes if you can get past the graphics.
2: Yes if you can get past the world being extremely static.
3: Yes if you can get past the /v/ memeing, and also only do the bare minimum of missions because goddamn do they get repetitive.

>>386540465
the gameplay was fine and the game world was awesome. I don't get what's wrong

>>386540580
If you don't mind kinda dull and basic third-person shooter gameplay and traditionally videogame-style-bad driving, yeah.
They have great atmosphere, solid writing and story, good world though people are mad because it does not have collectibles and and sidemissions - it's just actually a well simulated city.

This, of course means only the first two games. Not the third one.

>>386540545
absolutely yes but not the 3

Wow you fucks are laughable
You really dont have a clue about game development do you?
Nothing you showed here is technology at all, its simply devs that had extra time to refine their games and add extra behaviours, in fact the majority of these threads dont have technology at all, its just programmers doing their fucking job.

A true innovation in technology is something most of you arent going to notice until nvidia or some tech article starts talking about it.

>>386540853
I seriously hope this is supposed to be a joke of some sorts. I find it really hard to believe that people would be this dumb.

>>386540853

That's the meme you fucking newfag

>>386540734
The open world looked awesome but that's it. There was no reason to go anywhere and do anything not mission related. It would have been better served without the open world, because then it wouldn't have had the GTA comparison to damage it.

He means minimum stuff to actually do: few side missions, few challenges, few collectables, few minigames. You know: the kind of nigger map-markers-every-where kill-time activities that GTA forced as the only idea how to make open world games?

>>386540912
Theres no such meme and you know it

>>386540979
Then how come modern games cant seem to do it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvtA_-BLUzE not having to use the mouse is technology, right?

>>386540929
I mean there is very little interactivity or reactivity in the world. I understand that having the seasons change and the decades progress would have made such a thing unfeasible, but like I said here >>386540924
Why would you make an open world game about organized crime involving shooting and driving and then do LESS than GTA?

>>386540979
Basic scripts that modern devs won't add because they give 0 shits

>>386541096
>>386541162
Protip: The devs would fucking love to do it, but the publishers want them to rush games out faster. No fucking programmer or designer goes to start a project wanting to half-ass it.

>>386540979
>None of this half life shit is even remotely impressive
Wrong.

This amount of detail is exceptional especially at the time and something that is unrivaled in games today. The one that comes close with small details are the MGS series.

>>386541071
They haven't fix this shit yet ?

>>386540979

>>386541232

Not really. It is far more that the devs themselves don't give a fuck.

>>386541458
Of course they do, there needs to be a balance. Ideally the publisher gives enough time and resources for the developer to polish the game, the producers manage those resources efficiently, and the designers/programmers/artists deliver quality work. A failure in any of those places makes the game a lesser product, but if you know anything about the vidya industry you know that it's far more likely to be publishers meddling or forcing deadlines that makes a potentially great game into a dud.

>>386541336
Nobody is "memeing". Dev. teams on larger projects are MASSIVE these days, and individual employees have very little personal connection to their projects. Half of them will have no idea what the game looks like until it's released, and they often won't even bother playing it after. It's a pretty exhausting job working on larger game development projects and and teams are usually poorly interconnected. Being a programmer on anything above 30 people team is a factory job. It's just how it is. If there isn't an extremely strong creative lead, then the employees individual won't fucking care. And strong leads are rare today. Mostly because they tend to make hit-or-miss projects, and nobody can afford the misses today.

>>386541113
because the game isn't about shooting and CRAHUZY ANTICS like GTA.

its about the mundanity of the organized crime world. bootlegging beer and errands were at the most any crime member actually did. People rarely performed hits or carried out search and destroy because that would get you fucking arrested and ruined your family business. That's why gunfights are car chases were sparse and the highlights, and mundane tasks like collecting beer and dumping bodies were the standard missions.

The world wasn't even that big, it was closed off most of the time. what are you talking about?

I would change 2. to "yes, if you go into it as a linear game and not a GTA clone".

3 is probably the closest to a "John Wick simulator" game that I've played.

>>386541232
Games are rushed because of shit publishers. Game programmers constantly let publishers force them to rush games by signing contracts with too many stipulations and take projects knowing they won't finish in time because they want money more than they care about artistic integrity. It's greed. Who cares whose greed is worse, it's still fucking greed.

>>386541114
This game had a great VFX team behind it. Lots of cool shit. The bullets warping and making visible see-through holes in metal come to mind.

>>386541701
Dude I'm not complaining about the content of the missions or the story being grounded in reality, I actually really liked that. I was simply very disappointed that they bothered to waste time on an open world and then do nothing with it. It's the same problem MGSV has, it's got these moments of greatness surrounded by pointless travel.

>>386541678
By your definition early access games should be amazing since they have infinite money, time and playtesters. However they are all bellow mediocre overpriced trash. It just goes to show how little you know about videogames.

>>386541552
>You've never used a flashlight have you
Yes nigger I have...

That shit isn't technology because the light emitted from the flashlight just triggers a script that activates a light (same color of the surface being hit by the way) which is then emitted outwards to look like radiosity. its not real radiosity therefore not real technology

Otherwise why would the flashlight still retain its cone of light if its being diffusely reflected by the surface?

Please look up radiosity before you make another dumb arguement

Uncharted 4 is the epitome of autistic technology that does nothing for the gameplau

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUc_H3Abj-4

>>386540967
I think it was more to do with the flashlight have a momentum based physics as opposed to older games where it just snap follows the camera.

>>386539523
Hey was this SH game made by western developers by chance?

>>386542093
Wasted on a youtube game. Such a shame.

>>386539523
>>386541552
Radiosityfag is right, look at the edge of the flashlight, its a distinct circle with no extra light past the circle itself.

>>386539013
Does anyone have this?
>>386542279
I think that's last of us

>>386541232

If it's just basic scripts it shouldn't take them too long to put stuff like that in the game.

>>386542301
The gameplay is not on par with the technology but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a movie, the shooting gameplay and some of the platforming is quite nice.

>>386541232
But it's just a few basic scripts, anon, what's the big deal?

>>386542408

>>386542408
>>386542492
I'm not the basic scripts guy, I'm just some faget who has worked on enough small mobile games to know that when people on 4chan make assumptions about how difficult something is to develop they're usually underestimating by a factor of at least 1000.

>>386541867
>they bothered to waste time on an open world and then do nothing with it. It's the same problem MGSV has, it's got these moments of greatness surrounded by pointless travel.

both teams were plagued by poor Pre production. Kojimbo didn't care about TPP and didn't even write the script until early into production, when the team was fucking around in the engine.

2K Czech had a similar problem where they suffered a setback with their engine developer going under and having to re-do the game from scratch, they had the script from years ago, but it wasn't planned around any game mechanics, so its a battle between story and gameplay.

I still get immersed in the 50s-60s world due to the detail of the AI and visuals though

Uncharted 4 has 10x more tiny details

>>386542681
There was more going on in the background of Illusion Software (which is what they were called before 2K dissolved them for underpreforming of Mafia 2).
There was an on-going creative battle between Vávra and the foreign publishers that was taking a massive strain on the whole development. Even minor game design matters tended to explode into prolonged arguments and battles (Vávra spend, for an example, about month bitterly fighting with the executive production over whenever they can keep the "lose ammo in a reloaded clip" mechanic) and the more the animosity between him and the producers grew, the more unwilling the producers were to give them any further leeway. In the end, after the release of the game, most of the team was apparently under the impression that 2K wanted the game to fail just so they could put Vávra in his place - that is how escalated the mood got.

It was a pretty damn bitter development process for everyone involved.

Well, the team also reported that they were literally forced to work for 11 hours a day in filthy, moldy apartment and incredibly poorly treated.

>>386543602
11 hour days are fucking nothing in vidya development even in countries with human rights, let alone Eastern European shitholes.

Would you have preferred it if it had collectibles or more stores to pointlessly rob or something? I mean I would've liked a few more optional sidemissions involving car chases or racing but that's about it, the main story is lengthy enough and it's just not the type of game to go heavy on the unnecessary filler and clutter.
