I think I'll experience nostalgia, but not fear. But I'm so comfortable with that art set, that level geometry, the elements of all of our collective System Shock experiences that are identical like story beats. I love Rob Water's aesthetic, how it's shaping up in Unreal really demonstration that Water's is up there with Walter Matt Jefferies and Herman Zimmerman. Looking at some of the streams from NDS, I'm like I've seen this place, I know what's around the corner. The cyborg Midwife, that'll be with me until they put me in the ground.
But Rich Lucas argued "if you're experiencing warm nostalgia, then you're not experiencing terror." And alien isolation didn't scare me, jump scares to me don't count. So when I played Isolation it was great, I loved it, they nailed that 1979 in Shepperton Studios look. I love Alien, Ridley is one of my all time favourite directors, and I love the aesthetic of Alien. I wanted it to be scary, and there was a point Rich Lucas from RedLetterMedia said about the aesthetic of Alien Isolation. It's something I'm conflicted about with SSR, I like that backers are getting what they actually backed, but I'd be lying if I said the thing it was becoming before the project was reigned back under control was that wholly new place, with new ideas, without losing the sole of it. but it does strike me as something with major feature-creep, well most of the creeps actually. Yeah I use the devbuilds of the Arx Libertatis mod, I want to check out the insanity mod. But I plan on playing it and the Death of the Outsider I think it was called, when my hardware gets replaced. The enviromental storytelling and information are an essential element, codes in graffiti to a piece of set dressing like a diploma that just reinforces the verisimilitude of the experience.
#MEMORY MAKER PREY MOONCRASH FULL#
I've played some of Dishonored 2, long story short I lost a graphics card taking me down to 2gb of vram, and I'd rather experience Dishonored 2 in it's full glory. It's mostly really good, but not nearly as enjoyable as it should be, because of these faults, in my opinion. Regarding Prey 2017, as I've said, to me it's spoiled by some (to me, easily correctable) faults such as being too easy, the enemies being too predictable in their spawning and combat, there being far too few enemies in any given area of the game, the instantly-applied total fixing effects of the health/suit/trauma/etc fixes, the fact that the human NPCs in the game seem so lifeless and unconvincing. I've not yet tried either the new game engine, or the fan-made sequel, so I can't comment on them personally. It had a website, which is down now, but you can view it on the Way Back website at: There also is a fan-made sequel to the game, at:
It really is that good.Īnd regarding Arx Fatalis, there is a fan-made game engine at: for bug-fixes and engine improvements.
Melee, Portal 2, Spiderman 2, etc, as one of the greatest " Let's make the sequel as excellent as possible" sequels ever. To me, it's up there with Batman: Arkham City, Dynamite Dan 2 (a superb ZX Spectrum game), Bioshock 2, Uncharted 2, Halo 2, Super Smash Bros. The levels feel more alive, varied and inventive, the main characters are more memorable, the graphics and aura are less cartoony, the levels are larger, and there are much fewer areas in a level where you think " Why can't I enter that building at all? It would have been a good place for the game's makers to add an explorable interior." (though such buildings and dead ends do still exist in the game). Not only does it build upon what's so good about the original, but it goes a long way to fixing the flaws too, and to me it's much better than the original. NeilHoward17, have you played Dishonored 2? It's one of those very, very rare sequels that manages to get everything right.
