entrerix Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I wonder if we're going to reach the visual peak of violence in games any time soon. Personally I find the throat cutting scene disgusting. How juvenile do people have to be to find that appealing? the animations from fallout 1 are WAY more violent than anything in that trailer, and fallout 1 wasn't even approaching "too violent" for my tastes. the bottle killing scene in Pan's Labyrinth was maybe getting closer to the line of "too violent", but i haven't seen anything in a video game that i thought was sickeningly violent. the airport scene in COD MW 2 was a little disturbing, not in the violence of it per se, but more that the developers thought including it was a great idea. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Drowsy Emperor Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Fallout 1's animations are quite obviously a joke that didn't strive for realism - because you know, guns don't actually blow people up. This trailer features an in your face portrayal of the main character slitting someone's throat done so for the sole reason of making the player feel powerful, innocent people burning to death (this is what that looks like in real life ) and rats eating corpses solely for shock value. Its porn for teenagers. That said, I do want to see a gameplay video before condemning the game totally. Edited April 17, 2012 by Drowsy Emperor И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Morgoth Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 If people think the Dishonored trailer was disgusting, they should maybe watch a Sniper Elite V2 X-Ray video. Rain makes everything better.

entrerix Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 pretty sure drowsy might be dead after seeing that, considering how he felt about that pg rated throat cutting from the dishonoured trailer... Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Malcador Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 That's shock value for you. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Majek Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 That throat cutting is pretty mild, don't see the why drowsy is complaining. 1 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Delfosse Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Dishonored trailer Another assassin's creed, but in a completely ridiculous, detached from all sci-fi and historical realities. A melting pot of completely random and unrelated ideas. Personally I find the throat cutting scene disgusting. How juvenile do people have to be to find that appealing? Why, you gotta be 12-17, their core audience of course. Yeah, I mean, a game from the creators of Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah. Also having the lead designer of Deus Ex 1 and the art director of Half Life 2 involved. All of them citing their passion for Thief ans such. I mean, DAY 1 PURCHASE!!!! They can cite as many passions as they want. Do you see any passion in Bethesda Publisher for good games lately? After 2005 (Call of Cthulhu) they pretty much sold out to the teens and pre-teens. They haven't made/published a decent game in 6 years. And they're not about to. It'd be unprofitable, and game industry is all about maximizing the profit with these guys. p.s. No game is bad enough for you not to buy it, isn't it? Edited April 17, 2012 by Delfosse
entrerix Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 its not even a trailer its just a short little movie thing with no gameplay Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Delfosse Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) If "short little movie things" weren't supposed to represent the general ideas like in this case the ridiculous world setting and the astounding level of scenario simplicity (go kill that guy, but don't prepare or anything, just go ahead and get caught as much as possible, etc), I wouldn't say anything. But they make them to actually do just that. Edited April 17, 2012 by Delfosse
entrerix Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 whenever i see short little movie things advertising games, they rarely represent what you'll find the gameplay to be like. anyone remember the dragon age or deus ex HR or star wars TOR movie advertisements? yeah soooo much gameplay within a pre-rendered cg trailer made by an outside company for the pr department of a game publishing house Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Delfosse Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I don't remember Dragon Age trailers, but Deus Ex 3 and SWTOR trailers represented pretty well the world and the general gameplay ideas. As does this trailer. You can hate it, but it does its job, gets the message across. That's why I preemptively consider this game ****ty and dumb. Edited April 17, 2012 by Delfosse
Morgoth Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Say Hi to the new Mr. Negative! Say Hi to Delfosse! Rain makes everything better.
Morgoth Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 p.s. No game is bad enough for you not to buy it, isn't it? Curiously, only those you keep mentioning. Rain makes everything better.
entrerix Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 so wait, are there any gameplay videos for dishonoured yet? what if its a turn based strategy game? will the outsourced cg advertisement be indicative of the gameplay? Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Morgoth Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 so wait, are there any gameplay videos for dishonoured yet? what if its a turn based strategy game? will the outsourced cg advertisement be indicative of the gameplay? Watch the developer interviews. They have explained the kind of game they're making to death. Marketing is just about to start now, so expect actual gameplay videos soon-ish (~E3 / Quakecon). Rain makes everything better.
Delfosse Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 what if its a turn based strategy game? Have you seen many POV trailers packed with action, where one man is clearly on a personal mission, and when the game turned out to be a turn based strategy? It's 101 of trailer making, you don't do these things. Same as you don't make action packed trailers for musical dramas in movies industry. Same as you don't advertise sugar with people talking about their type 2 diabetes. I could give a million examples...

greylord Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 REALLY, SERIOUSLY...YOU'RE CALLING THIS DLC???? http://www.gamespot.com/news/street-fighter-x-tekken-dev-disappointed-in-dlc-being-hacked-6372028 Street Fighter X Tekken dev 'disappointed' in DLC being hacked The kicker...the "DLC" wasn't actually downloadable...it was already on the disk. It just wasn't unlocked...hence why it could be hacked. Maybe companies should stop holding back content they've already made in their desires to make a quick buck. Then again, I think they bled me dry with Marvel vs. Capcom already.
Serrano Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 "I was really surprised at how skillful the hackers were" How many news stories about game X being leaked have there been over the past decade?
Aedelric Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 By definition it is not even DLC, Capcom should be ashamed with that blatant disregard for their consumers rights. I do not buy Capcom games, but if I did, this would convince me to take my money elsewhere.
