GTA VI TRAILER 2 JUST DROPPED!!!!!
147 posts and 39 image replies omitted.

>>47698
A 2% drop is literally nothing, it will probably be back again in a few days

>>47310
Would be pretty hilarious if they have it be the revenge of "Niko, let's go bowling!" and your girlfriend kills you if you don't do enough couples activities lol

>>47697
it will be an extremely successful game and you know it, why even cope with this, people will pay the hefty premium for a game license and won't even care they need to wait 30 hours for the game to download with their shitty poverty internet

>>47705
What if the leaker does leak the PC version tho

>>47706
the guy is leaking gta vi facts on a drip-feed, so it looks more like hype building to me. it's kinda funny how his threat is literally "i will release more gameplay" like yeah dude please do NOT leak any more ads

>Only genres generally immune to this are engineering/puzzle and simulation games
Anyway post games that DON'T do this

< i want to play a video game
< but also i dont want to play any video games that offer any sort of reward beyond purely tracking progress nor anything that might be interpreted as extrinsic motivator
uygha maybe stop playing video games and do anything else, like actually get some friends to roleplay with

>>47687
>you're just bad at games.
As someone who loves challenges this got nothing to do with it.
>genres
This stuff is everywhere now, even stuff like city builders, factory builders, action-adventure, racing games, etc. As mentioned, engineering/puzzle/simulation games (can add visual novels too) are about the only ones mostly immune to this.
>>47691
>stop playing video games
This is what most video games aside from RPGs were like before the late 2000s
Adding skill trees everywhere in particular is something that started around the late 2000s/early 2010s

>Critique progression systems that invalidate key game mechanics and hide overall trivial gameplay (including bad AI and poor level design) and which is primarily added to non-RPG games because "numbers go up" has been proven to be addictive
<Hurr you suck at games
God damn…

>>47695
RPG fans are touchy as fuck about their skinnerboxes, all I play nowadays are shmups, fighting games and the 3 JRPGs that contain everything you complained about in the OP but in far lesser volume.

>>47694
>This is what most video games aside from RPGs were like before the late 2000s
brother do you realize how wide a net "Thinly veiled power fantasy treadmill" casts, past 95 when memory cards and battery saves where ubiquitous, most games outside of mascot platformers and puzzle games could be described more or less in those terms

A phenomenon I have witnessed

I don’t even have to explain how it weird for people like shartyfags to like a violently beautiful lady😍🥰ed out game like deltarune

Is this something that shartyfags just like to do? I’ve also seen it strangely with TADC as well, not that I care even a little for that shit

How ever so peculiar

Right wingers aren't known for their media literacy.

>>47658
It's because they were children when Undertale came out and have a lot of nostalgia for it, but they weren't paying attention to all the woke shit. When they got brainwashed by far-right brainrot, instead of rejecting their childhood they just use mental gymnastics to cope and pretend Toby Fox isn't woke and any woke elements are either misinterpreted or the result of a shadowy conspiracy of other developers on the team.

it's because everyone is baby and a smol bean so even fascists can buy into a very queer-coded game for toddlers

>>47692
>game for toddlers
Hey! When deltarune maybe finishes in 2033 and ends up being a solid 6/10, you'll regret saying that, buster!

People aren't ready for Shigesato Itoi being labelled a right-wing troll by Japanese leftists

a story that tied better to the black mesa incident, a much more darker atmosphere, iirc there was like a way bigger ravenholm section which has been bouncing around between remakes and episodes and idk if anyone's working on it atm, there was the whole Borealis section, a ton more weapons, you can see a lot of it on the 20th anniversary documentary but there were also a bunch of leaks around the time, concept art, scrapped content found around, alpha-beta footage from the Source 1.5 engine.

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

i just finished cod 5 and it was kinda better than i expected, i thought it would be like every other cod

>>47594
Parkour is useless you are never going to outrun an FPV drone.

Want to play or pre-order some new games but goddamn do these Chinese games all look the fucking same
It makes sense because they're target audience are people like Asmongold fans who don't know the first thing about making game

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

First time posting, just found this board, I'm making a coop shooter about shooting an occupying state yay.
Can anyone educate me on this board? I read the history but is it growing? should it be? Will normal people think I'm based or cringe for posting here?

>>47625
It's a tiny board. If you post good work in progress, it's not cringe, no matter where you post it. If you post shitty work in progress you can cancel the cringe simply by acknowledging the shitty state it is in.

>>47626
I mean my initial reaction, or rather, expectation would be it's a board where no one is a loser and everyone has girlfriends or whatever but if you think there is some cringe particle here I'd like to know more.
Today I worked on POM bullet holes

>>47625
board has been stagnant for a while but it should be growing because you can actually talk to sane people about politics here unlike basicaly anywhere else. plus we have some side boards like this one.

>>44989
voxels are largely an overhyped meme. they definitely have use cases, especially for stuff like what minecraft does, but replacing entity models with voxels is wildly non-performant

50/50

there are games where they fit and games where they don't and also objects that benefit from it and objects that don't

have you seen this?

What happened to call of duty, it kinda became opposite of what it used to be. The games feel completely bloated now and they completely lost that original, classic identity that made the older titles so good.

Lol, good thread op

4 was the last one I'd consider 'good', but they've functioned as US military propaganda since its inception as well as acting as a simulacra of the war films that influenced them like Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

>>47650
Saving Private Dicklicker came out and every military shooter for the next 10 years had to have a fucking Normandy Beach scene

>>47652
MoH Frontline was a decent military shooter at least, but I did notice that basically every military shooter felt like they needed a D-Day scene because of that movie.

I usually support workers but everyone working for 343 Industries or Microsoft needs to be shot immediately post-revolution without any trial or time wasting procedures. Microsoft for the abomination that they call the Windows operating system, and 343 for blowing through billions of dollars over 15 years making shitty games.

I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?

where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.

For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

Then there's DOOM, which has just had an insane amount of work done on it and with it since it was released. It's actually pretty amazing to see what people are capable of doing with it after so long.

Fanmade ocarina of time roguelike

>>44044
Been playing the LOD fan mod for pc called Severed Chains. It comes with lots of QOL improvements and makes it imo much more playable than classic.

>After 3 years of work, here's the "Metal Gear Solid Fan Remake" project to download! This remake is not intended to be a recreation of the entire game; rather, it is a tribute that includes a tutorial level, two levels from the original game, and all the boss fights from the original game.

>This project is intended for entertainement purpose only and is not endorsed by, or associated with Konami, or any of their affiliated companies. It is not for sale, distribution or online monetization. All characters and associated names and references are copyright and trademark of theur respective holders.

>This is my own vision, and I want to share this tribute with all Metal Gear Solid fans around the world. I hope you have as much fun playing it as I did creating it.

>This project will not be continued; it will remain a demo and will not become a full game.

it's worse because most of those games are also financial failures, so the effort is completely wasted. they see the insane RoI margins on fortnite and think they can just do their own fortnite. like technically they can but they also can't just manifest the paypigs from the ether. we can't have the financial flops that are also highly ambitious and niche concepts, unless it's from studios or auteurs that spent like a decade building goodwill and recognition with their audience.
