>What're ye playing?

I started playing Kuon. I haven't gotten very far, but it seems interesting at least.

>Resident Evil 2 Remake: Will the new camera system fuck over everything, and who needs tank controls anyway?

Well, m'lord, the tank controls are only as important as the fixed camera perspective. If the fixed camera perspective is gone, then so too shall the tank controls be removed.

>Well, m'lord, the tank controls are only as important as the fixed camera perspective. If the fixed camera perspective is gone, then so too shall the tank controls be removed.

But won't you miss them? Kind of like an old sore that never used to heal?

In all seriousness, I think limiting the player's control over his character (and be it just by lackluster game controls) can, to some extend, increase the tension a game delivers - simply because you frantically try to move your avatar but the latter is so slow to respond.

>>15010881

It works to make you feel tense but it doesn't make for good game design. Especially in the modern era with much more flowing cameras and fluid responses.

>>15010753

>And will it have a Battle Royale mode?

i hope so, nothing could scare me more than that.

The second biggest terror in gaming is knowing that there will never be another Eternal Darkness. The biggest is knowing it would be shit anyway.

>What are you afraid of?

Mental illness is one of my biggest fears. Specifically, I am afraid of developing schizophrenia and becoming victim to the insanity it brings. Not only would have to deal with the delusions and hallucinations, you'd also be helpless for the rest of your life. You'd never be able to live without a caretaker and the appropriate medication. You'd be a danger to yourself and others, if you ever somehow failed to take your meds.

>Resident Evil 2 Remake: Will the new camera system fuck over everything, and who needs tank controls anyway?

The shitty ass pitch black darkness everywhere will fuck it harder. Old RE might have had absurdities with the architecture, like a mansion sized police station, but at least the atmosphere was somewhat realistic.

Currently trying to get Deep Fear to work on the emulator

>>15011954

You have to use Alcohol 52% or 128% with SSF, it doesn't like image mounting.

>>15011937

he's just some cianigger shilling (((modern medicine)))

>>15011968

Almost had it to work, also remembered that this played like shit on my Saturn, will try your advice later.

>>15011937

isn't the guy a homeless bum at the moment due to some shit in his family or something?

>being afraid of your mental illness

>not just 1v1ing your delusions

>being afraid of being mad

"Along a dark path, trust the blind to lead the way. In times of madness, sometimes a mad-man knows the only answer."

>>15012292

that seems to be the only thing ive really heard about it

"good art"

>>15012345

It sets out to do one thing - a journey into a grotesque, oppressive hell. And it's that, so good for it.

To escape walking simulator status you get to avoid succubi who want to eat you rather than fuck you, and there are puzzles. But the stealth isn't satisfying, the enemy can get you in cheap as fuck ways, and there's a shit mechanic where you start going slow as molasses if you die too much. It would ironically have been better focusing on just puzzles and no enemies.

>Banned Memories

It's never coming out, is it? I still find this game amazing for the only fact that is made in Gamemaker, an engine that wasn't supposed to be used as an 3D engine in the first place.

Also, fuck agony, vid related is the true champion of walking-thru-a-fucked-place simulator

>>15012403

>vid related

what the fuck ever happened to this game? I was hyped as all hell for it and nothing seemed to come out of it

Resident Evil 2 is my favourite, so I guess I will give REmake 2 a try. The camera angle does worry me a little.

>>15012411

It's still being made, theoretically the first part will be released this year sometime. And yes, there'll be two parts, but as the devs stated:

>Yes, we are planning to release it in two parts, with the first part coming in 2018.

>These two parts represent everything that will ever be done. There will be no DLC, expansions or sequels. Ever

I like how they are being standfast about this, I think it's something rare these days.

>>15012424

I hope its good when it comes out, this fucking trailer is incredible, forgot about it almost completely

and the FPS horror genre is really fucking lacking, we get one game every decade and theres a 50/50 chance of it being complete shit

>>15012411

>being hyped for vidya before it's finished

The only acceptable time to be hyped for something is the time between it being released and you first playing it. Until it's released, it might as well not even fucking exist.

>>15012419

Did you like RE4? Would you like RE4 more with traditional T-Virus zombies and mutants, no action movie i-frame kick spam, and heavily limited ammo?

>>15012437

I know man but fuck I dont get too many games that fit into the niche that I like so much so it really makes me happy to even see it being developed, knowing the sorts of games that I've been most

>>15012440

I think it works better in SH but yeah, its nice in some games

>>15012451

Silent Hill camera isn't quite fixed though, it's an hybrid system of a camera you can control, but which does cut to forced angles when you enter certain zones. It's the best system but it does require some thorough direction. Not everyone is team silent, sadly.

Having you guys heard of Beware? It seems like an interesting concept. What I'm wondering is how they can make a full game out of it without things getting tedious and predictable. vid related.

>>15012844

I remember that thread being mostly about the video infringing on the traditional "drive around the interstate at night, spooky shit happens" edition. Truly unacceptable.

Seriously though, there's nothing groundbreaking about that idea, this just looks like some procedurally generated minigame without a whole lot of potential as is. Dead End Road was more elaborate than this, and the height of the spooky driving genre would pretty much just be a full 3D version of that with more content. Boom, done.

Just post the creepypasta screencaps, really. The appeal of that stuff is the evocation, a simulation would just work for an hour and then fizzle out.

>>15012972

If you like surreal imagery, absolutely. It doesn't offer much in the way of scares, but the camera tricks, perspective fuckery and art direction are great shit.

>>15012844

>heard about it

We had an idea that was weirdly similiar to the game's concept some few threads ago, the difference perhaps being that you could not only drive on regular roads but also across bumpy, poorly-maintained forest paths where wendigos and stuff would come to fuck your shit up.

>>15012972

It's okay, but it's 99% walking simulator. As a matter of fact, I'm fairly certain there's only one puzzle in the entire game, and nothing besides of falling down from a great height that can actually hurt you.

>>15013085

Isn't that Yahtzee's game? Yeah, I played the demo he's got in his website. It was interesting, but it could've used some work. I don't have anything insightful to say about it, I played it so long ago that I don't remember much about it. If you're interested, play the demo, it's still available.

http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/conshadow/

You can tell it was heavily influenced by Silent Hill.

>>15013085

>>15013149

Nevermind, apparently the demo is gone.

Well just finished it, game was really clunky as shit as I remembered it, like someone made an aborted clone of both Resident Evil and Parasite Eve, and I hate that goddamn monkey.

>>15016700

And what the fuck is it?

This hooktube shit is getting out of hand, now we don't even get a damn title and the address is obfuscated so it can't be traced back to the source.

>>15011456

Try playing Bloodlines as a Malkavian

>>15012292

Good body horror in that movie. Too bad the drama was weak as shit.

>>15010881

Honestly there is nothing really wrong with tank controls especially if you played alot of RE3 when they fully tightened those controls up to mastery where you can run around and dodge and have a shit load of control over jill.

You can also easily create tension with the new engine aswell you just have to limit leon's ability to decimate zombies. It appears as if when he's moving and aiming he's very 1. Vulnerable 2. Innacurate 3. Can't move fast at all

If he's very slow it might have more tension than a tank control game tbh because when you get really good with tank controls especially in RE3 you don't even have to fight like 90 percent of the enemies in the game you can just run right by them.

Tank Controls=Tension and True Survival horror

That's a fucking meme and the people who shit on "Moving and shooting durr running and gunning" obviously didn't see the footage or haven't played silent hill in their lives(a game where you move and shoot with 100 percent accuracy autoaim)

You can have this new camera and movement system be a legitimate survival horror experience as long as it's not cheese. Alot of the time the "limitations" on character movement are beneficial to survival horror because the difficulty in moving around gets you fucked but after you "master" the controls this is no longer an issue and the main thing that scares you is the unknown+being stuck with dogshit supplies

The real beauty in resident evil 3 is mastering all the movement systems and becoming extremely competent in combat tbh so I'm hoping REmake2 is alot like Resident Evil 3 as in "Very easy to just play but really hard to master"

>>15016976

Gotta make sure nobody gets a single view on their jewtube videos above anything else :^)

>>15011429

Knowing the inevitable, doing everything possible to stop it, only to confront that, in one way or another, you fucked up and you can't unfuck what you did.

Killer7 has a scene at the final boss fight where you encounter enemies that are literally invincible. Nothing you do can stop them. No matter how hard you try, bullets reflect off them and they kill each member of your team, save for one. That feeling of 'I'm doing what I'm supposed to, I'm trying to figure this out, what the fuck is going on!?' sets in a panic that leads straight to fear, that you are wasting your life resolving the unresolvable.

>>15016976

Right click, copy link location, replace hook with you.

>>15012433

>>15012411

>checked

longer vid showing more of the gameplay. It'a still a first person shooter with a keycard progression system, but because everything is weird as shit and it doesn't wait for you or explain much without you figuring it out, it becomes very haunting as you don't even know if you yourself even belong. Apparently one of the biggest mysteries is what YOU the player are.

Bump

I said bump, dammit.

>>15012844

if the guy who's stealing ideas from 8chong threads is reading this, here's some suggestions.

>let the player pick different cars from the beginning. nothing extreme. just a) fast but fragile, b) slower but takes more dmg, c) balanced. keep it simple.

>multiple music tracks, or make the one you use extremely good/iconic.

>give us multiple success states. kill the wendigos, escape from them, or some third option.

>random environmental effects that affect the driving conditions. should apply to both you and the wendigos.

>more than just driving. an option to shoot at them would be nice. maybe some kind of invisible super meter you can fill up for difficult situations.

>really solid car physics so if i'm good at driving in simulators, i can bring that skillset to this game.

Nothing to buy yet, playing and waiting.
