TheChineseRoom's own response to questioning on the category of Dear Esther. From their Steam forum Q&Acomparing de to cod and mario omg 2 deep 4 meQuote:Again, I'm not being difficult, but I just don't care. I mean, yeah, it They are right. Games are way more than just platforming and shooting now, but they're giving less than platforming and shooting. Nothing in Dear Esther, and I mean nothing, can compete with the shooting in Call of Duty 8 or the platforming in Super Mario World because there is nothing anywhere near any other game's level of complexity. Call of Duty 8, apart from bits and pieces of the multiplayer, is just bad trash, but even its singleplayer campaign hasn't yet devolved into something bad enough to rival the brainless HOLD-W fest in Dear Esther. There is no debate about the experimental, conceptual limits of gaming to be had about DE. Every idea that it "surpasses" (read: "retreats from") is something that has already solidified in games. Interaction is the staple behind everything good in a game. If your world is beautifully crafted, make it useful. If your story is fucking great, connect it to the player through gameplay. If you're trying to convey a certain emotion, don't just put it in the writing and hope the player feels sympathy; actually place him in situations that will make him feel that emotion. Numerous games have been on the forefronts of advancements these fields, including and especially Frictional's games. DE comes nowhere near that because it relies on conveying its world, story and emotional value in a completely uninteractive way, almost exactly like it would if it was a visual novel.

They are evolving too.

Is it really that much of an insult to you if these people wanted to try one game that is solely based on walking around their island and slowly taking in the story and environment details? It was an important aspect to them, that's how they wanted Dear Esther to play. Emphasis on Dear Esther, that's not how they want all games to play. They've already done more gameplay heavy experiments in the past, and obviously will be in the future. The point of his comparison wasn't to put those games down. He is just pointing out how broad of a category "Video Game" is and that Dear Esther is one, like it or not. RE: [www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion - bobbo - 02-26-2012 Hey, I came here after ages away from the forum when I heard there was going to be a new Amnesia. I hear it's going to be walking forward for only 4 hours while trying not to get frustrated by some horrible new game-play elements... Just kidding of course, great to hear there's going to be a sequel! Now please get along until there's some more info to discuss and not only assumptions.

Now please get along until there's some more info to discuss and not only assumptions.Hey, bobbo, my friend! Nice to see you! The game isn't going to be a sequel. It is just a new Amnesia game without any connections to TDD. So, Amnesia is not a series like Penumbra. Every Amnesia have it's own story. RE: [www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion - Hardarm - 02-26-2012 Guys, but Amnesia TDD and Amnesia AMFP are at the same universe. Universe means the same world. like Justine. Do you think that Penumbra is in the same universe of Amnesia? Just LOTS of years later? |
