Watching it now. Pretty damn impressive...

[Christian Knudsen]

Hmm. As impressive at it is, I couldn't help but think "oh, right, it's another FPS" the moment the action began. All that impressive backstory and scenery, and it's still just about shooting guys. Still looking forward to it, though!

Nice link.

Is that sarcastic or could you really not figure out the link to gametrailers.com?

EDIT: Oh, you deleted your post.

I wait to see how they handle the script and writing with the companion ai

[BattleBeard]

So, next year, how about we come out with this list of games?

Call of Duty: Black Warfare (The new series of CoD)
Guns (It's about Guns)
Gears of War Ultimate (It's a remake of the first one with one new gun, double the price!)
Call of Duty: Black Warfare -SPECIAL EDITION- (It has a new logo)
Generic Shooter 2012
Also Generic Shooter 2012
some indie platformer that took 20 years to make, a one man team made it, nobody will buy it
Indie Shooting Game (EVERYONE WILL BUY THIS)
Call of Duty: Black Warfare 1.1 (It fixes a bug)
Dall of Cuty: Not a Copy of Call of Duty (ORIGINAL GAME IDEA DO NOT STEAL)

And last but not least...

The best game that'll be released...

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Z (NOW WITH TWO MORE GUNS, ANOTHER MAP, AND JAPANESE VOICES)

Bioshock infinite is the right way to do it for me : P

Holy shit that looked awesome.

I'm sorry but if a game takes 20 years and is indie, it doesn't make it good.

As for the topic, I'm looking forward to the game

Anyone else think that chick looks very anime?  She has very simple hair, she's colored very brightly, huge eyes, and gigantic goddamn tits.  I also feel like she's the product of a focus group that was designed to find how to create a female character that the player would be attached to.  She just oozes Disney and anime.

Also, everything is a scripted event.  EVERYTHING.  I've noticed that they often put you in situations where it seems like you're about to fight a big group of enemies, they all disperse or are taken out by some contrivance.  It seems like everything we've seen is the MC moving from Half Life 2 talking to fighting one guy at a time.  

In the end, I really wish this wasn't a video game.  It has a lot of really interesting ideas and set pieces, but it just looks like a really, really shitty game.  It looks like they took everything that people didn't like about Bioshock and made THAT into a game.

I hope it is good

I expect it will not be

It will likely still be worth playing for the atmosphere and style.

I'll buy it for under ten dollars a year after release like every Bioshock game.  I'll play it once and think that it was a pretty good movie and a pretty shitty game.  I'll argue with some idiot about the philosophic implications the game brings up or some such nonsense.  I'll sneer when someone on Kotaku asks if this game is racist.

Anime don't have big eyes monopoly, it's a common illustrative tactics to emphasis emotion and psychology, it's more like american style really, just look at pixar, or look here where multiple female artist contribute: http://drawthisdress.tumblr.com/ it's closer to that than anime seriously.




Regarding color they came directly to emphasis the thematics and relate to that:




It's call art direction ie making a statement (using propaganda poster tropes and color). Equating anything with "bright" color to anime is a bit silly.

It also happen that most art in history where not about brown as realism (only when time worn things up), heck reality itself have bright color everywhere unless you live under a rock!




I hope gamer will wake up their head out of their ass for graphism some days...

Yeah. I was pretty surprised when she popped up.

Honestly though, this is just a stupid over-the-top in-engine cinematic pretty much, I feel sorry for whoever had to make it. The only thing that really interested me at all was the gargoyle thing at the end and the pretty shotgun.

Gimmy you seem off your mark today. Nobody mentioned color scheme at all?

That player character (whoever he is) sure has really tough arms. The forces sustained from those falls must be enormous.

Her look disturbs me in a way no anime has managed to, it's that creepy. I think it just stands out uncannily from the other people in the game.

Also, the lighting is driving me nuts. It just glows so much it's ridiculous, and it ends up being even more jarring than Elizabeth. My first reaction upon seeing the first screenshots of Bioshock Infinite was "zomg so much bloom" and that still holds true for me.

I liked Bioshock (despite never finishing it due to my obsession with killing every splicer with only pistol headshots while the game wouldn't let me adjust my sensitivity nearly as low as I wanted it), but this hasn't interested me nearly as much. The gameplay looks mildly interesting, but if the released footage is representative of the game as a whole it's so heavily scripted you really don't have to (or get to) do that much on your own. I'm not a fan of player characters that talk without you actually choosing to talk, either.

Maybe I'm overreacting too

[AshfordPride]

Anime don't have big eyes monopoly,

They are cornering the market on moe, and Elizabeth seems to be trying her hardest to be pretty moe.  I feel that every line she has to stifle an 'onii-chan'.  This is just so far flung from Bioshock, I could never imagine seeing something like Elizabeth in a Bioshock game.

Okay, let me put this in a completely unobjectionable way instead.  She's Alyx Vance.

[Gimym JIMBERT]

The market was already cornered by "bitch" in video games, so far elizabeth is the relative minority, and having abusing boyfriend relationship (songbird) is far from moe, it's more like a trope you will see in independent american comics. I think you watch too much anime :/

[AshfordPride]

and having abusing boyfriend relationship (songbird) is far from moe,

Protecting her from that is pretty moe.



Also, I'm currently trying to read everything that Doug TenNapel has written, so I think I'm pretty well versed on the relationship between guy with magical powers and girl with different magical powers in American comics.

And I fucking love hate anime.
