    • RE: On the subject of 2017's Prey

      @phbz
      Oh, I don't really like Bioshock either, but of all the immersive sim games I've played, Prey has the most in common with that one. In terms of setting and premise it's much closer to System Shock to be sure, but the horror and storytelling elements of the SS games make them feel different. Bioshock is a horror game for about 20 minutes, and the scariest thing in Prey is a touch screen.

      Some similarities, though many lifted from SS2 by Bioshock:

      Intentionally misleading introduction with aerial travel, using a camera to research enemies introduced about a third of the way through the game, moral choices that don't really end up meaning anything, hacking turrets with an annoying minigame, powering up with injections, scampering enemies, clumsy gunplay, a radio guide with an ambiguous identity, a main character with a similar issue. But it might be more of a feeling thing, the FOV, the art direction, the gameplay. It's certainly more Bioshock than it is Arx Fatalis, grant me that.

      Prey has more interesting tools and a world better designed around a the implementation of these tools. You feel clever when you drop an apple and turn into it to get through a broken door or use a foam dart to hit a switch. It's a cool trick, but it feels less cool doing it for the 5th time and finding a keycard to the room a half hour later.

      Too derivative of Bioshock and the story doesn't pay off. It's not fun to play and I never believed in the world. I especially didn't like the trash collecting and recycling. Some of the level design was clever and I liked the gloo gun though.

    • RE: Would you give up all remakes and remasters for more new games?

      Absolutely. Creators and consumers are both super risk averse, it's one of the worst feedback loops in popular art.

    • RE: Videogame Hot takes

      @paulmci27 said in Videogame Hot takes:

      Symphony of the Night & Super Metroid although trailblazers & classic games don't hold a candle to modern Metroidvanias. Whether it be controls or level design they just can't compete, but that's okay. I would say the same for 95% of retro 8 & 16 hit platformers. Games are just better now & so they should be.

      This is funny because I don't think Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night are anywhere near as interesting as the earlier games in their respective series.
