Are Games Getting Boring?

**DWk** · 12-17-2003, 06:38 PM

ok... heres the deal... we are almost sick of WW2 games like MOH, BF1942, CoD, etc.....

the market of futuristic games is crawled up with star wars games.....

sports games is crawled up with really good simulators but just upgrades from the last release (mostly EA sports)

racing games are getting repetitive (except NFSU, which made a jump from its predecessors....)

and the rest of sci-fi games dont call much of our attention because they are just "kill this monster, kill that monster"...

the only ones that we dont get sick of are games like max payne...which is a twisted, mistery-suspense-action game...

but there arent much...

what do you guys think the next games should be like? i dont see much areas where developers can go to....so what you think they should do?

Physics are the future. I say if more action games have better physics, it makes all the better. Picture an advanced Max Payne 3. Using graphics of doom 3 or half-life 2, and you do some jumping onto a table and glass and shit knocks over...yata yata...you get the picture.

I'd kill for a game, fps, or third person, with damn good graphics and...

Picture one level is like this big office building...and the whole building is renderd, every floor! The graphics are amazing...detailed to death...you have a desert eagle and are taking out terrorists and shit...

Ahh hard to spit out what I'm thinking. I mean...I want more hours of gameplay in action games. Make level editing a bit easier(I hate making levels with unreal ed...)

If the game makes you feel there, its a good game. One thing I liked about Max Payne 2 was the detailed rooms. Like when you're in the upper east side building level thing...you go in all these rooms, they look soo beautiful. Or Vinnie's apartment...

I'm so damn sick of seeing games with metal corridors (halo, doom 3...others I can't think of...). I wan to see rooms...kitchen tables that fall apart...pictures on the walls, refridgerators that open up and have food in em...

I want walls to be actuall object. Say you're in a house in one mission, if guys in another room see you, and you run...I want them to be able to blow bullet holes through the walls behind you. I want a piece of the wall to be blown off...and I want to duck down below the part that is still there. I wan to be able to jump over a bar or counter...and hide behind it, while smart AI shoot through it, or plan a way to get me...

I want a game, that if you had infinite ammo, you could completely destroy the level. Tear walls up, destroy floors. I want physics, great graphics, immersive enviroments, and action! Sorry, I made this whole thing look like it was written by a ten year old(I'm not ten, I'm eight-teen). I just wanted to squeeze as much out as I can.

I can't tell you how much I hate playing games that have nothing but still objects. It makes you feel like you are walking around in...data...colision data or something....like each wall is an invincible line, with a texture applied to it! I hate the bullet holes, they are decals! I want to be able to shoot a circle in the wall...and if it gets too unstable, the roof colapses!

I know that seems a little much, but maybe it was 4 years ago. I think things like that aren't too much to ask for. I know they can be done. It is what brings a gamer back. If you go back into a game, just to destroy something differently, or set dead bodies up, and take a screenshot for a christmas card, then that's a good game!

yea but w/ a game like that, what type of gfx on the market today is gonna be good enough? or at least run it. most gfx card have trouble running halo, splinter cell and doom 3.

oh well, you could wait about 10 years and you'll see something like thtat

**DWk** · 12-17-2003, 07:14 PM

but thats why we are talking about this......the future....either 1 year or 10....

**CadeLaguana** · 12-17-2003, 07:52 PM

Yes. And besides, it would take a few years to make a game like that. Look at Morrowind, I heard that took like 4 years, half-life 2 has been in development for a few years. If a game like that takes a few years, good graphics cards would already be out. Hell I belive by the end of next year, or the begining of the one after that, there will probably already be a 512mb video card. Games still won't use much of that 512, but maybe they'll really up the core and memory speeds.

It's just that there isn't that many games today that really set new standards. The GTA series is good...but after smashing into walls and trees without them droping a leaf, it tends to get old fast. The next gta may still be on the old egine...yes new missions and cars...and enough gameplay to keep me playing another few months...but I want something big

.

Gonna go to the bro's for some LAN, be back later. Good idea for a topic DWK

Peace,
