#VideoGame and #ADHD friends: Do you ever get so deep into a big game and go on so many side quests you constantly have a hard time remembering what's going on in the main story? I feel like I never know what's actually going on in a story lol. I do appreciate the occasional game that does story recaps
Le truc le plus bethesdesque dans le premier épisode de #Fallout c'est pas le design moche des super armures ou le fait que les scénaristes n'aient qu'une compréhension très vague des motivations des différentes factions, c'est le dilemme moral du Superviseur qui n'a strictement aucune conséquence. 1/3
j'ai regardé les 2 premiers épisodes. Je précise que je n'ai jamais joué à Fallout.
J'avoue que ce n'est pas super passionnant : c'est entre la caricature, le gore et on (j'ai) du mal à rester accroché. En plus l'histoire est découpée entre les histoires des différents protagonistes. Le fil principal est perdu.
...James Bond in Licence to Kill, but his likeness is used in the game, most notably the opening screens, thus making it Dalton's last appearance as Bond to date. 🍸
It was also the final Bond game to be released by Domark, who had released a series of Bond themed games beginning in 1985 with A View to a Kill. 🕵️

An exploration of #VideoGame performances, this book merges #MediaTheory with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.
So, there is this factually promotional short video of the game some turned-out security specialist has posted. I don't really wanna amplify, I'll just mention the concepts used.
In developing his #videogame, he employs Steam achievements... as a progress saving system. You've read this correctly. Imagine boasting about #DRM-based save "files". Can't save a blasting thing without an Internet connection! Just like many #AntiPiracy measures that rely on network, it hinders the #gaming experience, making up for flawed #UX.
Want to retract step back or two? Well, too bad - you reset everything. No Internet? You must be a speedrunner!
This week we finish off the PS2 Tenkaichi trilogy with my personal favourite of the bunch. It's a game I spent literally hundreds of hours playing as a teen, and perhaps the most detailed, granular Dragon Ball simulation ever - Budokai Tenkaichi 3!
...future Nintendo systems since the Nintendo DS. 🎮
What's your favorite controller❓
I really like the PS3 controller because it still delivers all the functionalities a controller nowadays should have without being to complex or special.
Assembled from developer interviews, "EVERYBODY SHAKE!" has just been catalogued❗️
This book follows @hengineer on his journey from creating shareware on the Apple Macintosh and attaining senior positions at #BioWare and #EA to the inception of #Spaceteam.
...by the limitations of the 8-bit NES, Nintendo chose to remake them for the 16-bit SNES. 🕹️
The developers based the updated designs on those from Super Mario World (1990) and strove to retain the feel of the original games. 👌

Released as a pre-order bonus for Japanese copies of #ShadowsOfTheDamned, PLAYBOX is a promotional mag containing a series of interviews with the dev team.
I now have more satisfying lighting.
Some interactible objects are lightmapped now, so it's not only about finding the objects with misfitting lighting, but finding them more logically.
...of Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country was released, which resulted in its computer-generated graphics becoming the norm for contemporary SNES games. 🤩
It was too late for the graphic designers to incorporate such a style into Yoshi's Island; instead, they pushed the hand-drawn style further as a way to "fight back". 🖍️

"Penny Larceny is warm. It overflows with love, empathy, and hope. It won me over right away with the genuine affection and trust Penny has for The Voice and Gibson, even when things go wrong; they’re such a perfect team! Same goes for all of the relationship interests; despite the fast progression, their friendships or romances with Penny all felt right, and their depth and character growth meant I soon grew to care for them, too.
Not that it’s all fluff and sugar; there’s plenty of adventure, too! There may not be any real challenge here, nor any wrong choices. But there were still several moments when I felt concerned about Penny’s fate, and even more when I was impressed at her badassery. And when she couldn’t solve something on her own … well, let’s just say that I got to do some badassery of my own, too!
Like all Fiction Factory games, Penny Larceny does not pretend it is not political. The world Penny moves through is full of unfairness, discrimination, and exploitation, clearly mirroring the issues present in this reality. However, the story never feels heavy or overwhelming, since all that truth is balanced with plenty of hope for the future and just as much excellent humour. Oh, and being able to steal from all the bad guys and make a positive difference helps, too!"
