Minor News Thread Anonymous 08/23/2021 (Mon) 22:32:02 Id: 9cb4c9 No. 396559

Basically this is a thread for those minor news articles that are interesting but not necessary big enough to have their own thread. We will be taking the bigger stories from these threads and making them into their own threads, Anons are welcome to do the same. We will NOT be heavily enforcing these threads, so please keep that in mind. Basically things like game announcements, live stream events, new gaming hardware, etc. should have their own threads while shit like NEW GUILTY GEAR DLC 3 "SLAYER" or something like that should be posted in this thread. While we won't ban anyone for doing the former, we encourage anons to use their best judgement when posting news content.

The Iron Lung film adaptation releases January 30th. Genuinely curious about this, apparently the ending is different to the game's infamously terrible SPOOKFISH.jpg.

>>1994162 >>1994181 I don't care that much, but it is indeed interesting since it's a totally indie project.

>>1994162 Isn't this one of those discussion-bait games as an art form games? There was barely a plot, just spooky mysterious "lore" sprinkled like sand over random files How can you make a movie out of that >Markiplier nevermind

>>1995263 >one of those discussion-bait games as an art form games I'm curious as to what your definition of "games as an art form game" is. I get where you're coming from but there are far more games that rely more heavily (or solely) on presentation and have less gameplay than it did.

>>1995440 I was mostly being facetious, but I was referring to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_games_as_an_art_form It's like Oscar-bait movies but videogames

Just learned yesterday that Routine (the original 'Amnesia In Space') released. I remember seeing as one of the games in the very first acceptance wave of Steam Greenlight in 2012 and using the prosumer version of UE3. Apparently the publisher known as Raw Fury helped bankroll the developer and revived development in 2020, will need to look into how they were formed. Only now need to see the releases for Memory of a Broken Dimension and Radio The Universe, and then all the moderately conceptual/middlebrow SF indie games will be complete.

>>1995489 Do we have a distinction label between the oscar-bait games and the actually great games that excel in gameplay, story and presentation ? The first word that comes to mind is art.

<Star Citizen has now raised over $900 million >Pre-production of Star Citizen began all the way back in 2010, before the founding of Cloud Imperium Games in 2012 >In just 2025 alone, Star Citizen has managed to raise over $120 million, making it an astonishing year for Cloud Imperium Games >While Star Citizen is an MMO sci-fi game, Squadron 42 is its single-player counterpart, which the studio supposedly believes may launch in 2026 >If Star Citizen surpasses $1 billion in crowdfunding, which it is expected to do in the next 12 months if it continues on the same trend, it willbe a part of an elite club. For reference, the next most expensive game developed and released so far is Grand Theft Auto 5, which cost approximately $265 million in total. However, reports now suggest that the next installment in the series has already cost more than $1 billion. If true, Grand Theft Auto 6 and Star Citizen would be the only two games in existence with such monumental budgets https://archive.is/dpafw

>>2004590 Not to put words in his mouth but I suppose maybe over produced interactive movies, like LoU, distract from the concept of them being an art medium within themselves and come off as aping other mediums; where say something like Disco Elysium, where all the elements including game mechanics are tightly woven into the overall experience, makes it stand as a genre of art all its own. I should caviat this by saying I know next to nothing about art, art history or the philosophy of art.

>>2007556 Dialogue options and skill checks in dialogue aren't gameplay. Gameplay involves some form of interactivity.
