General Videogame Thread

Had a Doom fest the other night as I was updating my steam client and after around 2 hours felt sic as as a dog and full on nauseous. Simulator sickness doesn't normally effect me so maybe it was just the frenetic sped of the game and duration. Anyone else admit to getting this or am I just a lamer.
 
Hey guys, I don’t know if this is the good place to talk about this, let me know if I break any rules.
Im working for a big game company, and we're planning on making a new soccer game, but on mobile. Beyond the FIFA/PES debate, I was wondering what you guys think makes a football game great as a player but also as a football fan.

I don't think a good football game can be made on mobile but i'm happy to be wrong.

Master League (when it was just on Pro Evo) was one of my favourite things in any football game but of course FIFA took it to another level by introducing Ultimate Team.

I suppose most of it has already been done. We even have a mix of football and cars in Rocket League. Make a game where you can professionally foul, punch referees, etc....

PC and console is the way to go, but I understand the opportunity to make money on mobile is tempting

Found I am affected more as I get older. Particularly stuff like gears of war where they have the bouncy camera. So you are not alone.

Thanks for the info mate, I was aware but was just using it as an example that it’s the additional motion above the normal running motion that does it for me. More of a Battlefield fan myself which is a bit slower paced and don’t have any issues with that.

Having it on the right platform is a start. Mobile - don't waste your time. It'll be shit, despite your work, and even if it does well at release, it'll disappear into thin air in no time at all, to be replaced by the latest shit mobile game.

Sorry to be blunt but, that's the way it is.

In terms of gaps in the market, i've always felt a "be the ref" game mode would be cool. If you could ref a game on Fifa, with full control over decisions etc it'd be pretty fun, especially on multiplayer. Could expand on that to a Ref career mode etc to take it seriously.

Doom always affects me, it’s the bouncing motion, years ago I used to get it playing Turok on the N64

A lot of fps hammered at frenetic pace for me but know thy limits they say so I will quietly continue with leisurely rounds of Counterstrike. It's easy to see why with doom as it's game engine creates complex environments where first person perspectives change at the clik of a mouse generating dramatic perspective changes whilst we remain motionless .. Doom is special in so much as it totally embroils the end user sucking us deep within it's matrix and unfortunately it's very difficult indeed not to keep on coming back for more. It probably doesn't bode well for me and others afflicted with this malady with the arrival of the VR but if I limit myself to say an hour the effect isn't so bad. Or maybe even longer sessions but with regular breaks in-between:

Waiting for fifa 20 and had to purchase a PS4 to play it on.

Never played Fifa on a ps4 before so just picked up a cheap fifa 18 to have a go. i realise the gameplay will be different but you gottta start somewhere

Was thinking of getting Boarderlands 3. Lived the first 2 the the reviews for this are all over the place and lots of websites and reviewers haven't even received a review copy yet which is also a bad sign

Be careful reading reviews. A lot of the access media have attacked it, one bloke because he didn't like one of the jokes in it. The gun mechanics are supposed to be much improved. Some say it is not "innovative" enough but i think that is coming from people who simply have their own fantastical ideals for the game. It looks pretty decent to me.

You could always wait for a cracked copy so you can try before you buy maybe? No idea what multiplayer mode would be like if it has it but single player story mode should give you a reasonable feel i suppose.

Yeah the vibe I'm getting it's pretty much the same as the first 2 which is no bad thing as they are great games( especially multiplayer) so I'll probably get it.

Another thing what's putting me off is Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford.

Been reading a lot about him and he comes across as a massive prick. Do I really want to give my money to a tosser like him?
