>Tripfag with a thought out opinion

Shameless self bump.

Really? Nobody at all?

I guess i'll go back to truth trolling.

When they can get over this it should finally be about the gameplay again.

No this is fine.
Continue.

I thought the maximum they could see was around 60 or so, but the main point i'm trying to make is eventually they will mirror human vision such as what that movie Avatar was attempting to do with the new CGI. I no doubt think that it will be all about the gameplay for a long time, and all those graphic studier types at the developers will start working on making it seem like you are in the game.

The only thing that worries me about constantly-improving graphics is that realism seems to edge out other art styles. I'm all for experiencing something as close to reality as possible, but I wish other, less graphics-dependent styles got the attention they deserve as well (for example, I still think Wind Waker is one of the nicest-looking games ever made, and I don't think better technology would make any meaningful improvement to it).

I personally think either one of two things are going to happen:

1: We're going to reach that "real-life" level of graphics, but then the issue is going to be how it is shown. It's no longer going to be about how it looks, but how you play it. It's going to start out simple, like a super-HD Wii, but then there's going to be a super race for who can make the most innovative way to immerse the player. I can see the end result being something like how the RIG worked in Dead Space, wherein the screen floated in front of you and you could tap it and it would react.

2: Developers are going to reach the "real-life" level of graphics, then run out of ideas. Then everything will revert to nintendo-esque catroony games in order to avoid being realistic.

>>46506832
It cant be helped.

>>46506920
Speaking of which, I would totally buy the shit out of a Dead Space-esque RIG suit. DEVELOPERS, TAKE NOTE.

>>46506920
>>46506889
I see your point, but with the large demographic of gamers which are "M Rated Real Graphics = Best Games" people, that perhaps this kind of style will be lost, or rarely seen past things like FF Art Styles, and nostalgia goggles make disappear.

>>46506921
Indeed.

I'm going to bump you because this is a perfect example of what /v/ should be.

As for my opinion, it's true, eventually realism will be reached.
But what then?
Do we degrade to other things?
Extravagant and wild art styles?

And what of virtual reality?
I shudder to think that the movies and tv shows may be correct with all the disaster scenarios where everyone is so absorbed with VR that R ceases to exists.

Larger online games will be part of the future. Mag is promising 256 player battles. I think we'll have a WW2 game where hundreds of thousands of players will participate in D-Day sized wars.

Barely any attention is being taken to this thread, but you're not being saged...

Is this a win or a lose?

>implying most tripfags dont think our their op-

ok wait

>implying some tripfags dont think about what they say some times

>>46507300
This seems to encompass some awesome ideas.
>>46507278
Indeed, but it's very correct in a way, because most people play games as sort of getting an experience of things they couldn't in reality. If it's almost exactly like reality, except something even more extravagant, how can they help but stay within?

Reported!

>>46507168
I really, REALLY hope this isn't the case in the future. I know it is now, but I hope some super-drastic shit happens in the game industry wherein everybody's opinion changes. We need more innovations like Wind Waker OR A KIRBY GAME FOR THE WII DAMMIT NINTENDO [i.e. its main selling point isn't BLOOM AN BROWN] to bring back gaming from the frat boy crypt.

Using konata as a avatar is overrated, so is the anime itself.
Sage.

>>46507384
I like Peanuts :3

Gimmicks will continue to take over the gaming industry as graphics are improved more and more. Each console seemed to bring some new gimmick this gen, which prompty died and is now being replaced with something new, minus Wii and DS.

Personally I don't really focus on graphics and I hate gimmicks so I hope game devs like Insomniac and Capcom continue to thrive and make games that focus on gameplay before all of that other nonsense.

>>46507476
Another strange thing with this brown and bloom style is it doesn't actually make the games realistic. The world is actually very colourful and should be shown in games as I see it.

>>46507278
>implying that everyone being in a VR wouldn't be awesome unless we were being used as batteries

>>46507460
>>46507306

oh well.....


but as for this thread yeah virtual reality would rock. but you know regardless of what disorders it may cause people would buy war and horror games because the generic faggots would consider it LOL TRAININ FOR DUH MAIRUUNNNES.

but thinking on it, playing WoW in virtual reality would be unlimited amounts of kickass.


also i thought you were lanced jack for a moment.

>>46507602
Ah, there's the rub.

>>46507724
Hey, I like the Witch King too!

This is easily the best thread on /v/ right now.

>>46507300
Large scale games sound like they could be what comes next in gaming, but a lot of work needs to be done until then. MAG doesn't even feel like you are up against an army with one of your own. Nor is it an interesting game in it's own right.

>>46507476
ah yes the brown an bloom games.

honestly i look out my window and see a myriad of beautiful colors whenever its not filled with fog, and even then the fog has its own calm blue gray coloring.

and when seeing videos from japan or china or germany the places may be overcast but everything isnt brown.

i dont even see where the fuckers got the idea that

real world = brown

Next next gen batman? I am the goddamn batman.

>>46507829
I think they're trying to encompass a shadowy or decayed world under the foothold of War, or in the future where most natural things are destroyed. I believe that even winter scenes shouldn't be so gray, when I look out the window upon the plains of snow, it's pretty, not threatening.

>>46507766
I agree. MAG had the potential to change the face of gaming but in general it's a flop.

I think more games are going to adopt the MMO style of games where the worlds are persistent, the player is a small part of a greater cause....stuff like that.

>>46507911

Wouldn't all Virtual Reality games be in first person? is it possible to do anything else?

>>46508036
Yeah, but I think people are already striving for first person gameplay.

>>46507829
They either live in the deserts or they have never looked anywhere except for the ground whenever they went outside. I like to think that if developers went to a botanical garden sometime their reality would be fucking shattered.

Coleco licensed Nintendo's Donkey Kong as the official pack-in cartridge for all ColecoVision consoles, and this version of the game was well received as a near-perfect arcade port, helping to boost the console's popularity. By Christmas of 1982, Coleco had sold more than 500,000 units,[3][4] in part on the strength of its bundled game.[5] The ColecoVision's main competitor was the arguably more advanced but less commercially successful Atari 5200.[6][7][8]
The ColecoVision was distributed by CBS Electronics outside of the United States, and was branded the CBS ColecoVision.
Sales quickly passed one million in early 1983,[9] before the video game crash of 1983. By the beginning of 1984, quarterly sales of the ColecoVision had dramatically decreased.[10]
Over the next 18 months, the Coleco company ramped down its video game division, ultimately withdrawing from the video game market by the end of the summer of 1985.[11][12] The ColecoVision was officially discontinued by October 1985.[13] Total sales of the ColecoVision are uncertain but were ultimately in excess of 2 million units, as sales had reached that number by the spring of 1984,[14] while the console continued to sell modestly up until its discontinuation the following year.[15]
In 1986, Bit Corporation produced a ColecoVision clone called the Dina, which was sold in the United States by Telegames as the Telegames Personal Arcade.

>>46508003
yeah i can understand decay but even then.

whats better

a generic brown bloom scene of death and destruction

or

a colorful scene filled with destruction and death

the colorful one has more impact showing that its a normally peaceful era now filled with blood and destruction rather then

OMG ITS BROWN AND YUCKY, IT MEANS THAT ITS ALWAYS LIKE THIS. MAN THIS MAKES ME WANNA JOIN THE MARINES AND SHOOT SAND NIGGERS FOR OUR NEW CORPORATE OVERLORDS KJFDGHLSFDGHKDFGKDFSHFK

Why do you constantly do this?

>>46508158
The main console unit consists of a 14x8x2 inch rectangular plastic case that houses the motherboard, with a cartridge slot on the right side and connectors for the external power supply and RF jack at the rear. The controllers connect into plugs in a recessed area on the top of the unit.
The design of the controllers is similar to that of Mattel's Intellivision—the controller is rectangular and consists of a numeric keypad and a set of side buttons. In place of the circular control disc below the keypad, the Coleco controller has a short, 1.5-inch joystick. The keypad is designed to accept a thin plastic overlay that maps the keys for a particular game. Each ColecoVision console shipped with two controllers.
All first-party cartridges and most third-party software titles feature a twelve-second pause before presenting the game select screen. This delay results from an intentional loop in the console's BIOS to enable on-screen display of the ColecoVision brand. Companies like Parker Brothers, Activision, and Micro Fun bypassed this loop, which necessitated embedding portions of the BIOS outside the delay loop, further reducing storage available to actual game programming.

I don't get it, are the people spamming wikipedia articles just those Anonymous that think Tripcode = Faggot?

>>46508116
Playing high speed racing games like burnout of wipeout in first person sounds pretty incredible. What about JRPG's though? play as the main character? I'm not really sure.

>>46508010

An MMO also sounds like another option, but with added technology this'll lead right into the whole VR situation.
The scary parts of VR are already happening/have happened to people.

On another note, how do I make an archive request for a thread? This needs to be posted as a future example to try to cure /v/.

They said the same thing before this generation.

rom its introduction, Coleco had touted a hardware add-on called the Expansion Module #1 which made the ColecoVision compatible with the industry-leading Atari 2600. Functionally, this gave the ColecoVision the largest software library of any console of its day. The expansion module prompted legal action from Atari, but Atari was unable to stop sales of the module because the 2600 could be reproduced with standard parts. Coleco was also able to design and market the Gemini game system which was an exact clone of the 2600, but with combined joystick/paddle controllers.
Expansion Module #2 is a driving controller expansion that consists of a steering wheel, gas pedal and the pack-in game Turbo. The driving controller is also compatible with the games Destructor and Dukes Of Hazzard.
Expansion Module #3, the final hardware expansion module, was released in the summer of 1983. Module #3 converts the ColecoVision into a full-fledged computer known as the Coleco Adam, complete with keyboard and digital data pack (DDP) cassette drives. Module #3 was originally conceived to be the ColecoVision Super Game Module using game wafers as the storage medium. Although Coleco presented a mock-up of the SGM at the 1983 New York Toy Show, that product was never manufactured. There were also rumors that Expansion Module #3 was to have incorporated an RCA CED player to store larger amounts of data.
Coleco prototyped a fourth expansion module intended to provide compatibility with Mattel's Intellivision, but this was never released.
Two controller expansions were also available. First was the Roller Controller, a trackball packaged with a port of the arcade game Slither, a Centipede clone and meant to be used with some dedicated games like Victory or to enhance the gameplay of previously published cartridges which benefitted from its trackball system (like Wargames).

I find that a world that's bright coupled with horror usually turns into an insane game, or loses some sense of being serious in a gamer's mind.
