Let's Sperg Revolution 60: Game of the Year Contender

[That Chris Guy]

I'm not really surprised about the voice acting. One of them is Amanda Winn-Lee - previously the voice for Rei Ayanami in Evangelion, Rally Vincent in Gunsmith Cats, and a host of other anime-related shows and video games.

What I am surprised about is this game supposedly being designed in the Unreal engine, but looking uglier than ReBoot or Beast Wars.

You'd be amazed what you can accomplish with enough lack of effort and lack of talent.

I should have Parts 6 and 7 up tonight. Since the topic of "how serious is Revolution 60" has come up, I wanted to post the sample images for Brianna's $4 e-book that "explains" the rich and engrossing history of her game world.

Spoiler: She is as bad a writer as she is at everything else. It's dawned on me that she's basically the Stephanie Myers of video games - a talentless hack that latched on to something (in this case Girl Power instead of Romance), and butchered the better ideas she's stolen from superior works. The difference is that Myers has the wherewithal to not interact at all with her critics.

It looks like the 80's had sex with Deus Ex and its child had Downs Syndrome before Blade Runner took a shit on it.

So I'm supposed to be rooting for Fifth Column, right? Because the way this docco is set up, it reads like a propaganda piece, minus the competence. Or levity. All I know is, I'd rather be working for DESPERADO Enforcement LLC than Chessboard. Better healthplan, access to cybersurgery, and unmanned weapon support.

What part of having an AI run military organization where its soldiers swear loyalty to the AI rather the government seems like a good idea.? Or the fact it keeps talking about the protecting freedom and the world rather the government that runs it.That's just asking for a Skynet situation to happen. Did anyone else notice under where it says that the 5th column don't feel mercy it says they lie? Does that mean they do feel mercy?

 

[Red_Rager]

I get totalitarian vibes as well, very fitting. Anything for the Greater Good(tm)w. You know what the alternative is to negotitions and politics, you get totalitarianism like North Korea where an alternative point of view gets you sent to a camp. I think most people can agree that sometimes decisive action needs to be taken, but the point of contention is a matter of philosophy
What are our options?
Does the ends justify the means? Can we justify the means?
Is there a more ethical way to do this?
Does the cost of combating the issue cost more than taking the hit? Can we take the hit gracefully?

Say what you will about meetings and politics, but I'll take the political BS over total conformity. Chessboard raises too many alarm bells, and that mindset is what leads to certain agencies conducting enhanced interrogations and than lying to congress about scope and methods. But I suppose it is all for the Greater Good (tm)

Finally, someone else who appreciates the good ol' days after 9/11.

See, it could almost, maybe be a good story if it actually explored those kinds of themes and it turns out that Chessboard goes rogue and yadda yadda yadda, but I doubt that happens at all, and if it does, I assume it'll be handled in the most ham-fisted way possible.

Am I the only one that thought the eyes in the background belonged to that puppet from FNAF2 for a second?

Also, she needs to see a doctor.

So the enemies are basically the Chinese?

Not even Hollywood does that now...

She looks like she's Jojo posing but she has neither the anatomy nor style to pull it off.

 

[Smutley]

I'm not here to question Brianna's gamer cred because that's a really tacky thing to do. She apparently digs games and plays them a lot, primarily Bioware and David Cage games. There are some specific traits that I think she really enjoys - Character development and story over gameplay, morality systems, and the ability to change the narrative.

But I think her game is shaped more by the movies that she watches, because there are a lot of things that have been repurposed. This is a really short game, and the script for it can't be longer than 30 pages (and that is counting every bit of branching dialog), but I've already run into scenes lifted nearly wholesale from some movies.

• Resident Evil and the Only-Deadly-On-Occasion Lasers
• UltraViolet/Matrix and the Magical Motorcycles
• Matrix and the Plot via Dialog instead of Action Architect

Am I missing any?

To be fair, Hollywood does that so they can sell movies in China not because they've taken some kind of moral stance. There are instances of China being portrayed as enemies (or even just in a negative light) in movies all the time that just get edited out last minute. Can't blow up Beijing with a space laser, even if it's the bad guys doing it. Moscow is fine though.

But it's still cliché as fuck. You have a sci-fi setting but the baddies are the Chinese. Why not rogue super-soldiers, or militant neo-Luddites or some shit? Hell, ALIENS would be cool.

Why not Communist Cyber Chinese warlords IN SPACE

I've resisted the urge to post Warhammer images here to prevent the thread from going off track but... I.... just... can't...

Spoiler: god damn it... I'm sorry

Anyway it kind of makes the whole deep space thing redundant if all the fighting is still being done by old earth governments in earth's orbit. It kind of kills the whole space adventure thing.
