Kojima is the greatest video game visionary of our time, and as the OP said he practically invented the cinematographic game back in 1998, while further realizing stealth mechanics that he created in the 80s! Literally 99 percent of triple AAA games coming out today emulate either his cinematographic storytelling or his approach to stealth. You can sit here and name 50 games that you think did it better after Metal Gear Solid (and you'd be wrong), but you can't name one before. That's the point. He is the originator, and everyone else is still playing catch up.
A lot of it has to do with most AAA games being handled with a factory approach, so they are all sort of equally beautifully generic. They are the product of many minds and they go through many checks and balances with various people having various views and influence over the end result. Kojima's games are the opposite he's the only true AAA auteur, he writes, directs, produces - you've seen the credits.
This results in Kojima's games being truly his vision, which is why you can't buy "Kojima Productions," because if you buy the studio and he leaves all you have is a multimillion dollar paperweight. Which is essentially what Konami's video game division has become by the way.

I think I'm going to be sick.
By Not Go To PostAre they saying Kojima invented games with neat camera angles?It's in a thread where there's some who dont even understand what cinematography even means.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostI will choose to believe the Kojima facts as facts.fake news winning

After a seasonal quiet period for new releases, the All Formats Chart finds itself with 4 new titles at the top. ‘Astral Chain’ debuts at No1 ahead of ‘Wreckfest’ at No2, ‘The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan’ at No3 and ‘Control’ at No4.
ooof, when your multi plat game is outsold by a weeb switch game. bye remedy
Whatever your opinion of Kohima might be, fact is he's an auteur, something this industry kills at first sight.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's missing the production pipeline of a publisher like Sony. All the ingredients are there already.
By DY_nasty Go To PostControl is missing something. Not sure what

Kind of makes me wish Sony would buy Remedy. Give them a AAA budget without the dumbass TV restrictions and watch 'em go to work.
By HottestVapes Go To PostFinished Thumper last night. Absolutely incredible, one of those games I could instantly replay. Considering going back through it for S ranks, but I might settle for just playing through NG+.Glad you had some legit headphones to play it on? :)
Genuinely consider it a must play game.
UK physical sales numbers are pretty much irrelevant at this point aren't they? You can get to number one selling fuck all.

By blackace Go To PostPretty sure all versions are launching the 6thI'd check again. It might be different in other regions but according to PSN, 2K, 2K's Twitter and OS, only the legendary edition is available Friday. All other versions launch the following Tuesday.
By DY_nasty Go To PostControl is missing something. Not sure whatMore than 1 cool power. You can throw shit and that's it.
By rvy Go To Postmight be a US only thingnvm im wrong. Might have been a self defense illusion that my brain created to prevent me from buying.
standard and legendary are released the same day over here.
By s y ngmi Go To Postnvm im wrong. Might have been a self defense illusion that my brain created to prevent me from buying.
loool
Is there no NBA 2K demo?
Because every year I feel the urge to get FIFA, and then I play the demo and that urge just disappears.

Because every year I feel the urge to get FIFA, and then I play the demo and that urge just disappears.
but it's only a tutorial/scrimmage and a myplayer builder where you can play 1 game and then import the character to the full game, limited to 6 builds
By s y ngmi Go To PostMore than 1 cool power. You can throw shit and that's it.You weren't lying about these animations either...
By Laboured Go To PostAye, Switch players are the kind of degenerates that actually still buy physical.Nintendo games are worth more than $5 two weeks after you buy them, so it makes sense to go physical if you want to sell.
Nintendo resale values stay legit
By data Go To PostData tried to warn yall not to trust RemedyIt's still a really good game, but with all they put into it I'm just like... they missed some of the easy stuff
There are a lot of good things about Control.
There's also this feeling that the control and shooting mechanics is last gen.
That and the animation just creates this weird uncanny valley for me because even it has some stellar graphics and art direction, making these faults even more jarring.

By Flutter Go To PostAstral Chain is worth it though. Such a fun game.Can a game truly be fun without Ray Tracing?
By Smokey Go To Post
By Facism Go To Postit's also ok to talk about its problems.Yeah I'm not saying the game is shit, it's fun.
Not a fan of the storytelling, but that's fine. The lore stuff is great.
Star Citizen is really the gift that keeps on going.
Apparently Chris Roberts is hard at work at coding the physics engine.

I feel like i just switched universes, has Gears of War 5 always been just "Gears 5"? Wtf?? That can't be true. How did i miss this?
This is my Berenstein Bears moment.

How did i miss this?Yes, it's been Gears 5 since the initial reveal. Their explanation is that it makes sense with them expanding the overall Gears of War universe with Gears Tactics and Gears Pop.
