Despite graphics aging I still think both games have kept their atmosphere and appeal. But I thought we agreed to disagree!

So it's ultimately about personal preferences, right? Graphically the only serious complaint I have about TLJ is the embarrassingly horrible 3D character excecution. It was always agonizing having to watch a severely jagged and grossly under-detailed April Ryan (and the others) move on top of highly detailed 2D screens. Still, the characterizations and the epic story, music, sound design, and other elements combined were more than enough to make up for it.

However, I will not forgive Tornquist and his team for the shit job in the character graphics, surely the fact that they lavished so much attention on everything else should've meant they do the same here.

Purely personal preferences, sorry my writings latley havent been coming off as clear as they should be. BTW Intrepid, check your PM's.

Yea, the character models sucked :-(

Nice interview. She is very aware about her own talents and about the game market.

except someone needs to buy the rights to GK

Intrepid Homoludens · 03-05-2007, 08:06 PM

No shayt. I'm still entertaining a little fantasy of a multiplatform GK4 using the HL2 Source engine (or Unreal 3), with real time physics and A.I. exploited for some of the puzzle challenges, real time facial expressions, and a souped up S.I.D.N.E.Y. to actually go online while in-game.

Owskie · 03-05-2007, 08:25 PM

Innnteresting Intrepid, while i would prefer a hand drawn GK, the way source could be used for puzzles would surely be interesting.

Intrepid Homoludens · 03-05-2007, 08:30 PM

Imagine intellectual challenges using A.I.

Owskie · 03-05-2007, 08:33 PM

There is actually a game I want to make thats an adventure game based of the source engine. Will never get made though :-(
