What is that girl on the new HoT game site doing? - Page 2

In other words, it just looks plain silly

And I gave valid reasons as to why I feel it is. Don't take it personally.

(I really do think the picture conveys a lot of emotion. I wasn't being contrary... this time.

She seems to be gagging because she's disgusted with all the negative comments regarding traditional P&C AGs on AG forums.

Not that I know a lot about these things but that screenshot looks like it could be from a cut scene. It looks too nice to be an in-game scene.

Vic ->

Here are some screenshots from House of Tale's presence at the Games Convention with some additional artworks:

An impromptu yoga session??

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 07:43 AM

Yike... some of those poses are A-OK, a couple of duffers. I personally feel this one is much stronger as an image.

insane_cobra · 08-18-2005, 08:00 AM

Gee, thanks for posting that humongous image. 2.2 Mbps you say?

Stoofa · 08-18-2005, 08:02 AM

I kind of hate those images. I'm know I'm being ultra-snobby, but the poses seem amateurish to me, like teenagers in art class trying to draw a figure with emotion. The body design is rather dated as well. Why are the woman's jeans pointed at the cuffs? No one's jeans point at the cuffs, they at least could have taken the time to have touched up the image for the posters.

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 08:02 AM

I taunt you lesser mortals. Sorry about that.

What's the code for reducing to a preview?

insane_cobra · 08-18-2005, 08:13 AM

That's much better

I'm affraid you'll have to resize it yourself.

Ack. We agree on something.

But how come that chick and Vic are wearing the same shirt? Must have been a sale at the GAP.

I've seen, uh, sillier things in adventure games...

BerserkerTails · 08-18-2005, 08:51 AM

Man, HoT knows how to make someone want a game they know nothing about, hehe.

I'm just curious to see how this one turns out. I mean, they listened to what the fans had to say about Druids, and TMoS turned out much better. Now, if they listen to what the fans said about TMoS, imagine how good Overclocked is going to be!

samIamsad · 08-18-2005, 09:00 AM

Yeah, I'm curious to know what this title's narrative will be like.

"LOL" says I.

They're pointed at the cuffs as a deliberate style choice... I don't see the problem here? That would be a pretty hilarious technical error. Geez, you're reaching.

NEW POLL!!

They're

a) the same person at different angles and lighting
b) members of some sort of "team"
c) both shoppers at the Gap

squarejawhero · 08-18-2005, 09:42 AM

Anyone else figured out what Martin's about with this then? Think about it. All this definition rubbish, action in adventures, violence in videogames... I think the AG community might've inspired it.

*Jake* · 08-18-2005, 09:55 AM

I'm glad it's "about violence" ... especially if it's at least in many ways a relatively standard adventure game in its design. I mean, it has potential to be lame and "fake emotional" "fake dramatic" with lots of forced swearing and needless showing of blown-out skulls and stuff but on the other hand hopefully they'll be using the adventure game framework to tell a story that doesn't pull any punches, if you know what I mean.
