Aujourd'hui Dantess et Guillaume reviennent sur un sommet de l'horreur des années 2010 avec SOMA du studio Frictionnal Games qui avait déjà bien bousculé le genre avec Amnesia : The Dark Descent.
Minnesförlust är ett av manusförfattarens vanligaste knep och speciellt användbart i spel, där vi som spelare tillåts lära oss spelmekanik och allt om världen vi befinner oss i tillsammans med huvudkaraktären.Men frågan är om tilltaget någonsin haft lika fasansfulla omständigheter som i Amnesia: The Dark Descent.Gäst: Tove Bengtsson

A Video Game Time Capsule: The Complete History of Video Games, presented by MRIXRT @reallycool
In 2011-2012, the gaming world was in flux. While iconic figures like Sonic celebrated milestones, the industry grappled with newfound freedoms and responsibilities, thanks to the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Entertainment Merchants Association. This decision affirmed video games as expressive art, prompting developers to venture into uncharted territories. Meanwhile, controversies swirled, from the PlayStation Network hack in retaliation to Sony's lawsuit against George 'Geohotz' Hotz, to EA's contentious "Project Ten Dollar" and the emergence of loot boxes. Amid this, Epic Games unveiled Fortnite, hinting at future trends. 2012 saw Sony's PlayStation Vita and Nintendo's Wii U launch, with both navigating murky waters. The Vita battled its identity amidst the mobile gaming surge and the cross-buy initiative's challenges, while the Wii U grappled with marketing missteps. Yet, as consoles stumbled, PC gaming surged, and esports, bolstered by Twitch's rise, began its mainstream march. This period encapsulated the industry's transformative journey, marked by innovation, challenges, and the reshaping of gaming's cultural footprint.Featured Games:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Zelda: Skyward Sword, Portal 2, Dark Souls, Beyond Good & Evil, Halo Reach, Mass Effect 3, Battle Toads, Max Payne 3, Journey, FTL: Faster Than Light, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, The Walking Dead, & Halo 4. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (00:00) - Episode 9 (00:06) - 2011 (27:22) - 2012 Thanks to our monthly supporters FS Tabreez Siddique Mynx Mopman43 Ritsu William Kage Studio Devil Dallay_g Razu John H The Golden Bolt MykonosFan ErbBetaPatched Vornak Killer Space Serra Mr. Lindsay Autocharth History With Kayleigh Benjamin Steele Nick Makris minimme

Oink, oink...31 december, år 1899. Vad är det som rör sig under Londons gator? Någonting i mörkret har vaknat till liv under natten till det nya århundradet... Men hur är musiken!?Patrik och Emil har lyssnat på soundtracket till den fristående uppföljaren till Amnesia: The Dark Descent, som i sig ärett spel som lade grunden till hur vi än idag upplever skräckgenren i spelmediet. Uppföljaren, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs möttes av minst sagt varierande kritik från både fans och kritiker. En aspekt Cultpodden vill lyfta fram som en enorm höjdpunkt dock är spelets soundtrack, så det är vad som står på avsnittets agenda idag.Mattias har ett litet uppehåll från podden, så vi hedras av en gästvärd i form av Patrik Brander; en tidigare podd- och film-kollega till både Emil och Mattias!
Jeg har faktisk ganske høy toleranse for horror, både i spill og film. Men det er et spill jeg måtte legge fra meg, og det er «Amnesia: The Dark Descent». I ukas episode snakker vi bl.a. om det fryktinngytende spillet, og fire andre i ukas Topp 5-liste over spill som tester toleransegrensene dine for skrekk. De har alle til felles at de har et innebygd «sanity meter» som er en mekanikk hvor hovedpersonens mentaltilstand blir negativt påvirket over tid, og […]
Ben and Tao think therefore they are, getting mindfully and consciously philosophical, in 2015’s subaquatic survival horror existential crisis cultivator, SOMA. The conversation gets as deep as the abyss, with topics covering euthanasia; the nature of human existence, consciousness and digital transcendence; different forms of horror - the horrifying and the horrendous; artificial intelligence, super intelligence, digital taps and the Paperclip Maximizer hypothetical; and the concept of the ‘Human Black Box’ to document the last seconds of people’s lives. Plus, Tao becomes the second person to diagnose Ben with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Tao is not a doctor. Caution: a crap ton of story spoilers from early in the pod. They are forecast in advance.Content Warning: PEGI 15. Swearing, sounds of screaming. Tao’s tap. The horror, the horror…Clarifications:SOMA was released on September 22, 2015. It’s a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent.The name SOMA is not an acronym, it originates from the Greek word σῶμα (soma) which refers to the body, specifically the body as distinct from the mind or the soul.Robert Nozick was an American philosopher.The Paperclip Maximizer is a thought experiment described by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom, author of the book Superintelligence.Audio extracts:Windows XP start up and shut down soundsUpgrade (2018) feat.

Nate, Jordan, Ryan, and Brock gather to discuss AMNESIA: THE DARK DESCENT, Frictional Games' adventure-horror game from 2010. We jaw about disempowerment in horror, physics objects in games, and whether invisible monsters are scarier or not as scary as visible monsters. Nate talks about the fragility of interactive horror, Ryan gushes about Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, and Brock holds many objects up to his webcam which cannot be communicated in an audio medium.
In Episode 17 of The Gamers with Glasses Show, we talk about flow, immersion, horror, power, dating sims, and more! What do we mean when we say we're “immersed” in games? Who gets to be immersed, or what makes it possible for some people to get into the flow, while others can't? What are the politics of flow and immersion? Why do we like horror games? Can we really get immersed in them? Do tabletop games really play well online? What does Diablo 2 teach us about masculinity and fantasies of power and control? We also talk about other games, including Mundaun, Dream Daddy, Amnesia: The Dark Descent!
"Redeem us both, Daniel. Descend into the darkness where Alexander waits, and murder him."Rounding out our first ever Spooktacular October is the seminal classic of survival horror - AMNESIA: THE DARK DESCENT!

Some podcasts mustn’t be forgotten. It’s Halloween season! Every year we put out our bowl of candy for all our podcast listeners, so thank you for joining us again this year and I’m glad to see so many of you are wearing costumes! For our first Halloween episode here on the main podcast, we’re going to be talking about Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the game that effectively resurrected horror games in terms of public perception. And the expected mechanics of the genre, honestly. Amnesia came out in 2010, and the Resident Evil 4 effect was in full swing, with very few survival horror games releasing and mostly not abiding by the methodical gameplay and anemic resources of genre games of the older generations. Amnesia, however, came from a team who had been making horror games for several years in which you were mostly helpless against those who sought to do you harm, and that ethos, as well as an expanded budget, are what really made this game take off. The game spikes that lack of agency in action with a narrative that by design forces both you and your player character to learn the specifics of your predicament as you go along and creates a cocktail that still manages to be scary even after a decade. We’re going to be talking about preserving fear over the course of the game’s runtime, mechanics by way of object physics and sanity meters, and we somehow fit in a mention for coconut crabs, for what it’s worth. So that’s Amnesia. I genuinely think this game holds up after so many years, but there have been a million iterations on this formula after this game exploded. Are there games that did it better, or does the original still hold true for you? Have you played the game’s sequel, or the newest entry that we didn’t mention because when we recorded this we didn’t realize it was a thing? Let us know over on our discord. Hope this game has you in a creepy mood (one that lasts for a couple weeks, anyway) because we have one more game planned for the season, and while it may fall outside of October, hopefully you’ll still come back for more next time, when we’re going to be talking about Luigi’s Mansion 3!

On today's show, Marc meanders for most of it, talking about more Attack the Backlog nonsense—including how their excited to revisit some Wii games—more Forza Horizon 4, and a wee bit of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, having now progressed further in it than ever before (spoilers: it's not very far).

OoooOOOOooOOooo~ It's almost Halloween! In honor of the scariest of holidays, we tackle Frictional Games' landmark horror title Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Developed by a small team that had previously created the Penumbra series, Amnesia: The Dark Descent released in 2010 arguably creating the biggest waves in the waning horror genre since the release of the original Resident Evil. It featured Daniel, an amnesiac who awakens in a gloomy castle with a note from his past self urging him to make his way to the heart of the castle complex while avoiding a malevolent entity bent on his destruction. It possessed no combat mechanics, instead purposefully disempowering players, encouraging them to run and hide from the various dangers throughout Castle Brennenburg.
