Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We cover lots of topics, delving into stealth and AI systems, objectives and their communication, and other thoughts. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Another mission Issues covered: whether it was designed for a controller, graphic fidelity holding up, the fixed function shading pipeline, the crossover between audio and visual meters, what's going on with the light meter, ambient noise affecting how quickly you can move, adjusting eyesight, layering mechanics into a mini-game, sprinklers everywhere, hose extraction, trip lasers, using a body as a laser avoider, a key that isn't a key, interrogation mechanics, consequences for not interrogating, multiple paths to information, forgetting the vision modes, the marketing targets for particular consoles, dynamic mission objectives, motivating spaces through pattern language, having to mark up the world to tell you what's important, a digression into climbing anywhere, "what map?," not wasting space, clockwork levels, a globetrotting set of ops vs single-location games, Brett has a good point, contrasting flavors, just jumping in and having the briefings paper over travel, the attract mode, benefitting pacing. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: XBOX, Pulp Fiction (obliquely), PlayStation 3, Clint Hocking, NOLF 2, Max Payne, Metal Gear (series), Three Men and a Baby, Poltergeist, Eternal Darkness, Mission: Impossible (series), Entrapment, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dishonored, Prey, Hitman, Die Hard, Assassin's Creed, Crazy Climber, Cairn, Jusant, Hideo Kojima, Reacher (series), The Gray Man (series), The Hunt for Red October, Quiller (series), Shadowlord-72, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia. Next time: More TCSCCT! Errata: Apparently there were in fact multiple shader units on the original Xbox, and supported Pixel/Vertex 1.1 shaders. We regret the error. (Fixed function was still a thing, though, I'm just not remembering the details correctly.) Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com 

W dzisiejszym odcinku głównym tematem jest Lego Batman: Dziedzictwo mrocznego rycerza – najnowsza produkcja studia TT Games, która wywraca do góry nogami dotychczasową formułę klockowych gier. Analizujemy, jak twórcom udało się przenieść mroczny i deszczowy klimat prosto z serii Batman: Arkham od Rocksteady do świata LEGO oraz czy kompaktowe, otwarte Gotham z batmobilem, motocyklami i środowiskowymi zagadkami Człowieka Zagadki to najlepsza adaptacja przygód Gacka ostatnich lat. Rozmawiamy o świetnym polskim dubbingu, wyważonym humorze przypominającym kultowego Shreka oraz o tym, dlaczego ta odsłona zachwyci nawet tych, którzy dotychczas odbijali się od gier z logiem LEGO.W programie dzielimy się również pierwszymi wrażeniami z Yoshi and the Mysterious Book na „Switcha 2”, sprawdzając, jak Nintendo po raz kolejny rewolucjonizuje gatunek platformówek za pomocą interaktywnej, logicznej książki. Na deser wracamy na japońskie drogi w Forza Horizon 6.Czasówka:[00:08] – Intro audycji.[00:52] – Powitanie, przedstawienie składu i zarysowanie tematów odcinka.[04:37] – Zapowiedź czerwcowych pokazów: Co zaprezentują Microsoft (Xbox Game Showcase, Gears of War E-Day Direct) oraz Sony (PlayStation State of Play)? Rozważania o grach Fable, Wolverine i kondycji PS VR2.[21:11] – Nintendo Switch i zapowiedzi: Przegląd nadchodzących premier na japońską konsolę (m.in. The Duskbloods od FromSoftware, nowy Fire Emblem czy Splatoon), a także wspomnienie o darmowym okresie próbnym dla gry Ball X Speed.[26:09] – Ubisoft i inne plotki: Spekulacje na temat nowego, bardziej taktycznego Ghost Recon (inspirowanego Ready or Not), Far Cry oraz remake'u Splinter Cell. Rozmowa o nowej postaci w Tekken 8 (Yujiro Hanma z anime Baki).[29:31] – Pierwsze wrażenia: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book: Analiza nietypowej, przypominającej grę logiczną mechaniki opartej na wchodzeniu do interaktywnej książki.[34:33] – Główny temat: Lego Batman: Dziedzictwo mrocznego rycerza: Omówienie polskiego dubbingu, świetnej konstrukcji Gotham wzorowanej na serii Arkham od Rocksteady, systemu walki i tego, dlaczego to najlepsza gra Lego, w jaką grali.[42:56] – Ogłoszenia parafialne: Gratulacje ślubne dla Mateusza Fiduta oraz zapowiedź kolejnego odcinka GnM Plus prowadzonego solo.[43:40] – Plany Embracer Group: Informacje o grach studia Warhorse (Kingdom Come) tworzących RPG w świecie Władcy Pierścieni oraz potencjalnym odświeżeniu marek takich jak Deus Ex czy Saints Row.[45:48] – Dalsze wrażenia z Forza Horizon 6: Zachwyty nad jazdą klasycznymi samochodami, systemem społecznościowym i muzyką, ale także krytyka oszukującego poziomu trudności (AI) oraz zbyt szerokich tras górskich typu touge.[54:27] – Szybkie newsy na koniec: Sukces sprzedażowy gry Paralives (konkurenta The Sims) oraz plany Take-Two Interactive odnośnie wydania 22 tytułów (w tym remake'ów Max Payne 1 & 2 i portów). Wspomnienie o modowaniu klasycznego NFS: Underground.[58:01] – Podsumowanie, pożegnanie i outro.

In 2005, Remedy Entertainment walked onto the E3 show floor with a stunning technology demonstration and one of the most ambitious pitches in gaming: an open world psychological thriller set in a hauntingly beautiful corner of the Pacific Northwest, built around a horror writer whose nightmares had come to life. What they didn't have was a game. This week, David and Rob trace the full story of Alan Wake, from the year of concepting that followed Max Payne 2, through the open world experiment that nearly broke the studio, to the two month Sauna Group intervention that rebuilt everything from the inside out, and the May 2010 release that landed in the same week as Red Dead Redemption. It is a story about a small Finnish studio that bet the farm on a game they hadn't figured out yet, found its heart in a moment of crisis, and built something that refused to be forgotten, on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Johnny Knoxville dawns his best a-hole inspired leopard print vest to go toe-to-toe with every deli owner from Brooklyn with hopes to jump across bloody vein/brains and shoot his own mother in the face. Does this game deserve it's flowers, or does it belong in the same category as "Froggy-Style"?I promise if you listen to this episode that entire description will make complete sense.The Beard Struggle Link!

Dags att utse årets bästa spel – retroaktivt.Upplägget är som vanligt:Vi börjar med att lyfta årets bubblare, fortsätter med våra personliga topp 10-listor och avslutar med det tuffaste momentet av alla – att enas om en gemensam topp 5.

Dans cet épisode, nous revenons aux origines de Remedy avec un focus sur le premier Max Payne. Un jeu d'action très innovant à l'époque, autant sur le plan technique que ludique, notamment grâce au fameux bullet time. Et puis, c'est aussi un bouillon de références cinématographiques, entre le néo-noir et film d'action hong-kongais.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameRejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkNSi vous réalisez un achat sur Top Achat, vous pouvez entrer le code créateur FINDUGAME pour soutenir l'émission.

Täna räägib Rein pikemalt enda uuest mängust, mis eelmisel nädalal  pärast nelja arendusaastat välja tuli. Mis tunne siis on? Ja mis tunne on selle uue DLSSiga, mille kohta head sõna pole vist keegi öelnud. Peale selle räägime uudistes veel Sony uuest strateegiast, Counter-Strike 2 värskest laadimismehaanikast ja Nintendo Switch 2 ja PlayStation Portali uuendustest. Kõik oleme nüüd Resident Evil Requiemi läbi teinud, Rein on mänginud ka Max Payne 2 ja Zero Paradesi demo. Soovituseks on noclipi kummalised mängud Steamis.

Fortunately the stuff that was awesome is still awesome. Unfortunately the nightmare segments are still shit too, though.If you haven't played Max Payne, you play as this bitter undercover cop who saw his family killed by drug junkies and he's had enough and started going scorched earth on everyone that moves. You basically go from room to room killing people and every now and then it gets interrupted by gritty comic book panels. Add int he ability to slow time Matrix style and you got yourself a classic.The bitterest man I know, my buddy Tyler, is my guest this week and we did the thing where we sit down and talk about games and does anyone even read these???And before we slow things down, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks what 5 games I think I've spent the most time playing in my life?

Räägime täna Google Genie 3-st, mis raputas videomängutööstust... näiliselt. Täna alustab ka Max Payne'i retroklubi, kus 2001. aasta klassiku läbi mängime. Uudistes peatume pikemalt Nintendo üritusel, aga ka edasilükatud Steami masinatel ja Overwatchil, mis ongi nüüd lihtsalt Overwatch. Rein on mänginud lisaks kahte värskemat, aga palju tähelepanu saanud mängu: Peak ja Megabonk. Rainer on proovinud TMNT: Splintered Fate'i ja Dogpilesi.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 2001's Pikmin. We set the game in its time and then spend a lot of time talking about putting Nintendo's spin on the RTS on a console. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first few days Issues covered: a well-trod year, some MMO history, the GameCube at LucasArts, playing PC vs console, playing PC RTSes of the time, history with Pikmin, keeping an eye on Nintendo making and entering genre spaces, making a thing on controller first rather than jamming in a KBM game, Tim talks about his favorite controller again, inspirations, being embodied in the world vs the god's-eye view, the simplicity of the ship pieces and setup, Nintendo's open world game, meteors vs meteoroids, the puzzle RTS, making the environment more of the enemy than the creatures, lightly building an army, trading pikmin for time vs the heavy pieces, task-based challenges, spreading your army but limitations due to movement and level design, the Forest's Navel, moving to avatar-based RTSes and MOBAs, wanting to play the prototypes, forks in strategy games this year, the simplicity of verbs due to Olimar's centrality, limiting your verbs due to the controller, the cognitive overload of the PC RTS, diversions into Valve, where we're playing, letting go of accuracy and min/maxing, chunky buttons.

Worum geht's: Im Format Ausgefragt! beantworten die Podcaster Fabian, Chris und Gunnar (plus Rahel und Henner) Fragen der Hörer. Die sind in der Regel so ausgewählt, dass die Antworten nicht nur „Ja“, „Nein“ oder „Wurscht“ lauten können, sondern idealerweise ein bisschen was Persönliches preisgeben. Wir danken allen, die Fragen eingesendet haben! Ausgefragt! gehört zu unseren festen Formaten – es erscheint halbjährlich. Wer eine Frage hat, schickt die bitte einfach per Mail an fabian AT stayforever PUNKT de; Fabian sammelt die dann für die nächste Folge im Frühjahr. Bitte keine Fragen zum Podcast an sich oder zu geplanten Folgen. Dies sind die Fragen von dieser Folge: Frage 1, gestellt von: Uwe Große AAA-Spiele scheinen mir aktuell wahlweise storygetriebene Action-RPGs mit Shooter-Mechaniken, rollenspielähnliche Action-Adventures mit starken Story-Elementen oder Looter-Shooter mit Puzzle-Elementen zu sein. Genres verschwimmen, zumindest bei teuren Produktionen. Das letzte Genre, das neu “erfunden” wurde, sind Souls-Likes, wobei auch die vielleicht eher Mechanik als Genre sind. Sind die Möglichkeiten des Mediums ausgeschöpft oder schon alle bekannt? Erwartet ihr noch richtig Neues in den kommenden Jahren? – Frage 2, gestellt von: Anna Habt ihr noch Kontakt zu euren Spielefreunden von “damals” (Marco, Rollenspielgruppen, Hotseat-Partner bei M.U.L.E. etc.)? Hören diese vielleicht sogar Stay Forever und freuen sich über Erwähnungen – oder ist das alles eingeschlafen? – Frage 3, gestellt von: Andreas Gab es bei euch DEN einen Moment (bzw. die Momente), wo euch bewusst geworden ist, dass ihr biologisch offiziell alt seid? Ich schieb zum Beispiel immer meine Brille nach oben, wenn ich Nachrichten auf dem Smartphone lese. Wie geht ihr mit dem Thema “Altern” um? Vermeidet ihr das konsequent? Oder macht ihr euch Gedanken wegen Vorsorge, sowohl medizinisch als auch finanziell? – Frage 4, gestellt von: Marius Ich hab es schon öfter erlebt, dass Mechaniken aus Spielen, die ich gerade spiele, mich in der echten Welt triggern und Handlungsimpulse erzeugen, denen ich widerstehen muss. Zum Beispiel wollte ich zu Zeiten von Black and White gerne echte Bäume ausreißen und über einem Sägewerk abwerfen. Und als ich viel Max Payne spielte, wollte ich in jedem Badezimmerschrank Painkiller suchen. Ist euch das auch mal passiert? – Frage 5, gestellt von: Andreas Die meisten von uns kennen das Vorurteil: “Wer sein Hobby zum Beruf macht, hat ein Hobby weniger.” Ich für meinen Teil habe Respekt – um nicht zu sagen: Angst – davor, dass mir ein liebgewonnenes Hobby durch negative Erfahrungen vergällt wird, wenn aus diesem Hobby mein Beruf würde. Wie geht es euch damit? Gibt es für euch nicht auch Tage, an denen ihr von Videospielen und der damit zusammenhängenden Industrie die Nase voll habt? – Frage 6, gestellt von: Patrick Wie geht ihr mit Spiele-Themen und -Inhalten um, die euch physisch oder psychisch belasten? Generell könnt ihr euch ja aussuchen, ob und wer welches Spiel behandelt. Ich denke da an Gunnars Aussage, dass er keine Jumpscares mag und sehr schreckhaft ist. Da er bei Folgen zu Resident Evil dabei war, stelle ich mir das Spielen schwierig vor. Die anderen haben da bestimmt auch Beispiele. Also was sind für euch problematische Inhalte oder “Hürden” beim Spielen? – Frage 7, gestellt von: Daniel Ihr seid gestresst, überfordert oder anderweitig unzufrieden mit einer Situation. Wohin würdet Ihr euch am liebsten zurückziehen, um abzuschalten und zu regenerieren? – Frage 8, gestellt von: Tobias Gibt es Spiele, die ihr vor allem wegen deren Minigames mochtet? Wo diese euch vielleicht sogar besser gefallen haben als das Hauptspiel? – Frage 9, gestellt von: Raffael Wenn ihr zurück in eure Jugend oder Kindheit reisen und eurem jüngeren Ich einen Rat oder eine Erkenntnis mit auf den Weg geben könntet, was wäre das? Also was hättet ihr rückblickend gerne schon damals gewusst oder verstanden?

Will Eastcott, CEO of PlayCanvas and veteran of EA, Sony, and Activision with credits on GTA, Call of Duty, and Max Payne, explains how Gaussian splatting is moving from experiments to production. He breaks down SuperSplat, an open source editor for cropping, recoloring, and optimizing splats for the web, and details a streaming level of detail system that scales from phones to desktops. Will shares how the new SOG format, built on lossless WebP, can cut files by up to 95 % while preserving quality. You will learn practical capture options like lidar based rigs, when to use streaming, how to ship WebXR viewers, and where splats are gaining traction in ecommerce, real estate, and cultural heritage. Subscribe to XR AI Spotlight weekly newsletter

Hello everyone!!We're back talking about vampires and abuse, but with a twist! It's far more elaborate and engaging this time, as we discuss the indie game El Paso: Elsewhere!How do we deal with the holes of violence? With the abyss of abuse that seems to swallow and destroy us whole? In this Max Payne-inspired game (1 and 2, not 3, not at all) we find several ways to not destroy ourselves in such a pit, and find a way to understand ourselves better, even if we don't know what's on the other side.This was an excellent game that kept surprising us not only by being good, but by presenting an emotional story with sparse elements but not less impact.Enjoy!If you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!

Today on Cutscenes we experienced 2008's Max Payne, based on the early 2000's neo-noir third person shooter game of the same name. It's a franchise that all the hosts have fond memories of playing, so let's hope the movie lives up to the name and does the games justice!

Pour avoir déjà accès à l'épisode sur Max Payne 2! https://www.patreon.com/c/ploufetpseudoBonjour. Débutons aujourd'hui notre rétrospective Max Payne avec le premier épisode. Sorti en 2001, il allait marquer durablement l'industrie ainsi que le jeu d'action. Avec ses deux inspirations claires qui sont les films noirs et le cinéma d'action de Hong Kong, Max Payne est à n'en pas douter, une oeuvre fort intéressante. Mais que vaut-il donc 24 ans après sa sortie? Voyons tout cela ensemble, voulez-vous?La version vidéo est dispo sur notre chaîne youtube https://www.youtube.com/@PloufetPseudoLa chaîne Youtube de Pseudo: https://www.youtube.com/@PsEuDoLeSs1La chaîne youtube de Plouf: https://www.youtube.com/@MonsieurPloufOn est sur Twitter https://x.com/PloufetPseudoAinsi que sur Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/ploufetpseudo.bsky.social

Fast Baked Chicken or video game?This acronym could stand for anything, but what it truly stands for is Federal Bureau of Control. Developed and published by Remedy Entertainment, this is simultaneously the debut multiplayer first-person shooter developed by the studio and also the first game published by them. That said, these folks are no strangers to making games and have previously brought you the likes of Max Payne, Alan Wake, and (surprise!) Control. Set six years after the events of that single-player title, the developers have allegedly crafted this game to stand on its own. Will it be a salve for those feeling fatigue with the genre or is multiplayer not an illness this studio can cure? Tom and Chris have ventured out to contain an extradimensional incursion... will you join them?What do you think?

Join Kevin, Doug, and Paul as they slog through Max Payne (2008), a forgettable and dreary adaptation of the popular video game. Starring Marky Mark — delivering a performance that's anything but ph... ph... ph... ph... phat! — the film drowns in gray tones, slow motion, and zero emotion. The guys debate whether this cracks their top 3 worst movies covered, roast Marky Mark's blank stares, and somehow end up reminiscing about Grounded for Life. Even as non-fans of the game, they can tell something went very wrong here. Tune in as the hosts take the Payne so you don't have to.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on walking simulators with 2012's Dear Esther, played here in a 2017 "Landmark Edition" but based on a 2007 Source mod for Half-Life 2. We of course set the game in its time, spend a fair amount of time on randomness and meaning, and open the cellar door. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The whole shebang Issues covered: walking simulators, 2012 in games, a little history of The Chinese Room (the company), a little digression on The Chinese Room (the thought experiment), influences, developing in the mod community, the role of randomness, discovering the randomness, justifying the randomness, mod communities replaying games, not discussing games as you play them, writers having the same space to play, 30 seconds of depressing poetry, "cellar door," a quality of lovely phonemes, the facts we know and the things we might interpret, a dreamy narrative space, Tim reveals his baseball knowledge, a metaphor for grief and an otherworldly space, rebirth, a car accident setting vs a gurney setting, things you can miss, not a thing video games would do, appreciating a new design space, directors' commentaries, crematory urns, one of the props, the impact of the ultrasound, needing to relate to the characters, the potential for missing things. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Fez, The Stanley Parable, The Chinese Room, Dishonored, Halo 4, Diablo III, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Forza Horizon, New Super Mario Bros U, Far Cry 3, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Alan Wake's American Nightware, Hitman Absolution, Assassin's Creed 3, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Darksiders 2, Spec Ops: The Line, Dragon's Dogma, Fez, Journey, The Walking Dead, Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Papo y Yo, Bastion, Super Hexagon, Sumo Digital, Dan Pinchbeck, Jessica Curry, Rob Briscoe, Independent Games Festival, Korsakovia, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, Unity, CryEngine, Little Orpheus, Still Wakes the Deep, Vampire: Bloodlines (series), Hardsuit Labs, Brian Mitsoda, John Searle, Alan Turing, William S.

I agree with everyone that says this game is stunning to look at and the soundtrack is superb. It's creative and tells a story. Honestly, I like almost everything about Okami. Except, playing it... It definitely has some Zelda DNA in it and that isn't a bad thing at all. You're solving puzzles, acquiring power-ups, running through fields. You get to play as a wolf which is rad. I just didn't find the actual gameplay mechanics that interesting. The paintbrush mechanic is sic, but I feel it was under utilized. The combat is kinda boring. And while the writing is really solid (and funny), there's just a little too much of it. My buddy Bradley McCue returns to the show this week. He's a Zelda diehard and liked Okami a little more than I did. I thought it was a work of art that I just didn't want to play, whereas Bradley thought it lived up to the Zelda DNA coursing through its veins. We had a pretty good discussion about this one, so whether you love this game or not, I hope/think you'll enjoy this episode. And before we try to get Issun laid, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks what console has the best ratio of good games to bad in its library? What are my favourite video game quotes? And have I ever turned anything really cool down in my careers as a comedian or podcaster?
