A question for a question...

Privateer Puddin' · Sat 27/09/2003 20:31:07

game wise: Deus Ex 2

modding wise: Halflife 2

I've never liked editing Unreal games but valve have kept as much as possible in HL2 the same as HL. Deus Ex 2 should continue improving strong story based first person shooters

Which adventure game would make the best movie? why?

Archangel (aka SoupDragon) · Sat 27/09/2003 22:11:23

Indiana Jones

But seriously, I think Broken Sword's got the whole action-romance-adventure-cheesy conspiracy thing going on.

Next: if you were to fuse an adventure game with another genre, to create something along the lines of a FPRTS, for example, what would that genre be?

Trapezoid · Sat 27/09/2003 23:32:58

I'd fuse it with FPS... Imagine playing an adventure game with the first person, free range of exploration of an FPS. It's probably been done, but probably not to its full potential.

If you could hack Monkey Island 1 and change the graphics and dialog, how would you alter it?

Nellie · Sat 27/09/2003 23:37:39

I would fuse Adventure and Real-Time Strategy.

In-between battles, your character could wander around the camp interacting with soldiers in your command. As you got to know them, it would be very sad to see their deaths in battle.

Oh bum, Trap answered before me.

Privateer Puddin' · Sat 27/09/2003 23:41:27

Only real dialog change id make in MI1 would have to be with Fester Shinetop, its unclear whether he is infact lechuck, under lechucks orders or otherwise.

If you could end Monkey Island 2 differently - how would it end

Hobbes · Sun 28/09/2003 15:50:10

I'd end it badly, having the ending not work out, and LeChuck killing Guybrush...

...and then switch to young Guybrush waking up in the middle of the night, in bed.

Then let them deal with *THAT* when creating MI3.

Question: What underdog adventure game REALLY deserves a sequel?

Minimi · Sun 28/09/2003 15:54:18

I don't know if it's an underdog adventure, because in my eyes it's one of the best ever, but I'd say Jack Orlando from Topware, now published by jowood. That game is really neat... and I'd love to see a sequel.

Question : Can you live without a computer? Explain why, or why not.

Eggie · Sun 28/09/2003 16:57:13

Yes...I have managed to go for prolonged periods without a computer without my eyeballs melting.

Next question:
How much wood could a wood...chuck..
...
FINE!

Real question:
Do you prefer low or high res. (NOTE: This is NOT "what is best". This is YOUR personal preference.)

Minimi · Sun 28/09/2003 17:07:57

High resolution, for playing games, and low resolution for making games.

I like hi-resolution because I think graphics are pretty important to the adventure, and in highresolution they are most often more beautifull and detailed.
When I talk about making games, I prefer low resolution because 1. It takes less time. 2. it takes less time and 3. it takes less time

Question : If you'd reincarnate after you death as an animal, what kinda animal would you like to be?

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 28/09/2003 17:52:11

a pigeon, see how many people i could go poop on

what game were you really looking forward to, but it ended out rubbish

Archangel (aka SoupDragon) · Sun 28/09/2003 18:16:40

Final Fantasy 8.

Next question: worst sequal ever? (can't be an ff game, I already called that

)

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 28/09/2003 18:24:44

escape from monkey island

not a bad adventure game, but screwed up everything before it

what game which isnt an adventure game, would make a good one?

Archangel (aka SoupDragon) · Sun 28/09/2003 18:38:35

EMI, piff

You people are so predictable

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 28/09/2003 18:42:42

what would YOU have said then? being a mainly lucasarts player, i didnt get too many sequels

plus roller coaster tycoon 2 - 1 was excellent - 2 just didnt do anything for me

Hobbes · Sun 28/09/2003 21:28:57

I think Unreal (the original one) would translate quite well... escaped prisoner stuck on an alien planet with a completely alien culture... lots of potential there.

Ok, as for my question:

If you could be another AGS member for one day, who would you be? And, more importantly, what would you do?

Quintaros · Sun 28/09/2003 21:34:14

I'd be Farlander and I would..ahem...hang out with his girlfriend.

Question: How far would you like to go with game-making? Hobby or desired career? Do you think an amateur game is a viable way to break into the business?

Hobbes · Sun 28/09/2003 21:38:46

Ah.

And your next question for everyone would be?

Quintaros · Sun 28/09/2003 21:41:32

See above.

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 28/09/2003 21:45:35

a) Defiantly want to go professional, for me, creating a small game company where i would know everyones name but we were still be able to create a good game would be perfect for me.

b) I would say it is, but not really in the adventure game scene atm, but in other genres such as FPS (ie CS, the creator(s) have gone slightly pro)

Q: uh, is any one planning to change from adventure games if they go pro? would you be forced to do a different genre to get into the pro game making?

MrColossal · Sun 28/09/2003 23:29:34

i have some platform games knocking around in my head

i have started hating platform games cause they are so repetative but lots of people like them and they translate to other consoles [read: GBA] easily.

platform games seem the safest route cause they can be played by many age groups, there are just as many kids playing Mario as there are teenages and adults, unlike other more complex games

If you could go back in time to 1970 and bring one technology from current games to show people what would it be?
