Night Of The Bad Quality Infra-vision Goggles?

To John of God's attention.

You're a top guy Eric! Thanks, I loved the cleav....Black & White films!

Yes, I understand what you're saying. But I somehow feel the need for change. Most of the time the waiting and character animations feel repetitive to me. Hi-Res games make it worse in that aspect. I loved to watch Lara Croft when it came out but every female character now looks like a copy to me. And I don't feel attached to the characters since Gabriel 3, witch was a bunch of polygons anyway...

Hi guys,

I have a question for you that I consider pertinent regarding the common "look" of the typical AGS game. Developers here follow the way Lucas Arts did their classics. And its understandable, we grew with them and loved it.
But I think that those games belong to an era that can be compared to "silent" movies. There's a scenario, normally having 2 exits West and East and the characters "act" inside. It all looks very theatrical to me. Literally.
It was fantastic to see Guybrush pixels walking around but because it was new. Even hi-res characters were a delight to look on later games but again, it was new and only some games really did it well.
To the point that I wonder if there's any need at all to have characters on screen to involve the player, I mean, it's just a character walking around and picking stuff and even the games I loved to play had me waiting for the "action" to finish. The Longest Journey had me waiting too much although I loved it and it is considered one of the best adventure games ever.
If you've played Heavy Rain you'll know that the graphics were stunning, sometimes even near reality. Yes, it was a good experience but at most of the time it was something similar to AGS Trilby's.
Maybe it's me. But my brain reacts much quicker than what is given to me and even the most detailed animation has me waiting. Too much.
Recently I played some games made by Pastel Games. There's no characters wondering around. Only the author vision of some world. The games are considered casual but my brain gets the same rewards than when playing expensive productions. I do miss the voice work...sometimes. For example, the girl on Gray Matter describing items was hysterical and really annoying to me. I don't need every god damn item do be described, unless it's Dominic Armato.

Are we amateur game makers fighting some Quixotic battle? Can we ever make a walk-cycle good enough to compete with teams of professional animators? Is it really worth the hundreds of hours? Can't we tell the same story using a different approach?
This guy Mateusz Skutnik from Pastel games manages to tell some really cool stories with a minimalistic take on adventuring. When I play his games I see a lot of room to improve and bring together the best of 2 worlds. You get Covert Front that deals with espionage, Submachine games that reshaped the scape the room games and my favourite: Daymare Town, where the author takes you to something that could be part of a Hugo Pratt novel.
And guess what? All easily done with the AGS engine. The mind is the horizon here.

Tell me what you think, please.

Well, Weird Science is a...complete mystery to me! , but I like the way it has become something omnipresent on this thread.

My "raged" post was a joke but I do wish we could have more known female artists from the 70's around.
There's no shame in posting a "easy" film here, and I think it's fun to post famous artist on not so famous films they did.

Anyway, this thread is great and I love the people who spend time here, I do laugh out loud with some of the posts!

If only the waiter had a mini skirt...

This is going way too fast for me! And why do we have to guess a movie from a frame with a car that is not even a unique car, it's just a bloody car!
Why don't we post more actresses with boobs? Or actresses from behind? Even 70's actresses in movies with bad picture quality?
I demand, as a regular user of this thread that we start posting mainstream stuff!
The fun here is not only to guess the movie but to remember good old movies, like GOG but with movies! Stuff like Blade Runner or Weird Science!!!

And my guess is: Leaving Las Vegas.

The Invisible Man?

Blade Runner?

Naughty Nurses Go Camping?

Amazon Nuns?

Isn't this thread about nurses?

Christina is a Woman - Menstruation, The First Signs?

I've watched that one before, it's "Monster Breasts - First Blood".

Love and Death it is,

Nice one ArjoOn, you're next!

It's not LOTF, Stupot. But there are is a lot of moustache frenzy on the movie...

I'll wait for more than one reply to release some serious hints

Yes! Victory is mine!
My plan worked!
All this years waiting for Royal Flash, the only movie I ever seen!

Anyway, I do agree with Eggie, we should post more mainstream movies here, I could easily post a Portuguese film here and be the last winner of this competition forever!

Enough talk:

Royal Flash?

I think many of you can do better than to just wish him luck.  Over $4000 was raised for the ags bake sale so there are people here who can afford to donate something (is even $5-10 too dear to you?).  You could be where he is next year and looking for a hand up, so just bear that in mind.

Also, you really should check your private messages, Joe.  If you don't have yourself a paypal account, make it happen ASAP.  This will streamline donations and you can transfer that money to your bank in 3-5 days.

I'm officially calling all of you out to donate 5-10 dollars (or more if you can spare it).

I think that you could help him if you can and wish him luck if you can't help him. There's no harm comforting someone.

Happy -late -  Birthday, Ghost!
