The best game set in Europe wasn’t even made by Europeans. How sad is that?
The best game set in USA wasn’t even made by Americans. How sad is that?
>>221883279The best historical game was made by a country with no history.
>>221883279This game is supposedly set in Russia or Bulgaria or whatever yet all the NPCs speak English with an American accent and are Americans except for the Vortigaunts who arrived from Xen. How retarded is that?
>>221883665Nobody wants to hear European accents.
>>221883956I just recalled that Father Grigory had a Slavic accent
>>221883665Combine resettled most of humanity into random cities
>>221883665The Combine genocided Bulgarians, which is a pretty good decision if you ask me.
>>221883279that's not tw3 (which is polish btw in case you didn't know)
>>221883279>set in europedid they say where city 17 was?
>>221883279Well, the best game series set in America wasn't even made by Americans. So nah, not sad at all.
>>221883665the combine did what stalin did with its own people
>>221887378The art director was Bulgarian and said he modeled City 17 after Sophia but it's not meant to be anywhere in particularThey also blended stuff from the pacific northwest into the environment in episode 2
>>221887558And then Americans proceeded to mog Brits with Red Dead 1
>>221887378the architecture, cars, climate all points towards it being somewhere in eastern europe but since humanity lost the war against the combine I suppose countries don't exist anymore, city-17 being a globohomo mess actually makes sense, people were forcibly relocated there from all over the world and english became the common languageI'm glazing valve a bit here, iirc the real reason was because the game was leaked in it's beta stage and they decided to completely redo the style of the city, the original city-17 was way more vague and orwellian
>>221887881What? Brits made red dead
>>221888068the first game was mostly done by rockstar sandiegobut rockstar north had to come in toward the end of development and fix the game into a playable state for them
>>221888068No, R* San Diego (previously known as Angel Studios) are from California. But as >>221888209mentioned, R* North had to step in to help them finish it. Though notably the San Diego studio also created RAGE engine, which Rockstar still using to this day.
>>221888022i prefer it to mean that the dominant culture if everyone was mixed would be slavic culture but with english as the lingua franca
>>221888319ravenholm is interesting as well, it's like some american industrial rustbelt town with european architecture mixed into it
>>221888316So who made GTA IV then if RAGE was made by Americans?
>>221883279HL2 is vastly overrated
>>221883279hl2 wasnt set in europe it was in city 17 which is clearly petah tikva the black mesa east site is the rishon water treatment plant, the canals level is the canal near ayalon road.
>>221889344The game was still made by R* North, who are Scots. Though before RAGE they used RenderWare, which was created by bongs at Criterion.
>>221889392it isn't when you consider it was also the source engine and lots of things were built off that
>>221888316>>221889344>>221889476>>221888068>>221887881>HQ in Americanot European
>>221889565GTA was conceived and at least 3 mainline games were made before Rockstar's involvement, back when R* North were still known as DMA Design.
>>221887558Based
>>221883552they don't make them like they used to…
