Are there any good Egypt games? It feels like Egyptian mythology and architecture are very rarely represented in games compared to Greece, Rome, or similar despite being fairly popular.Lately there was Indiana Jones which did have an Egypt level, . There's also Tomb Raider 4 and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy - but is there anything else that's not complete shit?
>>724845398Powerslave and Scorpionking
>>724845468Also mummy demake.
Usd to be every game had a mandatory Egypt level. But then people realized modern Egypt sucks too much.
this guy is just talking about sand levels and those are in like every game.
>>724845398>It feels like Egyptian mythology and architecture are very rarely represented in games compared to Greece, Rome, or similar despite being fairly popular.That's because you're a zoomer who didn't live in the 90's where the egypt craze was a thing and we had egyptian shit stuck in everything from Stone Prophet and Powerslave to tomb raider IV or the countless The Mummy shovelware games
I really enjoy Pharaoh Rebirth+. It's a metroidvania where every level is more or less its own mini-level.The only complaints I have about it is absolutely retarded controls for maps/sprinting(double tap up, double tap directions, X+O for a dodge) that cannot be rebound.You also get to play a cool turtle guy in a suit who uses his shell as a bouncing disc and also uses c4 in a level.
>>724845550>>724845398I really miss the Egypt craze. It's such a cool ancient culture with cool aesthetics. It makes sense though I guess because nowadays the pyramids are just a depressing tourist trap and there's no real mystique anymore to the whole thing.
I agree Egypt should be used more, it's cool and is underused compared to Greece/Rome, let alone Japan, Medieval Europe, etcBut in the grand scheme of things Egypt is still one of the most common historical and cultural settings in pop culture, especially if you include loose theming like levels in platformers. If you wanna talk actual, truly underused historical stuff, you need to look at Hindu civilizations in India and Southeast Asia, Mesopotamia, West African Kingdoms, the Minoans and Bronze age Mediterranean, Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations (pic), and really the Precolumbian/Indigenous Americas, qll of Africa, and Oceania islanders in general.Anyways, there was that Total War Pharaoh game, but it was controversial for some reason. You might want to ask Melissa in De Nile, she's an Egyptian researcher who streams games and does Youtube videos, and she would probably know. >>724845550>>724845620>>724845727Egyptian levels are still incredibly common in platformers, kart racers, etc, it's just those genres are less common in the industry/medium in general. Pretty sure most Hero shooters have Egyptian themed maps, no?
>>724845789I think you should leave.
>>724845727It's like Arabian Nights. Aladdin, Sinbad? Those were all inventions by the west and not part of the original story. The idea of the pharaoh's curse was also just literal fake news since the newspapers couldn't get the rights to the actual story. And mummies coming back to life. It's just a really elaborate gravesite.
>>724845398A Tale in the Desert was an MMO set in ancient Egypt. It was very interesting, but I can't imagine it's still going 25 years later
historically accurate ancient egyptians are far too rare in video games
lego worlds
>>724845846Why?>>724845894Pic unrelated, I assume
>>724845398In all of those 4000 years of waiting, do you think their gods ever came to take them home?
>>724846095They were with the gods upon death. Unless their names and visage were erased. Akhenaton didn't get to spend long with them.
>>724845398Pharoah is good (play the original not the remake). You already named Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. That's all I got.Unless Yugioh games count, then there are plenty of good Yugioh games.
>>724845727>>724845398The entire Bronze Age is peak kino. European cultures, especially Greek (Minoan and Mycenaean), mog the Middle East of the same period, just like the Bronze Age mogs all other historical periods.

>>724845970you assumed wrong. ancient egyptians looked like this
>>724846454If you like Minoan aesthetics, you should look up Central Mexican Mesoamerican architecture from Teotihuacan, the Aztec, etcSome of the clothing is vaugely similar too
>>724846762It just doesn't look right without being plastered all-to-wall with guts and gore, daily freshBut if I were to profusely bleed my genitals on a daily basis this is def. the spot I'd choose to do so
>>724846762Why were old world diseases so much more OP than new world diseases? IIRC the only thing the old world got from the new was...syphilis.
>>724847128probably because the old world was much more active in terms of trading between very diverse cultures so diseases would spread much faster and consequently get dealt with faster, that said some diseases are also fairly universal regardless, that some of those got contained to relatively isolated landmasses was certainly a factor however, kinda like how roaches weren't the scourge they are now until the brits decided to go to australia
>>724845398The Secret World's City of the Sun God zone is unfiltered Egyptian kino.Such a fucking good game ruined by being MMOslop.
>>724847128No disease has ever affected daily life as much and for as long as syphilis did. You couldn't walk down the street of any Italian city without seeing several people whose faces had fallen off.
>>724847285What about smallpox? Basically everyone had scarring from it and it altered history on multiple occasions.
>>724847285Doesn't syphilis cause nerve damage? I thought it made you go crazy and retarded, not turn you into a resident evil zombie.
>>724847368It basically caused leprosy in addition to going crazy and retarded.I still have a firm belief that it was always on the European continent from some disease descriptions in Roman literature such as Scipio Africanus ending up with oozing sores on his scalp and face after spending the 2nd punic war raping carthaginian and iberian women to the point that his own soldiers were jealous about it. Roman legionaries in Iberia eventually staged a mutiny over him keeping women and war loot to himself.I just think that an even more virulent version came back from the new world.
>>724847274The Secret World got ttrpg adaptations this year for Savage Worlds and DnD.They toned down some of the art. Showing less titties but it was a pretty faithful adaptation.
>>724847012Sacrifice was really more a monthly then a daily thing, it depends and I'm a little unclear on some of the frequency specifics: Major ceremonies were monthly for sure, at leastYou also weren't sacrificing people in palaces like that, it was done in/around temples, though palaces might have smaller altars in them which might have offerings of self-bloodletting, animals, food, ceremonial goods, etc>>724847128A lot of people credit it to there being more domesticated animals in the old world which led to there being more diseases, from diseases jumping to human and animals, but AFAIK the actual evidence for this is spotty and most zooborne illnesses come from wild, not domesticated speciesPersonally I think a big part of it was simply that there were a lot more people coming from Eurasia to the Americas then the other way around
>ancient egyptian ruins had traces of really beautiful red, black, yellow/gold, white and a shade of blue I really like>I look out of my window right now and everything is either unwashed dirt beige, ugly exposed red brick or the shitty new government grey shell lookMan modern architecture sucks dick.
>>724845398I'm playing Tomb Raider IV right now and that's all Egypt, after TRI also had a good dose of it in both the base game and the expansion. I laughed when I got the part where you have to play a giant game of senet because by sheer coincidence it was also in the latest AI The Somnium Files a few months ago so I already knew how to play it. I'm sure that was considered an odd/frustrating part of the game.
>>724845398Asscreed Origins was fine. You get to visit its versions of the underworld realms and explore some tombs and ruins. The best part is that they don't have burning torches and braziers, but if they do, there are human enemies or just NPCs.
Zoomies dont know that Egipt was a black man https://youtu.be/1qS-7VMr28o?si=fzMJD8G1AH3IYQDr
>>724845398Were the egyptians furries?
>>724848220Seconding Origins, the setting and info available in-game are so detailed it was used as a teaching tool.
>>724846720I will never have sex with a black person and you should feel bad.
>>724848220>>724848685>everybody WE-WUZS around origins>the protagonist isn't even black and clearly looks egyptian/arabic
