How is it that a small studio knows how to tell and direct a story better than big studios?There are plenty of games that have good storylines but less emotional impact due to the staging.
Design by committee results in the most milquetoast shit immarginable. Historically, the best stories were the result of a single deranged mind putting his thoughts on paper.

>>738179997Not necessarily, because the situation you just described is Kojimaesque fart sniffing indulgence. You might think it is trash but the HP franchise being a designed by committee ghost written project proves that committee understands how to appeal to the wide audience. If anything most absolute story fails are one man shows. Druckmann had no tard wrangler for tlou2, kojima had no tard wrangler for death stranding, nomura and kh, other m lmao etc. I struggle to think of many positive outcomes. The solo man creative vision sounds good in theory, but where are the results in practice?

Too bad that the game itself is heavily mediocre. They only knew how to make a movie designed to make critics cream their pants. When making the game itself they just messed around with Unreal assets and copy-pasted code.
>>73818073210 million is not a huge amount of money. And having roughly 30 employees makes them smaller than Project Moon, who are widely considered indie, with its 50 employees.
>>738180779Yes, he was indeed a hero for actually saving Ellie instead of walking away into the sunset when the Fireflies betrayed him and wanted to butcher an underage girl. There's something comedic about a Jew constantly crying that Joel deserved to be violently murdered for not trusting a bunch of "doctors" and their magic "vaccine".
>>738180732Supergiants Games (Hades) are considered indies and have around 40 employees.
Emil needs a way better committee to ghostwrite Bethesda games because left on his own writing is painfully tedious. Like, I can look at Starfield and see the squirming, half-formed blob of pretentiousness that The Unity storyline would've been if only Emil was less of a hack, but I've seen that story presented better a hundred times before. He was trying to do the Dead Money DLC from New Vegas about walking away, the EYE Divine Cybermancy story from Streum-On about the endless looping cycle. That The Unity is the ouroboros eating its own tail, it leads nowhere and to nothing, Starfield is about walking away from the pointlessness of it all.
>>738180085they're marketerse33 was a test in seeing if "indie" could be used as a marketing brand, even when the people producing the game are effectively a big company (team of ubisoft vets with decades of experience, backed by a billionaire, outsourcing work to indian and chinese merc studios)it's a textbook triple A but it marketed itself as indie and the dumb brownoid fanbase ate it up

>>738179893they got insane rng finding a good composer and elder god tier cinematic director (that needs to leave the video game industry immediately and work in film) that do massive amounts of emotional heavy lifting even though the story and writing are mediocre at bestthat's really all there is to it the size of a studio is irrelevant now since most upper positions in the AAA are held by nepos
>>738180748Video games? Also most of those are trash. I'll give you the good dick though. Again though, the implicit question is what solo man video game stories actually turn out well. I'm as surprised as you that the number is so depressingly low. It just goes to show that we underrate how truly difficult it is and how rarely it gets pulled off.

>>738182375>nothing matters since nothing is real anywaygreat plot, very engaging
>>738182669I find it funny how this retard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DP8nyIwdbQ counted Journey among 'indie' titles when its estimated budget is like 5 million dollars (7.5 million dollars factoring in inflation)
>>738182669>>million dollar budget >Not indie.How do you define indie? Is it just budget? Silksong was in development for 7 years. It has a team of 3 people. Assuming salaries of 100k and no other costs at all, the budget would already be above 2 million. Is Silksong not indie? What about if a AAA studio funds a small project by 1 developer that ends up with a budget below 1 million? Is that indie?To me, the best definition is that the studio is creatively independent. This means no shareholders telling them what game to make. That's the best way to distinguish from AAA games without arbitrary budget limits or counting studios big enough to self publish as indie because they don't have a publisher. It also best fits the actual appeal of indie games, that the devs are the ones actually designing the game instead of being told what to make.

>>738181275>QTE combat is highly skillfulfucking lmao
>>738181401>>738183319What QTEs?
>>738183515parrying specifically in a turn based non-action game is a glorified QTE
Just good design decisions and good hiring practices all round. No nepotism, no DEI. Yeah the director himself is a beneficiary of nepotism but he clearly knows how to assemble and run a team.One of the more interesting design choices, and I think this is absolutely crucial to the game and relatively unheard of for this type of game, is to record the mocap first. The physical performances do a huge amount of heavy lifting in this story, when you look at the expressions of the characters, their body language, they're full of so much micro detail that sells them as real believable people with consistent personalities and motives. Most games, RPGs especially, record the VA first and sync the mocap on top, or often both together by the same actor. When you reverse it, you end up with physical expression and body language being central to the character's definition, rather than just what they say. It's the old show don't tell philosophy. Loads of games have great VA and plenty have great stories, very few have characters which feel as alive as this though.
>>738183715>parrying specifically in a turn based non-action game is a glorified QTEHow so? Because you have to press a button at the right time? That would make about 60% of all actions in every game ever QTEs.
>>738183759Nepotism:Undue attachment to relations; favoritism shown to members of one's family; bestowal of patronage in consideration of relationship, rather than of merit or of legal claim.The favoring of relatives or personal friends because of their relationship rather than because of their abilities.I'd say he's competent
>>738182975Verso deserves total piano death, rest of your post is right.
>>738181353The combat animations aka the good ones were outsourced to a Korean studio (didn't even get a shout out from Broche at TGA)The shitty animations you see in the overworld are from some UE5 asset pack, the cutscenes are mocapped
>>738183759>reading all thatWasted my time bro. Just say you like watching movies and be done with it.
>>738183068>>738184246I was talking about the last sliver of Verso's soul.
>>738184072Yeah. If all you're doing is inputting a command from time to time at specific timing, then it's a QTE.As opposed to something like Sekiro, where you have to do 10 more things WHILE worrying about parry timing.
>>738179893Because there's actual passion and soul behind smaller studios.
Why did they give maelle such a massive ass
>>738180198French and jeet and chink and Korean made game. “. White”. KYS subhuman.
>>738184595Imagine how much plapping there was in Lumiere, the age keeps getting low so they eventually have to have started impregnating women the moment they turn fertile right? Maybe a massive ass was just an evolutionary response

>>738179893Parryslop
>>738179893Big studios have big shareholders and big publishers to answer to and those want to maximize profits so they are forcing the devs to make the game "market safe", add this character and that mechanic to reach that demographic e.t.c. and it makes the project souless.Meanwhile, this frenchies just wanted to make their own final fantasy
>>738187951And then you get niggers crying about how they dont find a turn based game fun. Like these faggots go into racing threads to cry about not liking forza or gran turismo. This game has a target painted on its back and you see this every E33 thread+the 4 anti E33 threads that pop up right after. Fucking bizarre, guess not making a soulless mass appealing slopgame is a crime.
>>738180575Death Stranding is fucking good though, so what is your point?
>>738182375Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but with woman moment.
>>738179893>small studioYou don't end up with a lot of the tonal backlash you get in like RDR2 where the story is written by committee so you have some clashing themes that don't really make sense.

>>738185004This guy understands. >>738188396That's like saying someone refusing to eat mcdonald's is being filtered. That's just cope. No, they're the ones doing the filtering - of shit. Turn based RPGs do not suddenly become good by adding one extra mechanic, that really is just a QTE.
