The last guy looks like my best friend. And so he was probably pretty high while writing that note.

it shows the "Fair Use"

Ps4 engine from CAPCOM burst with claims that its now has the power to take game design in new directions
and they are showing the same game mechanic we saw ... in every game back from 2000

CPU POWER = CREATIVE DESIGN Laughing

Dice 2013 Sledgehammer games talking about how realistic they new game is [ Call Of Duty :Modern Warfare 4], about Humvee doors in Civil cars compared to Military and it weight and armor
and then they show a 10 sec clip from the beginning of the game how you open a door from that car , then telling to the future designers out there that they research how heavy the door is and how the hand bended to open it COUNTED to realism of this game

RESEARCH ON HOW COMMON THING WORK = REALISM Laughing

Next we see Jimmy Fallon interview with the makers of Killzone 4 showing off the game and he asks them clever design questions masked by idiotic remarks [thats how you get the real answers], and the devs respond that they now have a ps4 , a x16 times more powerful machine then ps3 and with its power ... and 8gb ram that the ps4 has they now have the space to FINALLY DEVELOP THE CHARACTERS THAT YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT

MORE RAM = MORE R[A]OOM FOR STORY DEVELOPMENT Laughing

a game designer that revolutionized the sand box experience shows his new game... he shows how the wold is now fucked, with total big bother control of everything and now our freedom is taken
... imagine that his speech was inspiring like V speech about why we lost freedom from the movie "V for vendetta" ...But now, picture how things would change, how the world would react, if a handful of people suddenly developed super-human abilities...

PR CAN SELL ANY SHIT IF ITS THE SAME GAME WE GOT LAST YEAR BUT THIS TIME WITH NEW STORY ... I MEAN PERCEPTIVE OF THE SAME EVENT THAT YOU PLAYED

and the last vid clip shows Bungee new game DESTINY that they are creating something completely NEW ... the thing is it looks like all theirs HALO games

SAME GAME WITH THE SAME GFX AND DESIGN = COMPLETELY NEW GAME Laughing
Genius!
It truly shows what's the state of the AAA games industry.

lol. Some people actually think that this is profound or thought provoking in any way.

The man who called the Wii out for being total shit, simply for no other reason than having shit hardware, calls the industry out for saying that better hardware = better games. Which is even more ironic when you consider that, even though I find the whole Wiimote thing to be disgusting and a part of the problem with the game industry, the Wii is the best example in recent years of a major industry player at least ATTEMPTING to actually do something different.

But, of course, the Wii wasn't Chris "lol you liked what I did for Spore, amirite?" Hecker's baby. So it was terrible.

I'm not sure what's worse though: A guy with poor taste who can't make video games for shit (he's been developing a fugly as hell game for years now, so it makes sense that he'd make such an about-face, seeing as SpyParty looks like it wouldn't even need two GameCubes duct-taped together to run it) "ranting" about anything in the industry, or the fact that he shows up at GDC and basically just calls out the same things that everyone on THIS VERY FORUM called out a long time ago -- only the people here called it out more eloquently.

Obviously I'm not defending the "lol our shit is SO FUCKING INNOVATIVE" attitude from the bro-game publishers, but this guy should hardly be praised for calling other people out for being intellectually dishonest, since he's clearly an intellectually dishonest dickbag himself. A man who, by the way, is developing a game which has been repeatedly developed by other people. But it's totally different, because it focuses more on innovative hipster subtle gameplay, not brosplosions.

More of a nitpick thing but seeing as he didn't use words at all for his 'rant' of course everyone else is more eloquent on the topic. That's by definition.

I don't see the point in this. Insinuating that good hardware / good looking games != good games doesn't make the reverse good games = shitty graphics his point.
(And then there's the point where you can always argue the definition of bad graphics. Some people mind, some people don't)

I agree his comments on the Wii went too far back in the day and god knows what had him thinking issuing such statements could be in any form be a good idea.

Even if he's a "dishonest dickbag" which, honestly, I can't judge since I'm too lazy too google everything he ever did or said, that doesn't make his point any less true.

About 7 years ago, Hecker was the one lamenting the shitty performance of the cell processor in the "next gen" consoles.

i know but that was not the point , he just showed how gullible people are when they see pretty things

forgetting they saw the same things 10 years back in the xbox360/ps3/wii era and got the same answer

i must say that the war in Iran–Iraq and the Economic crisis of America awfully influenced the development of games today ... in the Pixel shader 3.0 era of consoles with sub-hd

compare games from xbox/ps2/GC?DC with games of today that each one of them are a clone of the other just to make us buy it... no innovative design only copy of a copy

hecker has become just some 4chan flunkie troll when he opens his mouth. He got useless reputation for just talking smack and children lick his ball sack every time he trashes obvious pr talk. he's a nobody. he's worthless. all he does now is make shit points that are obvious to gamers that will do nothing to change the industry.

the industry now listens to shareholders. patcher and the like run the show and they have to be stopped. they say what games are what. what games are worth money. what ips are worth money. what to support and what not to support. shareholders listen to business reports. devs listen to publishers. publishers listen to shareholders. It sucks. It's all PR game and it has been a PR game ever since the west took over the console market. Gaming has gone down the shitter... once in a while will you see a publisher step out of its comfort zone (b:i, w_d, t.r) but even then it's a risk that could break/destroy a company (thq, sega)

The industry now is controlled by old assholes who never play the games they push onto us.

I remember when gamers had a say in what games they wanted. Now we don't have a say/choice. I just hope more publishers take risks... right now the next gen for ps4 looks exactly like ps3. Just prettier gfx. PR talk works for the kiddies... single camp kiddies who don't understand half the PR shit and just hear the buzz words as if they mean something... just like hardcore gaming Laughing
