It gets more open world. Still the same main cop as the first movie, but he goes undercover into a crime gang.
Watch it, then look on youtube for the making of the highway chase scene. 🙂

I'm having a lot of fun with this game, Severed Steel. About 3 hours in, it doesn't seem too long but it's crazy.

Think I might try to make a game similar, but with realistic graphics.

Audiobellum

cybereality I haven't played any new games in a while and I probably won't be playing Adaca anytime some( as it's on the Unreal Engine while I'm not using a gaming pc) but, I think you might like Adaca(or ADACA as that's how it's usually spelled). I just find it's success, fascinating:

Looking interesting. I saw an ad for that, but I'm not really a fan of the TF2 art-style. Also, I don't like long games. I prefer to play games that are a few hours in length, cause I'm always really busy. I know all these people like 120 hour games, but they must be like 15 years old with nothing to do with their life. I think 8 hours is the max for me before I feel like I'm wasting my time. And I haven't played any serious games in a long time. I just picked up Wolfenstien II and then I'm playing this Severed Steel game, mostly for research to see if I want to work on an FPS game. So far it seems promising. But I'm trying to do like this mix of FPS and walking simulator, I don't want to reveal too much yet until I finalize the concept.

That review above says Adaca has a 3.5 hour main campaign, and an alternative open ended mode like stalker.

I know all these people like 120 hour games, but they must be like 15 years old with nothing to do with their life.

I'm 48 and I've got (just a quick scroll through my Steam/GOG/Epic libraries, just a selection of higher hour ones):
Dark Souls - 206 hours
Dark Souls 2 - 162 hours
Dark Souls 3 - 183 hours
Dark Siders 2 - 168 hours
Dishonored 2 - 163 hours
Divinity Original Sin - 142 hours
Divinity Original Sin 2 - 549 hours
Elden Ring - 356 hours
Euro Truck Sim 2 - 63 (all in VR) hours
Fallout 4 - 228 hours
Metro 2033 - 83 hours
Metro Last Light - 57 hours
Metro Exodus - 100 hours hours
Monster Hunter World - 95 hours
Nier Automata - 97 hours
Nioh 2 - 170 hours
Starbound - 360 hours
Wolfenstein 2 - 67 hours
X3 Albion Prelude - 127 hours
X4 - 184 hours
Cyberpunk 2077 - 178 hours
Witcher 3 - 299 hours

and to top it off, according to Inara (which checks my log files), my Elite Dangerous time (99.9% in VR) is 1 month 6 days 10 hours 15 minutes. 🙂

Some of those I haven't even finished the first play through of yet (Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Nioh 2, MHW, etc)
But as a game dev teacher, game playing is research. 🙂

If Visual Studio had a time tracker, I'd have spend years in it. 🙂

Kojack How do you find the time to put that much time in any game, let alone that many? I thought I was obsessed with Slay The Spire but it's only about 180 hours. The only time that comes close is maybe COD MW3 on Wii way back when. I blame the motion control and free online play for playing it so much. I might have even been good at that game if I didn't take every opportunity get kills with the UZI turned sideways. It blew my mind when I saw xbox 360 graphics for the first time 5 years after it came out, and it blew my friends' minds at the time when they saw the motion controls. I still would have opted for the Wii version.
sideways UZI > good particle effects

Well I have 212 hours on Cyberpunk, but that's the most for me.

When one is sick, they have all the time in the world to play. And, Green Hell VR is truly amazing. The graphics, the sound FX... It is so beautiful, yet it scares the poop out of ya! Especially at night.

PS: I have a newfound respect for those who survived Covid 19 back when it was awful.

Still, those graphics. I am a very jealous game dev who wants something that looks that good right now! Someday, maybe... Whenever I try to add good graphics to VR, I end up killing the battery or making the game crash. It's not fair, I tell ya! 😄

Kojack

I do want to try Green Hell, looks cool.

Red Matter 2 comes out next week, another interesting VR game. I'm waiting to see if it's cross buy though. The devs said it would be, but the Oculus store says its currently not. But their store isn't always accurate.

Nerdzmasterz

Green Hell rocks! It is highly addictive! Get the VR version if possible, though, PC is a little clumsy. I have both as my headset can't handle constant playtime.

I actually love the open world concept games. Have all that in VR? I mean, get outta here! I would love to experiment on something like this once I'm out of the wind, after I'm done with a first viable product in Unity.

Spoiler alert: For VR, at least, You will probably never hear it from anyone else, but you can chop down trees with mere stones, and you get bone needles by cutting it with blades. It drove me insane trying to make the bone needle to no avail.

Pixophir

Every time red matter is mentioned (since that star trek movie), I can't help but think of ketchup.

Prepare red matter !

😋

The look of it isn't much better. Space burgers, anyone?

To my mind, a long action game would have at least 15 hours of content; this is how older games done it based on the numbers I'm looking at right now.

This how long it takes to beat Legend Of Zelda: Link To The Past:
https://howlongtobeat.com/game?id=10028

Of course, you could beat it quicker if you're a speed runner as I've seen 5 hours walkthrough of LoZ: Link To the Past. Take into consideration that this game is basically an open world game. Now one could say that it doesn't count, because it's 2d ( though they'd be wrong). Well, the main story for GTA 3 only lasted 15 hours according to howlongtobeat.com:
https://howlongtobeat.com/game?id=4061#:~:text=When%20focusing%20on%20the%20main,Hours%20to%20obtain%20100%25%20completion.

Long games don't need 100 of hours of gameplay. We need smaller open worlds again.

It's difficult to make a game that appeals to both casuals and hardcore player a little but, as I've said before, I thought Perfect Dark 64 had a lot of potential in that regard. Players could save in levels and had to complete them in one sitting but, each level was short and they were different difficulty options for the more masochistic players. The game also had a good amount of side content and unlockable. Still, the game doesn't have a whole lot of replay value as the combat isn't that deep.

Audiobellum

Wow. Just when I thought about it, it happened and it sounded just as I expected.

Since all of Pop Punk is made in the Major scale, it's always going to sound uplifting regardless of subject matter. As I've imagined, this rendition of Master Of Puppets doesn't do the dark lyrics a whole lot of justice. I personally like the simplicity of Pop Punk, as when I like to play easy things on my guitar. Still, why does everything has to be in the Major scale? This is why I rather listen to Punk music, as oppose to Pop Punk music. That said, it does sound nice.

Audiobellum

Anyway, this is my favorite cover of Master Of Puppet I've heard recently.

Also, here's another cover done by a Pop Punk band but it's closer to the original:

W4 have just made a pull request to Godot 4: a DirectX 12 renderer as an optional alternative to Vulkan.
https://w4games.com/2022/08/12/w4-games-donates-direct3d-12-support-to-godot/
This is needed if you want to port a Godot game to Xbox.

(It's not the only thing needed for Xbox, there's NDA stuff too, but DX12 support is something that is needed and can be open sourced)

No life, lack of sleep and a job that overlaps with gaming. 🙂

Nerdzmasterz

Pff. I have almost a thousand hours in one game. If you love it, you will play it until it breaks!

Audiobellum

Nerdzmasterz True but, so many open world games are unnecessarily long and drag themselves out with repetitive content. The worst part about it, is that they're even self aware of this. In Far Cry 4( which I admittedly never place), it has an auto drive feature so that the player doesn't have the manually drive their own vehicle because of how boring it can get. I don't even have a problem with fast travel mechanics, as moving around an open world game will eventually get boring and you'd eventually just want to get to previous locations quickly. However, some open world games are so unnecessarily big with no interesting content in-between; this is a problem that can easily be solved by just not making a game so big. Waypoints are just their to tell the player where to go; they also become a necessity when many locations in a game look incredibly similar like what you'd find in Skyrim( a game I've admittedly played but not for very long).
