So it would fail because Citizen Kane was a great movie, but MGS was utterly 'meh' as an actual game. It was maybe 3 hours of gameplay versus 30 hours of forced, tedious exposition.When I think of Citizen Kane I think of great story telling, cinematography, editing, etc.
So off the top of my head, I would say Metal Gear Solid.
I don't even like playing MGS, could never wrap my head around the controls but the game is an absolute masterpiece in terms of cinematic gaming and storytelling.
I didn't see it as extremely fun, just very (very) well done in the tecnical side. And I can see how that can influence the fun factor in a positive way. But I don't see that as innovative in any way, just a step forward in the technical side of things. (But not gameplay)TLOU 2 is extremely fun.
Its the most intense and visceral hand to hand combat i've ever seen in a game point blank. Thats where it innovates.
Pong is primative, like silent films were. Citizen Kane was a wild departure from the primative, and they're not even remotely comparable. Using a camera to look around in Mario's 3D existence and subsequently learning Mario could tiptoe by slightly pushing the analog stick all felt radically different at the time.Pong. Seriously.
That was the game that first made the masses say "Ooooh, I get it." and single-handedly introduced video games to the mainstream. It is the foundation on which all video game culture has been built. Honestly, it is more important to video games than Citizen Kane is to film.
Wolf 3D.What came out first? Doom or Wolfenstein 3D?
I only said Wolfenstein 3D because I thought it influenced and opened the door for Doom. Doom is more influential no doubt about it.Wolf 3D.
However, it was too limited. It could only render otrhogonal rooms and corridors, nothing else. You can't do much with this kind of engine so all the enviroments were the same boring mazes with only textures making them look any different.
Doom was the first FPS with an engine that could render proper enviroments where the only limitation (other than some details like slopes) is your imagination. Prerty much every room was different and interesting to look at and explore. Even today there are new maps created that look interesting and fresh.
Wolf 3D wasn't even a taste of what Doom would be in comparison. Even back then i wasn't very impressed by Wolf 3D but when i saw Doom i thought games would never be the same.
Well, Wolfenstein 3D wasn't the first FPS game anyway. Not even by iD. Before that there was Catacomb 3D and before that there was Hovertank or something like that.I only said Wolfenstein 3D because I thought it influenced and opened the door for Doom. Doom is more influential know doubt about it.
Why do people get so triggered/sensitive every time someone says Mario (Nintendo IPs) are for kids/young audiences?I generally try to be pretty restrained with how I express my opinions on here, but this post is just outrageously wrong.
First of all, Citizen Kane didn't in any way mark the transition from gags to mature storytelling you mention. Many early films, including those from the silent era, were far more than "gag compilations" and included fully fleshed out narratives, dealing with mature subject matter. M was released in 1931, a full decade before Citizen Kane. Metropolis was released in 1927! Citizen Kane actually is remembered for its technical innovation and achievement, as others have said, and for its general high quality, not because it invented serious film-making or was somehow the first film to show that movies could be art.
Also, you're seriously understating the importance of Chaplin and other great silent film comedians (like Buster Keaton) if you think their films were "infantile" or mere gag reels.
And, of course, you're dead fucking wrong about Mario.
Hmmn...maybe it's how you word it?Why do people get so triggered/sensitive every time someone says Mario (Nintendo IPs) are for kids/young audiences?
Nobody argues Toy Story or Bambi isn't something adults indulge themselves with on regular basis. I get nostalgia and great childhood memories but let's stop this nonsense, please...
I don't know many infants proficient with playing Mario games, but I guess they're out there?I don't think people understand what Citizen Kane was for cinema. It wasn't important only for its camera work and clever technics. It was the fact it was a transition from films being a compilation of infantile, fun gags (Chaplin, Marx Brothers) into great storytelling.
It's funny that people here use Mario as games' Citizen Kane. Mario is exactly what masses still think all video games are: infantile entertainment for little kids...
This tells us more about you than either Citizen Kane or Ocarina of Time.Old and boring and overrated? Ocarina of time
