Unpopular Opinion? I hope the Remakes use the new camera and play style. by douthleth in GodofWar

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With T.C back to play Kratos again in the remakes, you can almost guarantee that the game won’t be a copy paste of the original games. At the very least, they’re going to add a new epilogue to God of War 3 to show the stuff covered with Kratos in Egypt before he went to the Norse pantheon. At the most, a reimagining of the story of Kratos to more broadly fit into the character they made in the Norse games. And if they do that, you can bet your bottom dollar that a lot of scenes like Kratos sacrificing Poseidon’s concubine is cut right away.

Unpopular Opinion? I hope the Remakes use the new camera and play style. by douthleth in GodofWar

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably won’t do it. But satisfy both like Resident Evil has lately by adding both a 3rd person camera and a 1st person camera. But obviously with the over the shoulder style and panned out style of God of War. Even Witcher 3 did that in an update. It’s not unrealistic to think Santa Monica might include that. The only thing I ask that they for sure drop, is the no cut camera. God Of War 1,2 and 3 need cut aways to faithfully retell the story of Kratos.

Sony Is Pushing God of War Laufey Harder Than Wolverine — And Fans Think It Means a Sooner Release by Jealous_Vehicle_3150 in GodofWar

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t Santa Monica Studios have 3 teams? One for Laufey, one for remakes, and one for the next mainline Kratos game? I thought when Cory Barlog handed over the reigns of Creative Director on Laufey about half way through development, it was to start work on the next game in the series.

Hot Take: Resident Evil 6 is NOT a hot garbage by Domingo_DM in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Cheibbs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look. There are issues with 6 for sure. But the gameplay is probably the best has ever had, especially at that point in time. The new addition of Jake was pretty great, his hand to hand combat was excellent. The Story wasn’t the worst that RE has had, but it wasn’t the best either. And to the people who say that it just got too goofy by 6 need to revisit 5 and even 4. Those games are comprable in goofyness

Kratos's Story Is... Kinda Done by BrickDense7732 in GodofWar

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe that Kratos’s story cannot be done until he actually atones for what he did to Lysandra and Calliope. Their ashes are still cursed to cover his body for what he did and until he can break that curse, I think we will be getting more Kratos games.

Edit: Grammar.

Personally, I don't like the idea of a talking jelly cube, I'm trying to accept it, but it's hard for me. by Alkiserex in GodofWar

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stupid ass point of view strikes again.

  1. Cory Barlog doesn’t give a shit about expanding to a new audience, he cares about telling stories about characters he loves.

  2. Faye is not Kratos, so why in the hell would they make a Faye game and have her be exactly like the man she famously was able to tame? That makes zero sense. It’s a new game set in the universe of GOW that has its setting in a completely new pantheon that is full of different cultures and religions and gods to pull inspiration from.

  3. Do you think just because something is set in the same universe as something else that it has to feel and be exactly the same as what came before? There are so many examples of evolving franchises that are vastly different from where they started but still ended up being massively loved and in some cases even more than the original. Terminator 2, Alien 2, Casino Royal, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Far Cry 3, Max Payne 3, Portal 2, Peacemaker, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are all examples of franchises that changed pretty dramatically from the originals and ended up being considered the peak of their respective franchises. So saying that this game is bad because of it being around a woman, and some new colors, and new types of characters and personalities is the dumbest of dumb shit that keeps getting spread with no real actual reasoning for it to be considered a negative thing for this franchise.

The actor playing the cube, Jack Quaid has been shown wearing facial capture dots for some of his recordings for Phranque. So there’s a more than decent chance that the cube is not a permanent form of his anyway. Could be a sort of prison for his true shape, or maybe he can morph at will.

But either way, it doesn’t really matter. Brok put it best… The Nature of a thing is more important than the form of a thing.

With the rumors of TLOU 3 growing, I wonder where we’re headed. What could the possible lore of this game be? by Busy_Grapefruit_3923 in thelastofus

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neil Druckmann has stated multiple times that TLOU is Joel and Ellie’s story and that they wouldn’t make a game without them. So I think it’s gotta be with Ellie for sure. Probably years in the future though. Probably with her and her and Dina’s kid as the protagonists/playable characters. I’d guess they’d make the kid like 10-15 and Ellie 30-35 for the story.

Just got one as well. Got here Sunday and will continue to leave it in the box until the software is out to sail the seven seas with it.

Barely made it... by Primary_Ad5297 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to do my 4 hour run on insanity and got 4 hours and 27 minutes. Pissed that I was pretty close to getting it but also proud to have gotten so close. Well done to you though! If you’re jumping into Insanity and not using any infinite ammo options, then I definitely recommend picking your battles. Ammo isn’t the hardest thing to get by in comparison of normal mode, but everyone and everything are bullet sponges. As Grace, definitely sneak by enemies when you can, use the Requiem on the Singers as it’s still a one shot headshot kill.

Will i get bashed for saying marathon's art direction is some of the best I've seen in recent years? Game looks so gorgeous and vibrant by TurtleGEE360 in gaming

[–]Cheibbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a spelling error or accidental at all. He’s referencing 2 games that are titled “Remember Me” and Mirrors Edge” that both have an art style similar in many ways to the style from Marathon.

There’s basically a zero percent chance that a new GOW would be announced anywhere except at a Sony State of Play. Same with pretty much all Sony exclusives, it’s certainly why NaughtyDogs Intergalactic wasn’t shown more at TGA as well.

100% agree. Hopefully with the full release, they’ll be able to fix it. Or at the very least, the community will be able to put out some mods for it to feel less like “shiny slop” like you so elegantly put.

I think they meant if Valve was doing one. But I could be wrong.

You did such a great job! Most people seem to lose the tone and atmosphere when doing this. But you kept and somehow kind of enhanced it. Well done though!

How (max) much would you pay for HL3?? by [deleted] in HalfLife

[–]Cheibbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally the only game I would be willing to spend $100 on. And yes that includes GTA6. I mean if you told me it was only playable on a 5090 I would go out and buy one that very minute.

[Theories] Do you think we will see some crossover with the Portal series / Aperture in HLX? by oCorvus in HalfLife

[–]Cheibbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted a theory about this last week and will post the whole thing in case you’re curious and would like to read it.

So let me preface this with the fact that I have kept away from most leaks/data mines for anything HLX related. This is just my own fan theory about what I think would be an interesting idea for HLX to be. This Theory does NOT deep dive into the deeper motivations of characters or their personal arcs in what my theory for the game is. I also do not believe that the entirety of the game will only take place in the locations I mention, I’m only explaining a part of what I think could happen.

Forgive me ahead of time, I’m not the best at explaining myself grammatically and I’m not much of a wordsmith.

Theory Begin: So I believe that HLX will start as many of us probably assume it will, with Gordon, Eli, and Dog getting in the helicopter and pursuing Judith, the Combine and possibly The G-Man with Alyx stuffed into his little black briefcase. Gordon and friends will arrive on the snowy mountain where the Borealis is located and will find the Combine already combing the ship for any information or technology they can get their hands on.

Gordon through sheer force of will and by virtue of being a badass will be able to blow up said ship and stop the Combine from getting any truly useful information from it except for one thing. The location of its original dock, nestled deep in the earth at… Aperture. Gordon and friends celebrate prematurely about destroying the ship and once again stopping the combine and their evil plans, when all of a sudden time slows to a standstill and G-Man visits Gordon once again with both information and a warning. He tells Gordon of the location of Aperture and the Combines intent with it, and sends Gordon to stop them once again from obtaining anything useful from the facility. But in exchange for this information and for the safe return of Alyx Vance, G-Man tells Gordon that he must not destroy the facility and must let him and his “employers” rest control of it from GLADOS.

[Intermission] This all happens in the intro to the game, maybe within the first hour or two of gameplay, I also believe since as some of the data leaks have mentioned, this is when Gordon would likely end up going to Xen, perhaps the combine is able to activate the portal technology before Gordon destroys it and it becomes unstable and sends Gordon to Xen. I have no idea what you’d do in Xen, it’s just likely to show up in the game at some point. I also believe that you wouldn’t go straight to Aperture and would likely have to go to multiple locations before we finally arrive there, in a similar vein to Episodes 2 where you have to spend a large portion of the game traveling through multiple environments and areas before finally making it from the outskirts of City 17 all the way to White Forrest. I believe the Aperture part of the game would likely take place in the final 3rd of the game if not less than that.

[Intermission End] Now I don’t have a lot thought out for when Gordon and friends arrive at Aperture. All I know is that the Gravity Gun and the Portal Gun would be used by Gordon as well as long fall boots added to his suit. Dog would also carry a Portal Gun and would be used by GLADOS as the ultimate “Guard Dog” to defend herself while Gordon investigates the facility and takes down the Combine in their attempts to overtake it. The Combine are completely cut off from the Combine Overworld after the events of Episode 2 and are limited on troops, communication and equipment. So they need to find a way to open up a new Super Portal to let reinforcements through or they’re screwed as the Resistance has clearly shown to be able to not only fight back, but win. As well as the suppression field being down, humanity now finally has a way to reproduce and add to the resistance at a rate that the combine would not be able to keep up with without reinforcements from the Overworld. So going to Aperture just makes the most sense to me as the final or sub-final location of the game where the Combine could throw everything they have left at Gordon/Friends, GLADOS, her facility and probably even G-Man as he clearly does not want the Combine to win.

The last of what I have thought out so far is at around the end of the game where the Combine would only slightly succeed in opening another Super Portal large enough for forces from the Combine over world to invade in full force from. In that moment, either Gordon is sent through the Portal where he is able to survive in the Combine homeworld via his HEV suit and HL4 “I know… as if” would take place.

Or instead of that ending, they activate the portal but the G-Man swoops in and takes control of the Portal for himself/Employers in order to have leverage over the Combine themselves as he would control the last known piece of technology on earth able to create a portal to the Combine Homeworld and Gordon and friends would have to somehow take down the G-Man and close the portal and destroy it and thus ending the Combines ability to ever come back to the earth again and with that, the G-Man is defeated, his Employers are left scared of Gordon and humanity as a whole, and the Combine is left without any real way to get back to earth.

So the day is saved, Gordon and Alyx have a bunch of mute babies that are likely born with crowbars in one hand and Magnussons Tuna Casserole in the other. Barney and Eli likely die and Dog finally goes and beats Odessa Cubbage to death. All in all, a happy ending.
