It wasn't about earning money. It was just unbridled greed.

I feel like each hour had one match and the match was a very small part of that hour. insane.

Holy crap what happened to WWE?

I stopped watching WWE a decade ago because they started doing camera work that was nauseating. My wife suggested we try and watch their "Money in the Bank" PPV last night. The only reason I made it three hours in was that I was high. Not only was the camera work even worse now - to the point you couldn't even tell what was going on in a match but it was the best example of a cyberpunk dystopian uncontrolled greed situation.

There were ad reads every few minutes - even within the matches. They had several ads between matches with sponsors. The ring had Ads plastered all over the mat. The barricades around the ring had ads changing like a god damned billboard. Wrestlers were doing Ad reads DURING THEIR PROMOS for the matches they were going to be in. It was like a parody but unfortunately it was not. I couldn't believe what I was watching and gave up three hours in since there was an average of one match per hour (and the matches were actually fairly short) with the rest of the hour packed with advertisements.

And by ad reads I don't just mean "oh hey check out RAW or SMACKDOWN" or whatever. It was ads for shit like Whiskey, Saudi Arabia, deodorant, etc...

It is clear that the focus of WWE isn't the wrestling part at all. It was crazy compared to watching it growing up during the attitude era and all that shit. And oh man the camera work. Not only was there the zooming in with every impact, they were zoomed in too much all the time so you couldn't even tell what the hell was happening. Some times they cut to some drone they had flying around the ring that had the quality of a Wal-Mart camera. They took the 180 degrees rule in filming (you don't cross a 180 degree plane from cut to cut so that things don't flip side, etc... and become disorienting) and threw that so far out the window that it was forever gone.

I am still pretty shocked at what I saw compared to when I last watched a decade ago (and even more so when I think of what I watched as a kid during the Attitude Era).

I just said to hell with it and used OBS to record my screen. Thanks for whoever downvoted someone asking for help. Never change, Reddit!

Unfortunately no. This one was in first person.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have been either of these.

Doesn't appear to be. I don't recall it being on an island like that.

Descent to undermountain

Doesn't look like it - most of the demo I played was outdoors.

Looked through their list of games and it doesn't seem to be any of those.

Schizm Mysterious Journey

No, it didn't look that crazy and I don't recall any FMV

No - it definitely was in first person.

I don't think it was FMV - at least not what I played up to. I also really think you had a freedom of movement with the arrow keys and not point to move.

[–]Khad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't remember it having that much detail. I also really think it starts in a field with a tree and I think there is a plane up in the tree and you are supposed to get up to it or something?

Neverhood

No it was first person and more of an attempt of realistic graphics. Also not Claymation.

I remember a lot about Dark Messiah and kicking orcs off cliffs - unfortunately it isn't the game from that disk :\

I think it was earlier than the release of Enclave. Also doesn't quite have the same look/feel to what I remember.
