For some reason, the way it falls in the vial reminds me a lot of Silent Hill.

Certainly a cool material, and I'm hoping it'll get some good real-world applications soon. Seriously doubt we'll be seeing wearable stuff in 2019 though - that still seems too hype-y.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of photorealistic / realistic-behaving games as he describes and which actually work, but I don't know how many current genres / game styles would really "feel right" if presented that way. I don't think I'd want to play an especially violent game that looked fully real, while cartoony or otherwise clearly non-real I'm totally down with. Sports might be interesting, but doesn't really seem a necessary improvement. Survival horror would seem to be a good fit - a fully realistic-feeling presentation of something like Silent Hill or Amnesia has a certain sick appeal. Perhaps particularly in VR. Ideally in The Void.

At :20 I could swear I remember being chased down the street by a whole mob of those while playing Silent Hill one night.

Very fun.

The ones I spotted were:

Pong, Asteroids, Battlezone, Mario, Gameboy boot screen, Quake, Quake 3, Silent Hill, Limbo, FEZ, Portal, Minecraft, The Unfinished Swan, Super Hexagon, Thomas Was Alone, Half-Life and Braid.

Some could be:
Snake, Rez, Yoshis Island, Dear Esther.

The one at 0:32 is bothering me as I'm sure it's something I played a lot as a kid. Also 00:59 makes me think of the original GTA but I think it's something else from around the same time.

Henry's room from Silent Hill 4?

I only buy games Yahtzee recommends.
...I own 2 games <img class="smiley" src="http://videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/frown.gif">

You gotta admit, Silent Hill 2 IS pretty good though...


Dually noted.

Going back and playing that game seems more terrifying than what I remember... It might have something to do with the graphics and the inability to see the creatures stalking me.

argumentum ad hominem. it's not my job to do better; it's rockstar's job to do better. we weren't talking about me or anyone else until you changed the subject. i'd say that bethesda has been doing better open world games since the mid-to-late 90's, konami's silent hill series has been better at telling stories (read: making one feel like playing through a movie, which rockstar wishes they could accomplish), and just about any third-person game from tomb raider to max payne has a better 3-rd person targeting system than that broken-ass excuse rockstar has been trying to fix for 10 iterations or so. so pretty much everything that GTA has been mashing up into a huge meaningless sandbox of drivel has been done before in a less broken fashion, with more variety, less linearity, less repetitive gameplay, and without falling back on hopelessly cliche, hackneyed mafioso stereotypes and slipshod driving mechanics.
but if you wanted to give me money to write a game and pay some programmers and artists and designers, absolutely! i'd be happy to present to you a game that is better than anything rockstar has produced to date. until then, fanboy, defend this mediocre studio with some actual points instead an ad hominem logical fallacy... or just stfu about what i or anyone else should be doing better than rockstar. rockstar puts out unoriginal crap with semi-impressive tech and people like you eat it up, bloat their egos, and line the pockets of corporate lackeys that are afraid to do anything new with an old IP. there's better work out there. you must not hear about it because it's not mentioned in your gamepro subscription. so go preorder this re-hash bullshit, and rest ignorant of the knowledge that people like you are destroying this industry, and this community, by buying into the hype machine of some fake gangster-sim crap with nothing new to offer since version III. and don't tell me that I should put up with it because there's nothing better out there, wtf sort of defense is that?

GTA III was the last time there was any innovation in this series. I'm tired of sandbox missions with a half-assed organized crime drama throughline. I'd rather watch Goodfellas or something where there's real writing and acting. Rockstar games are overhyped and underdeveloped.

You...or ANYONE do better. Seriously we've seen other sandbox games try and fail...this is like criticizing WoW for being what it is. Do something better or accept that this is as good as it gets right now and shut up.

At least when the Mr Plinket reviews rip apart movies I like (like the Next Gen Star Trek movies and Ep 2 and 3) they're entertaining and rather pertinent. Yahtzee just nitpicks about inconsequential things the whole time, rarely saying anything of any worth and in the end comes across as an over opinionated dick (even when I agree with him), which wouldn't be so bad if it was just an online persona, and not his actual personality.
After watching a Plinket review: "Ha ha ha! You know you're right, but I'll still watch them. Is that the time? Man that review was long."
After watching a Yahtzee review: "We get it, you dislike brown and anything not Silent Hill 2, Portal or Sands of Time."
I think the initial appeal from the first several videos has long since worn off me.

I agree he nitpicks but I've wanted to say this to someone all day. Fuck Off.

Grow up

NEVAR!

Then at least never let yourself succumb to using phrases like "fag" and "noob". This is the one bastion on the internet free of such "discourse"


Fuck Off
