From PGN: "Joe Nicolosi produced and directed this live action short film called “Mario” for the SXSW 2011 Film Festival."

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
Of course Christopher would submit this lol.
PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”
Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.
You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...
Nevermind alt...
And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂
Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?
😂😂
@obcurednewaccount: “Of course Christopher would submit this lol.”
You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.

🧐Tally ho good sir and good luck in your future endeavors looking for a new name less peasant 🧐
This person "MyDrip" is more likely the person you say it really is. One thing that stands out in "MyDrip" reply to you is that they always start their replies with what you wrote in your initial comment. They love to repeat what you wrote, again it's probably exactly who you say it is.
Elda - yes, I am obscure observer!
I’m buddies on discord with Chris and cl1983 so I won’t get banned 😇
Nothing to see here in the above comment but another alt account splooging over a glorified photo mode.
PS fans love a good photo mode though, no?
Or did that goalpost move now that an Xbox game looks better?
Imo Stellar Blade looks way better than the bland & drab Hellblade 2 & the gameplay in Stellar Blade is top notch, immensely fun than Hellblade 2. Hellblade 2 can't even do 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.
Of course a PS fanboy would say that though.
And SB is made for weebs who jack it in their parents basement
''Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.''
Not to mention it's a 60fps game and on top of that a big open world with lots of things going all at once. ;)

Oh god, that 5fps water, was it made in MS Paint?
My eyes are bleeding piss now, thanks!
@MyDrip The pot calling the kettle black. You're clearly an XB fangirl. Praising a boring game that looks drab & bland when it comes to colors nor can the game that is mostly just walking can't even run at 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! That's pitiful & pathetic.
It’s 0k0fps on PlayStation 😂😂.
Its unfortunate the PS studios don’t develop games anymore
I personally don't like photo mode in any games. Don't use it, don't need it. This turd game used all 12 tErAFlOps of the Series X for each on-rail diorama scene with no substance and still cant do 60fps. I've seen older games look better on PC. Meanwhile your Xbox is hotter than your mom's bed.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Pretty sick of seeing these mature contented renditions of Mario with eye roll phrases.
@ below
Nintendo is very iffy about tossing intellectual properties to the wolves these days. The problem with Mario in film is this -- American's love talking heads. It's talk, talk, talk and bang, bang, bang followed by a huge explosion. That's the American audience.
Mario doesn't talk much. So what's left? I'll tell you what, the above film. Something so incredibly dreadful to watch that it completely ruins the Mario legacy. Mario will have to be handled with kid gloves should he under go a big Hollywood budgeted release.
If not -- It's going to be bad.
I think it would b interesting to see a Mario movie no matter what
Nintendo and Dreamworks would be great!
WOW
