Adventure Time creator thinks the best games have stories

We've already heard a lot from Pendleton Ward, creator of the hit show Adventure Time, about his interest in making a game based on the property. Up until now, I was excited about the prospect of an Adventure Time game. Now I'm not so sure.

Depends on the game really. And the gameplay. FIFA 12 and Forza Motorsport 4 wouldn't gain much from having stories.

Quagmire4626d ago

Would you honestly consider racing or sports games to be your number 1 favourite game ever? they may be awesome at what they do, but in no way are they considered to be the most memorable games.

JellyJelly4626d ago

That's completely subjective. My favourite games of all time does not include sports or racing games but I know a lot of people who would cite certain FIFA, NHL, COD or Gran Turismos as some of the best games they've ever played.

Some of the best games I've played myself didn't have any fleshed out stories. There's a great possibility Battlefield 3 will be one of the best games I've ever played and it probably won't be because of it's engaging storyline.

Still though. It would be a breath of fresh air if DICE could give us an engaging story. I like the characters of BF:BC 1 & 2, but the stories were always so weak. I want to feel BAD for the characters. If I can feel bad for a guy who killed his own family (Kratos), I should be able to at least connect with some military bros.

Freakin' A!!! I love Pendleton!

He's right and wrong. My favorite game of all-time is Heavy Rain. However...I enjoy a game like Just Cause 2, that has possibly the WORST story in a game this generation. Why? The gameplay is addicting. That being said, if it had a good story, I'd love it more. Actually, if it had a WORSE story, I'd love it more. It could become the Birdemic/Troll 2 of the video game world.

Why do people enjoy Uncharted and Gears of War so much? Sure, they both have great multi-player, but read the reviews. Most of them talk about how great the story is!

It's Adventure Time!!!

I watch his show, so what?

Shackdaddy8364626d ago

I do too and I'm 21 :P. I also watch Pokemon from time to time... I never want to grow up!

This article is pretty dumb. BUT an Adventure Time game would make an excellent Action RPG. The whole show is basically set in a fantasy role playing world anyway. And the show actually has some pretty decent lore.

I'd love to see an open world (at least semi-openworld) Adventure Time Action/Adventure RPG. The show has so many great locations, characters, and enemies. And the quests would be very interesting being that each episode of the show is basically a quest. Imagine that, having quests as epic as the episodes in the game. I could go on and on, I always think about it when I watch the show.

Lol some sony fans now disagreeing with DF !?
They said :
Hellblade 2 is a defining moment in the evolution of real-time graphics".

(The Next Level in Real-Time Visuals)

Game
Takes advantage of everything UE5 offers
- Final game 'lives up to the lofty expectations' of the 2019 reveal
- Character rendering sets new standards and nearly resembles movie sequences with actual actors
- Leverages Unreal's Meta Human 5 to bypass the uncanny valley feel
- DF were left guessing whether some cut-scenes were in-game or real life footage (photo mode shows they're all real time)

Right now nothing on PS looks better than HB2.

5 PlayStation Exclusive Games" also on PC..
so what Exclusive? No one here confesses and accepted the word "Console exclusive". they were making jokes about it!
😂

FTLmaster1d 4h ago

Isn't Hellblade 2 on PC?

PrinceOfAnger1d 3h ago

@FTLmaster

Sony fans were making jokes first about the word " Console exclusive" here and on other sites.
Now they use the word by themselves.
Lol

P_Bomb1d 3h ago

I write console exclusive all the time. I use it in Xbox’s favor too. Those are the games I generally go after over there.

MrDead9h ago

Now I understand who these articles are written for.

Just buy and support the game so MS doesn't shut down Ninja Theory.

S2Killinit1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

You cant really talk when xbox has all its games released elsewhere. Not a good look.

This article says Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima has better graphics than Hellblade 2 i'm done! 🤣

S2Killinit1h ago

DF can talk from its arse all it wants. I’m sure they are spending their advertising money wisely.

Nacho_Z57m ago

People are free to disagree with DF, it's debatable how impartial they are.

The article is a bit of a stretch though. Hellblade has an open goal graphically because it's using the latest tech on small areas with crap framerate so the fidelity is through the roof. It's not impressive to me personally but it's an achievement that shouldn't be denied.

S2Killinit8m ago

Yes. But then a picture can be extremely beautiful but you cant really play it. Hellblade must be beautiful but it has low frames, and its pretty much on rails so it does not really impress me personally.

Okay, I've played all of those, and they looked good for their time. This game just takes realism to a whole other level. some would even say uncanny valley-esq at times.

Maybe that's why people are having a hard time with this game... its almost too real and makes them uneasy about it.

Bathyj32m ago

I doubt that's it. The game has woorde problems than that.

rlow122h ago

lol, really???? The title sounds so desperate. Those games are excellent but not in the same league.

ravens5233m ago

..."not in the same league graphics wise*" Fixed it so you don't sound too crazy. Also not sure its in "another league" but I haven't seen it in person so 🤷🏽 idk.

S2Killinit7m ago

I would say those games are on a much higher level because Hellblade is a game made to look great but its not on par when it comes to how it is linear with small playing areas and low frames. Anyone can do that, but is it a good game? No.

MrDead10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

...now I remember why I hate gaming media, it's because 99.9% are like this article.

purple1016h ago

yeh, probably gonna have to wait for 'Death Stranding 2: On the beach', to get better environments and facial animation than this.
