Technically the first gaming convention I've ever assisted.
It has very basic gameplay (shooting+stealth+puzzles) but it is there nonetheless. Other than that is what I'd expect from a game trying to sell a product. You walk around an imaginary, E3-like place and watch trailers. It's not something ground-breaking but it got me thinking about the future.

Technically the first gaming convention I've ever assisted.
It has very basic gameplay (shooting+stealth+puzzles) but it is there nonetheless. Other than that is what I'd expect from a game trying to sell a product. You walk around an imaginary, E3-like place and watch trailers. It's not something ground-breaking but it got me thinking about the future.
Doing something like this is obviously a lot cheaper than the real thing, and you have the advantage of being able to put stuff in the exhibitions that would be impossible irl. But, of course, I don't think the public would be ready to swap the real thing for a virtual experience, tho it'd nice to have something like this for people in other countries.
Also I think I barely classify this as a "Game", and I have a pretty big range on what I'd consider "Games". Once someone told me that walking simulators should be renamed "Exploration games" and yeah that's exactly what this is, or maybe "Tour games" would be a more accurate term, like the Discovery Tours from Assassin's Creed.
I think that stuff like this will be its own thing in the future, with a proper term. I mean film needed 30 years before the term "Documentary" was coined.
Anyways this thing is weird and it feels weird to have it in my shelves and steam library. Oh yeah, Shadow Warrior 3 looks dope I guess, even tho I didn't like the first one and didn't play the second one, Fall Guys looks fun and Carrion was probably my favorite out of the bunch
