  • The studio formerly known as Irrational Games is now called Ghost Story. We’ve set out on a new project. This video from Ken Levine’s 2014 GDC talk explains the high-level concept that served as the catalyst for the game we’re working on.

    I really appreciate the creativity fueling Ken Levine to want to make a truley immersive and groundbreaking gaming experience. But I feel like a response to the Bloomberg article is necessary, it really doesn't look good when developers are saying that they were verbally browbeaten and chewed out in front of everyone. After spending almost ten years working on a game that was supposed to come out in 2017. I'm still a fan and I love Bioshock 1 and infinite and look forward to the next game whenever it gets announced. But I hope we can see something soon, I'm sure it'll be brilliant

    I think everyone who's played them can agree that the Bioshock series was impactful to them. I'm not necessarily hoping for a sequel to Infinite, or Bioshock in general, but I think that there's definitely a pressure on Ken and Ghost Story to top what they did in that series. Eventually we'll see something new from this studio, and hopefully it lives up to the expectations that their other games have given us. That said, this talk is old as the hills I'm really hoping they put out some kind of news soon...

    What would be nice: to have some of the Stars have interactions with each other completely or only losely related to the players actions. Like in Game of Thrones: the story is not only driven by Cersei but also by the actions of the other characters. So maybe things happen between characters that were beyond the players control or influence and still shape the world. That would be very, very hard to make, I suppose, but feeling as though I'm not the only person to influence the world (as in: I'm the only one actively doing stuff, everybody else is just sitting around or waiting for my orders) would really add to the feeling of realism.
    For example: I refuse to kill someone for one the Stars - so he goes and does it himself. And depending on what I've done for him to help him prepare he makes it out alive or not.

I loved the game and the level of depth and sheer narrative care was and is amazing. When Elizabeth or booker are separated from each other, their connection and need for each other is very prominent which, in my eyes, was great. In short, you guys and gals made a great game and thank you so much for the joy it provided me. I’m excited to see what you people do next. Good luck

    The way he talks about nerrative makes me thing of a strange little gem called Pathologic. It's kind of a RPG/survival game where certain events can happen in the world at any time, and if the player doesn't witness them then the player won't be able to go back and see it. While wandering the world one time, I came across a group of villagers burning a girl at the stake, calling her a witch. It added to the atmosphere of the game, and helped sell it as living, because if I wasn't in that specific area at that specific time, I would have missed it.

    The archetypes, like the hero, or the mother, etc could be good starts for thematically driven narratives that stem from the micro. Well it's possible - it would require an interaction of sub passions that happen between npc's to enforce a collective unconscious of somesort. Limited of course, but this could lead quests creating themselves, with characters being driven to murder, or cheating, or acting with heroism. The player interactions are more important, but I could see this adding a lot more variety, creating (I hate to say it - a living breathing believable world). It would be so interesting seeing how different archetypes and personalities intermingle. Quests flow to you from people asking for help, people being drawn to thievery through their actions. However there would have to be modifiers like forgiveness, or a threshold so that people don't just fucking murder everyone once the tensions built up 30 hours into the game.

    • @NocturnalNick
      @NocturnalNick Před 3 lety

      Also I did recoil a bit at the 'no win condition' thing, it's something that made me skeptical of Crusader Kings; I like to have something concrete to work towards, and dislike feeling like developers put the burden of crafting an experience on me as a player. But then I thought of The Stanley Parable, and the 'events' idea immediately clicked. Even though they're less organic, you still replay The Stanley Parable primarily to see the different events that you can trigger along the way.
      The 'zero sum' part was also a great answer to the guy's question of how you can more or less incentivize making important characters dislike the player. It is frustrating in a game like Skyrim how you can go around, become best friends with everybody, and then arbitrarily choose a point later in the game to make a binary choice of what faction you side with. Becomes far less entertaining after one playthrough
