Super Mario Bros was published in 1985 not 1972 but yeah.
Back in the 90’s, video games were new enough that you could forgive the film industry for not being familiar with them. It’s been 30 years. They still don’t get it.
They don’t play video games, they do coke or children. They live different lives than us poors.
I kinda stand with Yahtzee Croshaw on this: The video game industry is a lot bigger than the film industry and makes a hell of a lot more money, so filmmakers should probably do a little learning their place.
Got it, fire everyone after the film is completed.
Thats pretty much what already happens in films. Most people work on one of them and then have to be rehired for the next.
I mean, lets be fair here. Its both coke and children.
I know bartenders who do a lot of coke. That doesn’t take that much money.
You’re being too generous. In the 90s we were playing PlayStation and TV shows were still using the death sound from Atari Pac-Man
Yes, like GoldenEye. No one played it, and it was definitely not a popular FPS where you jumped on enemies. It’s an obscure game based on the obscure movie where James Bond jumped on every single woman he saw. /s
There have been more good Movie: The Video Game releases than Video Game: The Movie.
It’s maybe 50/50 on Movie: Game releases. The NES had a TON of really terrible movie-based games, some utterly unplayable.
The NES had a bunch of garbage software anyway. Look at Hydlide or King’s Knight.
Honestly, I’m more angry about the meme creator thinking that Super Mario Bros. was 1972.
1972 Mario would’ve been a literal room-size machine
There are actually very few games overall where you jump on enemies.
Assassin creed series
Church climbing simulator?
this is the real reason why the people of lemmy hate the industry
That’s right because playing Dark Souls, I had to insert my sanity in the coin slot every time I died and it said Thanks Obama.
Ah yes the torture boss fight.
At least on the first time or two.
Wonderful mod, that one
Yeah I got a good giggle out of it.
Philomena Cunk on video games
I’ve got a suspicion that this is one of those “say something intentionally stupid so that everyone jumps on the train to correct you and create engagement”.
Next up: post a math problem with no right answers and watch the post get a million comments (where only 10% notice the lack of a right answer)
It’s Cunningham’s Law in action.
Sod’s Razor
I couldn’t find your reference on google, could you explain what that is and how it relates or corrects my comment of Cunningham’s Law?
It was an amalgamation of sod’s law and occam’s razor, to be purposefully wrong
lol
That’s how everything in the internet works nowadays. I just can’t do it. Everyone (mostly bots I suspect) seem to want to get pissed off or feel themselves like correct or interesting.
I try to “vote with my wallet” on these things whenever I can.
You can’t just call people on the spectrum bots :P
Or someone says something evocative of their meaning but not fully fact-checked and cited because they aren’t a clanker.
There’s not all that much fact checking about something like that. It’s not like they claimed something and got one small detail wrong. It’s just a blanket statement that is unsubstantiated. Assuming they have common knowledge of the industry they’re in, it takes just one game that is not coin-operated and has some save functionality to make the original statement invalid.
Craig Mazin never said this at all. The closest source I could find on it is a seemingly bot generated article about a sarcastic tweet that someone made about him.
movies and tv shows are pretty simple – you had charlie chaplin and leave it to beaver and then the last of us on HBO.
i have a private school/ivy league education in film theory btw. i’m short for time, so excuse the grammer.
As far as I’m concerned Pong is the ONLY video game worth playing.
Pretty simple they hit the ball in your direction, you hit it back.
Truck simulator 2012 changed that.
You’re clearly missing the intricacies of the game. Not to mention the whole cold war story arc. I’d suggest educating yourself before replying…/s
I thought it was a simple football game with only the goalies and bouncy walls. But clearly it’s much more than that
all downhill from there… not
It went back and forth.
yup
Hahahaha yes!
I was listening to a podcast recently, New York Videogames Critics Circle, and they talked about The Last of Us 1 and 2 and Neil Druckman as if it was the first game to ever make the player feel emotions. Like not just that it did so successfully, but that it did it at all.
I got pretty fed up with always needing change to play Counter Strike.
The showrunner of TLOU was also the head writer for the game.
It was the other showrunner, Craig Mazin, who said this. He doesn’t work in vidya gaems Though I can’t find the original source where he said it. So could be a shitpost.
According to google, this popular meme is entirely fictional.
I do not trust google but i am skeptical all around
Edit with the real quote that inspired this:
“They didn’t shoot anything out of their eyeballs. They were just people. And that, in and of itself, is remarkably rare in games”
Combined with calling tlos “the greatest story that has ever been told in video games”
The Last of Sus?
Things have changed significantly since Super Mario Bros. was released. For example, vast majority of video games released these days feature no senseless violence toward turtles. Many even portray turtles in factual, chilly way! 🐢
I can’t think of any aspect of The Last of Us that didn’t appear in an earlier game. It was well enough done, but I don’t feel like it was innovative in any way.
Is that a real quote?
if you don’t think so, spend the two seconds it takes to search it out yourself
Nope doesn’t look like it, looks like it was someone being gamergate about videogames
The absence of evidence is no evidence of absence
It is however the absence of reason to assume it’s factual
In this case though this is real. Where it might have been said to not be real is the quote is often attributed to the director of the game, where as it was actually said by the screen writer of the show.
Alright, Gin Rummy
