I created this thread because another thread here was turning out into a glorified chit chat thread. Still the conversation deserves a change to keep going but not there as it's going way off topic and that thread has run it's course. So i'll be moving said conversation here for it to continue as it's an interesting topic i'd like to participate in aswell, always nice to remanence about the good old days. So @Kane99, @Heatman @Clasher and @Justin11 feel free to continue said conversation here and for anybody else feel free to chimp in with your favourite gaming memories when you were younger.

Source of story here - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/breaking-bad-creator-says-he-tried-to-make-a-video-game-adaptation/1100-6506313/ In all honesty, I would have bought a Breaking Bad game day one if it was ever a reality. And according to Vince Gilligan himself, he had contemplated making a video game based off his hit show. He also thought of the idea because of how popular GTA is, and he figured Breaking Bad as a video game would work in that way. He even asked his team about getting a hold of the creators (Rockstar) into making a Breaking Bad game. How cool would that have been? I doubt it would have happened, but I could see someone making a Breaking Bad game. I just don't know how it would work in the BB story. Maybe it can be about a side character working for Gustavo Fring. There's a lot that could probably be done. And who's to say it has to be a BB game, it could be a spin-off in that world, kind of like what Better Call Saul is. But they can tie the game into that story in some way. What do you think?

Another thing, if a person is really into violence and murder, I think they would be very interested in games with violence in it. Now before anyone says "games don't cause violence" i'm not saying that. I'm saying that I think violent video games, may be of interest for violent people. But you could probably say that about any form of media, as I imagine someone who is very violent or into violence, would also be into movies, tv shows and other forms of media about it too. But yeah, I think there are people out there who love violence in the games, because they have that personality. I don't want to make this about violent video games though, as I don't think a video game can make one violent. But I can see people who are like that, being into that type of media even more. Does that make sense?

Oooh I like that idea. I believe some games do exactly that, they figure out your playstyle and what mistakes you make and will sometimes use them against you. I know it's not necessarily the same, but look at Left 4 Dead for example. I think they had some of the best AI, because when things are slow, they sometimes ramp it up. The AI is also random, so each time you play, it's not always the same way. Hordes come out at different times, tanks will spawn in whenever the hell they want to, or when you're going too slow. I wish more games utilized the Left 4 Dead AI, because I think it could create some unique experiences.

For me, I think that having enemies that evolve in the game based on your playstyle makes a lot of sense in making them more difficult and have you look for better new ways to beat them. In MGS V, the system tracks your playstyle and have the enemies adjusted to it. If you use lots of headshot kills, they would start wearing helmet, if you usually attack in the night, they start wearing googles and so on. It's a good mechanics that makes enemies become difficult and challenging to deal with.

I think that's a misconception on the part of Justin, though I haven't used the VR headset I know for a certain that you aren't confined to a space because how on Earth are you going to be able control the characters that way.

At this point it's all just for money. They can create new fancy character models and do some work on gameplay, but it didn't need to happen. It's the same thing that happened with the Spider-man remaster. Why did they have to change the character model? To me, that just screams cash grab, because I don't think people care too much for another HD upscale of a game that already looked damn good even on the PS3. Yeah it's nice to get an HD upscale/remake of a popular game, but I feel like it's way too soon for a lot of games. It's just recapturing the glory of the game as much as possible. Once a PS6 comes out, who's to say they won't make yet another remaster of the first game? They could also be using this time to develop a new game in the series, or a new franchise even. I know that a lot of these remasters are tossed to smaller studios, but still, I feel like those smaller studios could be tasked with making something they really want to make. That's another thing, developers tasked with making remasters and remakes, must hate it, because it takes them away from developing brand new ideas.
