StaceyPowers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I was watching Ken Levine talk about how he built BioShock up entirely around location. He started with the underwater city, and only then came up with the plot and characters. What are some other games designed that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that most games really have its own uniqueness when it's being designed. There may be some sort of similarities but it's definitely not going to be the same thing.

killamch89 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To be honest, I think this more of an exception than the rule or somewhat of a standard. Normally, developers tend to start with the characters and the story before adding the location at some point in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calm-gamer Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'd say Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy. You know, tropical paradise holiday destination, and space, the final frontier. Well, until Mario goes to the 5th dimension. I would say 4th but he probably did some time travel at some point. Maybe in one of the RPG's? I wouldn't know. Plus, he does exist in time in every one of his games. If he didn't it'd just be a picture, and those are hard to make into something interactive, cause interaction requires some form of movement, and that requires time. I feel like I'm overanalyzing this a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be a story that a character will get into once it's developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Probably Metro. I mean, it's even in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor1911 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Does Halo game will qualify here? I don't remember any other games as such. In Halo, you have to survive and escape from an alien planet, and the whole game revolves around the environment of that planet. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a first person shooting horror survival game is a genre that I love so much about Metro. I don't think I can get tired of playing it.
