StaceyPowers Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 What is an example of a time a video game developer cut corners and thought you wouldn’t notice? For instance, in BioShock games, I noticed they reuse the city skylines of Rapture and Columbia, i.e. if you look out of the window to your left, and then the window to your right, you will see repetition in the scenery. I don’t understand how they could not think the gamer would discover this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 They cut corners and if you pay attention when you play you can see how much they cut. It really just feels like a "street racer" version of Forza Horizon. Except copied, pasted, and extremely watered down for "satisfaction" reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniekwe Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Everything in the latest version of FIFA games. They don't even care that gamers are well aware of their level of repetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I think soccer is a simple and straight forward sport, there isn't much FIFA could add other than what is already existing in the real world of soccer. The graphics of FIFA 22 looks really cool in my opinion I think that's where the game developers pay more attention on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It's pretty obvious with a lot of games nowadays - Anthem by EA, Fifa, Ubisoft with Ghost Recon Breaking point. I could go on by this would be a whole christmas list if I kept mentioning games that cut corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so predictable that they even copied the same bugs and glitches from the previous release to the new ones and you tell me that they are not being unreasonable with how did make the game.

I don't think Playstation actually copied exact what was on FIFA 21 to FIFA 22 there was some noticeable changes as well. But I'm sure about esports or the other developers of soccer games. And besides I play more of PlayStation soccer games than that of any other consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's possible for them to cut off the release of FIFA 23, I would be more happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are already at the end of the line with their last release and you even want the last release not to be released. Please be merciful 😂.

Scorpion Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 That's a great observation! Many developers reuse assets to save time, but it can break immersion. "Mass Effect" had similar issues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
