IIT: Goat HUDS
Step aside.
>>265528708
this series was amazing
played through each one, and DS1 was best at bringing the atmosphere and it had a pretty basic, yet polished combat system
DS2 felt more like its predecessor than DS3, however DS2 also felt like it brought more unnecessary stuff into the game and therefore felt less polished
DS3 was another type of game, one I actually enjoyed when playing with my friends co-op, it wasn't as good as DS1 in terms of bringing the atmosphere, but I feel like the combat and weapon crafting systems were pretty well thought out and implemented
DS1 >= DS3 >DS2
Fuck the MGSV UI
>>265528921
>3 better than 2
Well, that's a unique opinion
>>265528708
Dead Space really does have one of the best HUDs. It fits perfectly into the world and it's fantastic that Isaac reacts to it
it's like im piloting armed coffin
>>265528708
Are there any other games with a hud like in dead space?
>>265528921
DS3 was a leap back at literally every area from the predecessors.
Sound design, graphics, level design, combat, weapon balance, resource management, atmosphere, enemy design and story.
It was fucked the moment they focused on making it a co-op game meant to play with your friends.
>>265528708
I almost wish there was more to the Dead Space games or that there was a spinoff, as in it wasnt a horror game. Its got a great sci fi aesthetic and Id have liked to have seen a shoot shoot of some sort with those fire controls/hud/environments and suits.
Dont get me wrong its great as is but Id like to see another series with this level of detail and though process in designs.
>>265528708
I didn't like that they made the RIG back display holographic in later games. I always imagined that that tube was full of some not!bacta that was injected straight into your spine as you got hurt.
>>265529309
Dead Space 3.
Based Half Life
>>265529309
I know what you mean, as long as it wasnt actually a Dead Space game that did this I would like to see a 3rd person shooter with those gravity controls, suits and weapons.
>>265529104
I wish more games used Dead Space style HUDs.
Metro 2033 comes to mind.
You could only see your HUD if you checked some sort of checklist.
Some guns also had magazines where you could count how many ammos left you had. That was amazing.
Games without any HUD hindering the screen are always the best.
>>265529486
>>265529550
Fucking shit
>Goat Simulator's HUD hasn't been posted yet
Fucking hell /v/
>>265529413
>"COMBINE-Engineer"
U wot m8?
>>265529617
The only thing that bugged me about playing the Metro games on Ranger mode was that there was no way to manually check how much ammo you had left in a magazine.
It would have been really nice if I could say hold the reload button and Artyom would shift his gun to see how much ammo is left.
>>265529486
>>265529550
My god, Atelier series is so trash. Mana Khemia worst jrpg i played on my ps2, and i played almost all of them.
>>265529747
Is this a joke?
>>265529797
In the first game you could hit tab and it brought up your HUD.
In last light I honestly don't think anyone involved in the development had any idea what the fuck they were doing because there's no way to check your inventory outside of towns. It turns ranger mode into retard mode.
>>265529747
is it possible to see what you're doing or do you have to guess
Metroid Prime's hud was pretty ill
>>265529747
Both AC's and Watchdogs's HUDs are total shit
>>265529797
You could in Metro 2033. (By pressing TAB)
No idea about Last Light, tho.
>>265528373
>doesn't know the difference between an UI and a HUD
You should at least know what you are talking about before claiming Goat HUDS.
>uninvasive
>intuitive as fuck (click, drag&drop controls for backpack and environment interactions)
This game was ahead of its time.
>>265530225
>>265529997
I honestly don't remember being able to do that in 2033.
>>265530402
>>uninvasive
Maybe not when your not running it in 640x480
>>265530402
this shit can run in FULL HD?
>>265530429
Pressing TAB would make Artyom holster his weapon and bring up his checklist. Ammo count would then appear in the bottom right corner IIRC.
>>265529735
>Goat Simulator
b2reddit
>>265530573
Underrated game.
>>265530429
I don't even understand how you managed to play it without being able to see that shit, not being able to is such a fucking stupid design choice. I couldn't finish the second game because of it. Normal difficulties were too easy and ranger difficulties broke the game.
>>265530567
Well thanks for reminding me, at least if I ever decide to play it again now I'll know
>>265530573
Beat me to it
>>265529997
They had a concept for the HUD and thought in the last minute, right before they released the game:
>"Hey guys, people liked the first game and are hyped for this one. We can totally milk them! Any ideas how to make more money!?"
>-"Yeah, let's sell a harder mode with no UI! They'd totally like that!"
UI Guy that actually knows about the issues with this idea:
>"But guys, we don't have any way to display your inventory or your selected item (throwing knife, grenade, etc.)

Glad I wasn't a poor fucker.
>>265530562
The source code port calles Arx Libetantis can.
>>265530784
I feel bad for UI Guy, he probably got shutdown a lot during meetings.
>>265528373
Even though /v/ hates TLoU, you can't deny that simple HUD.
>>265531120
I was so hyped for this game until the downgrade was announced. The E3 demo was amazing.
>>265531120
I liked the backpack mechanic that game had
>>265531120
>he considers a simple hud goat tier
>Press Triangle to pickup-Prompt
>unecessary ammo display for a 4 shot shotgun
Dude, why? Why do you even need a HUD? A player can count. Give a player an identification that he can pick the item on the ground up and you don't need a fucking massive button prompt. He'll be smart enough to figure it out. Fucking neo-/v/ underagefags.
>>265531578
You seem upset.
>>265531762
Because I have to waste my time, discussing stuff with people that have no experience in playing games.
Last gen was the worst. Massive button prompts for simple actions became a thing during ps2/xbox era, but went on to become the standard during ps3/360. It's like the latest generation of players are considered retards that can't think for themselve.
>>265531895
You're choosing to waste your time anon, you're not being forced to stay in this thread.
Also, no one cares about your opinion.
>>265532049
>TLoU is now unironically considered GOAT
>TLoUs UI is now unironically considered a good design
I think it's time to leave and find another discussion plattform.
fucking shit
>>265532216
Feel free, friend.
>>265532420
I really enjoy the HUD in Dragon's Dogma.
>>265532420
Turn of the subtitles, there is no reason to have them on, also turn off the skills indicator, again, no reason to have it on.
All you should have on screen is the health and stamina bar.
>>265530573
The biggest problem with this game (in my opinion) is that no matter how little damage you take it makes it look like you're currently getting ripped to shreds. I have to constantly look at my health just to reassure that I just took 5 damage and not 50
>>265532216
>People dont agree with your opinion
>Throw a shit fit
Im glad you decided to leave.
Metroid Prime and Star Wars Republic Commando were fucking amazing.
Wipeout 3
>>265532420
I played DA with the HUD completely off. It was really immersive.
Custom colors aside, didn't have any other cropped vanilla-ish HUDs around
Say what you will about the game, but you can't deny the gorgeous user interface. HUD is pretty good, too.
>tfw pressing options ALWAYS brings up your Guardian screen with no hiccups
Probably my favourite part of the game.
>>265533730
it uses the GOAT sans-serif font, so yeah, that GUI cannot be bad
>>265533730
For all it's flaws, they did nail the GUI spot on.
>>265528373
>mfw playing the eraly 2000's games and selecting higher resolutions makes the HUD fucking small
>>265528528
I prefer DaS2's version just because it gets a few more things in there without making it messy in the process.
I think we're the only ones that played that game
>>265533984
I never understood why they didnt show weapons in Quake 3/live.
This here is actually the entire hud. Those squares at the top represent your health and they get faded out unless you get hurt or pick up health. All weapons have visible ammo-counters.
The developers talked about this and they said they wanted as little as possible on the screen to not hurt immersion and let players really dive into the game in a "what you see is what your character sees" kinda way. Back then i thought "yeah that makes sense, surely all games will follow this philosophy in the future because why wouldnt you?"
God if i only knew...
>>265534257
This game and King Kong game did HUD so damn well
>>265531578
What, you probably need graphics too you useless faggot. People can listen and hear what is going on around them. Give them a distinct thud when they walk into a wall and they can figure it out.
Fuckign casual grafixfags like you are the reason games suck these days.
>>265532903
MUTHA FUCKING OUTLAWS, GOAT SOUNDTRACK TOO.
You sir are my Nigga.
>>265530402
Ultima 9 had pretty much the same. It was a shit game but the inventory system and the way you could interact with the world was years ahead.
Inb4 Tresspasser health tits
>>265534374
>tfw you are watching a cutscene and then realize you're actually playing the game
>>265528373
So what's the difference between HUD and UI?
>>265528708
Why don't more games do this?
>>265534501
Because they'd be instantly accused of aping Dead Space.
>>265533704
>it's not an exaggeration.jpg
Well, it was taken at the worst possible moment
>standing on a weapon
>needing to reload
>team just capped the flag
>4 kills happened at the same time
>>265534501
A UI includes inventory and maps. Like the HUD in Fallout, then opening up the pipboy.
>>265534501
>So what's the difference between HUD and UI?
Can't touch vs. can.
What about HUDs that scale horribly?
>>265534257
Enjoy your constant need to use a pause menu for checking anything and everything that isn't your health or the ammo for that specific gun you have out, and a completely crippled game flow thanks to it.
>>265534663
See every early 2000s game
>>265534021
Especially Hitman
>>265534556
also cramped xbox resolution. been a while since i played any CoD but I'm pretty sure there was a lot more open space in the middle
>>265534715
checking what exactly? what aside from health or ammo do you need to know about in an fps?
>>265534501
>So what's the difference between HUD and UI?
you can navigate UIs
>>265534715
what else do you need to check? your killstreaks?
>>265534868
>>265535141
Map
Mission objective list
Items/grenades/health packs/whatever secondary stuff you have on you
Magazines and their ammo
Your other carried weapons and their ammo
And depending on specific game design there can be tons of other things that become vital.
>>265533826
What are they using?
>still no KH
KH hud is GOAT
Personally, I really liked Dishonored's HUD.
>>265535283
>Map
most fps are linear, if it' more open you can do it like in Far cry 2
>Mission objective list
Dedicated button or wou would have that on some paper
>Items/grenades/health packs/whatever secondary stuff you have on you
Check inventory button
>Magazines and their ammo
>Your other carried weapons and their ammo
Check your gun button, I think King Kong game did that
>>265535558
well its awful so I don't know how

I was watching the let's play for Jurassic Park:Trespasser
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0058A651EB882B48
It has similar lack-of-HUD. Ammo count is done via speech, life is done via a heart tattoo on Ann's left boob.
>>265528373
>That small icon change when style switch
I smiled.
>>265535930
>I was watching the let's play
>>265533643
That thing has psychologically conditioned me.
Whenever I see Doom's layout I'm ready for some serious shit to go down. Instead of fear mongering through headlines they should just quickly flash that across people's TV screens whenever happening on the news is going on.
>>265535283

>Mission objective list
you're too fucking spoiled, m8
>Items/grenades/health packs/whatever secondary stuff you have on you

you can have a popup UI for that. dunno if it's the case of that game
goat UI right here
>>265532903
this game was the tits
This isn't my final formAfter updates you can have so much more shit on screen

>_MISSION COMPLETE just in case your dumbass didn't realize you accomplished the objective you set out to.

>New Skills available
>UP on D-Pad open the Skills Tree in case you somehow forgot despite playing the game you fucking retard.
I get some of that is there for a point like the pointers near the people, but the rest is unnecessary shit.

>dat music

The HUD was cool too
>>265535558
I hate Dishonored's HUD, but its UI is great.
I love the whole look of the menus, weapon selection, and the artstyle in general
Every crysis had nice hud, plus choosing upgrades for weapons and suit was neat.
>>265536423
I puked a little in my mouth from all that clutter.

Your all shit.
>>265536157
Minimalist huds are great, its strange how FPSs of all things have ridiculous amounts of shit on screen compared to other games when thats the one genre that could get away with having none at all.
>>265536819

The crosshairs are slightly lowered in Halo as well
>>265538952
That still doesn't make it an acceptable design decision.
>>265537206

Some of the SC ones look good,if only they'd implement them into the fucking game.

>>265537412

>>265528963
I think MGS4 was the best.
Such a damn good UI. It's clean, simple, slick and flexible.
>>265542382
I actually do like this one as well.
>>265534556
Not to mention the Mashitima logo

That looks like shit.

Also has godly Inventory.

This game has the best HUD in all games ever, prove me wrongyou can't
>>265543691
Dead Space was already posted, and yes that is a pretty neat hud.
>>265531578
they actually do away with that information on the hardest difficulty, but you're reaching if you think that the bulk of players would prefer not to have that information up on screen.
>>265543691
Full version when?
>>265532739
>telling someone else how to play their own game
>>265544063
>Our next release will be a public beta distributed on Steam Early Access this fall (exact date to be determined).
Probably end of the year / early 2015
>>265544197
Why would you have subtitles on in an english speaking game. Why would you have your skills button mapping always on screen when you know the controls. Anyone with half a braincell would disable these things as soon as possible.
Do people actually put subtitles on when the game speaks the language you speak?
>>265544497
Sometimes it comes in handy, especially when some character mumbles or has really weird accent. And those moments when fucking ambulance passes by your home
>>265544497
I have subtitle for everything I can. It helps me remember names faster and also makes me a faster reader. Not everyone can be apart of the auditory master race like you, anon.
>>265545669
>apart
>>265532420
You can turn off parts of the HUD
looks pretty good
>>265544497
>Why would you have subtitles on in an english speaking game
Sometimes I miss words because of the speaker's accent or a sound effect or whatever. Also helps with spelling as a non native speaker.
>>265529747

casual pls go
honestly butchers bay was one of the best fps linear games ive played. plus the game had development and staff inside it no other game had in some time. vin diesel and xhibit, both acting out really well.
the hd version looks like BF4 and its fucking 2009 or something, the original game being 2003.
really, you gotta be fucking retarded casual sjw tumblrist to even consider finding bad things about this game.
