I think this is because Bethesda dudes are not sure what to do with them if you actually let them surrender. Do they just run off and despawn? What about the loot? If it just turned them into a neutral NPC, then you'd have a bandit walking around being friendly, which doesn't make much sense either.

You can say all you want about BF4 but the animations in that game are the most gorgeous I've ever seen in an FPS. I think Metro Last Light is on par graphics wise but the overall impression is so underwhelming when you consider the animations. BF4 is like the opposite of that.

The PS1 had a hardware reverb effect. Pressing pause would obviously halt sound playback, but the reverb effect was unaffected, giving it that echo. The same happens whenever reverb effects are generated using hardware or a dedicated sound engine that's unaffected by pausing.
In other words, it's not necessarily an intentional thing, but a side effect of hardware acceleration

>>277668749
There is no option to shoot or not to shoot him, its just a cutscene,
>>277656103
funny thing is, this is much easier with tracker and midi music. Games did it decades ago. Then the shift to mp3/ogg/cdda happened and the feature disappeared.
An example from 1994 is the music in Magic Carpet, adding a sound layer whenever action happened.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3zsPl4Ampw
Another famous example is Deus Ex, which had action and idle tracks in a tracker format, and hence allowed a smooth transition between the two at any moment.

not even accidently. In Doom enemies would be implemented with intentional aggression, towards not just the player, but anybody that attacks them. It's not just possible but actually useful to position yourself between two enemies, dodge a shot, and then get out of the way as the two battle each other till death.

>>277669256
Neural networks are simply a learning mechanism. They do nothing on their own, they just help to come to "conclusions" for given inputs. These conclusions need to be mapped to "actions", things the characters actually end up doing. These actions are scripted.
Simple example: if an enemy detects gun shots, is not hit, can't figure the origin and has cover nearby, they will take cover. This "will take cover" is the scripted action. Figuring out that taking cover is the appropriate action, is the neural net. The gun shots and lack of detection are inputs to the neural net.
Also, the network needs initial training.

>>277669251
It's funny because from a programming viewpoint it can be simpler. Just mark anything that harms you as a danger, and you're done. Doesn't matter if that danger was the player or another character. Good AI puts the enemies into a position that's somewhat "equal" to the player, in that it is only aware of its immediate surroundings, has health, has weaponry (unlimited fireballs are a weapon). It's literally yet another player, just controlled by the computer.

Probably my favorite thing about that game.

I'm replaying through May Payne 1 and 2 just because I remember little moments like this littered throughout the game, and if someone DIDN'T LIKE moments like this they could SKIP BY THEM if they wanted to, unlike a RECENT THIRD PERSON SHOOTER I REMEMBER.

That would be detrimental to faster paced FPS though, like Serious Sam. There's a reason there wasn't a reload button until 3, and even in 3 there's an achievement for not using any of the new features, including reloading.

>>277672468
rotateable where/when?
>>277672562
rifling makes physical sense for projectiles, regardless of time period
>>277672592
as in inspection options in inventory menus
>>277672562
are you saying thats good or bad

It's good. This is a thread about little things in vidya we love is it not?

Hordes of the Underdark, though I guess convince may be the wrong word. It's less convincing and more controlling their soul.
What makes it better is he's the lord of the 8th level of hell.
>fire spreads

well i was confused because you said a "future setting" and i thought you were implying laser guns or some such thing

>Useless animation buttons in roaming RPGs
Some games with a lot of walking have a useless button that does something. Like in Ar Tonelico, you have a jump button that you can spam as many times as you want. Ni no Kuni has a purchasable 'upgrade' that adds a useless jump button, which the game even tells you about. But I still bought that shit in a heartbeat. Or Transistor's flourish animation, although I would've appreciated more things to do while traveling in that game.
It does literally nothing for the gameplay, but it makes the tediousness of walking around bearable and even enjoyable. Something to do with my right hand while I'm just running around with my left thumb is always welcome.

Donkey Kong Country does it.

When I was playing max Payne 3 and got to the airport part and that song came on I got so hyped
