Got to play a little bit of this at PAX East, it's pretty fun. I like the art style (I'm a huge sucker for low-poly) and the gameplay seems alright. Timed hit kinda stuff, but a little different than the usual "press a right before landing" kinda thing.

Can't really speak to the larger story, or the characters personalities, but I'm optimistic. The voice acting is okay, nothing stood out. It seems charming and possibly fun. I'll definitely check out reviews of the full game as launch approaches. The dev's wife was there, she and I talked for a bit about the game. She's very nice.

Post-Modern really doesnn't exist in video games because they, as a medium, have not evolved far enough to really be considered post modern in design in concept. To quickly sum up what Post-Modernism is the furthering of themes that debate what reality is, and the objective truths of a persons reality, instead approaching reality on a case by case basis, often this is approached by looking at the framing devices of a story and calling them out, or by having a character realize he is in a story and wondering what that means for himself as a charterer in a story.

tl;dr
Post-Modern = Subjective look at life

MSG2 has a post-modern plot, and can be argued to be the ultimate Post-Modern videogame with Raiden's character and place in the plot in relation with the player, EArthbound too could be seen as a Post-Modern plot in a video game.

How this game is a Post-Modern game I really have no clue and have no way to play the game to find out. I could make a snap judgement based on the art, but I can assume that because they call out that their game is Post-Modern that it is in fact not Post-Modern.

Much like when you call yourself a hipster you are not a hipster. Hipster is a Post-Modern approach at Atheistic, appearance and culture. So that in being an outcast but at the same time being trendy and ahead of the curve you are recognizing the framing plots of your aesthetic and refusing any label that's put on you no matter how deserving you are of it. So that when you are called out for being a hipster you and accepting it, you are defeating the Post-Modern theme of your style and thus are not worthy of the title.


>>336075907
This is just bait about what I assume would be Post-Modern Culture, but it fails to recognize the leading theme of post-modernity that whatever is post-modern cannot be defined in a lump categorization, if anything the Man in the comic is the Post-Modern Man while the woman is a Modern woman.

It's not that Raiden is a whiney bitch, it's that Raiden is the player trying to emulate Snake. You are playing to be Solid Snake, but instead you are given the literal interpretation of YOU, a person raised on video game simulations thrown into a war zone to try and succeed.

However the ending is really what people consider post modern, as Raiden throws away his dog tags, which are representative of your control over Raiden.

Also some people consider EVA PM, but I don't really see it as such excluding the last two episodes.

I have really mixed feelings seeing this trailer. If it really does take place in the 90's Why does the one girl say 'Drop the bass'

The music is a mixed bag, sometimes I liked it before it just takes a sudden left turn.

The animations are jarring, I agree it doesn't appeal at all.

>>336093607
This cannot take place in the 90's no way, so much of this plot focuses around recent trends. Hipsters existed in the 90's but they didn't buy vinyl, they were more into being as weird and outsider as possible. 2007 is a much more believable date, the Vinyl resurgence began, the lumber jack phase was in it's incubation period, much like man buns in 10', I think the elevator chick was 2013 but it could have happened at any point really. The Asian chicks style would make much more sense. The only person who looks '90s' is the Hula hoop chick, the black guy looks more late 80's than anything.

You're thinking of 2002-2006 during the goth craze

Emo style came after that, 2004? Whenever American Idiot came out that was when it hit mainstream, and died with the rise of Internet culture, about 2010.

2000's style was very much still end of 90's, Spaghetti straps, halter tops, low cut skirts, and neon hair dye. Post-9/11 is when you can say Goth really sky rocketted due to everyone being depressed constantly.

Undertaint started the hip new meme to copy Earthbound. This is only the first of many.

Now watch in horror as one of the greatest and beloved classic rpgs is brutally raped again and again. Its fucking over.

i really wish Mother stayed as something too underground for many because ever since they notice the game exist (thanks tumblr), all the so called rpg indie games copy it left and right but fail miserably to be Mother because they want to put their OC

Blame Smash. Earthbound was originally a huge flop outside of Japan, and it would have stayed buried and obscure if Ness hadn't shown up in that cash grab fighter.

I mean lumber jack trend, grunge was about the lack of style, Lumberjack is about the contrast between a dirty lumber jack and a clean well washed pretty boy.

The most important thing about grunge was not growing a beard but maintaining a stubble/goatee.

People bought loads of fucking vinyl in the ninties, but hipsters bought CDs, this is an important distinction to make. I remember my friend in 1998 trying to convince me that the pops and crackle of vinyls were so out dated and that CDs were a far better sound, that same friend who sold all his vinyl now has a new vinyl collection and maintains that vinyls actually have the best sound.

>>336095528
Him buying and using vinyl directly clashes with his described character >>336093607

His character and his dress is of the 2010-now hipster, not a 1990's hipster. 90's hipsters where a cluster fuck of ideas and ideals, he might have maybe existed as a lazy Grunger but in the nineties Hipsters weren't as easily Identifiable as today, google a Nick Cave concert pic related is more their style habits.

>>336095740
I really want to give it a chance, I probably will have the sound track before the game, my friend is permanently borrowing my Wii U right now.

I watched the trailer for this the other day and quite honestly I find it offensive to all of my senses.

I see this being remembered only as a colossal joke right alongside the CDI Zelda games

I kind of was looking forward to the game when I heard about it, and the designs are a little meh but not bad enough to make me lose interest. The gameplay looks too damn slow, though, even for a turn based RPG.

>>336096290
Okay let me break down fashion for you.

MC has a Button up flannel with a neck, unbuttoned with a pixel art graphic tee underneath, thick square rimmed glasses with a solid bridge, trimmed beard, combed+styled hair, and pressed jeans. All of this is 2010's style, some of it is Grunge call backs.

Neutral Milk Hotel's style hardly even resembles that, their clothing is more the norm for the 70's revival of the late 90's than 'hipster' anything categorizing Hipster style is incredibly hard to do before 2004 when it really took off because no one knew what a Hipster was other than people who went out of their way to be weird and vintage.

>>336096815
It's because they have money behind their brand, they probably have investors behind what they made and they could afford printings for a physical release.
>>
>>336096815
Do you think there is some vidyaGod that decides this? Those games didn't get physical releases because the devs were too jew
That's it.
You don't even know if this game is shit yet anyway

>The Postmodern RPG subtitle came from the fact that we wanted to convey that it was an RPG as when people saw just a screenshot of the game they thought it was a "Hipster Simulator." YIIK: An RPG didn't really have any punch to it... so, as the game was influenced by Haruki Murakami, and David Foster Wallace (in terms of subject matter), we decided to push the genre of story telling in the title. Some things to note though. The game is quite coherent, we didn't just call it postmodern because it wasn't lucid, and we wanted to justify how 'weird it is.' none of that nonsense. The game's battle mode (which isn't featured properly in this trailer, as this is a really old look at the game before we finished the battle mode and when the game was in pre-alpha) is all about genre blending, so it's a pastiche of other game genres. Platformers, puzzle games, action game, rhythm games, as each attack has it's own minigame that is unique that comes from a different genre of gaming. As for how the narrative is postmodern, the game uses intertextuality to tell it's story. It revolves around a message board known as ONISM1999, which the hereoes are users of. This is updated as the game goes on, and the player will often interact with NPCs through the games message board. Not unlike how House of Leaves is about a book, about a movie, that doesn't actually exist. There are various other things, but this will hopefully be enough of an explanation. And of course, it's also used so people ask this question and notice the game! :P

WarioWare is post modern as well then

>>336097162
He does fit in for no good reason. If he dressed like that in 1990 he WOULD be branded a hipster, but not because he fit in with Hipster trends of the time but because he was so weird and outsider that he fit what would be considered Hipster. I

It's not Autism to care about atheistic and design, it's called appreciating a medium. It's pretty sad there's an entire aesthetic out there right now devoted to actual 90's design and they couldn't even steal from it to make their game.

>>336097227
I really want to see the whole plot of the game now because to self-describe your story as DFW tier is bordering on egotism

None of the characters except Hula Hoop girl fits the nineties, try actually living through them as an adult. But if it's ninties why does she have a Blu tooth headset and a MP3 Player? Maybe walkman? on her arm?

Blond kid and brown haired boy also would fit in only because they have such generic designs they could fit into any time period between 85 to today.

Postmodernism is summarized as incredulity toward metanarratives. This basically means you doubt or criticize where a story is coming from, and do so from within the story you are writing.

The problem with /lit/ is that it's a slow board that prefers to talk about the concepts of writing and meme books. And that it has the shitposting infection that's crippling 4chan thanks to retards think every board is /b/

I actually sit around in Critique threads now and then and give out loads of feedback. Most of the time if you give out criticism you get it back, just be fair.
