Can someone explain their logo for me?
All I can see is a Chinese whale with a roll of newspaper in its mouth
>>336131846
It's a guy looking through a looking glass
never ever

I can't make out any part of that supposed guy
>>336132187
Good riddance.
>>336132401
He's wrong though. The thing on the right is a guy's face and the tube is a telescope.
>>336131926
>>336129539
I thought looking glass means mirror?
like in Alice?
>>336132602
It's starting to make sense now, I can see a stretched out minimalistic face.
I think the thing at the bottom is a mouth.
That's honestly a really shitty logo, but it might just be the outdated early 90s aesthetic

Easily the best game studio of all time. The next tier, we start getting into the flawed masterpieces phase- Black Isle, Troika etc. With LGS, their games were simply perfect. The first Thief is still, to me, the greatest game of all time.

I never played it but what did their flight simulator do that was different?
>>336133794
No idea, never played that one tbqhwyf. I'm talking about Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Terra Nova and Thief.
>>336133916
I played and loved all of them, that's why I was so curious.
Anyone got the image of ea games walking bioware to a pit with the corpses of all the debs and then shooting bioware in the head

>what did their flight simulator do that was different?
Wasn't really "different" it was just more advanced for it's time. Far, far superior to it's competitors (Microsoft Flight Simulator for example) but also had high system requirements.
So, you know, the usual Looking Glass thing. Ahead of it's time and high system requirements.

Sad to think that I could probably run the thing on my phone in the background these days.

Because Looking Glass were high-tier professionals. Half of their team were MIT graduates or equivalent and the other half were experts from other fields who were interested in game making, like the Brosius couple. They were largely overly qualified people who liked video games and wanted to push the medium forward.

Might be too modern for this thread but Neverland Company Inc.
Rune Factory isn't on the level of stuff like Thief but it was such an amazing series imo, and unlike a lot of other game series it just got better with each game. Now it's unclear if the series will ever continue.

There were some geniuses but also a lot of highly inexperienced people at LG. But, they were given creative freedom in a company that was willing to try new things even if it might put them out of business, and that's really how they got good results. At least, that's what one of them said in some interview.

Shit, time has not been kind to the gaming industry.
Fucking $50 million for that heap of shit?
>>336142153
Honestly if it was a new IP it wouldn't have been so poorly received, but the fact that it falls so short of Thief I and II and is just so derivative and barely took any notes from the original games is why it gets so much hate.
The game is mechanically sound and is "good" by modern standards but it just feels like another soulless derivative modern game with a couple mechanics taken from Thief, not an actual Thief game.
