Please, Gods of Indie Devs, grace us with more games like Descent. Bless not the devs writing accurate physics, but those writing fun and exciting physics. Inspire them to make the moment to moment gameplay smooth and fun, not "realistic".
- usrusr 3y agoBut what content will fill all those triangles and pixels we have now? Descent happened at a time when the stars were perfectly assigned for their "there is no up and down" worlds (which are actually quite ironic, given the name). Game visuals were a hot mess of pixels even when they tried their best at being subtle and realistic, the screaming textures and geometries native to Descent fit right in. Increased visual fidelity kills the basic premise of this game world.
- cholantesh 3y agoI can't play Descent for more than a few seconds without succumbing to motion sickness, so I may be very wrong, but the cyberspace segments in the System Shock remake seem to map closely to what Descent is going for.
