Tfw you can't enter all these buildings

>tfw you can't enter all these buildings
I hope the sequel actually lets us explore more city interiors

I used to be mad that in games with cities, most of the buildings could not be entered. Then I thought about it some more: in real life, I probably wouldn't be interested to enter most of the buildings either. Most of them are just bland apartment buildings. Simply having building exteriors is often enough for a suitable atmosphere.

HUH
YEAH
HUH
YEAH
HUH

And suddenly I'm reminded of that brickhouse betty flash

There's like no reason for that. Just have the base and that's all you need.

There would be loading screens everywhere to deal with the amount of shit in any urban area like that.
Having a few explorable shops would be nice though. Tank top emporium etc.

Think of it this way;

There's a high-speed vehicle chase, you're on a motorcycle.

Imagine how fun and useful it would be to just drive right through a plate glass window to escape the cars chasing you, coming out a door on the other side.

Xenoblade X for the Wii U, I'm guessing.

Xenoblade Chronicles X

But I can already jump over the houses.

i cant hear you
i cant see you

OOOOHHHHH

Honestly.

What kind of budget in terms of dollars and programming time would be needed to make a game with a city setting in which every building could be entered, and how would the game even justify doing so?

1000 buildings. 10 rooms in each. 10000 rooms. Now let's come up with a reason to enter each of those 10000 rooms. Who's going to program that. What kind of task is going to be worth doing to enter 10000 rooms. Who is going to play a game where entering 10000 rooms is something that they have the free time in life to do.

People say the same thing about the GTA games and I do not fucking get it at all. It would all be the same empty shit or it would be so much busywork to explore that nobody would do it. Why does anyone honestly want this.

They don't let you enter those buildings because it's kind of pointless. Why would you just walk inside a random building?

In real life, people go into a pizza restaurant to eat and taste pizza. You can't taste pizza in a video game, and pizza has nothing to do with the story of the game.

Maybe in the future when technology is so good that we can make a bunch of pointless interiors without bogging down the game, then you can go inside of them all you want.

At first I hated this song, then I liked it ironically, and now I like it unironically.

>pizza has nothing to do with the story of the game
You literally cannot finish the story without delivering pizza, and it directly figures in several side quests. But otherwise yes, you're right.

can someone explain the ending, how are the minosomes active? and who wrecked the main controlling servers?

That means the only modeled parts need to be corridors that you can drive a motorcycle through.

APB had some buildings with open doors because inside were kitchens, warehouses, storefronts or other "fun" rooms to have shootouts in.

There's no reason to open up every room in a 30 unit condo unless you're playing a real-estate sim. If the game's a shooter, open up the pool, bar and garage. If the game's a racer, open up the mini-mall and maintenence tunnels. If the game's a story game, open up character's apartments.

There's no reason to waste energy pulling out areas that do not enhance the experience. In XCX; I would have liked to see shops open, but I see very little other use to the buildings that were closed. Perhaps the church and the water treatment plant, but you'd again need to find reasons to populate them.

To me its not about "tasks" its more about immersion and just exploring things for the hell of it. Sometimes it would be neat to enter a building and just see signs of people having lived their lives in a particular way.

>someday I wish we'll have enterable buildings in the whole city :(

GTA 4's online already exists newfriends

Alvis.
Gravity.

I think you're a little confused, dude.

I was only suggesting adding alternate paths through buildings/stores.

At what point in driving through a building with a motorcycle would I have to stop and open every door to every room? I was more thinking of the Love Fist mission from Vice City, except expanded to include more than just the three buildings.

how the fuck is anyone meant to work that out

sequel never

To do what ? speak to more shitty npcs ?
there's already plenty of those user

Well the second one is pretty obvious. The first one is conjecture based on evidence, where 'Alvis' is 'Whatever Mira's local storage is'.

Get yourself checked for schizophrenia user

They might actually make it smaller this time desu. I think they made it as big as they can with X to see how far it could go, if I recall. I mean, do you really need it to get bigger at this point. Thank god for the Skells. I hope Breath of the Wild is smaller since you're not stuck on a different planet with Superman jumps.

It's pretty big.
