This is as close a we get

me

not even fucking close

We don't have one because vidya isn't that good yet.

Unless we have a Dr. Strangelove

Maybe someone like Fumito Ueda?

LiteralIy reddit: the director (along with Tarantula)

Suda51

There’s like 2 auteurs in vidya, and even naming them would throw the thread into chaos because of fanboys. Meanwhile in film, there are dozens.

Suda51 or Kojima. Maybe Taro

Just name them faggot

Literally Whubrick?

David Cage of course.

>tfw there's a spanish youtuber with the same face as Kubrick
youtu.be/PlyAir-hG8M

Warren Spector and Will Wright

If the answer's name isn't Japanese it's cute BUT WRONG.

>Disney hack and dollhouse man
Nice try.

Plus Sid Meier, Julian Gollop, Shinji Mikami, Hideki Kamiya, Suda51, plenty others.

Epic Mickey was really good.

>all these names
For once I agree with the smug anime girl pics

Sim City, Deus Ex, Civilization, and X-COM are all tours de force in gaming.

Sid Meier barely has anything to do with most of the games that use his name.

This.

me 2

I don't know. Think of something decent but massively overrated by the mainstream.

Now, maybe.

No sane AAA publisher would've let Stanley Kubrick helm a game, it'd have to be a one-man-team indie game. So like what, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Cave Story or something like those.

They're all made by more people than the aforementioned and said people haven't made more good stuff since then.

Not born yet.

They've all been expanded since the original creators' works but they remain influenced by them nonetheless and the original works are basically all that you need to qualify them as "auteurs" in gaming.

>you now realize he was only lead designer on the first Civilization

Chris Avellone.

fpbp if you think otherwise you are reddit.

There is not a single video game that comes close to anything Kubrick has done.

An untalented hack who made nothing but style over substance trash in the entire course of his career?

Suda51, I guess?

Agreed.

I think he's more pic related. Him or Sweary.

TAKE THAT BACK

Don't worry user, the irony of you posting a picture of Bowie while accusing someone of being an overrated style-over-substance hack wasn't lost on me.

Why? Kubrick was hardly indie, he worked in the hollywood mainstream making highly commercial films. Hardly anathema to AAA.

The AAA video game industry is not into taking risks.

But OP's pic was Stanley Kubrick, not Joss Whedon.

This, because his presence solely makes the game.
His writing, sublime.

...

Yeah I know, the AAA game industry is a vastly different place though, that's what I was getting at.

Maybe these days but not back in the mid 2000's. Capcom let Suda make Killer 7.

Leave.

t. manchild who just discovered Dark Souls yesterday and hasn't watched a single Kubrick film in his entire life

>and programmer and producer

Plus:

>One positive aspect both [Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley] had taken from Railroad Tycoon was the idea of multiple smaller systems working together at the same time and the player having to manage them.[9] Both Meier and Shelley recognized that the complex interactions between these systems led players to "make a lot of interesting decisions", and that ruling a whole civilization would readily work well with these underlying systems.[10] Some time later, both discussed their love of the original Empire computer games, and Meier challenged Shelley to give him ten things he'd change about Empire; Shelley provided him with twelve. Around May 1990, Meier presented Shelley with a 5-1/4" floppy disk which contained the first prototype of Civilization based on their past discussions and Shelley's list.[10]

Railroad Tycoon, by the way, was entirely the brainchild of Meier and Shelley. So you could name both Meier and Shelley on that list, as they were basically the minds behind both game.

first post objectively the most correct post
It's about the dedication in their craft, and the obsessive detail about it
otherwise they have vividly different ways of directing media, and of course Kubrick didn't make vidya,

>hurr durr what's the [insert guy from completely different medium here] of video games
Off yourself and your shit thread.

Dark Souls is very, very far from art.

Then who's closer dipshit?

who's saying vidya is art you colossal faggot
vidya should be vidya and nothing more

What does that have to do with anything you pretentious faggot?

so then the shiggy is the Spielberg of vidya

Shigeru Miyamoto unironically, same work ethic

That Kubrick's movies have worth and Dark Souls has none.

lol okay buddy

I agree, Demon's Souls was better.

what are you even implying faggot
Film is better than Vidya in consideration of cultural and artistic value. this is a known fact
but not because of that you can't enjoy games as much as a good movie, they are very different things, there's no real measurable point where to value them in the same scale.
what a brainless retard

We are still in the "silent movie" era of video games.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>dedication in their craft, and the obsessive detail about it
>dark souls 1's infamously shitty second half
>bloodborne doesn't even feel like a complete game until the DLC
>dark souls 3 is full of asset reuse from bloodborne
>""""dedication""""
Comparing Miyazaki to Kubrick is a straight up insult. Seldom game companies are lazier than From Software.

...

you talk about it like the film industry has reached some kind of eternal perfection and maturity, both industries crank up disgusting crashgrabing pieces of shit into the mainstream and people buys like there's nothing else to watch or play

In a sense. Once VR is good then everything we play now will be called "flat games" or something to that effect.

>vydia gaem
>art
lmao, it's children toys

>you share the same gene pool with these people

>Who is the Stanley Kubrick of video games?
Todd.

well of course the definition falls short because vidya is vidya you retard, we're just playing a role-inclination game here, but hey if you want to niptick whatever you're a Sup Forumstard after all

>dark souls 1's infamously shitty second half
Because they ran out of time and budget

>bloodborne doesn't even feel like a complete game until the DLC
BING

>dark souls 3 is full of asset reuse from bloodborne
Maybe thats because Bandai Namco forced From to make it and that Miyazaki clearly did not want it to be made in the first place?

Man putting Kubrick in the OP really attracted all of the pretentious Sup Forums brainlets lmao

>It's about the dedication in their craft, and the obsessive detail about it
otherwise they have vividly different ways of directing media
Do fan creations count? because either this or project m for my book

that's my boy michael, all shiny and fun with no real value
they even look alike

What did he mean by this?

Who is the Lucas of vidya?

I think we're past that considering silent era was the peak of film making.

man what a beautiful love letter this game is

Todd Howard

warren spector

Not a single one of the flaws he mentioned are inherent only to vidya, you literal, unironic 70 IQ brainlet. There do exist games close to Kubrick's work in terms of the meticulous craft and artistic expression alone, but there's no way in HELL that a half-finished, slashy-dashy-knights-demons-magic action romp comes even fucking CLOSE.

Literally Kojima. Like its pretty much 1:1

kojimbo

>There do exist games close to Kubrick's work in terms of the meticulous craft and artistic expression alone
And yet you haven't named anything yet.

>but there's no way in HELL that a half-finished, slashy-dashy-knights-demons-magic action romp
You haven't even played DaS, have you? The only "unfinished" area is Lost Izalith.

Kojima isn't a sperg like Lucas is though. He also appreciated input from his staff. Lucas is a control freak.

Oh jesus, fuck off. VIDEO GAMES ARE ART!

God, these threads are literally made so you people can just smell your own farts.

you can't compare since video games are not art

But when I look at the television I wanna see me staring right back at me.

Video Games are like movies.

Some movies are art pieces or stylized works while some, mostly big budget big theater releases, are made for genre specific entertainment.

Artsy games aren’t usually very entertaining and entertaining games usually aren’t very creative.

American McGee?

I don't understand why this subject always confuses the fuck out of everyone.

Art is the stellar examples within a certain measurement. So if we're talking about video games then art is the most stellar examples of them. Then you can break it down further like what are the most stellar examples in each genre.

If you're talking cross medium, then the measurement is creative effort combined with enjoyment.

>I don't understand why this subject always confuses the fuck out of everyone.
Because games are for kids.

>Art is what I say it is!!!!

Sorry brainlet but art has an actual definition that you pretentious faggots always seem to want to ignore

Art: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Why does this have anything to do with art? It's to do with being an auteur.

>Art is what I say it is!!!!
But that wasn't implied, retard.

Right and games fall under that definition.

Unironically this.

>"Art is the stellar examples within a certain measurement"
Fuck off

You're misreading that line. Try it again.
