ITT: Games that could only have been made in a specific timeframe.

This criteria applies much more to movies than games I think, you could still have Manhunt today but they would never make something like Zulu or The Last Samurai without seriously changing the story beats.

OPs pic is literally “when you find out you fucked with the wrong guy too late”. It’s like cinema Punisher on speed.

Manhunt would be easier to make nowadays. People are way more used to games being violent and gore

more like mancunt lol

>>713541687
On a superficial level? Sure, the skeleton would be the same. But the actual meat of it just wouldn't work nowadays.
>nobody even remembers what a Video Nasty is anymore
>the theme of hidden depravity doesn't work in an era where even the homeless own smartphones with video camera function
>modern widespread awareness and discussion of the rich and powerful engaging in horrific depravity robs the game of its punch regarding the overarching setting and conflict
>as Welcome To the Room showed, the idea of snuff films morphed into Red Rooms in the Deep Web in modern times so the thematic structure is not the same
>it wouldn't be so shocking given that, as >>713542102 pointed out, it's much more common for games to be viscerally violent and gruesome as well as deal with darker themes
>riding on the above, meta/deconstructionist narratives are dime a dozen nowadays so Manhunt would not be anywhere as impactful

And on a more minor note:
>there's an all-Latino gang made of drug-addled Satanists and another gang of fat retards/pedos
>a black man is one of the main villains

>>713542732
This is it.

>>713542732
Why?

>>713541492 (OP)
Everything that doesn't have gays in it.

>>713543917
Have you not played the game? The fact that it's a GTA-like set in a school would be enough to make the retards on twitter froth at the mouth with rage, and that's not even mentioning the other various politically incorrect themes and jokes:
>Making fun of gays
>Fat shaming (Eunice being a comic relief character)
>Little people jokes
>Being able to beat up, bully & sexually harass other students
>Kissing girls to get extra health
>The missions "Paparazzi", "Miracle on Bullworth St", "Discretion Assured", "Panty Raid", amongst others
>Implying that Jimmy is going to date his teacher
>The nerd faction using a very obviously Nazi-inspired flag
That's just off the top of my head. There's probably other stuff too.

>>713544623
you can also kiss dudes for health

>>713544623
Ok, thanks, that was thoroughly informative. Now you made me want to play this game. Any good torrents? Does it run well on modern computers?

>>713544910
The game crashes a lot, but there's a patch for it. It's on sale for about $4 on steam atm.

>>713544910
Steam version + widescreen and silent patches, all explained on this page
https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp#bully

>>713544910
its on archive dot org but i remember it running like ass years ago even with bug patches and it probably is even worse now with windows 11. xbox would probably be the best way to play if you have one

Where's all the ultra violent snuff games from indies? Is it because Steam wouldn't allow it? Or is the genre too taboo from indie devs? Puppet Combo never really gets very gorey.

>>713544910
Honestly I'd say emulate the OG and use the 60 fps patch. The original had better lighting and a grittier vibe that the scholarship edition changed. The extra content in that version is also kind of mediocre.

>>713541492 (OP)

>>713545402
>Puppet Combo never really gets very gorey.
That's just not true.

even gta3 is racist as fuck and couldn't me made today

>>713548450
Go ahead and tell me how something like Senran Kagura could be made today when all four major gaming storefronts have policies specifically forbidding its type of content.

>>713548971
That was the censored version, by the way. Guess which ones weren't? Xbox (in a very rare case) and Nintendo (in a case that became more common as time went on).

>>713542732
/thread/

>>713541492 (OP)

>>713545402
You got some like your Fear and Hungers and House of Velez. There just isn't an interest in guro stuff these days in general besides the hyper autists willing to do it.

>>713542732
>>713544623
when this game came out they had to put up some homemade signs around it at blockbuster saying that it doesn't glorify bullying. moreso than GTA, manhunt or whatever else it was the one that made soccer moms upset

>>713541492 (OP)
Such a weird one too.
It came out way after the hype and concern about "snuff movies". It came out before torture porn movies were all over the screens. But it came out after VHS was dead.

I still loved it though, and still do, and the sequel, if a bit less.

>>713542732
That's the stuff. Still hate Rockstar for cancelling the sequel to make GTA 5 mp dlc or whatever.

>>713541687
They would make the last samurai but instead of tom cruise it would be a nigger or woman in a Japanese village led by a woman samurai

>>713548450
Were the 3D boobs any good? I've seen the characters in full model thanks to VR mode in Peach Beach Splash, it's pretty awesome standing next to them with their real heights and stuff. But I never saw the 3DS games

>>713541492 (OP)
Isn't Manhunt 2 still not available to buy digitally anywhere and even physical copies are still censored?

>>713552993
But Tom Cruise wasn't the last samurai, he was just there observe the actual last samurai.
He was giving top billing cause he's the big star but the movie was never about him.

>>713553264
I lucked out and got a copy without the censorship (or maybe it was removed) but it was a torrent so I wouldn't know.

>>713553130
I barely ever used the 3D mode on my 3DS. The main draw of the 3DS games over the later entries was the different gameplay, the more serious stories and the focus on the rivalry between the two original schools allowing for character building. There's no Intimacy Mode, instead there's a more basic Photo Mode where you can dress up the girls and have them strike poses so you can take pictures.

>>713552935
>That's the stuff. Still hate Rockstar for cancelling the sequel to make GTA 5 mp dlc or whatever.
You are going to hate rockstar even more when gta6 makes gorillion dollars and the online alone makes gorillion more.

it made so much fucking money that they cancelled everything just to keep working on gta. RDR2 was probably made as a little concession from their parent company because it obviously wasn't worth the effort when compared to how much money gta makes.

>>713541492 (OP)
Mainly because the subcultures in the game are now dead and zoomers wouldn't get the references. The game also encapsulated the early 2000's perfectly.

>>713555597
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMRGUH6sUEs&list=RDJMRGUH6sUEs&start_radio=1

>>713555304
They also abandoned RDR online in hurry.

>>713541492 (OP)

>>713556412
probably because they pitched rdr2 online internally as something that could make as much money as gta5 but it was obviously not true, else rdr2 would have never been made

>>713556420

>>713553332
In that case the woman and/or nigger WOULD be the last samurai and would fill the role of both Tom Cruise AND Ken Watanabe, and they would defeat the superior weaponry of the japanese empire

>>713556740
This will be the plot of Ghost of Yotei.

>>713560078
At LEAST 1/4. Possibly even 1/3.
The rest of the Internet is already past the 50% mark.

>>713552681
House of Velez is kind of interesting since it's so blatantly fetishistic with its gore, similar to The Citadel but in 3D. Feels like any indie willing to dedicate time into hypergore almost certainly is just into guro so it's always conventionally attractive female characters suffering from it. It puts most normal people off to the degree anyone who isn't fully committed to it just steers clear and the niche for a Manhunt style snuff indie game remains unfulfilled.

>>713561892
Snuff movie studio management game when?

>>713541492 (OP)

>>713542240
Lmao

>>713542102
People would probably bitch about the mental asylum level saying its insensitive to the mentally disabled.

>>713541492 (OP)

I always found this game to be very strange, the writing has that "sheltered upper middle class millenial who feels guilty about their privileged life and spends too much time on the internet talking about their childhood cartoons/anime" feel that was prominent in the 2010s

>>713541492 (OP)
It's funny because at the time killing white supremacists was considered PC but now just seeing characters like that would trigger the snowflakes.

>>713552153
They're making a remake of Postal 2 though

>>713559317
I remember one finnish game reviewer making a review of this and the entire video was him bitching

>sexually provocative female characters
>uncensored swastikas
>photos and audio clips of Hitler
>uncensored boobs
>comical portrayal of the holocaust
People would have a conniption over this today.

What about games that could be made in any timeframe

>>713565936
Don't forget about the big black man being a villain, or the Mexican gang.

>>713568016
Nintendo

>>713567065
>comical portrayal of the holocaust
I don't remember the Holocaust being references in that game.

>>713544814
I miss weird flash shit like this. People were so creative and funny. I seriously hope all those guys got a cushy job doing something good. Kinda like the Happy Tree Friends creators. They have a company that is just making cartoons or commercials.

>>713566847
Nta but I feel like it's going to be toned down. P4 is a lot "nicer" than 3 or 2.

>>713541492 (OP)
I genuinely don't get why some indie hasn't just made a knockoff.

>>713548450
>>713549673
meh, prolly for the best. i don't see the point of these ecchi games when porn/h-games are mainstream and widespread now.

>>713542732
It was controversial back then too. Rockstar's whole schtick was being controversial, which is what made it so funny when they came out with "Rockstar Table Tennis" out of nowhere on 360. It was a big meta joke.

>>713568673
P3 came out in wrong time considering how the humor and all punches it did were outdated.

>>713568749
Hotline Miami. Sort of.

>>713542732

Hence why no Bully 2 despite the demand

>>713560410
I played Lula because my raunchy german pc magazines released monthly with dvds that included all kinds of free games and demos.

>>713568503
They kick a bunch of Jews into a big meat grinder, it's hilarious.

>>713554108
As far as I know, all final retail version of that had that weird scrambled porn filter over the kill scenes. Maybe you got a modded version or something.

>>713573538
AFAIK it was originally uncensored, the filter was added in later versions.

>>713566462
I sincerely don't get how this got multiple sequels. 40 minutes in I dropped the first game, uninstalled and decided not to expose myself to Borderlands any more.

>>713571451
what's comical about that? It did happen though

custer's revenge

>>713541492 (OP)
Dungeon Crawlers. These days people are too stupid to actually play them. Also simulators like Sims Golf and Tycoon

>>713565147
Is this a mod?? Where can I get this mod?

>>713564536
There's an inherent creepiness to the mix of shitty early CG and FMV and that is just lost to time. The scenes in Phantasmagoria are borderline snuff film tier. Can't recreate this shit today.

>>713565147
Where can I download this mod

>>713581721
>borderline snuff film tier
Honestly no. The effects look really fake and low budget. I can understand finding it uncanny but in no way does it feel "real" to me.

>>713579586
we just got remasters for those and they did well senpai
trust the plan, eo6 soon!

>>713570545
Baaased.
