Post games that are about mega-structures and/or brutalist architecture

blame! game when, wouldnt even mind a knights of sidonia game either, such a good setting for vidya, each section could just be procedurally generated and it'd fit the design

>>715592051 (OP)
My dick, girls love to play my BBC

>>715592184
>knights of sidonia
never heard of that. sounds interesting

>>715592521
yeah knights of sidonia is also written by tsutomu nihei who makes the blame! series too, both really good

>>715592051 (OP)
Darktide

The movie Cube has this feel down to a tee

>>715592521
KoS is a horrible story. It begins really interesting and then it refuses to actually focus on the good stuff, and it just gets really gay.

>>715593286
fuck no, mostly it's "we want to make AC6 since it doesn't exist yet" and kinda turned into an AC soulslike
you can make cute dolls but I don't think that counts as coomer personally

The unfortunate part is that these aren't so shitty and blurry because of the horrid image quality, they actually are that way ingame too. Still pretty neat though

>>715593427
Oh how could I have forgotten Doll's Nest

>>715592051 (OP)
Lorns lure is a game about you climbing/platforming in a giant mega structure for hundreds of years.

>>715593457
I agree I wish they made it more clear what the scale of stuff was, but the smog is actually part of the lore. it's a horrible place.

>>715592184
NTA. Multiple times I have thought about what a blame game would look like as a PS1/PS2 game, and I doubt it would have been anything good. I mean, the world is way too large, like the entire solar system and beyond. So I imagine it would have been something like selecting a destination point and having random encounters while moving there. Also, considering the hardware limitations of that time and the typical game design approach of jap developers, those encounters would have been turn-based, FF8-style stuff. But while the main attraction of the FF series is its plot, blame's plot is paper thin. I mean literally. If you are to write down a brief summary of all the blame events i doubt it would go beyond a single a4 sheet. So even if blame the game would have happened it would've benn yet another jap exclusive untraslated commercial failure that would've sum up to manga advertisement at best. And now, when we have gaming tech of the future, mass audience don't give a shit about franchise, and even Tsutomu himself jumped the shark at biomega. So alas, no blame game for you

>>715592051 (OP)

Blame can't be done outside of manga. There's no way to light those environments the way a page can.

You need to have something wrong with you to make good art. That doesn't mean the mentally ill have a natural skill towards art, but if you are an artist being mentally ill is a pretty significant buff.

I love the idea of these types of games but I find them a pain to play

>>715592880
IF IT CAN GIVE BIRTH

>>715594862
They usually don't but they're terminally online and have a LOT of free time so they can make whatever they want before they eventually go into deep depression and need time to "take a break"

>>715592051 (OP)
Those small steps are entirely the only unrealistic part of that shot, they should have them be something you can click to push outwards at most, not be like that by default, even Kowloon wasn't that crappy by standards. Maybe ladders upstairs instead of those small steps.

>>715594989
more like good artists only got there because they gave themselves mental illness through being obsessed, it's not a buff but a cost that comes with the skill development.

Ar Tonelico games are all set in megastructures. It's not quite the same as what you guys have been posting because a lot of the world is outside the tower itself.

>>715593786
I'm pretty sure there were a couple. Spectral Tower comes to mind.

>>715593594
only soulslike thats an actual soulslike in terms of map design

>>715596952
neat. (I actually meant a game based on his recent manga "Tower Dungeon")

>>715597113
>neat
Not really. But it exists.
>spoiler
Oh, ok. I don't keep up with manga.

>>715597081
I always thought Code Vein at least had the structure of areas down, even if it doesn't have the interconnectivity. I can hardly blame Code Vein for not having it when half the Souls game don't either.

>>715593175
good pick
game is kinda confusing and the story makes no sense. even though its intentional, it still rubbed me the wrong way. never finished it

>>715597202
>Code Vein
i got filtered at the not-Anor Londo level, and apparently a lot of people did. after that, it supposed to get amazing. i kinda regret not going further, but im pretty burnt out on souls formula

>>715597348
It has some good levels past that and I enjoyed the story but amazing is a stretch. It's fun enough.

>>715597081
bro your Hellpoint?

>>715597081
a lot of nu souls players were bitching about this game actually having platforming and were seething at its blighttown and nightmare of mensis levels.

>literally re-read biomega last week
>now this thread
shame it got rushed, imagine what could have been
i don't think there will ever be a game that captures blame's feel

>>715593340
looks interesting, but
>roblox

I was always partial towards the Termitary in Pathologic 2

>>715593286
Yes.

>>715595613
looks like that area outside of GLaDOS's core in Portal 1

>>715597689
Was watching a str*amer play it and he was just rushing through all the enemies dying from stray hits/failling down and saying how it's a terrible game. Crazy what games like LoP did to the reputation of souls games.
Not saying LoP is bad it's my second favorite but the map design is awful, genuinely a straight line and 0 danger.

>>715594862
>>715594989
It's just male autism. They make things male autists like except they're also gay.

>>715593786

>>715593427
>Bleak Faith Forsaken
This game is way better than you guys gave it credit for, however I have never not been lost while playing.

>>715597202
Code Vein has really good level design, in all aspects of that term. I honestly think most people don't actually know what that term means going by how it is used on this board.

rain world

>>715596627
The first game at least gets super crazy once all the internal doors get unlocked. Then everything starts connecting like Mega Man Legends (oh hey, that's actually a mega-structure game in itself) you're finding chambers you'll never ever see if you simply follow the storyline. A shame the map design is beyond lazy as fuck. Like, really REALLY lazy. Gust's absolute lowpoint. Which is weird, cuz it came right after Atelier Iris 2, which had some of their best map designs ever.

>you will never be a janitor in the citadel

Peripeteia

>>715593023
>>715593427
>NaissanceE
I'll also recommend NaissanceE, and add that the entire game is free.
You can download it from Steam right now.

>no pole going down into the cushions so you can slide down it from the top floor for a shortcut
Wasted opportunity.

the submachine flash games are about being trapped in a nearly-infinite-sized machine structure that noone understands and that constantly rebuilds and changes itself. at least that is what i gathered. like blame!, it is a clusterfuck.

>>715599102
Last I heard this game was in a rough state, which sucks because everything in it looked cool as hell. Has it gotten better?

The lack of proper megastructures in this thread disturbs me.

>>715599848

Depends, are you in control of your faculties?

>>715599820
Good art, literally nothing else. It's super buggy, the combat sucks, the rewards suck, all the choices kind of suck, it's not actually that punishing and it's easy to "solve" the game. The game came out way, way too early and then the community had to spend the first playable weeks convincing the devs not to use an insane real time resource drain mechanic like a mobile game.

Basically I hope the artists get picked up for something else soon, and that's all.

>>715593340
If we can recommend roblox games, then next to this I'd recommend Abyss world. It has multiple levels with abbandoned ruins that a person interested in blame would probably like.

How exactly are people supposed to recommend an anime/manga that (you) think you'd feel the same way about as Blame!, a manga you haven't read and don't know what it's like to even know what you're asking for yourself?

>>715600796
that part of portal 2 when you're in front of the entrance to the facility was great, same with hl2 citadel

>>715602570
What I meant to say is I haven't read it yet but from the images I've seen I think I'd like it
I've read his other works

>>715599820
the game doesn't deliver on it's promise at all

>>715602339
I love Oingo Boingo so much

>>715601893
Only Nihei's other works come to mind, since they mostly capture a similar feel to BLAME!
Once you've read BLAME!, read BLAME! squared (the far future sequel), then the prequel manga, NOiSE. Next, read Abara, then Biomega. These are the "core" Nihei works. I find his art devolves from his next manga, Knights of Sidonia, onwards, but that's not to say he loses his magic, and he can still make impressive spreads with a huge sense of scale. Try his later works out if you're still itching for more Nihei, particularly his latest manga, Tower Dungeon, since I've heard good things about it (though I've yet to check it out myself).

>>715601016
It's not really megastructures, but it doe a good job of having you wander around concrete monstrosities trying to find your way back to other people. My only real complaint is that it that it's incredibly brutal with battery usage mechanics.

>>715593340

Very obscure game but it's the best game made for PSP in my opinion, it also has a lot of blame vibes with how the enemies and weapons work by morphing their bodies.

> Ico: Feudalistic and brutalist? Yes.
> Shadow of the Colossus, no, too much decor.
> The Lost Guardian, no, again, too much decor.
Brutalism should be more sleek form lines, not much decor in the ways of varying architecture like its some sort of neo-classical building. Brutalism is extremely modern architectural style which seeks to limit expression to minimum and it should feel like its meant to do a single job, not add beauty or wonder to the place by design and certainly not look like many people would want to live there. Think warhammer 40k as gothic brutalism.

>>715605969
Nah the first game is like a prototype for the 2nd game, you don't want to play it at all. Rengoku 2 is such a addicting game when you play it that you won't want to stop until you beat the game and unlock the 100 floor climb.

Me and a buddy started co-oping Elden Ring blind pretty recently, and I got a very Darktide-ish megastructure vibe from this (soz for photobombing the shot, it's a bit of a disgrace the game doesn't have a first person view or photo mode when it looks as good as it does)

>>715593641

>>715592228
Big Brutalist Construction?

>>715605536
That bloom kills me

>>715605462
It's a big factory, but not really a megastructure. I wouldn't even say the gargantuan walls in 2 really count either, but the games are definitely porn for people who love environmental visuals and whatnot. I wish there were more "construction punk" settings around.

You LE MEGASTRUCTURES !!!!!! LE BIG TOWERS !!!!! faggots are so cringe

>>715606132

Akshually, in an endless mode there's one new level variant and there are different biomes in the campaign you can't get in one playthrough.

It definitely is, that or my PPSSPP settings were fucked

>>715606189
intimidated by big structures, are we?

>>715605646
I'm not sure this counts exactly, see for some reason, the megastructure is inherently tied to sci-fi, not fantasy like Team Ico games

>>715606028
i guess this is still a very niche corner of gaming plus most people making them are small devs. and there might be limitations because of hardware to get these done proper idk

It's a gameplay first game focused on replayability. Adding more levels can only improve the game. In my 50 hours I'm still not tired of the first level because of all the options. On the other hand elevator shaft turbo sucked even a few runs in because it is mostly static.

>>715606465
yeah it's basically a screenshot tool

>>715606682
Honestly a procedurally-generated walking sim “game” set in a brutalist city or abandoned spaceship would be pure kino. Give it a bit of verticality and some movement options and it would be even better.

No. It needs to be carefully sculpted, a random mishmash wouldn't work.

>>715607134
yeah could have some kind of space ship you can pit stop anywhere to get scraps and components to make the ship better. and by that you can go faster and cover more ground. not sure what the end goal could be tho

>>715607719
tbf you can handsculpt better random garbage than actual random garbage. If you just drop a big pile of shit down, it probably still wont look as nice as if you carefully arrange a big pile of shit.
Case in point, blame clearly has some nice composition.

Couldn't you just do something like The Journey but with good graphics and better gameplay? You get told a vague goal of taking a macgufffin to the tower in the distance and then go through a bunch of set pieces on the way. You could do it Girl's Last Tour style with a relatively slow tank.

The builders build random, but there's still a certain kind of "pattern" to it. They sometimes make bullshit, like apartment blocks stretching out for hundreds of kilometers, but a big overarching theme in builder construction is that the areas still can be traversed by a human being. There are stairs, almost always, that can get you places and even elevators, occasionally. The best way to do it would be to implement "partial" procedural generation, where an area would have a bunch of seeds that sets a theme for it. and on occasion the different seed would interfere, to create randomness. That way you could go from Byzantine to Brutalist to Gothic architecture on the same layer.

>>715611503
interesting like the structure has pocket biomes? Also if the structure always follow a "for human" design are there ever dead ends or places that are closed off? Also is the structure alive and trying to wipe out humans? if so why would it be human accessible?

>>715612547
>>715611503
these questions are more BLAME! directed btw

>>715612547
>Also if the structure always follow a "for human" design are there ever dead ends or places that are closed off?
There is. Lot of stairs, rooms and ledges that lead nowhere. Also things like round stairs that go 3000 kilometer upwards. So its going to take a while to get to the top if you decide to walk. Builders building at random is the main reason why the world of BLAME! is in such chaos to begin with and the operating system Authority wants to stop the growth before the mass of the entire space structure reaches critical mass and collapses on itself.

The distances in BLAME! are ridiculously long, the entire world is a string of structures combined together in a radius of solar systems. And theres giant empty rooms that used to envelop entire planets, before the structure disassembled the planet for resources. A walking distance from Earth to the Sun is extremely long already, now add in to that that you're traversing an environment of stairs, corridors and rooms that are chaotic. No wonder humanity lost control despite their sci-fi tech having godlike powers like creating matter and energy out of gravity infinitely.

>>715606750
If its pitch black you wouldn't even need to render most of it. The real challenge is how do you make a walk of 50 000 kilometers in giant empty room fun to play. Answer is you don't.

>>715592051 (OP)
Would SMT3 count?

>>715613554
That is very true. I don't think you'd ever see past a certain distance anyway (atmospheric distance/distortion)

>>715613252
>wants to stop the growth before the mass of the entire space structure reaches critical mass and collapses on itself.
I'm surprised it hasn't already given the size it is.

>>715599390

>>715606750
It's not that hard to make a game engine do this.
The real question is "how would you render the jupiter room, in an existing game engine?" because none of the normal usual engines (from unreal and unity to shit like cryengine) are built to do this. So the issue is not rendering the jupiter room, it's being able to have an engine that can render the jupiter room AND do everything else - which means either making your own engine (a tremendous amount of work), or somehow hacking an existing engine (will have tons of licensing issues, and still a ton of work to force the engine to do this when it was entirely built and designed without considering this usecase).
I remember reading somewhere that Star Citizen had this problem for example. But they did manage to get it working.

Space Engine is an interesting project that went the other way, building its own engine. But the entire project is basically the engine, as there's not really a game in it. It also doesn't render small environments well, since it specialises in astronomical scales - but given that you CAN land on planets, it would likely be possible to extend the "small scale" rendering system to be a lot more functional while keeping it integrated with all the large scale stuff, if you wanted to use it.

Or, you know, you just render it as a skybox.

Alright, I checked out the first chapter. I like it so far and it'll only take a couple of hours to read. I do like the buildings in this thread, though it's the themes and setting of the story that sounded more interesting to me. Thanks for the recommendation.

i just read the first issue of BLAME! and its pretty sick however it was alittle hard to "see" the action smoothly. Does this improve over time with later issues? It's not just a blame thing. could just be a me thing, i find action hard to follow in comics sometimes

>>715614478
It's a decent read overall, just brace yourself for things to get less interesting halfway through and the ending to be really disappointing.

>>715600947
Blame sucks

>>715614424
Super short so you should

>>715603683
Gtfo pedo scum

Another type of game i would really enjoy and which i somehow still put in the same ballpark as NeissanceE (maybe cause of how NaissanceE starts and ends? not sure) is first person puzzle games(not with puzzles like portal, more along the lines of the environmental puzzle Neissance itself has, or ones that involve the structures of the levels themselves, like in Manifold Garden) in which the entire existence of the experience as well as the puzzles themselves are part of a bootstrap paradox and causality loop.
As a made up example(cause i dont even know if such games even exist), one where the very act of you trying to escape the place you inexplicabily find yourself in is exactly what causes yourself to be trapped in the place, and with this concept being recursive within the levels, as in, if puzzles/levels involve you moving entire walls, the way you need to move walls to solve the first rooms is exactly what causes the following rooms to not have the passages and/or walls required to pass, which creates the puzzle in those rooms, etc.

>>715614539
you get used to it and it does get better as the series goes on. there are some scenes later that still require you to spend a lot of time looking/thinking to truly figure out wtf is going on though.

it's by far the title that comes closer to the atmosphere I'd want from a Blame! video game. The loneliness, the puzzling immensity of the setting, the megastructure looking scary and unfit for living creatures but also beautiful and sometimes calm, the game's dev did a great job.

>>715597968
To be fair, it released in a really abhorrent state and literally had Dark Souls 3 animations they'd unwittingly downloaded from some animation store. I played it a month or two ago and it scratched an itch I didn't even know I had.

>>715617047
it's pretty short for a 20 bucks game, for reference I have 7 hours in it with all achievements except one (and the one for all other achievements)
It's a neat puzzle game with a unique aesthetic but it didn't leave much of a lasting impact on me, I'd get it with a discount if possible

>>715617115
>kinda wish you could have priority groups for your list
Like how you can make different groups in your game library? That's actually a really good idea:

>>715617047
>>715617395
btw iirc that runtime includes trying to go for the last achievement (which entails replaying through the whole game with certain restrictions) until I gave up because doing certain parts was too tedious. It's probably a 5 hour game for a normal playthrough

>>715617513
exactly

>>715616817
No. Most of the game is about traversing wilderness. You don't spend much time inside structures.

>>715617561

>>715616403
Necrobunda?

>>715616403
Necromunda captured the atmosphere better than Mordheim, but I'd like to see both done justice.

Hellpoint does the Space Souls reasonably well, though it's probably closer to Dead Space (but wit h robots) than Blame.

>>715616403

>>715622769
yeah I spent a bit of time exploring the first level with all the upgrades and it could have been a lot of fun if the game gave you more of a reason to do so rather than being a bunch of essentially linear levels with some open areas.

That does make sense though. Even if the game's buildings are unrealistically massive and often impractical for a regular human to get around in, I know for a fact that the level designer is an urbanex guy who draws a lot on weird shit he's found in IRL buildings. It's at the bottom of the incomprehensibleness level not just for the size, but because you can actually find smaller-scale stuff like it in real life if you know where to look.
t. worked with the guy on a different game years ago and has seen some of his urbanex photos

Play Flesh, Blood, & Concrete

You know what would be cool?
If the logic and "rules" behind which the megastructure of BlamE! were used to procedurally generate a world the size of a Minecraft world(and no, im not talking about putting procedural generation in the game itself, im talking about using it to generate the map during development, once done the map would be the same for everyone), and make it multuplayer, where each player is placed in a random point in the map.
Also, make it a toroid so the map loops onto itself and has no physical edge any player can reach.
This should, at least in theory, create an actual world for players to explore and discover which would take many IRL years to fully explore.

One could argue the amount of players would make it a trivial endeavour, but first and foremost, the size of a Minecraft world is literally larger than earth, so even with several tens of millions of players, the chances of all of them successfully organizing to explore the entire map are infinitesimal, and secondly, such game wouldn't really have that many players anyway.

Now add a way in the game to leave permanent messages, and i think we'd have a nice game.

>>715624443
best architecture, then followed by Victorian

After playing AC6, I kinda want an Armored Core game set in a Blame!-like megastructure with cool mecha explorations in huge labyrinthine levels. Say the corporations found a derelict extraterrestrial megastructure out in deep space and they want to explore the inside of it.

>>715624107
Yes.
But in their case, even if UE5 is still a mess, it's an understandable choice for the size of their team, they were literally wasting time and resources to try and put their own engine up to par with what other engines could already do(there is a video where they explain how some of the stuff they did in TP2 wouldn't really be possible in an efficient way in the Serious engine without major tweaks which would become redundant), which would take away time and resources from making the actual game.ù
Also, TP1 remake fixes some rendering issues TP2 had, so there's way less ghosting and artifacting,, a better implementation of upscaling, etc.

I like it a lot. Even with how minimal the story is, it really captures the imagination of what's inside the place.

really cool concept, but generating a map that has enough variety and interesting places to make it worth exploring would be far from trivial

>>715625165
Sounds a bit more like an ARC game, but in a a hellish industrial milieu rather than lush jungles with domesticable dinosaurs?
Would be cool though.

>>715625214

Impossible. Just Dead Space 1 but Blame!

>>715613916
Yeah wtf

>>715625554
>really cool concept, but generating a map that has enough variety and interesting places to make it worth exploring would be far from trivial
what if it was somehow player involved? let players make stuff to fill the world. they could even become permanent to the map

>>715625714
>Just Dead Space 1 but Blame!
could you be more wrong and retarded? I doubt it.

>>715625165
>let players form whatever groups/societies they want.
desu, with how relatively niche this genre is, in a world the size of a minecraft map, there'd be too few amount of players to form societies or any form of actualy organization.
Lets say such game had half a million players(and i'm already being generous), if you actually make it so players spawn in random points in the world(and lets also say there's no way to respawn, but also no permadeath, so you can't just respawn in a different place over and over just cause you don't like where you spawned), it's very likely no player would ever meet another players for several tens of hours, unless they just sohappen to be spawned very close to each other, which is an already much unlikelier situation anyway.

One could argue you could make the world smaller, but it being larger than IRL earth is the entire premise of why i'd want such game: a game map so actually unfathomably large players would actually be discovering new places and areas for years and years, a game which, as long as there are players, would hardly ever truly end.

>>715625554
>enerating a map that has enough variety and interesting places to make it worth exploring would be far from trivial
of course it wouldn't be trivial, but i'm confident a decent set of rules can be made to make it possible, even if had large portions of it that are relatively empty and "uninteresting", with a proper set of rules for the precedural generation they'd hardly ever be so large or close to each other for such spaces to ruin the "fun"

>>715625513
it's not a dating sim, also she is not really a cripple

>>715625893
that would end up just being like a permanent minecraft
not to mention, allowing players to have a creative and build role in the map sort of defeat the purpose

I tried Crymachina but the gameplay was real bad.

>>715625895
Yeah nigger, you don't know how to prove me wrong. Dead space 1 is literally blame!

>>715626098
get gud fag

>>715625968
maybe through in a bunch of NPCs to interact with?

could also be like elite dangerous?

also maybe the whole experience wouldnt be about being social but isolated with the very low chance of bumping into someone. if it happens it will be more special

>>715626254
not him, but for me the issue is that the gameplay is extremely boring, not hard or difficult

>>715626098
it's just button mashing, still really liked it though, but the yuri shit was creepy

>>715625714
The Dead Space series always had a lot of megastructure vibes to it:
>the claustrophobic corridors of DS1
>the goddamn freefall sequence in DS2
>seeing the Ishimura in a hangar in DS2
Not a real megastructure, but being out in space in the ship graveyard in DS3 gave you the same sense of being a tiny grain of sand in a vast desert as true megastructure aesthetics do.

>>715625164
Okay anon

Samosbor is basicaly Soviet-styled backrooms (Gigakhrushchevka).

>>715626161
Blame! can be mainly defined by its fuckhuge setting (absent in Dead Space), its shooty shooty bang bang scenes with massive destruction (absent in Dead Space) and its transhumanist theme (present in Dead Space), so we're at 1/3.
You just want yet another over the shoulder TPS, you are so fucking gay

>>715626297
ignoring for a moment that such game will never be made anyway, i feel like all these additions would end up really denaturalize the whole idea of a megastructure mega world where exploration and being alone with nothing but the structure(not nature, the video posted here >>715593228 explains it very well) are the main core of the experience

at most, i'd implement a bullettin board where, in game, players can post pictures with short descriptions and coordinates, as a form of indirect communication

>>715625008
I'm disappointed it took this long before it was mentioned, but more so that nobody mentioned Marathon yet, especially Infinity. The narrative, architecture, lighting and especially sound design comes together to make very convincing megastructures. The low humming of obscured machines hidden deep within the structure gets me every time.
I recommend each and everyone to at least play the first level of Marathon Infinity, pic rel, it's free and now even on steam. You could be playing it within one minute.

>>715625164
let me guess: youve unironically uttered "Deus vult!" before in your life

>>715626764
this, keep it sweet and simple. It would become a game that you can hop in once in a while and explore a bit, this could go easily go on for years

>>715625714
I learned yesterday that Dead Space is a medical concept where voids beneath the skin after surgery or trauma can make necrosis form. The game is a neat extrapolation from that.

This is now a Piranesi thread

Control

>>715626719
You're right on the money with the megastructure aspect being absent in Dead Space. Blame!’s setting is practically a character on its own - it's this endless, oppressive, architecture-as-God environment, whereas Dead Space is small, tight, and more about atmosphere horror than existential verticality. The “press X to slowly walk through the same corridor for the 4th time” kind of level design in DS is the opposite of Blame!’s awe-inspiring scale.

Also lmao at calling everything with a dark filter and dudes holding guns “like Blame!” - next you’ll be saying Spec Ops or Gears of War is peak cyberdystopia. Go look at a single panel from Blame!, then look at the USG Ishimura and tell me with a straight face they operate on the same frequency.

I don't see how that has anything to do with baroque architecture, but congrats on those digits.

Upcoming one:

Everybody who mentioned Necromunda and Rain World are based beyond belief.
Also, Spacemarine 2 is somewhat similar to Necromunda in terms of size and scale.

As some non-obvious answer, try Dark Forces 2, addon as well. Sure, it's just star wars, but levels do tend to be gigantic, semi-abstract, vertical.

>>715627423

>>715627423
If you need IRL architecture, INFRA is much better.
Mirror's Edge is cool, but only this hole and drainage system are megastructure-y.

>>715627672
It's real and it's in tokyo

>>715627207
A fun factoid about Piranesi is that the "impossible architecture" of his illustrations are some of the earliest known instances of this, several centuries ahead of Escher, Giger and Reutersvard.
His embellished drawings of Rome drew many young noblemen to the city, only to disappoint them of its failure to live up to them.

It performs the cardinal sin of "here's an interesting world and an interesting premise, now let's completely ignore all that to focus on vapid and utterly uninteresting character drama". Very common manga/anime L.

He also drew The Prison, a famous series which heavily inspired Miyazaki when making Demon's Souls.
There's been some debate on how much of the impossible or abstract nature of his illustrations were intentional or just poor draftmanship. I believe it's a mix of both lol
Even his mundane drawings have a lot of perspective errors, but he still manages to create impressive landscapes.
>>715628283
Yeah no shit

>>715628025
Is he the guy behind those architectural drawings of impossibly huge structures, churches etc in the middle ages or am I thinking of someone else

>>715615653
>>715624302
Looks pretty similar to me. Environments in the game are all big concrete super structures which is another reference to BLAME!

there was also Étienne-Louis Boullée who was a contemporary in the speculative "impossible architecture" movement. i personally find him very interesting for his utopic vision of society. almost like a John Martin painting come to life

I read it online, it's a good book but the main character is a mormon at first if that makes any difference to you.

I've often though how cool a VR game that really tried to create a sense of scale would be.
Things like being at ground zero during a nuclear blast or exploring a slice of a Blame! megastructure or seeing the cloud banks of Jupiter up close or other things like that.

I've always loved huge things. The awe of scale is a high I love chasing.

>>715632485
I've read enough Orson Scott Card that mormonism doesn't bother me anymore.

>>715592921
Can you mute or change just the troon announcer?

>>715595613
What pack?

Not a game but anyone who likes industrial megastructures needs to watch Gunhead. It's not a good movie in terms of plot but man, the atmosphere of this movie is fucking great and worth it just for that alone.

>>715632827
Gunhed*

Sorry about that, always type it wrong.

>>715600947
The same thing that subconsciously made you do that did the same for someone else

>>715632221
the labyrinth has no entrance and no exit
the labyrinth itself is not bound by the rules of the physical world
the cenobites which inhabit the labyrinth and torture the sous trapped in it can easily manipulate its structure
what this means is you could easily wake up in the bottom most layers, spend hours if not days climbing up stairs to reach the top, and once you put your last step on the ground of that roof, you're suddenly at the bottom again

Ah shit I skipped this thread initially because I can't stand Blame but there's some good shit in here too.

I unironically like brutalism as well and don't get the hate for it.
It is a kind of "fuck you" minimalism that tries to be off-putting on purpose but that's exactly why I find it endearing.

Mines are interesting because they are often constructed to wholly inhuman measurements. Regular humans navigating them are an afterthought.

>>715633114
what

>>715631508
I liked 5. Like 20 years ago I randomly caught it on TV one summer night and it was surprisingly good. Still remember it for some reason.

AM I SOMEWHERE?

>>715633214
i think it got mainstream recently, so that usually comes with alot of hate

>>715633214
90% of the hate comes from retarded associations with the name. If it was something like "concretism" all along it would have notably more genuine appreciation.

>>715633214
Mainly because it's considered cold and distant. Which is odd because the idea behind brutalism is to be less pretentious - to show what goes into the construction of the building.

A part of me wonders if Space Engineers could handle generating big fuck off megastructures
but contradictingly enough I haven't played that game since my pc has been able to run it properly.
>>715633624

>>715592818
this is almost textbook gothic howeverbeit

>>715633214
Same.
I'd live in a building like the Oldest House in Control in a heartbeat.
I especially like "eco brutalism" where there is a lot space made for plants and planters in the construction. I'm no environmentalist, but I think the contrast looks good

>>715624628
now i really wanna make this, but i have no know-how whatsoever :/

>>715633782
> idea behind brutalism is to be less pretentious - to show what goes into the construction of the building.
Which might have worked at the time, but mainstream appeal shifted towards idolising green cities since.

Wait is that real? As in, an actual trench used during a war, presumably ww1 or later? Looks more like a mine

>>715634681
>mainstream appeal shifted towards idolising green cities since
NTA, but not only that, mainstream appeal made it the style of choice of some people who don't really grasp the idea behind it, in turn making it the style of choice for pretentious people, so nowadays most people see brutalism as a pretentious style, the opposite of what is meant to represent

>>715633624
This building doesn't work aesthetically because it tries to find some beauty in its design but brutalism is inherently ugly
The individual building is at odds with the architectural style it is supposed to fit in

If anyone's ever near it, I'd recommend visiting Tempelhof in Berlin - Germany.
The photos on google don't do it justice. It's an enormous abandoned airport from WW2.

>>715599848
You mean like this? This is an actual megastructure.

>>715634956
bingo. i almost dont even want to mention i like it

>>715634956
Most people I see talking about Brutalism either show the really nice looking ones or just rectangular commie blocks. No in between.

>>715593427
I really wanna play Bleak Faith and bought it already but supposedly they are making a DLC so im waiting for that. Also since the games release they really been at it with the patches.

i feel like brutalist is perfect for colors and murals but you never really see it

>>715597081
I want more stuff like that, the hard gameplay is what DS games became about but all i care about is exploration.

>>715635179
>but brutalism is inherently ugly
It isn't.
Brutalism is Brutal. Blunt. But that doesn't mean ugly.

i haven't really played any soulslike long enough to know this, what does it actually mean to be an actual soulslike in terms of map design?
