looks like a whole world of crossfire parkour maps
if i was the matrix AI i would exclusively trap chinese people in that for the lulz

>>723632436 (OP)
Citadel and Beyond Citadel, even has food item that resembles those protein bars from Blame!.

>>723632436 (OP)
The obvious answer is NaissancE. Also, I played Blackshard recently and it was decent.

>>723632436 (OP)
I have been waiting literal years for someone to make a worldgen mod for minecraft that's just infinite procedural blame! megastructure and nobody has done so yet
Hopefully this guy will actually release his shit someday

>>723632436 (OP)
Lorn's Lure is pretty decent so far, it's about parkhouring through a megastructure, with massive levels that usually take me an hour to complete each.

>>723633025
walking sims, anon? you can do better than that

>>723633168
There's barely anything that properly resembles Blame! and isn't a walking sim, some kuso rock climbing game or extremely limited in scope to the point I can't recommend it.

>>723633263
there are a few soulslikes like bleak faith and ai limit that are serviceable and kinda take inspiration from that kind of aesthetic at least

>>723633581
Just having some elements of the aesthetic doesn't really scratch the itch for me.
Don't get me wrong, AI Limit, Dolls Nest, Bleak Faith etc are all good games, but they're not really quite the same thing.

>>723633767
yeah anon, i know.
feels bad

>>723632436 (OP)
Procedural AI for buildings could be the best use in games like this.

Dolls Nest is pretty Blame!-like in atmosphere.

>>723632436 (OP)
>eating a fucking Wii-mote

>>723632436 (OP)
I just started re-reading Blame!.
Somehow it seems appropriate for Halloween season.

>>723634128
Killy could literally eat metal if he wanted to.

E.Y.E. is kinda like before it gets to that point.
Blightown is like medieval version of that
FF13 20 hours of underground corridors and a junkyard area

>>723634096
Dolls Nest is probably the one that gets the closest my opinion

>>723634128
He is not human

>>723634802
Why did you spoiler that? Wouldn't the part where he spent 10 years in a elevator with no food in Volume 1 give it away?

>>723632436 (OP)
Not only is this manga complete shit but you've made this thread multiple times. Go back to nu/a/

Blame! is probably my favorite manga. I'd say Marathon 3.
https://www.youtube.com/live/cxomIQZX2IY?si=GlannYOQY-oFEL4d&t=54

>>723634893
I don't remember that part, I only recalled how he got reconstructed after somehow surviving fucking nuclear blast in one of last volumes. And how at one point he was hinted at being prototype Safeguard. Or confirmed, can't recall.

>>723632436 (OP)
NaissanceE is free on Steam. It's a short, though somewhat frustrating, walking sim with megastructures

How about I suggest you gentlemen a 180 degrees game in thematic, yet in gameplay and atmosphere it's 1:1 to Blame?

What was that 1 game where you plas an anime girl? and it isn't Signalis.

doll nest is nice

I can only think of games that only technically have megastructures and you either don't spend much time in them or it's just a mention or something

>>723632436 (OP)
NaissancE and MIK

I think Rain World counts

>>723636963
The Citadel?

>No Blame live action directed by Christopher Kino Nolan
Feels bad

Fun fact - Nihei daughter once asked him to make some cool manga "like Attack on Titan". Let that sink in.

But Knights of Sidonia were cool.

I hate that all megastructure games pretend that blame was minimalistic

>>723643243
This desu
Any game that has "megastructures" as its only selling point never seems to capture the appeals of Blame!

>>723635075
sweet a new one for the collection

what about some microstructure games

>>723639380
Tunnels is poorly implemented yet incredible atmosphere. Getting OOB on a few maps gives that incredible sense of scale too.

>minecraft
its shit

>>723644380
Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker

>>723642323
There's a few color pages when Cibo gets got while hooked up to the builder outside toha heavy industries. It's pretty early

>>723633168
99.999999999% of Killy's existence is walking

>>723641953
?

>>723645252
The 1% is fucking shit up with the GBE.

You know
Star Wars is kinda slept on for its megastructures.

walking sims will never be blame-like games, sorry
yes killy in blame mostly walks but it just doesn't translate well into gameplay

I feel like Furi shares some Blame dna. Quiet protag walking through a crazy nonsensical structure occasionally mercing powerful individuals with his own crazy combat skills.

Too bad everything else about the game sucks and with the devs track record will never get better.

>>723646204
Just because you're incapable of enjoying it doesn't mean it isn't good.

>>723646698
Coruscant
Bespin
Kamino
Nar Shaddaa
...
A lot of the best stuff is in games
But it's got some good mega

>>723640848
Wouldn't Portal 2 count?

>>723645337
Yeah that one. It reminds me of a certain Korean RTS' game artwork called Atrox by Joymax

It looks like sci-fi hell. Very fever dreamish.

>>723640848
any good?
looks like code vein but with robots

>>723634418
Mentioning Blithtown if the The Game of vidya. You all lost btw

>>723637452
rain world definitely counts

>>723646142
I remember battlefront 2 being one of those games where I'd just explore the maps and appreciate the scale in some areas.
Halo 3 too, some maps just had insane skyboxes

>>723632436 (OP)

Beyond Citadel and The Citadel i guess, i would say to just jump to the sequel

>>723633140
Lorn's Lure actually gives you the tools to maneuver those megastructures unlike many other.
TRON bikers, Spiderman, Warframe, etc. would be right at home

The Xenomorph would be right at home in Blame!'s constructions

>>723633140
+1 for Lorn's Lure. Probably the best type of game for Blame! like environments.

>>723632436 (OP)
motorslice

>>723647936
>if

>>723646142
I know what you mean the feeling of being trapped in a immense machine got brought up from time to time in threads like these or ones specifically on the older star wars games

>>723648802
who the fuck invented putting yellow paint everywhere man

>>723648985
I THINK it started with Mirrors Edge because they color coded the maps so that people could run through and parkour really quickly without having to spend time on figuring out where to go
Then it got praised a lot for that design and other devs went "yeah, we can color code climbing surfaces too!"
And it just got dumber from there.

Not quite the megastructure, but Gravity Rush hits blame vibe

Jeez 4chan thanks for eating my fucking reply.

Tron 2.0
Distance
Nitronic Rush
Spark The Electric Jester 3
Kowloon city inspirations in video games

Not quite the same atmosphere, not quite the same thing, but similar. Being a tiny creature or a vehicle that's pseudo acclimated to maneuvering around the Shafts is quite good. Playing as an Exterminator in a Blame! game wouldn't be bad at all.

The Xenomorph would be right at home in the architecture of Blame! since it looks like a machine it feels right at home inside a giant working machine megastructure.

>>723632436 (OP)
NaissancE and Metal Garden already got mentioned so I'll add Kairo and Fibrillation HD
The two kinda bleed together in my mind, but I remember the latter has some horror segments while the first is just walking and puzzles.

Fragments of Euclid
Manifold Garden
https://youtu.be/SSe7FVNFMY4?t=599


Return to monkeh, return to MC Escher.

New tower dungeon chapter soon

>>723651875
Kairo is shovelware and absolutely not worth playing nowadays.

>>723654101
it shouldn't be too hard for someone to mod Daggerfall Unity into having a mega dungeon with some new dungeon modules that would get the most of of the engine and the game's mobility.

Peripeteia. Had fun with it for over 30 hours, though it‘s early access slop

>>723647936
how's the gameplay

>>723659531
Near the end he is blasted to near nothing, losing most of body mass. Then he proceed to slowly regenerate back over extremely long time.

>>723659530
>survive nuclear blast to the face
>nah, he is fellow human!

Oh and he just fucking walk to the edge of the City, which is at this point nearly at the size of our Solar System. Several astronomical units covered on foot. How many years would that take, you wonder?

>>723660441
He only lost around 40% IIRC and it was only 14 or 17 (or something like that) years

>>723660024
no stamina anime soulslike, has good hitboxes you can jump and duck over attacks with your moves

>>723659178
He is not. Killy is essentially what Sanakan was to the safegaurds but for the Authority/Adminstration.

>>723634128
isnt that a calorie mate?

>>723661069
Even Nihei said he is human. Again at that point in the future the definition of human has changed

>>723660024
The draw for me was the level design
It has that classic Dark Souls level design where the paths loop back to themselves so you can unlock shortcuts which I love

>>723660817
I can't do that and I'm a human.

>>723662209
lmao noob

>>723632436 (OP)
White Knuckle is the closest thing that's also actually a good game.

>>723661071
what do these actually taste like?

Best girl.

People constantly recommending walking sims like a big part of what makes Blame good isn't the whole faction war

I re-read the first volume and I forgot how much talking and people there are
I remembered it as "Killy shows up, kills everything, moves on"

>>723663025
That's the weakest part, everyone loves Blame for the megastructure

there was a bread where an anon uploaded someone's early build of an abandoned blame game, also called "glame" lel
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/714670543/#714705558 if you want the demo, the link's still working
havent installed it ever cause I'm lazy as fuck

>>723632436 (OP)
Doll's nest and armored core 6.

>>723632436 (OP)
wandering peripeteia had that feel for me

>>723663220
don't shoot out the sun.

Do the people who recommend parkour simulators have read Blame! you can't even parkour over most structures in Blame! Killy just walks (or rides elevators for 800 hours).

picrel and metal garden are the ones that got the closest in feel
>>723665237
>parkour simulators
I fucking hate that too

>>723663220
A long, long time ago, some anon gave making a blame game a decent shot.

>tumblr com bac9

It would lend itself nicely to a dungeon crawler

>>723666173
Really don't think any of you would actually like a Blame! walking simulator as much as you pretend.
>but the characters are traversing across entire planet sized rooms
>ON
>FOOT
Yeah the characters are. You the reader get there in a couple panels and then there's monsters and killing and the whole nine yards.
Why build an interesting world and then give the player no interesting way to interact with it when that's not even what Nihei did with the manga?

Surprised nobody posted this one yet.

>>723667035
yeah also not a mention of that rough soulslike that i forgot the name of but got better with updates, just boring walking sims

>>723667195

Look, I know it's popular with really lame youtube faggots, but it's also VERY GOOD.

>>723635039
>same golden visor as Master Chief
Eh, just noticed the similarities. I think it's funny how the hero spirit goes from a reality-bending genocidal cyborg schizo to a stoic super soldier.

Closest I have is Bleak Faith, which if you haven't played since release, is worth checking out. It's much more of a castleworld à la the Ringed City, but there's a lot of Blame! DNA in there. The game has a lot of great vistas and fucking HATES invisible walls.

>>723661613
Fuck that's good.

>>723668245
Meant to post a pic. Maybe I'll post a few.

>>723632436 (OP)
Is Blame good?

>>723668369
It's too highbrow for most people sadly

>>723668369
No, that's why people are still talking about it decades later

I can't read Blame! anymore without being reminded what kind of lazy piece of shit the author became later in his career.

>>723632436 (OP)
DayZ is the only game that made me feel like I'm the Kyrii of that world and everyone I meet is completely detached from humanity so i have no reason not to shoot on sight

>>723666675
yeah I've played that GLAME GBE simulator and it has a several story tower in it and climbing that thing multiple times gets dull fast.
I've always thought that if a game ever gets made it should have a zones where you control your character where you can fight foes and hunt switches and all the rest as an over world a la oregon trail/ Unreal World or something

Doll's Nest already been mentioned a lot.
Motorslice definitely fits the bill, but it's not out yet. Has a demo, at least.
Maybe Peripeteia? Although it's not purely megastructure, there's enough exploration that it might satisfy someone's itch.
If you want a never ever: Radio the Universe

>>723635090
The director announced a new game after more than a decade then qent crazy and put out some weird text adventure demo on steam.

>>723634802
He's a cyborg and possibly a synthetic human like the protag in Biomega. Which still counts as human since its not AI or silicon creature which are different at a material level. Not like humans are that homogenous anyway, you have slenderwoman from V1 and the dwarf fishers in addition all the other gene-manipulated messes.
My guess is that Killy was a glownigger of the human Netsphere government before the fully automated Authority and Safeguard were formally established.

>>723668727
His art got shittier but Knights of Sidonia and Aposimz are really good. No idea what he's up to now.

That's stupid, the scale is interesting, but if nothing happened in it, it would have the following it does.

>>723632436 (OP)
Dolls Nest. Armored Core-like set in obviously Nihei inspired megastructure, also has some references to Blame like a gun that looks like Sanakan's GBE. Despite being mecha musume it's surprisingly not moeblob and has rather serious tone and worldbuilding.
Also
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3926130/INKARO/
This, supposedly. No idea what is it, just that the devs apparently advertised it as such on reddit

>>723670538
>it's surprisingly not moeblob

>>723669813
These guys look so fucking cool
I wish Nihei would have given us a story where he went full in on the cyber goth look

>>723632436 (OP)
Samosbor is basically soviet megasphere
Scorn is kind of like biopunk Blame
some areas in Hellpoint have that sense of wastness
and some areas in Agony (word of warning, game's both edgy and horny)

>>723662209
how do you know?
Maybe we immediately box, bury or burn human bodies when they "die" is to keep them from slowly regenerating

>>723669041
>Peripeteia
THAT'S THE ONE. That's the one where you play as a girl and that's the one that plays like Lorn's Lure, but better and with better level design and assets. It evokes some elements of Deus Ex, Stalker, Thief for a more complete game rather than a walkin sim.

Death stranding, though it has more in common with Gantz

He convinced several versions of Cibo to team up with him - either he's at least somewhat charming, or she's really desperate.

>>723670538
>Release Date: Q3 2028

>>723674158
That's just because all Cibos of all worlds are fucking splooshing for Killy.

>>723674158
I think Cibo might be one of the all time most desperate characters in fiction

>>723673820
Zuru deserved so much better

>>723674397
>fucking splooshing for Killy
If that were true why did she end up having yuribaby with Sanakan instead of jumping Killy's emitter?

New movie when? There was news about a new movie a few years back, right?
right?

>>723674554
ass too big for the net terminal gene

>>723674631
I didn't see the anime but it looked with cheap 3DCG so I don't have hopes

Might as well post one of the original inspiration for Blame!'s architecture in game form in 2 flavors of textures:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z1mvmd2_Po
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dURav9Fygw

Choose

>>723674691
Is that fact? Did he mention that game? I just knew he was studying architecture before the manga

>>723662895
like shortbread but dryer and not as sweet. i like them but they're overpriced here.

>>723674904
Baroque Tower?

>>723674597
Cibo was just horny for the netsphere really, Killy was the brute force she needed to get her there.
Sanakan had been buck broken by 1000 years of Cibo domination and she basically raped 0IQ loli bug cibo. I'd say Killy got omega-cucked in this scenario TLOU2 style but the resulting kid is exactly what he wanted. Mere mortals aren't capable of wanting something as badly as Killy wanted the NTG

>>723661071
is that twinkie but without filling?

>>723674985
yeah.

>>723674795
You're a silly one. I'm talking about the Shaft art pieces by HR Giger. What I posted there was their video game version in the game featuring Giger's xenomorphs.

>>723674761
Always Sanakan.

>>723647818
>Halo 3 too, some maps just had insane skyboxes
Bungie Halo is actually straight up inspired by Blame!
They were fans, named one of their engines BLAM!, and comissioned Nihei to do a comic about Sgt. Johnson

>>723675027
Cibo lost all her personality after Killy kills the president. Not because of any in-canon reason, but Nihei simply forgot Cibo's cheeky opportunistic dick personality and just like he does with many characters he implants their personalities onto other characters like that USB stick that tried to steal Killy's body.

>she basically raped 0IQ loli bug cibo.
>basically
I don't follow metaphors. Same way I *SMACK* the shit out of Nihei when he sells me donuts like Sanakan & Cibo's DNA having anything to do with Seo's DNA that contains the net terminal gene.
It shows how everyone is a retard who doesn't care about restoring humanity cause lol fuck em, but also Nihei is a shit writer who doesn't know how to explain stuff beyond "Uhh acthualllyyy the administration isn't all that powerful and uhhh the administration is totally against Killy despite both being after the same thing and uhhh let's make Sanakan fight Killy for no good reason and uhhh let's make the administration go attack humans & mutated humans more than the actual piece of shit silicon life that totally aren't infected by the virus that triggered us to kill everyone with the net terminal gene.

Blame! is better off as an inspiration than a 1:1 copy, that's why I think Blame! Biomega!'s space tendril as long as our solar system and The Borg's Cube are excellent ideas for exotic xenomorph planets instead of a boring Zerg Hive creep colony bullshit any dullard like James Cameron can come up with.

When I read snippets and stuff I was originally under the impression Killy! was the one who started the virus and got all of humanity killed like a retard and was basically trying to get the net terminal gene for selfish reasons to control the netsphere himself.
Why the fuck does >>723669813
final boss president #4 take Killy's form when he's trying to access the netsphere? like an evil Killy?
Why does Killy defend mutated humans that are 99% silicon and starts going trigger happy?

>>723675083

Sometimes it still pays off coming to this shithole

>Mere mortals aren't capable of wanting something as badly as Killy wanted the NTG

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Davine looked like SEU not Killy because she used his genes to log into the netsphere

>>723675742
Okay actually it wasn't rape, I was memeing. She was bugfixing 1000000IQ loli bug cibo's NTG construct. I don't think Safeguards have genes. And she was doing it because her last role was as an Authority agent but it seemed a bit sentimental as well.

>Why the fuck does final boss president #4 take Killy's form when he's trying to access the netsphere? like an evil Killy?
Davinelulinvega(F) takes on Seu's appearance since she's using his genes to fake out the system.
>Why does Killy defend mutated humans that are 99% silicon and starts going trigger happy?
Not sure what part you're referring to.

Blame is better when you assume there is no story and it's just cool imagery

>Killy! hop into this time portal I created and go defeat Aku!
>Jack! inside this orb is the net terminal gene, bring it to a large body of water and raise it. Don't worry, the kid will get kidnapped in less than 10 pages and you'll be finished in just 1 chapter, we're not starting Lone Wolf & Cub, we're not making The Mandalorian here.

it's not really like BLAME!, but rain world has a lot of kino superstructure exploration

Can I get there in the normal mode or do I need to play as one of those new slugs?

Blame! is better when you make up your own story.

Damn, I'm still stuck in the base game.
I'm in the area with the chickens right before the leg but I don't have enough food to rest and save

So do you retards actually like Blame! or...

>>723676986
oh yeah that's a tough part. I think there's some centipedes in a room right before the gate to the leg, so if you get there you should have enough food to rest.

Blame was Nihei's early work and he didn't even know how it would be popular and how many volumes he'd get
He made stuff up and stitched shit together

Still in development, core gameplay is more MDC inspired tho.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJSszrInjl0

>Davine looked like Seu the Knight
Heh. All asians look alike to me, just like silicone life and the safeguards. ;)
Also Seu wore his helmet 98% of the time, quite hard to remember his real face.

I mean didn't he literally walk an empty room that was the size of Jupiter? Or am I remembering this wrong

Is this zoomer really getting filtered by this shit >>723677851

>>723678010
jesus christ anon
Blame should be kept away from people without internal monologues

>>723678010
All I can say is that Giger would be very proud of those right arms and their left arms look very jealous. Dune caterpillar worm god emperor looking creatures.

>>723677893
How?
No, really, how?

>>723675440
That remind of that bonus page from Sidonia no kishi were Nihei talked about visiting Vienna for an manga expo, and a woman had done a cosplay of Sanaka, but everyone approached her and thought she was cosplaying as the bitch from Gantz, I think poor Nihei didn't live well his manga living in the shadow of it.

Gamer fuel for marathon sessions during month long elevator rides.

I feel like infra kind of has the vibe

>>723678387
I like it, I think I'm just a cultist of Nihei work at this point his imagery will always sell to me, and it wasn't as bad as people say, it was more story driven, but yea Nihei isn't particularly good at keeping a story coherent.

No him but cool power rangers go BAMBAMBAM

Do people like Killy because he is a drooling retard?

>>723677484
the demo was cool but super confusing, no idea what i was meant to do and i could kinda do combat but not very well

>>723678846
He doesn't drool that often, once a volume probably

>>723678219
At the tail end of the manga he walks up a staircase that's 3,000 kilometers and then enters a room the size of Jupiter, 143,000 kilometers. The idea is the AI machine entity has probably converted most of the solar system to building material. I personally make the human distinction at that point with net terminal genes, because whatever Killy is would be the next evolutionary step rather than a homo sapien.

Blame! is a blur
Most people remember the architecture and BME
Some people remember the netsphere
Some people remember that bitching cool blacksuit
Some people remember the """""lesbian"""""" part just like they do in Signalis.
Some people remember how the ending potentially connects to chapter 1
Some people remember when Killy got his ass kicked by a bunch of humans which then got their asses kicked by a silicon child that was never seen again
And then there's people like me ... I don't always remember all chapters of Blame! but when I do ... I remember it for the nutritious delicious klondike bars and how Killy punched a machine in the face for a whole briefcase of it.
No sense in crying over spilled milk.

I'm drawing a blank, what was the one about the big trees again?

>>723678942
>Autism is the final evolutionary form of mankind
...B-Bravo Nihei.

>>723678942
And yet in Volume 1 you could see the sun from the lower levels

>>723678846
He's better than Sasuke at least and he isn't a Gary Stu like Itachi.
He's just normal levels of asian autistic like Jack except Kirri/Killy isn't a prince like Jack who's actually TOO WELL SPOKEN for his OWN GOOD.

Damn, Giger really created 90% of the aesthetic of Blame
You can't beat Giger

>>723679058
>Some people remember when Killy got his ass kicked by a bunch of humans which then got their asses kicked by a silicon child that was never seen again
That was a safeguard "child," basically the exact same as Sanakan's debut
She probably only traded with Killy because she thought he was a fellow middle management safeguard

Thank you op I can asked once again

HOW THE FUCK DO I LAUNCH THIS GAME BRO

>>723679167
It refuses to fucking launch what the fuck
>Gets to unreal logo splash screen
>Black screen
>Exit

WTF

Scorn you idiots, play Scorn, invest in Scorn.

It's worth noting that those food blocks are supposed to be put in water and used to make slop that's able to feed dozens of people, and Killy just chomps on the whole thing.

>>723679298
Sorry but I don't play fartslop humilation rituals, call me when there's a Scornlike where I get to play as Japanese power fantasy with 10/10 cenobite supermodel gf

Please stop being mean to Killy he is trying very hard

>>723679338

>>723679424
>humilation rituals
It's terminal...

>>723679446
He technically got his objective at the very end so he did win sort of, even if it's meaningless.

>>723679095
That could easily be a simulated day/night cycle that the builders in that area are designed to implement

>>723679065
Bugel Call?

>>723679539
>meaningless
humanity was going in a pretty bad direction with the creation of the Netsphere, endstage technofeudalism
sure there was a lot of pain, suffering and thousands of years of genocide but humans finally returned to cozy and idyllic village life

>>723676829
There's still kino megastructure vistas in the base game. Climb the Wall.

When I got fired and just quit kitchen jobs for good a year ago, I fell into the Blame! hole and play with the concepts a lot. I have a free idea for a game that is seemingly impossible in scope.

The world is a singular megastructure that should put MMO worlds to shame, a breathing world with factions of whatever kind possible in such a place. The world is on a server with a limited amount of players. Each player starts at a random point on at the outer layer, there ain't a whole lot around as to friendly NPCs and such, the player should seek exploration and survive the dangers, and eventually get information that leads them towards the center of the structure, as the outer layers are dangerous and generally not populated, and the further one is towards the middle, the closer one is to everything else there. And there's probably something interesting at the core.

Ideally, even with hundreds of players in a world, a player should be able to play through most if not all of the game without seeing another player. It should be so rare, if not sought out through a wide array of gameplay systems, that stumbling upon another person should give the player a gut drop sensation.

The world is such that any genre flys, but think Skyrim on fucking steroids in terms of mechanics and builds. Almost any biome is viable in the structure. A water reservoir at that scale is an ocean, a zoo an entire jungle, thermo regulators the hot place and so on and so forth. Finding a faction means finding civilization means finding jobs, building communities and fighting wars.

You get what I'm saying

>>723679539
Part of me wish it kept going, but the ending is satisfying, I don't know what the fuck he will do with the terminal genes though, it explained it control the builders, but how would you unfuck gazillion of pointless buildings?

>>723679556
the "city" was intended to be a perfect habitat for humanity, like some giant sterile commieblock backrooms dimension so yeah its pretty likely that's an artificial day/night cycle

>>723679298
Scorn is too fleshy and boney and it's a very watered down version of Giger and Beksinski. It tries to be both and fails at appealing to both. While it's true Giger took inspiration from Beksinski, Giger created his own style inspired by factories, industries, mechanical trains, bullets, needles, (which kinda deteriorated later in the 2000s starting with Species' designs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWdRP_jGuig
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GXaVcgrZ4M

We had people last thread who went autistic over Halo & Half Life not being 100% brutalism architecture.

>>723679139
50% of it since Giger didn't invent Brutalism architecture(despite him himself being very interested in it) and the other 50% isn't just brutalism architecture, it's a few more things such as James Herbert's The City.

While Giger's original inspiration believe it or not is the operating table at a hospital since that's literally woman and machine fused temporarily and a baby being put on a conveyor belt and handled by a bunch of mask-wearing doctors and there's machinery and needles all over the place. That is Hans Ruedi Giger's 100% inspiration for his biomecha and the source of his nightmares. Being aware of yourself as a fetus and baby must be quite an experience.

>>723679762
I hated the ending because I wanted more Blame! but in hindsight it was a great ending compared to shit like Sidonia
There are some forgettable followup oneshots but basically everyone's just dealing with it. A lot easier now that Safeguards aren't constantly beaming in to fuck everyone up and the silicons are somehow on the run

NINGEN DA

>>723679901
>Giger took inspiration from Beksinski
Wait, really? That's cool

This is what blamefag consider peak fiction

>>723679736
That's actually not a bad idea, too bad right now it needs to be created by hand, and unless you price the game at $10000 per copy, that's too much content for one person. Maybe in the future when procedural generation gets better we will have this game.
Kinda reminds me of Starbound with thousands of big ass planets, but if you play multiplayer, you instantly know where other players are and can teleport to them. And the obvious downside is that one whole ass planet that is a size of 10x Large Worlds in Terraria can contain heaps of trash and there is nothing useful in it. So you arrive, and there is nothing to explore, not even ruins or landmarks.

>>723671635
what's that manga page from?

>>723679923
Sidonia had a decent beginning, but Nihei always let his fetishes dictate his story and that giantess mecha gf thing really fucked up the pace

>>723680415
But look at her.

>>723679736
Vacant long abandoned MMOs give you this feeling, especially multiplayer RPG games that barely support 8 players and their worlds are far too big for 8 players to be spread around all over the place.

But yeah I get what you're saying like Neverwinter Nights, Stalker, Fallout, Morrowind, Deus Ex, Ark: Survival, Alien Isolation

>>723654101
I fully expect killy to show up at some point to absolute Blame! someone with his gun

I also have a schizo theory that ever single one of Nihei's works are set in the same universe, but the timescale is fucking huge, so it's impossible to say what came first.

>>723679139
System Shock's main villain is also 100% inspired by 1 certain art piece by him.

>>723680415
If you're not reading Sidonia for Tsumugi then what the fuck are you doing

>>723680583
I genuinely thought Biomega was the prequel to Blam till the ending snapped me back to reality.

No, but you were

What was Killys problem?

>>723681009
No, it was just a nice little bookending.
This time Killy blew every silicon motherfucker away the moment they popped up on radar.

>>723681117
He's a safeguard with the directive to kill cyborgs and get da gene, he does this a couple other times with cyborgs he could've spared

>>723654101
tower dungeon is great
it's obviously not as detailed as blame! but the architecture is still great and it feels like dark souls

I loved the ending cause it had an actual fucking ending unlike Samurai Jack where you had to wait 16 years for an ending that sucked ass.

>>723648802
Oh come on it's a dark level with lights laid down to show the path and they have to have yellow disability ramps too

What was HER problem? Also what did Killy do to HER in order for her to have so many rubber bands around her USB stick?

>>723681505
>Bro just let me stick my female USB dick in your brain, nothing bad will happen, honest. Tee hee.

Just UEVR that shit up and spend 45 minutes fiddling with the settings, then shit yourself IRL when you slip and fall while trying to get one of those shitty item pickups the devs put out on some twisted piece of rebar hanging over an abyss

oh right, that happened

Two manga recommendation that don't have much to do with megastrucures, but Dorohedoro and Dai Dark.

DD especially because it's set in space and the main cast are just as stupid strong as killy. MC literally flays people for a living.

>>723683269
What?

>>723683414
Silicons make new silicons by kidnapping humans and doing black magic stuff to them
Like the clone facility at the start of the series. Those were humans in those pods but the silicons were using it according to Killy's trashtalking later

>>723654101
I wanted the Dragons Dogma 2 expansion to literally be the tower in this manga, considering cut content from the first game was almost exactly what this was described like

play Hellpoint solo no guide have fun

I just made a Halo MCC firefight gametype based on Blame
Anyone want to play? Or is it too Sunday night for that

>>723683269
Kiss cute silicon lifeforms.

>>723634128
it turns into a shitload of bread if you pour hot water on it but Killy just eats them raw

>>723685463
apology-seeker kissy in the post-game quest to kiss all the cute silicon girls

>>723643391
No game will ever be able to get it right because they can't realistically depict the scale and distance of travel involved with traversing it in a way that makes for engaging gameplay

Thirding White Knuckle. Especially after the latest update.

The devs have specifically mentioned Blame! as an inspiration.

*AHEM*
FUCK SILICONIGGERS
that's all

>>723685642
The 100,000,000,000 Silicon Lifeforms Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

>>723685850
Idk. I'm gonna be honest
I get good Blame vibes from Bungie games. Marathon, Oni, Halo - all Blame inspired and do a good job. Peak Blame is probably Halo 2 arbiter levels

But to me megastructures are only like 1/3 of what makes Blame "Blame"
One of the bigger parts of it that everyone overlooks is Killy's gun
There's no way to make walking around a megastructure and not doing anything fun, but nobody who makes a game based around "megastructures" also makes it a game where you shoot the kinds of enemies Killy faces with a fuckoff pistol that causes massive damage to said megastructure whenever you fire it.

Everybody who makes a "megastructure" game focuses on the gay "vibes" of a megastructure without the actual BLAMMING

>>723683410
I tried to read Dorohedoro but its even more visually incomprehensible than a Sidonia fight scene

>>723683414
Silicon Life are still cyborgs at the end of the day, no matter how much their tech resembles the safeguard. Like the other anon said, they were borging human fetuses in those cloning pods and later on we see more like them skittering around with larger bodies. They probably get fed terabytes of knowledge and indoctrination that turns them into the psycho adults we see raiding human territories.

Hot Silicon Cyborgs in YOUR Strata???

>>723633168
that's blame bro

why do people think Blame would be a walking sim

>>723688374
What other genre can it be

>>723688592
A shooter
You know
Because of the gun
And all the things Killy shoots

Blame! was basically a story of a man searching for a WiFi password.

>>723688374
because killy spends thousands of years walking
it should be like death stranding

>>723688968
Nearly 100% of his time is moving from point to point b. It's how you get the size of the megastructure right.
So yeah, deathstranding

>>723689196
It should be a a game about walking for long periods of time, punctuated by insane combat sequences. Similar pacing to Shadow of the Colossus.
Killy's GBE being an insta kill for everything which also warps the environment, but Killy also being a glass cannon, and you can get fucked up really fast if you're not paying attention.

Did anyone else get baited by Signalis's art style? The character designs looked pure Nihei

>>723689754
I'm re-reading it and there's not actually a lot of walking in the comic.
Most of it is devoted to action.
At least in the early chapters, I don't remember if it gets less action oriented later.

>>723689809
>Similar pacing to Shadow of the Colossus.
Yeah you are right

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2547010/Mik/
here's a decent walking sim

>>723689863
2/3 scenery exposition, 1/3 action, 1/9999999999... actual story, which is mostly time and distance descriptions

>>723688374
The truest representation of the story to game would be Death Stranding spanning large vistas for hours, maybe repairing pathways as you go, probably throw in platforming since you're not carrying cargo. And in between that core gameplay would probably end up being some Dark Souls type battles against the safeguard or roaming gangs. Killy's gravity gun consumes the users energy so there could be some mechanic where you have to place your shots well because you'll bleed yourself out missing shots. It probably would never work or be fun.

>>723685289
reminder that nihei also made a halo comic

>>723690016
so blane is unadaptable in all sorts of media besides maybe shorts or a good movie (notice how i said good)

>>723632436 (OP)
>MOTORSLICE
its like a shadow of the colossus in a megastructute, destroying macines building said megastructure

>>723690309
Just my opinion but yeah probably can't be adapted well. Several parts of the manga is a few pages of Killy walking and then like a panel saying "btw this was 4 months". Do you just ignore that completely with an adaptation or do you make moving from place to place really fucking long?

Bladerunner is a good Blame!-like movie

>>723689754
>>723689196
>Nearly 100% of his time
How much of the reader's time?
This shit gets dumber every time you retards repeat it.

The game should be an action game, but it should feel like you're doing a lot of walking, even if you're not

>>723676168
>Scorn is underrated
I uninstalled it when an hour in it unashamedly asked me to do the shitty traffic puzzle.
cool aesthetic, cool theme, gay execution.

>>723691264

>>723690008
Yes, the Manga is not literally 99% walking for obvious reasons, the story, in length, mostly is.

But the setting is ultimately an open world walking Sim.

>>723691454
>Yes, the Manga is not literally 99% walking for obvious reasons,
So why would the game be?

>>723691382
Blame has cool fight scenes, but how the setting is presented you get something similar to shadow of the colossus instead of something like earth defense force

>>723691534
>shadow of the colossus
Is not a walking sim!

>>723691504
2/3 scenery traveling feels like a walking sim to me, ngl

>>723691587
I love the game, but it has been called a movie game (walking/horse riding sim hadn't been popularized yet) since forever. You spend as much time traveling as you do fighting the colossi

>>723673846
Several weird factions racing to the end of the world.
A bit Red Alert ish albeit with a nihei flavour>>723673846
>>723673846

>>723691590
Also when is the last time you ACTUALLY read Blame! and didn't just look for panels to nab for threads like this?
I read it again last year when I recommended it to a friend.
There are a lot of establishing shots but outside of that every panel is communicating something to you, it is actually fairly quickly paced compared to some manga.

>>723691667
I honestly don't think I've ever seen SotC called a walking sim.
Probably because it's not and "walking sim" denotes a game where all you fucking do is walk.

>>723691731
Like last year, read it religiously every year while listening to k-tecno during boss fights (early TOHA/electrofisher's arc is the GOAT). Blame! Is quite the light read since it's straight up show don't tell with few info dumps, the action is godly, not arguing that, but the main focus is the setting as Lilly crawls a galaxy sized dungeon

uh you know you guys don't have to simulate every single second of the travel time
I mean the manga doesn't even do that

>>723691872
Sotc came before walking sim had been popularized as a term, it has been called a movie game plenty. Had it been released today it would probably be shit posted as a horse sim

>>723632436 (OP)
Bleak Hope

>>723691872
?
Plenty of people bitch and HAVE bitched that it's just an endless horseride to the next boss in which you go "oooooooooo and aaaaaaaaaaaa" at the scenery along the way.

>>723692272
No such game exists

>>723692325
Yeah, I meant to say Bleak Faith and it had already been mentioned in this thread, so I deleted the post.

>>723692158
The share size and scale of the megastructure is vital, even to the action, killy's GBE is not only a one kill shot but a field leveler. Kinda like destroying the city in EDF but up to 11
