Story can be done old style. (Gaming)

by Funkmon , Friday, June 19, 2015, 18:22 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller

Example: Minerva, the mod for Half-Life 2. Cool story, very influenced by Marathon and Halo in its presentation. A snarky AI talks to you only in text and it was great. I think a text overlay of Durandal giving you new story things when you hit a checkpoint would be swell. Voice acting? No problem. Bad guys are aliens. You're Gordon Freeman style dumb, and the AI is text.

A game like that would be great at a $30 price point.
