I don't really see this as much of a flex as OP might think it is... Yeah, the freedom of movement is pretty slick, but, hey, that's bloody VR. Most of what we do see, is how dumb and non-interactive the AI actually is. It's cool you can pick shit from their hands, but they're just standing like a bunch of moops not doing shit.
The point of VR is immersion, and if what you can interact with acts like a puppet on loose strings, things break apart pretty fast.
The movement and coordination is decently impressive... for about 15 seconds. Realizing every guard but 1 is totally unarmed does a lot to dispel the illusion of challenge. Granted if they were armed, and actually fired their guns at all, he'd have to actually think about the very non-action hero notion of taking cover and considering the tactical viability of his position.
Yeah put some ai from the old half life on that map and you would have flying grenades and bullets everywhere. Running in to get killed NPC's really is not entertaining.
The move one did not have the statue in the middle and the bottom floor was closed off with weapons linning the wall. This is only similar in the circular design. The movie one was also pure white.
Reminds me of an indie game idea I had - a John Wick simulator where you're running around a bunch of empty corridors, but each time you shoot your gun a bad guy improbably jumps through a door or window, just in time to be in your crosshairs when the firing animation finishes. So no matter how randomly you aim it's impossible to not hit a bad guy.
My idea for you is make it intentionally hilarious, but the actual game is an 'action puzzler' because you have to utilize these animations to get through levels, using the bad guys predictable animations to trigger other things. At the boss of each level, you can't kill the boss because of the minions basically body-blocking until you solve how to open up their weakness or stop the minion flow. Then you defeat the boss with a quick time event that cannot fail.
The John Wick game we actually got is ass. I woulda expected something more third-person shooter oriented, or perhaps something similar to Hotline Miami.
That is hilarious. I'm not sure how you would make it into a full-scale game, but I could see it working for a 15-30 minute experience. Actually, scratch that first half; I'm sure there has to be SOME way to make it work for a 3-4 hour game.
Some ideas! -limit the number of bullets -Have levels provide a series of obstacles, doorways, corridors, improvised environmental weapons, and get style points for kills, or points for absurdity, or a different scale, one for Max Points, one for Hilarious deaths. -different levels have different weapons -To make it easy on the gamer and the dev, it could be track-based, so the player only controls aiming, kind of like those Time Crisis arcade cabinets. -Funny Slo-Mo death animations
Underrated movies and the second one doesn't suck, I will hear no such talk. Third was not the greatest choice in the world, abandoning the established characters for a prequel. But still very watchable. 1/2
I spared the rest of the scene since some don't like violence or.... yknow. If anybody doesn't like explosions don't look at this part. Merlin went out with a bang and I know people on imgur don't always want to get sprung with the bang.

Not a single one attacks. They walk straight up to the player and wait to die.

Would love to see a live action version of this but it has to keep the video game physics. Be just as wonky.

Reminded me of when they started modding Blade and Sorcery. The AI is usually terrible.

The one where he received a sword through the groin and then was thrown down the staircase felt personal

It's an dual staircase, not the dual staircase.

How do you know the staircases aren't in an armed standoff? And arguably in both scenes they are being used for a duel

Superhot kind of action but in real time. Looks fun
But lmao the only guard who had a gun decided to not shoot it. Very nice of him

The game “I am your beast” is exactly this if you’re looking for that vibe
NaughtButOne
I was thinking it's very polite of these guys to line up and attack in single file. Reminds me of my team mates in Overwatch.
anteyeclimbaxe
I believe the game has a slo-mo mechanic, so this may not actually be real time playback of gameplay.
Grimmrog
Yeah tons of military guards, no one is shooting, just running at the gunning guy 2/10 tbh
LordHosk
Not a single one of them attacks in any way. They all run in and then wait to be killed.
they don't punch don't kick, don't fire a gun. The game is programed to give you baddies to kill, not a challenge.
brodyn28
What game?
Blank1612
Eh I'd be bored within 5 minutes, but to each their own I guess.

There's an awkward attempt at a punch right at the end... But you're right. Nothing but punching bags

aloharamada
Great idea for a game jam. It would work perfectly for a very short game with some ridiculous story tacked on so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Photeus
My idea for you is make it intentionally hilarious, but the actual game is an 'action puzzler' because you have to utilize these animations to get through levels, using the bad guys predictable animations to trigger other things.

Then you defeat the boss with a quick time event that cannot fail.

I love the idea... I can imagine shooting out an open window, and bad guys keep falling from the sky into your bullets.

The John Wick game we actually got is ass. I woulda expected something more third-person shooter oriented, or perhaps something similar to Hotline Miami.

wabitgirl
The game is you have to figure out how to NOT kill certain people.
HedonistBeard
Eh, 15-30 minute experiences are also "games", and many of them are more satisfying than multi-hour slogs that were stretched needlessly.
