First "Lost - The Videogame" trailer

I'm a Lost fan and this is a game I really want to play. The trailer looks like Ubisoft is doing an effort to capture the Lost atmosphere, at least graphics are really good. Seems like CE1 on steroids is enough in there days, but no idea how this one will play. I'm sure it's about making missions like go somewhere and find whatever, etc

Is Lost really worth watching?

I donno, I love Lost, but that trailer looks kinda dumb tbh. I'll probably check it out when its released, wouldn't dare expecting anything good though.

Now an Entourage game, that I'd get!

What kinda game is it. Kinda like Stalker, without the guns and the quests?

No.

Game looks pretty cool, gives us an idea of what Far Cry 2 might look like.

Is Lost really worth watching?

Absolutely without a doubt yes.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the trailer, but it doesn't look terrible either, which I guess is something. I quite liked the walking and running animations - they looked quite full of character and the run looked like he was genuinely putting in effort. Most game characters just look like they're jogging.

Yeah, anims are good. However characters don't have expression. And are a bit buggy.

What's wrong with you guys, the graphics look amazing.

It's not exactly true to the series, more happened in that trailer than the entire second series. To be honest you only really need two buttons, one labelled "WALT" and the other “next enigmatic plot twist,” Of course, you have to wait (or alternatively, shout "WALT") for 4 goddamn hours for your "next plot twist" gauge to fill, after which your treated to an anticlimactic cut scene with lots of foreshadowing to muse over while you wait for the gauge to fill again.

Ideally this will repeats infinitely on some fractal procedural content system, which you can either lap up – causing you to explain complex theoretical theories to your friends you know won’t be true because they do crazy things like make logical sense or conclude a storyline - or, alternatively, you can smash the CD for being the dullest, over hyped piece of crap out there and marvel at how the masses are entertained by this even though they’re fully aware they’re stringing it out as much as possible and everyone’s signing contracts for a billion more series.

I guess I won't watch it then.

If you haven't been watching it, don't. It goes on far too long. The only reason it has so many viewers is because people just want to find out what they've wasted 3 seasons building up to.

taylor needs to write some sort of weekly editorial

It's so cool when you go against the masses... I bet the show would be much better if only a few weirdos watched it.

Please, that rhetoric doesn’t apply here. Half the people watching Lost straight up admit it's crap, they’re just clinging onto the hope that something exciting might actually happen, or something will be explained in a way that doesn’t just add more stupid questions.

Though I think by now they should probably have come to the conclusion neither of those things will actually happen.

I stand here, with the first two series in my hand – well sit here with the first two series in clear sight; and proclaim DON'T DO AS I DO. IT'LL ROB YOU OF HOURS AND LEAVE YOU AN UNFUFILED BURNT OUT HUSK. NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN AND THE ENDING WILL NOT LIVE UP TO WHATEVER EXPECTATIONS YOU HAVE.

It's only worth watching it for that fat guy blowing himself up, which was cool. Though as it was surrounded by hours of tedium and banality on either side, it probably wouldn't be all that great by itself.

Don't know if you are aware Taylor, but you are describing just what makes Lost a great show. There aren't people blown up in every episode, and yes, lots of questions, and some answers from time to time. Do you prefer more action and more answers? Then I guess you won't have problems finding them.

No, I prefer some action and some answers. Not some muppet on a raft for several episodes shouting Walt. Or watching people stand around a hatch for an entire series and then when they open it (next series) they find nothing interesting inside except a computer to stand around in much the same manner.

Here's a polar bear that was in Walts comic somehow, and Locke can walk, and a monster made of smoke, and a hatch, and a computer, and a number sequence and The Others! Get to it Internet Forums, make some theories because we sure as hell don't know what's going on. Oooh, who will Kate pick!? Tune in next week and next week and next week and next week for a hint of finding out! Just kidding!

Edit: Ranting aside I can pinpoint the exact reason I don’t like it. I watch a lot of obscure slow moving crap, I mean I liked Lain and Pi, but it’s different because you know the people who made it actually have a clue where’s all going and it all fits together. Lost, however is going to be strung-out until it is no longer profitable with writers working on it constantly to patchwork it together and it inherently doesn’t want to give up or reveal anything, instead hooks his audience with constant cheap anti-climaxes. And after realising that and being a sucker for 3 series, I stopped watching and vowed to rant bitterly when anyone spoke its name.

Amount of LOST chapters/series is fixed and everyone knows how much episodes will it have. R_Yell and FrieChamp are about the right.
