Ranking walking simulators by how good the walking is
Walking simulators like Gone Home, Firewatch, and What Remains of Edith Finch are critically acclaimed emotional journeys of the soul. But can we really call them walking simulators, if we don't know how good their walking is????

I like how Clayton got me to ponder the hyper-focus of the video game industry on gameplay over story... by talking about walking.
Polygon's premise is high tier shit-posting. And I love it.
I think the thing I love the most about Clayton's vid is that the tone and comedy and pacing that Clayton usually brings in his camera work and editing is now put it in front of the camera for me to enjoy. It really feels harmonious between the typical Polygon video style and his narration. A match made in heaven.
This video has such a good vibe and I can really only compare how it makes me feel like this Brian: *breaks into my house at 3 am and yells at me about bowser for 30 minutes* Clayton: *gently holds me while he recounts the tales of his childhood to lull me to sleep* Both provide me w serotonin
My favorite walking you can do in gaming happens exclusively in character action games. There, it's not the default; it's a conscious choice. Any farther on the stick, and your character is hauling ass. But just nudge that stick forward just a bit, and your character's gait tells a story about how awesome they are and how absolutely hosed the demon/angel/soldier they're walking towards is.

My favorite thing about the first Dark Souls was using the dried knuckle and waiting in the Undead Burg cathedral as a level 20 Solaire cosplay character to hose invaders. They'd show up in my world expecting to grief some new player, only for me to slowly walk towards them and absolutely destroy them. By the same right, I enjoyed doing themed invasions as a Black Knight or other NPC and acting as if I was an element of the game rather than a human player. This is a large part of what built a mystifying experience for me when playing the game for the first time and I feel that sort of experience may be lost forever with every FROMsoft game since and even in Dark Souls itself as there are many, many more people cheating and new players avoiding the online components entirely.

@@Arrakiz666 I love that kind of stuff. I used to invade low level players in Dark Souls as well with a character that had all the starting equipment sets. I'd use Chameleon and only move when they weren't facing me, making it seem like a Looney Tunes bit. When they finally hit me, it'd do no damage as it'd reveal that, while looking like a barrel, I equipped a full set of +10 starter armor so that I looked identical to them. I'd then follow them around, sort-of mockingly mirroring what they'd do--so if they attacked a Hollow, I'd run in and swing at them too. The best interaction is when casters would shoot a soul arrow at me, I'd side step it and go to shoot a spell of my own, but since I couldn't, I'd just do the fumble animation for not being able to actually cast the spell. If they started rolling, I'd comically roll around until I ran out of stamina. If they ran off a ledge, I'd jump to my death too. Those sorts of joke invasions were hilarious, but they also helped newer players avoid having to be invaded by anyone else, so in a way, I felt like I was helping people too. If they were having a hard time, I'd run ahead and set up to 'ambush' them in a real obvious way, which would signal there were actual ambushes ahead. I'd use gestures and change my equipment to try to show what enemies were up ahead (Balder Knights, Channeler, etc.) and help guide them. If they made it to the fog gate, I'd give them a big wave goodbye. It was fun times.

5:42 head-bobbing is absolutely not a part of immersion! In real life one of the things your brain (specifically the pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus) does is filter out your own head bobbing. If you watch other people walk, you'll see that their heads bob much more obviously than your own vision would have you guess. So, honestly, leaving head-bobbing _on_ is for people who hate immersion lol.
@rachelladue1572

alternatively, some of us just naturally bob up and down a lot as we walk so we like characters to do it too. also i like never play these games but i imagine even the natural perception we have of ourselves bobbing up and down is a little more than the absolute zero percent bobbing of a video game character, like the bobbing might be too much but no bobbing is probably too mechanical. so im saying there should be a head bobbing scale
@Asiliea
3 жыл бұрын
The pulvinar nuclei doesn't filter it out entirely. It reduces the perception of it. If you exaggerate your walk, you will likely notice some head bob as it hasn't developed to reduce _that_ much perception. Your brain can also reduce the perception of headbob through many other mechanisms, some of which can apply to visual media. As Rachel said, it should be a scale so you can adjust for your own gait, as ghost-gliding absolutely feels unnatural and immersion-breaking... to a point, until you adapt to that as well, just like a game with extreme bobbing.

I love Jim Henson's younger self explaining walking to me.
I love when we get to see Clayton's face! I wasn't expecting to listen to him talk about The Art of Walking for 13 minutes but I'm certainly not complaining.
Polygon's always good with spoilers ❤️
I love his shirt!
This is exactly the sort of video game rankings the world needs right now. Thanks, Polygon.
This is a really good video. I saved it onto both my "Good" and "Fun" KZread playlists. Because it's both of those things and I want to watch it again sometime.
