Aside from Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake, what are some "Lynchian" video games, that are influenced by the works of David Lynch or share his style and motifs?
Aside from Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake, what are some "Lynchian" video games...
Tyler Reed
Ryan Reed
how is alan wake "lynchian"? the only similarity is twin peaks with the small town but not every game set in a small town is a twin peaks reference
Joseph Price
Alan Wake is literally fucking Stephen King shit you retard.
Michael Smith
Silent Hill was inspired by his movies.
Owen Morgan
silent hill obviously
in fact they are pretty much the only ones to get it remotely right.
Mason Reed
the diner looks like the Double R, it's called the Triple D
coffee references everywhere
Sheriff Breaker looks like Cooper
the song that plays at the end of episode 1 was prominently featured in Blue Velvet, another Lynch film
,the achivement "Damn Good Cup of Coffee" is an obvios refrence
the Black Lodge doppelganger inspired enemies you deal with the entire game. tthe abundance of trees.
The "Lamp Lady" is the town oddball and even looks like Twin Peak's "Log Lady".
On the Triple D Diner menu it lists several Coffee sizes and Cherry Pie
Somewhere in chapter 1 there is a giant tree trunk which has been struck by lighting in the past, as you learn if you press 'B' (or whatever the action key), that is said to have been estimated to have had the height of 66m and it is said to be a 'Douglas Fir'
John Lopez
references doesn't mean it's anything like twin peaks, it's definitely not like eraserhead or his films from lost highway on
Michael Flores
Elephant Man Gaiden
Nolan Smith
Jason Jones
What year is this?
Ian Reyes
SH, Killer7 and The Silver Case
Principally Killer7
youtu.be
Aiden Fisher
It has references but its flat out Stephan King type shit. From Alan being a writer, the force of evil, taking place in fucking Maine.
If you ever read a lot of King you would know Alan Wake is based on HIS shit but can have references from others, and twin peaks is always a good reference.
Asher Hernandez
Paratopic
youtube.com
Mason King
I vaguely remember Alan Wake at the outset of the creation of the game, being a Twin Peaks-game at first, even supposed to have open world and everything set in a small town, before they scaled down to what it became.
Sebastian Bennett
GOTEEM
It's both. Just like the film In the Mouth of Madness is both about Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft.
Jayden Cox
Christian Peterson
SH2 is basically lost highway
Eli Morris
Kentucky Route Zero
Justin Foster
>There will never be a mod that removes the slowmo HERES THE ENEMY cam from Alan Wake
>The game will never be as good as it could
Its the biggest design flaw and ruins my chances of ever playing it ever again, its so fucking bad and retarded, yet when it DOESNT happen its so fucking good.
Jordan Brooks
I MISS /tpg/ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Leo Carter
>there's a full fan translation, it just hasn't been patched in
what the fuck
Andrew Perez
Eraserhead > Twin Peaks > Elephant Man >>>>>>>>>>> All his other shit > Dune
Andrew Sanchez
Alan Wake is way closer to Twilight Zone than Twin Peaks
Ryan Peterson
pleb
Wyatt Barnes
Yeah this is perfect.
Liam King
We all do, was probably the last time this shitty site gave me smiles everyday for weeks on end.
Camden Turner
shut
Lincoln Parker
Fuck that sounds annoying. It's been in my library for years and I've been on a comfy horror binge lately, I was thinking of giving it a boot up.
Isaiah Jenkins
david lunch lol
Jaxson Price
Its basically a Stephen King novel.
Leo Allen
I can't even argue with this one.
Mason Green
Dune is genuinely enjoyable.
Connor Jones
The personality of Stephen King but the looks of Neil Gaimen.
Adam Torres
I found Rules of Rose rather Lynchian in presentation. Sadly for all the good stuff, the gameplay is fucking horrid, and its not "bad" in a SH type of way where it makes the game better, it makes it much worse.
Thomas Brown
Someone's not deranged. Also, a LOT of japanese stuff was influenced by Lynch, Twin Peaks was a massive hit there.
Tyler Nguyen
Im even shocked how anyone but Americans could even fathom fucking Twin Peaks. Its probably the most slice of life America edition ever.
James Edwards
The SoL stuff is just a smokescreen anyway.
Justin Watson
That's why it works. It's a portal almost to this bizarre slice of America that we have never and will never experience.
Jace Hall
As usual gemini wasted years of everybody's time by pretending to work on it for e-cred before quietly dropping it and acting as if he never heard of the game
Christian Wright
>references makes a game "lynchian"
you could put the exact same references in grand theft auto but that wouldnt make it lynchian either. the atmosphere of alan wake is not lynchian at all.
Kevin Turner
1) What is popular in the USA will inevitably be aired in other countries with a lot of fanfare
2) Lynch was already pretty popular in Japan
3) It uses a lot of endogenous and rather exagerated rural USA images to build on its unsettling elements with impact, which makes a "tourist" feel through watching them if the person watching doesn't correspond with the culture being shown.
Aaron Cooper
>Sheriff Breaker looks like Cooper
>a woman looks like a man
I know you like Alan Wake, but this is seriously reaching here.
Jaxon Price
>hes never experienced that before
Its real easy once you understand what Northern bumfuck small town Maine and Vermont are. Its exactly that.
Matthew Richardson
Brandon Collins
GTA could arguably be more Lynchian than Alan Wake funnily enough, with the various dead areas players could stumble into, even if unintentionally.
Liam Lee
Control and F.E.A.R
Caleb Williams
>F.E.A.R
>Lynchian or Twin Peaks like
Do you even know what Lynchian or Twin Peaks even are? Im gonna have to assume Control is as retarded of a suggestion without knowing what it is if you are gonna throw FEAR in.
Zachary Ramirez
I live in Australia. And even then, it's a different time. If that's not a relevant factor now, it probably will be in the not so distant future. Super Troopers is a pretty comfy window into Vermont, though.
Julian Young
FINAL CHAPTER WHEN
Samuel Foster
Yes I've watched all of Twin Peaks including the new season and Mulholland Drive
Lynchian doesn't just mean rural america, it means dreamy sequences and strange story twists and what not. Control definitely fits that bill as well as F.E.A.R, also I'd throw Hellblade in that list as well.
Hudson Reyes
nah Time aint much a factor in these towns, but those types of towns dont have much of a future aside from standing still. They have shit job markets so the people living there have been for generations.Small self-sustaining towns with no real growth.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Max Payne
Noah Morris
>dreamy sequences and strange twists
Thats absolutely not what it means, and the dreamy aspect of Lynchian is far more than "sequences"
FEAR is absolutely nothing like Lynch shit.
Angel Long
Also Control if Remedy Entertainments new game and if you don't know who they are then you are a fucking clueless brainlet who shouldn't even be posting in a Lynchian Yea Forums thread, get the fuck off this board and go back to >>lgbt if you only care about "Muh quirkiness" you fucking retarded nigger-dick lover.
Blake Clark
In that sense the new season of Twin Peaks captured the essence of the town perfectly.
Kayden Rodriguez
Pass me my controller
Kevin James
We have those here too, so I get the idea there. Don't really appreciate them (they suck), but photos like this make them at least look interesting. Feel naive thinking back on what I said on my last post, haha.
Ryder Morales
Its going to be hard to even find games like that because most games are designed to be fun, closest your going to get to that is stuff from Remedy entertainment, probably Kojima to some extent and F.E.A.R
Jace Jones
*stroll into Yea Forums*
Cameron Taylor
alan wake is garbage as a video game
Henry Clark
James Edwards
>naming games nothing remotely like lynch when silent hill exists
Nathaniel Clark
I’ll suck your dick if you keep talking shit faggot
Jeremiah Diaz
>still haven't watched season 3
How is it? Season 1 & 2 are my favorite show but I've heard mixed things about 3 and it's pretty long.
Only movies I've seen are Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, how are Lost Highway and Eraserhead?
Carson Clark
>Control
Kayden Morgan
good
and if you liked mulholland drive and inland empire you'll probably like S3 as it's much more along those lines than the original series.
Landon Miller
fuck you faggot the was generic as fuck mechanically please be a femanon
Jeremiah Flores
Season 3 is peak Lynch.
Jackson Gonzalez
Lost Highway is his masterpiece imo. If you liked Inland Empire and Fire walk with me you'll have a blast with season 3.
Also, Flower Sun and Rain is even prescriptive of Lynch, weirdly.
Angel Davis
I did like those movies, the thing is that 2 hours of lynchkino is great but I don't know if I can take a whole series.
I loved the original series because it was comfy and easy to watch with the occasional Lynch moment thrown in to keep it intriguing.
Owen Morales
gameplay*
Jeremiah Wilson
God I wish I could watch Lost highway for the first time again
Blake Turner
yeah silent hill exists that works and that's why people suggested it like 7 times in this thread, I'm just trying to find other options for fans of lynch's work
Zachary Ortiz
S3 is a lot like those movies but it's not as dark as them either, it mixes lightheartedness and dark lynch stuff pretty well
Mason Thomas
Don't talk shit about blue velvet you faggot or I'll fuck your ass got it?
Jackson Collins
You should che k out Gaspar Noé. I Stand Alone, Irreversible and Enter The Void are top tier.
Jack Cook
Noe is fucking awful, nothing like Lynch at all. Film equivalent of dogshit like Arca or SOPHIE
Fuck even Shinya Tsukamoto is more like Lynch.
Lincoln Myers
When is that one PS1 game going to be translated? something falls was it?
Asher Kelly
Mizzurna Falls?
It's actually uNEVER EVER
Charles Mitchell
That's honestly magical.
Though I have to wonder how true that story is. He really came up with the theme first try? I guess it's pretty simple so maybe it's not that hard for an experienced composer.
Logan Evans
OH ANGELO
Rip /tpg/
Charles Flores
It actually has been translated.
It's just nobody has bothered to fully implement the translation into the game itself.
see
Tyler Jenkins
Killer 7 is just if Lynch decided to make an action movie.
Henry Ortiz
>watching the nuke episode with /tpg/
Christian Price
Harvester, not even joking. Its 1950's Americana + surreal horror + unintentional/intentional comedy, is probably the closest you'll get to David Lynch in videogame form.
Parker Jones
>Lost Highway not at the top
get a load of this guy
Colton Roberts
Pathologic obviously. Also Kentucky Route Zero
