So it's established that this is just Cube

[anomie]

but can we just clear up one thing. Posters keep making comments along the lines of:

'the Cube series was brilliant'

but there is a problem with this statement.

Cube was fantastic - unique idea, Kazan, tension, character backstories and development that were well designed to give them all an important role in the game, gore, Kazan, moral lessons and mystery.

Hypercube was complete trash - every single thing from the above was removed except for gore, with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ multiple dimensions thrown in cos the writers were high or something idk and a stupid ending.

Cube 0 was ok. I mean, they tried. They really seem to have tried to atone for the sins of Hypercube. If this had been released in a multiple dimension where Cube hadn't been made, then it would be a decent film. All they really done though was to copy Cube, without Kazan and have a marginally better story for outside the cube than Hypercube did. Even though the magic of Cube was that theentire film took place inside the cube.

Overall, the Cube series was ♥♥♥♥. Hypercube was so bad that it negates the ok of Cube 0 and sucks most of the awesome out of Cube.

Cube was brilliant. The series was not.

Kazan

I loved the original movie, didn't bother with the rest, as the reviews said pretty much what you said. That movie is why I bought the game :D

I loved all of them! 1 and 3 as movies and 2 as a concept for a game. 1 and 3... human torture olympics, it's been done. Not new or exciting. The second film though, hypercube, would be a great game! Survive in the cube where the rooms are constantly shifting and each has a variable environment and might even cross into another dimension!

Lots of potential there to set up any kind of game. I made a game in college that was based on cube 2. You gathered junk in each room and could toss it through the little hatch doors on the walls when they opened. The rock would go in and then be affected by the new gravity direction and possibly set off a trap.

No graphics beyond cubes and circles, but it was the first game where I figured out ladders. Just make them regions in which the player is swimming / flying. It's so simple I can't believe I never figured it out... fun and functional ladders.

I'm glad someone's making a game like this just to get people talking about the trilogy again.

I did enjoy all 3, and understand dislike for the second in the series, but if you did enjoy the first, definitely check out the third for sure because the ending of the third loops to the first

It tried to, at least. I thought it was hilarious how different the cast looked for what they were trying to do. Maybe it is an unintentional reference to the second movie because... alternate universes.

This could be an exciting thing.

Generally a sequel will not (in most cases) be original from the first movie. That's a given. So I would not hold that against the sequel and prequel.

But the second movie did contain the same equation as the first which you mentioned was missing. Well except Kazan and the characters being well fleshed out. Each person did play a role and purpose to what was happening. It was just done better the first movie.

Any opinion on media is always opinion and never objective fact. Objective fact would be something you could not argue about like, the biggest ball of yarn. Even if you do not like the yarn it's still the biggest. You can say why the movie is trash, but someone will think it's the best for some reasons. Just curious, you in college?

Read this article on the subject. You will see you are not using objective facts.

Uhm.

I meant empirical.

Totally empirical facts tho *

I'll play along. State the empirical evidence to back that it's a fact. At this point you have only stated opinion. Just note it's not an empirical fact if the evidence is not supported by other observations, giving us inadequate grounds for asserting the claim as fact.

Meaning everyone has to agree what you are saying is truth 100%. Saying the autisic character in the first movie made the first movie better is opinion, not a fact.

Both movies had a story, people had purpose in each movie, both movies had tention and conflict. You would have to prove the second and third movie had none of these for the statement, the other movies were trash is fact.

Saying the first story was better or more interesting is opinion. Even if the majority agreed, it still does not make it a fact.

But in general, saying it is good or bad, trash or brilliant are words associated with opinion and not fact. Good and bad are subjective and based on personal opinion.

Those similarities are just your opinion. The differences I mentioned are empirically objective facts cos that's just how the films were made, you know?

This 2nd and 3rd movie have no storyline? The people had no purpose? There was no tention and conflict?

Interesting.

Anywho, fun conversation. Take care.
