From the deluxe edition artbook. Funny how people compare the game to Invincible so much, and yet Robert was almost designed to resemble a much younger Cecil Stedman anyway, even with similar jobs. Heck, they even shared the same facial scar lmao.
Just a really stupid meme I made based off that Debbie/Omni-Man dinner flashback scene from Invincible. 🤣
Looks like the twerking Phenomaman meme is now canon. 🤣
Wish Travis made it to episode 4, though. That'd be interesting to see...
Now that an infinite dispatching mode is more or less confirmed by AdHoc, I decided to check out the old dispatching UIs at the deluxe edition's artworks. If devs want to bring a bit of a variety in the new mode, they can combine the current and a bit of the old UIs from the early development phase.
Personally, I like the white 3D overhead design of Torrence. It gives off huge Mirror's Edge Catalyst vibes, and that was one of my favorite games.
At one part of a recent interview with the blog site Mothership (link: https://www.mothership.blog/in-dispatch-blonde-blazer-and-invisigal-dont-get-equal-screentime-but-its-not-developer-bias-adhoc-says/), Dispatch director Nick Herman shared his own take on Visi's sex dream in ep 4: "It's a dream Robert's having. When she wakes up and you realize you're with her, it's more impactful."
I mean, the reason that scene exists is to shake the players by switching the POV. But what I don't get is why he thinks Robert will be seeing that dream.
When I first played the game and this scene rolled out, I didn’t even think it was a dream at all. I thought it took place the same night of ep 3 and Visi was just having deep desires about Robert in bed after returning home. But that is the point: the scene was designed to be from Visi's perspective, whether it's fantasy or not. The whole scene also looked very female-gazed despite its somewhat lewd nature.
But never have I ever believed Robert would be fantasizing having sex with Visi ever. He remotely doesn’t show any romantic interest in Visi in the previous two episodes. If any, he instead depicts a more mentor figure, up until the moment the player chooses to go to the movies with Visi.
Sorry for the rant here, but it seems like Nick doesn’t really understand the true intent of the scene here (no offense to him or any of the devs). What do you think of his take?
