Is there a particular name for that visual style where technology is mixed with magic? Are there games that do this?
Can only think of Destiny (to a certain extent ingame but mostly in early concept art) and Final Fantasy 12 with the whole crystal stuff
Leo Reyes
Quite a few. You up for high tech society remnants where everyone regressed to magic or steamshit pushing at traditional magic? How about contemporary setting but with (((magic)))?
Noah Morales
"Science fantasy" is the genre
Levi White
Magitek? I dont know.
I do know that warhammer 40k has a ton of technology mixed with magic as well.
Mason Cruz
Anything, if you've got names post 'em
Forgot about Warhammer, too bad they don't have many vidya
Dylan Myers
Like I said, way too many. Might and Magic for one example.
Nathaniel Ross
Isn't Might and Magic just dudes in armor and magic?
Hudson Sanchez
Nope. Now, you got a genre or niche in mind or what?
Hudson Stewart
FF stole the techno magic thingy from Ultima, along with the whole gameplay.
Aaron Smith
I like modern tech and magic
Never played this because I'm gay, sorry
Eli Cook
That's alright, start with Ultima 7 if you would okay.
Grayson Jackson
Anyone suddenly start thinking of Outlaw Star? Anyway OP the term you are looking for is Science-Fantasy.
Dylan Roberts
Richard Garriott is a cuckold.
Dominic Brown
I thought "Magitech" was the name for it but it's not a very big style so it doesn't really have a concrete name.
Gabriel Taylor
ArcanuM
Adam Sanders
Doesn't make Ultima 7 any less good, faggot.
Matthew Howard
There you go. Original Shadowrun, Dragonfall or Hong Kong, Redemption or Masquerade, Shadow Warrior. Gabriel Knight, Fahrenheit, Dark, Elex, Secret World. Various weebshit.
Don't make shit up.
Joseph Bailey
fuck that's a good list thanks
Alexander Stewart
Don't be so fucking retarded.
Eli Stewart
I will not learn your special pronouns. Stay triggered.
Joseph Myers
Stay retarded. I bet you don't even know who Edgar Burroughs is.
Jack Price
Good job faggot at ousting yourself for knowing fuck all.
Evan Sanders
I could forgive you for the first one seeing this board is intended for shitposting anyway but your taste in books is terminally shit.
You don't get to bring friends.
James Morales
He's not my friend and you're still an idiot, it's a long established term. Exactly what the combination of Science Fiction and Fantasy elements is called

Parker Wood
What about star wars?
Lincoln Powell
Holla Forums is just about to eat you alive you know that right? At least the portion that actually reads books not burn it
Austin Lewis
It's Science Fantasy you stupid nigger.
Samuel Nelson
You are just deliberately fishing for (You)'s now.
Eli Morris
You're confusing me with the other user
Is it? That's a bit of a stretch
Lucas Rivera
Why does he trigger Holla Forums or something?
Liam Scott
More his works trigger Holla Forums He took the piss out of Gommies a lot.

Star Wars is a criticism of the modern society that replaces spiritual faith with technological progress based on the cultural phenomenon young George saw as a 60's kid. In Star Wars, no matter how advanced the technology they posses, it's still powerless and irrelevant in comparison with the Force. I don't know if it can be categorized as techno magic fantasy, the role of the Force is deeper than simply magic.
Nolan Roberts
Yes, it's called "retarded" and "for children"
Samuel Campbell
uuuuuuuh, midichlorians aren't magic
:^) no but seriously I had forgotten about he force being kind of magic
Juan Bell
Force is the God, midichlorians are the Holy Spirit.
Jacob Gomez
Nier and blue dragon
Ayden Turner
And Jar-Jar is Jesus, right? I've heard this one before.
David Russell
unrelated but this is possibly one of my favorite pictures of all time
Justin King
Dunno, but that fart scene was absolutely funny tbh.
Jackson Walker
Arcanum might be up your alley.
Lincoln Jenkins
Anyway, the first big trend-setter was DOOM, followed by Quake. But the games OP mentioned are hardly successors to a particular style.
Ethan Gray
They can try. I'll even sweeten the deal and say that Mein Kampf was shadow written.
It's called good or shit depending on the work. Simple, I know, but you must admit it fits the bill.
Ethan Phillips
I said the original plans. When destiny started off that was the point.
wut
Adam Clark
No, it was Ultima. Even Romero was heavily influenced by Ultima.
Samuel Phillips
Drakengard/Nier comes to mind
Josiah James
I was just listing different names someone could call a game with tech-magic mix. Post-apocalyptic fantasy was referring to settings where there's ruins of an ancient civilization that were so advanced their artifacts are revered as magic (or just are magic).
Oh, sorry. I don't know much about Ultima.
Nathaniel Brown
ah sorry
Easton Green
I'm currently watching it actually.
Easton Anderson
Check out shadowrun series as well obviously. Like Shadowrun:Hong Kong, and Shadowrun:Dragonfall.
Mason Fisher
Overdone?
Ayden Howard
only two games do this, quake and destiny. both of them have the same shit: a portion of the dev team wanted to do a fantasy game, the other wanted to do what they were already good at, they met in the middle.
Anthony Mitchell
Yes, autism.
Jason Fisher
...
Andrew Martin
Are there any decent custom campaigns or mods for these games? I felt the base games were incredibly lacking.
Brody Gonzalez
ET-TREE-AN Odyssey has this as a twist near the end.
Blake Gomez
the 'rise of nations'-spinoff called 'rise of legends' had this. it was somewhat fun; i enjoyed the campaign, but the multiplayer got very old very fast. i'd say it's worth playing once-thru for the campaign tho.
Thomas Green
MAGITECH

Ultima 2 is shit compared to Ultima 1. You just sail around the world looking for baddies to grind so you can accumulate enough shekels to bribe the guy at the Hotel California and hope he'll raise your stats except he eventually screws you over 'cause when your stats hit 99 he can raise them further and overflow them down to 0. And you have to sail 'cause a bug prevents you from consuming food so it's the only way to stretch out your funds.
