Dear Gamology, if you're gonna bring professionals to react to this, then PLEASE educate them into details on what they're seeing. The exact era, the background history. The vague history makes it so that professionals sometimes give wrong remarks, they thing something else. Like RDR2 and Electric street cars. If you had explained it properly, they would have said something else.

[@diogo763]

They hired Architects for Catalyst? Most of those buildings make 0 sense

[@NPC_GENERIC_ENEMY_INFANTRY]

​@@diogo763 ​ Most likely a combo of game design, visual designers, architects, and interior designers, and the final result is what all parties agreed on was the best result.
I mean, it *is* for a game after all, and for a game where parkour is the focus, you'd have to sacrifice some for better gameplay, some for visuals, you get the point.
Architects also get away with quite a bit of stuff because they don't exactly need to focus on gravity, and such can be more lenient in things like supports, complex structures. As long as it doesn't break suspension of disbelief.
I noticed quite a bit of weird room/interior structures when I played the game, so I get what you're pointing at (like someone having a... Cherry Blossom tree in their living room), but as someone who touches game design from time to time, it's pretty hard for me personally to make something like a building make sense if I'm only focusing on the level design. And honestly, seeing enough crazy structures in the world makes me think a lot of the overall building designs are plausible, especially when things like the Lucas Museum, or the Harbin Opera House exist.

[@clayneid]

Glad the artist wanted to see inside, was really feeling like a missed opportunity to only show the outside of the Pyramids when there is the interior + so many other beautiful temples and palaces in the game. As cool as they are, like she said... they are also about as boring, architecturally, as you can get.

[@araisikewai]

The game developer did created GIza interior to explore as well, drawing upon the explored passageway with some liberty taken to create a secret treasure room that was never mapped previously. And much to everyone's surprise, that secret room do actually exist, exactly where they were made in game, when they do penetration scan months after the game released.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Gotham City is traditionally depicted as being located in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Gotham's look and atmosphere was primarily influenced by New York City. Batman co-creator Bill Finger chose the name "Gotham" so that the residents of any city could identify with it.

Gotham is also an actual nickname for New York since at least the 1800s. It's named after an old English village of the same name. The name is Anglo-Saxon and means Goat Home. There's a legend that the villagers pretended to be mad so that the King wouldn't want to visit, as they didn't want to spend money on repairing the road for his visit. That legend of the Madmen of Gotham was later used by a journalist to mock the people of New York for being mad or foolish. Hence the name Gotham became a permanent nickname for New York.

For Assassin's Creed: Unity, they actually used thousands of images and 3D scans of the building to make it as true to life as it possibly could have been. It was actually the most recent, most comprehensive imaging and recreation of the building that the images are actually being used in the restoration work. When ever an Assassin's Creed game has iconic landmarks they, at least used to, put in a ton of work to make it as accurate to life as possible such as the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, the Florence Cathedral, and even the Vatican.

[@assassinbrotherhood8412]

"You have architects on and ONLY show them architecture from games that stole from real life? " I mean every fictional location takes elements from real world places, applies to Night City as well. Morro Bay and Baywood-Los Osos, geographically speaking is the location of the city while in layout Night City closely resembles the street grid of downtown San Francisco. CD Projekt Red has cited Blade Runner, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell as inspirations for the city which themselves took ideas from real world cities. Gotham in the Arkham Knight is as original and unique as Night City in Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't matter if they took idea's from real world landmarks and cities. Would argue that Gotham is far more unique as there's far few gothic art deco 1930s mixed 1980s and modern day cities in media compared to futuristic retro Cyberpunk settings like Cyberpunk, Bladerunner, Judge Dredd, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell.
