Looks like that list mentioned Rock Band Blitz a few hours before it was announced? It's Fayk's lucky day, he'll have three more people to play with for the week it takes them to give up!

Assuming it's real I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it has GGPO but given that TM on a modern console is worth $15 to me whoever's doing the port will have to gently caress up reaaaaally bad not to get my money.

NxC really needed better pacing and more challenging combat. Endless Frontier improves the battle system a bit but that game has a whole bunch of other problems.
That game is not going to be a fighting game though so too bad for Bayonetta fans like me.

It's crazy to me that Capcom still has the rights to JoJo's apparently but hasn't really done anything with it. Really strange. Anyway I'll pick it up and drop it in a week just like Mio Bison says.

Yeah but it's also a thing outside of being a video game, which is where the licensing thing comes in. It's not like Capcom is squandering a license to print money by not making more games with an IP that no one has heard of.

ThePhenomenalBaby

Yeah.

Well it's popular in Japan (or at least the license was right?) but yeah nowadays you get a better return of investment if you make a new game that can actually sell in every region. Most of the stuff that actually stays in Japan now is super esoteric or very loving creepy.

They actually have done more things with the Jojo IP.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea_TopSegr0&feature=relmfu
A game based on the first generation of Jojo, "Phantom Blood"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W_Fj-qX1SE
A game based on the fifth generation of Jojo, "Golden Wind"

They just aren't fighting games.

EDIT: IIRC, there were plans to translate Golden Wind, but the author's habit of naming characters and powers after music references and his insistence that they shouldn't be changed made it a copyright landmine.

Jojo can actually be thought of as multiple series. Early on it looked and I guess felt a lot like HnK but the longer it went on the more it took a life of its own. The beginning of the story is a tale of Jonathan Joestar in 19th century England. His father finds an ancient stone mask that is able to turn people into vampires. His evil adopted brother, Dio uses it to transcend humanity, and plans to build an army of the undead, including a superpowered Jack the Ripper and reanimated Ancient Knights.Jonathan has to stop him using the secret martial art of the ripple, Hamon. The next generation involves his grandson, Joseph Joestar, fighting against the Nazi's who want to use that same power again. Third generation is Jotaro Kujo having to travel from Japan to Egypt to fight again the resurrected Dio and his minions, using the newly discovered power of "stands". Fourth is Josuke Higashitaka looking for a super powered serial killer in a small town. Fifth is Giorno Giovanna rising in the ranks in a superpowered Italian Mafia. Sixth is Jolyne Kujo surviving a prison full of superpowered people. Seventh is an alternate timeline. Seventh is Jhonny Joestar in a race across an alternate universe wild west.

One of the main draws of the series is that the author is extremely creative with powers and fights. He already gets crazy using Hamon, but the stands basically have no rules as to what is or isn't possible. Stop time. Erase time. Turn anything into a bomb. Turn anything into dinosaurs. Get eaten by a flesh eating mold if you lower your body in altitude. Turn non-living things into living things (i.e. a pipe turns into a snake). Soften things as hard as diamonds. Steal people's souls in gambling games. Turn people into children. Turn your body into string. Summon meteors. Copy and paste sounds onto things. Flatten anything, even people, by deflating them. Turn people's flesh into pages of a book and read their thoughts and memories. It goes on and on and is always amazing.

EDIT: also everything is Fab as gently caress.

REBIRTH OF HARDCORE PRIDE!

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:

I think HDR's ST mode is based off the Dreamcast version of ST which has a few of its own quirks, but I don't have a clue what they are.

For those who care, there's a good thread in the ST forum on SRK discussing every ST port, you can read it here. The HDR info is in a post further down, but I'll c/p the important parts here:

megaultrasuper posted:

good things
Ken and other characters with the issue can't reversal super just like in arcade ST.
-old characters are there like normal
-all old glitches present
-generally 99% accurate

bad things
-hosed up button config screens
-speed is significantly slower than arcade ST, slower than Super X, and a little bit slower than the dreamcast.
-HD graphics cause some weirdness occasionally. (point blank blocked fireball appears on the wrong side of the blocker)
-one additional frame of input delay

and most importantly:

There is a glitch that occurs wherein a super move will start without shadows or the super sound effect. It's delayed by about 1/2 second. This can actually impact the outcome of a match.

If you're curious about that last part, he explains it in the thread. It's just long and I don't really want to quote another huge block of text that not many people will care about.

It's not exactly an obscure property in Japan, and Capcom has definitely NOT had it consistently since 1999 - Namco/Bandai had it for a bit I think.

Also, Cinroth and I should be put on suicide watch. Watch them gently caress it up if it does happen.

Ah well, we'll see. It could possibly be the first time a real training mode (with autoblock options etc) will exist for JJBA:HFTF (only the PSX one had it).

But then if the rumors of it happening and being Iron Galaxy are true... well, they didn't even have an input display in 3SOE.

RE: Jojo's. If Capcom made a port it would kill the GGPO one and we'll have to pray that it isn't terrible. I don't think it's a good idea and even if Capcom did it I don't see them profiting from it since I don't remember the game being popular outside of FG circles.

My assumption - if it's true and it's Heritage for the Future - is that it's simply them being pracitcal about what would be an inexpensive project, since it's also CPS3-based and presumably 3SOE would pave the way for them.

We'll see. No one else (other than me) will cry about it killing the GGPO community which is even smaller than the GGPO vsav community (which is doing pretty well these days, considering).

Maybe it'll be Japan only, who knows.

I meant it's not really tournament ready, but a blast with friends. I'd say Save the Earth is the best one to get. First one, Destroy All Monsters Melee, doesn't have enough monsters and the third one, Unleashed, uses Wii controls. It does have Biollante though. Fair warning, you have to unlock almost all of the characters in all of the games.

I think video games in general like to stick to a lot of old, dumb things just because people are so used to them, but it really shows off the issues with unlockable characters when you get games that pretty much hide all of the multiplayer content until you complete single player. It's like self-satire at that point. Especially if the game's single player mode is really bad, like just about every fighting game ever.

MK9 nearly had it right. Have all of the characters unlocked in multiplayer but have a story mode with characters you unlock. Now that I think about it, BlazBlue had the same idea. BlazBlue's problem is it has a terrible story mode.
