quote:In announcing his departure, Igarashi said he was striking out on his own to "make the kind of games I really want to make — the same kind I think fans of my past games want as well." That's likely more Metroidvania-style games, or as he calls them, tansaku (exploration) games. Just without the Castlevania name or legacy. From an interview IGA gave back during GDC. That said though he does also mention that it bugs him that he's never managed to make a good 3D game, so v  v

The Metroidvania genre isn't dead, even if Metroid and Castlevania both die. The La Mulana 2 Kickstarter got funded!  (La Mulana is a better Metroidvania than any Metroid or Castlevania game anyway)

ymgve posted:Makes me wonder how bad it was when the developer of loving Fallout 3 and Oblivion felt the game had too many bugs. Keep in mind that Prey 2's development history is.. spotty at best, and aside from that Bethesda's brief and ambiguous statement we've never heard any official word. There have been rumors of a dev strike, and according to Kotaku Bethesda shopped the project a bit before presumably deciding to hand it to Arkane (has been one of their internal studios for a while), something they corroborate with an alleged leaked mail from Raphael Colantonio who gracefully calls game journos "press sneak fucks". There were a ton more rumors so this isn't by any means comprehensive, but it should give you a good idea of how messy the situation apparently is. And that's without even touching the fact that we just genuinely don't know whether there was anything ready beyond the demo of the game that was shown at E3.

Mind that only gamebreaking bugs will ever cause a game to be delayed or cancelled. Most bugs in FO3 and Oblivion were funny or were off the critical path. Older games did not have that kind of QA, so some copies of Daggerfall cannot complete it.

I have a theory that people who make up drinking game rules don't actually drink. Anyway count me among the people who are genuinely excited for E3. Good or bad, it's always a lot of fun to watch.

Fat_Cow posted:Drink one... Aww that list is terrible. Here's a more fun one. Take one drink if a non-video game celebrity is brought out on stage to talk about something that isn't related to video games. Take one drink if a corporate spokesperson makes use of a dated internet meme. Take one drink if a internet or lets play celebrity somehow winds up on stage (for the purposes of this game game developers do not count as internet celebrities.) Take one drink if a painfully embarrassing guys vs girls segment occurs (feel free to drink even more if you feel the need to during this inevitable train wreck.) Take one drink if a streaming problem occurs and a video either cuts out or loses sound. Take another drink if they just decide to go on and not present whatever it was that had the streaming problem. Take one drink if a Hollywood star being a voice actor is treated as big news. Take one drink if we get an "in the interest of time" during the CoD presentation. Take one drink if someone tries to say that games are just as important or respected as films. Take one drink if mocap (whether facial imaging or just plain body work) technology is hyped up as being important for a game. Take one drink if a beloved classic game or franchise is re-imagined as a generic FPS or TPS. Take one drink if the untapped potential of the Chinese console market is mentioned. Finish your drink if its mentioned by Nintendo, who don't even have a Chinese plan announced yet. Finish your drink if they say that The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy XV, Agent, Beyond Good and Evil 2 or any other development hell game is actually coming out in the next year. Take a sip for every game delay announced. Take one drink if any game's release date is actually moved up! Take one drink if Nintendo puts 8-bit SMB Mario on the screen, whether as part of a video, a stage prop or whatever. Take one drink if Reggie Fils-Amie engages in scripted light swearing (drat, rear end, etc.) Finish your drink if Nintendo actually announces any of the following for Wii U (virtual console does not count): Star Fox, Metroid, F-Zero, a second full-fledged 3D Mario game, anything farmed/partnered out to a 3rd party non-Japanese studio. Take one drink if Iwata apologizes, add one additional sip per additional thing he apologizes for. Take one drink if a Nintendo presenter is wearing a stupid hat. Take one drink if an Xbox rep tries to claim they are market leaders in North America. Take one drink if legitimate upgrades to Xbox Live service are announced. Facebook integration does not count. Finish your drink if Halo 5 ISN'T shown with gameplay footage. Take one drink if Microsoft tries to pass off a pre-filmed video as being live Kinnect gameplay. Take one drink if Microsoft tries to say that Windows 8 is great for gaming. Take one drink if Sony feels the need to inform us exactly how much use the Share button has received. Take one drink if the PS Move is actually mentioned. Add one sip per Move game announced. Take one drink if Sony states that they make a profit on the system itself, regardless of game sales. Take one drink if Sony's presentation features a Crash game that doesn't look awful. Take one drink if Sony spends less than ten minutes on the Vita. Take one sip per on camera sports star in the inevitable EA Sports segment. Take one drink if EA's Star Wars shooter literally looks like its just a Battlefield or MoH game that has been reskinned. Take one drink if Mirror's Edge 2 looks like poo poo. Take one sip for every bald person who shows up on stage at the Ubisoft conference. Take one drink if an Ubisoft Rep talks about government surveillance. Take one drink if Aisha says "giant black girl" again. Take a sip every time one of the following phrases is mentioned: "social media", "cloud", "Facebook", "tablet", "mobile", "share", "new audience", "free to play", "timed exclusive", "real gamers", "girl gamers", "gamer girls", "Edward Snowden", "Mountain Dew", "Doritos", "Minecraft", "Input One", "power of Kinnect", "for the first time" (only if it is clearly not the first time that said thing is happening.)

nerdz posted:This is a bit of exaggeration. Yes, you can die in 2 hits to harder monsters (1 shots are usually pretty telegraphed), but considering you can stock up with dozens of healing items before a fight, 2 hits is pretty lenient if you're smart about healing after you get hit. The game teaches you not to panic after you're 1 hit away from death and wait for the best time to heal (using a heal item leaves you vulnerable and rooted for around 3 seconds while you use it.) No Alatreon is the last boss for both single player and Online mode. And it's not 50 hours. It's probably 50 hours or more if you want to fight every monster battle but you just needed to do the 4 or so key quests for every rank until you're rank 8. There's the lower rank Alatreon which can be fought before g-rank too which just requires rank 4 or 5. Let's not forget that Mark of the Hero is probably the biggest blockade from most people getting to village alatreon. Where you have to fight a Lagicrus and then a Bracydos and Rathalos double header with no breaks inbetween.
