But the visuals are nowhere near what they could and should be  (Also insert some complaining about it being an old game and not a version of MH4 or something) Edit- serious post now, I wonder how it'll go over with attendees considering it's hard to get a hold of at first. Did 3G change any core mechanics or just add content? japtor fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Bobnumerotres posted:I honestly can't tell the difference. Depending on how far away you are, you might have a hard time telling the difference on a 32 inch TV. A bigger TV or a smaller distance between you and the screen makes it more clear. It matters more on a computer monitor because there's a good chance the monitor is almost all of your vision.

(I am 21 and have 20:20 vision and a 32 inch 1080p TV. I don't know what the gently caress is 1080 and what's 560. 480 on the Wii kind of looks like poo poo though.)

Judging by 3DS videos, attack speeds and attacks in general haven't changed (noticeably) from MHP3. Weapons have been rebalanced damage-wise but they're still working on the damage charts, and then they'll have to work on the translations so we can understand exactly how hard we are hitting virtual animals in the face with giant anime hammers.

I'm not begging for the return of sprites or anything but a Rayman-like portrayal would be vastly superior to what we've got.

I always feel like sprites never reached their potential peak, cut-off by the arrival of N64/PSX/Saturn and the failure of 32x/SegaCD. But then you see the Neo-Geo games going up well past 2000 and it's amazing what some of the games look like. I can think of loads of SNES/Genesis games that would be incredible with Neo-Geo detail/smoothness. Unfortunately 3D in a 2D perspective is easier to make  Oh and not to mention quite a few efforts on DS showed examples of i guess, current gen sprite-gaming and the fact it's still very popular. Things like Scribblenauts having sprite rotation and physics was interesting, you could imagine a lot of ways of adding that kind of power into older titles too. infinity2005 fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Moving from Mario to another WiiU platformer... Rayman Legends has been delayed until Q1 2013 quote:"We're happy that fans are excited about the game, and we are taking the time to make sure we deliver a game that lives up to and hopefully exceeds their expectations. We'll have more details to share soon." I really hope this is them going "Well poo poo people don't want Murphy levels? Guess we'd better take them out". Because I will gladly wait longer if that's the case.

The Wario game on the Wii was absolutely beautiful. I've love to see a hand animated Mario like that. Has anyone played Sonic all stars racing? I watched the trailer for the new one and I'm getting major Diddy Kong racing vibes crossed with a little F Zero GX. It looks like it seriously might be good. Any opinions?

Nope, I actually forgot it came out. I was just expecting a Sonic game to bomb, I guess. Anyway, there's a thread for the sequel here (though the OP got banned).

It felt like you were rewarded for playing the game. There was only one DLC character and track. Metal Sonic and the Death Egg Station or something like that.

They could also make the best of it and make the camera whip around after a death or stage end. Personally I'd like to see something that plays like 3DLand on a console.

Rayman is an excellent example of how to do modern sprites. Super fluid animations, and a lightning engine that makes the environments seem alive and dynamic.

KOF is definitely not a newbie-friendly fighter though. All sorts of 100% -> 0 combos and a crazy amount of tech stuff you need to learn before you can play the game properly. I agree though, KOF XIII looks incredible.

greatn posted:The Wario game on the Wii was absolutely beautiful. I've love to see a hand animated Mario like that. Something like DKCR is about as reasonably happy as I can be with '2.5D' art design, and it does allow for some uniquely fluid backgrounds and active pacing. But up until Rayman Origins hit, Wario Land: Shake It! was honestly the most beautiful purely 2D game I'd ever played. It's still dizzying to me just how much detail is drawn into the remotest background object or terrain, and the sprite animations themselves have pretty much cartoon-caliber fluidity. Seeing 2D Mario titles move in that direction would be a dream come true.

been lurking, don't think this has been addressed, so apologies if i'm mistaken Ok, what I'm intensely wary of is the fact that there are no Wiimotes out of the box, giving developers seemingly no incentive to develop games with that control scheme in mind. I greatly enjoyed wiimote control, I know it's not everyones cup of tea but even without motion control options (waggle, etc) i found it real comfy. Are my fears mistaken? Will the install base concerning the massive numbers of Wii's sold help negate developers (seeming) lack of incentive to include wii-mote control? What do you think?

I've already got a full set of remotes, so I appreciate not having to pay extra for some. Nintendo will be making sure to supply stores with a lot of Wiimote/Nunchuk bundles that are Wii-U branded so that even the most confused consumer will know "I can use this". They've got this poo poo covered.

I'd really prefer the Pro controller became the norm for local multiplayer, and Wii remotes would only be used where it made sense.

They mention they're for the Wii U, and then say they're compatible with the original Wii. Hopefully, that alleviates some confusion. It ain't like the packaging for them is overly complicated.
