Man Woolly World had such good music it makes sense in retrospect why New Island's was so bad. Like they had to sacrifice the music for that game to some genie in order to make Woolly World's so much better.

Especially this track. It's like :unsmith: in song form.

Also in non-Apple, Nintendo or Sony news if we pool all of our money together we can probably pick up an Interplay franchise or two:

Someone with enough capital needs to start rounding up these third-party platforming characters and make a Smash Bros.-like fighter out of them. Invite Gex, Bubsy, Vexx...

I understand a creator using parody as a defense for something riffing on an already existing IP but when it's actual people it starts getting just a biiiiiiit uncomfortable, which is how I feel when I see this Kickstarter project.

7 Day Survivor requires at least 14 consecutive hours of dead rising, probably more if you fail, and if you succeed most of that is standing behind a counter remembering to eat every few minutes

Also don't go into the Food Court during the fourth (?) day or the game will try to load a boss that doesn't function within the geometry of the area or something and the game will poo poo itself.

Hopefully that means we'll start seeing loading screen minigames in 2017/18. I know there was a similar problem with Nintendo's D-pad patent. The patent lifted prior to the release of the Xbox 360 however by that point in time the controller had already been finalized, hence why we didn't get a good d-pad till the redesign/Xbox One controller.

But games today load so fast you don't even need to make microgames for them anymore.

You're paying money to not get Funko Pops. You're paying for that privilege. It seems like it's only gotten worse over the past year. I've seen people, normal people who have an entire section of a wall in their house dedicated to storing the fuckers with no signs of it stopping.

I was thinking that maybe something was happening like with Sakaguchi after Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within bombed but the Warcraft movie actually made a shitton of money because it got released in China and they just can't get enough of lovely American CGI no matter the quality of the framework it's draped over.

You think he was all set to help with the sequel until he was told it had to be retooled entirely for the Chinese market since that's where the money will be flowing from?

Like the movie was supposed to be this worldwide event years in the making and...I think it actually had less of an impact in the West than loving Angry Birds Movie did.

I had actually forgotten a cheap trick the game pulled on you until someone was playing the port wrote something about it. They gave a gun to that one survivor who proceeded to blow his head off rendering his girlfriend unable to be saved even though he asks you for a gun in the first place.

HAL Labs redid their company site it seems and put up this extremely...cute (?) section about how they make video games.

When you peruse the "Who's on the team" section though you begin to see that these men and women pretty much work as many hours as they can until around like, eight in the evening. Great Kirby games don't come easy I guess. It takes a village.

There's even a section on their company brand logo, that doggo with some eggs and an interview with Itoi who created it. But the interview was obviously not translated by the same people who usually did the old Iwata Asks interviews as there's one singular translation choice that sticks out which differentiates the two. I'll let you find out what it is.

Man, I forgot how quickly DR throws those convicts at you. I was trying to carry a survivor through the courtyard and got stuck in a loop of being perforated and dropping her, and being shot or run over when I tried to pick her up. My fault for not leaving her until I got the Maintenance Key, I guess. Also, gently caress that other photographer from the beginning. I spent way to long trying to satisfy his dumb standards. Next time I'll take his picture with a pistol

On a usual run if you're trying to do everything (or at least all possible survivors + the whole story) you'll usually have two (or three I think there's a hidden dude in the entrance plaza on the first day's evening) other survivors to look after in addition to the lady you're carrying as well having to rescue the survivor being chased by the convicts in the cut-scene if you're being efficient with your time management.

The game comes at you hard and fast.

The only time a thread about a new game is good is before the game is actually released.

Smash Bros. threads get better post-release I'd say. In general on the internet.

When it's only months, weeks, days before a title is out is when people start going off the rails and the hype turns dangerous. Hysteria reaches peak levels crazed fans start calling for the heads of the unworthy when they realize their favorite second-banana characters aren't playable.

Then the game comes out and after a few months everyone is pretty chill.

From a Kotaku expose on Star Citizen:

quote:

Once, a source says, Chris came to work after playing The Order: 1886. Impressed by the highly detailed art, he asked CIG’s character artists to match that standard. The team, my sources told me, saw this as impossible.

....

Roberts came back from seeing another in-development CryEngine game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. He had been deeply impressed by the character inventory and outfits system, which involved multiple layers of clothing where each item has different properties, from its material to its weight and shape, that affect how it animates. Chris wanted it for Star Citizen.

...

“We spent four months having to prove ourselves right because that's the way it works with Chris Roberts. He will never believe you if you say you can't do something. You have to actually spend the time to make the entire thing and then show him when you push the button it doesn't work. That was a persistent issue. The team lost four months on that, a lot of manpower and hours, proving that, yes, in fact that doesn't work.”

There's fathoms more info in the link above but I just wanted to highlight that Roberts has "Broussard-itis" and eventually Zenimax will have to buy out and finish Star Citizen.
