What is the app here, mister /v/?
My name is Igorr R. Robotnik, and I'm a supersonic scientist, I'm the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. My principal mission is to defeat the Mega Carrefour Spinning Fast Hedgehogh, Sonic, but I've-ya got a little extra time to meet ya app.

Here's the trick: You can come with me to my robotnical "EGGMAN-ey-A" flying fortress and play all the vay deyyou games you want, but first you must riddle me this:

I've got two asses or it's just two oxtails? My orange furr is sweating, 'cause Sonic is jerking.

Hi /v/ , I come to you today with a question about vidya

I remember as a kid back in the late 90's going to this one kids house to Play Road Rash on his Panasonic 3DO. Shit was fucking awesome. I hated the kid, but I loved fighting other motor bikers as I raced.

And than getting knocked off my bike and having to run on foot to where ever my by bike slid off to and then getting back into the race. That shit was SO fun.

Is there any recent games you can recommend within the last 5 years on either 360 or PC where you can battle other bikers as you race? something like a modern gen road rash experience would be awesome.

Holy hell, are people this pathetic that they watch Game Grumps to simulate having friends instead of watching the videos to get something funny from the game?

It's too bad, because I was really loving the Sonic 06 playthrough they were doing until they started to not give a fuck.

You cuntnuggets are going to explain RIGHT FUCKING NOW why you like Sonic Generations over Sonic Adventure. Sonic Adventure had better gameplay, a better plot, and was definitely more charming given everything about it is a reference to a previous Sonic/Sega game.

I'm looking for some new games to play. I don't really mind what kind of genre, so long as we keep it to the Gamecube. Haven't really played that many games for it despite owning one for 10 years now.

Already have list:

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Mario Sunshine
Star Fox Adventures
Eternal Darkness
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
OOT, MM, Zelda 1 & 2 on promo disc
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Sonic Heroes
Super Smash Bros Melee
Resident Evil
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3

No multiplats, probably already played it on PS2/Xbox/PC

General discussion too I guess.

Why do people keep thinking "name the new game the same as the first game" is a good idea when they are always total garbage? Even if they would be okay it's still a pain and causes fans to develop an unofficial name to differentiate between them in conversation.

Has there ever been a case where the same-name reboot actually was good?

I don't quite understand why some people - or even Sega themselves - think that Sonic, Tails and Dr. Eggman should be the ONLY characters ever in a Sonic game.

Mind you, I'm not exactly a fan of the hundreds of characters they've added these days, but I feel as if modern Sega isn't giving enough love to the characters that helped Sonic ascend in his career.

I think these are the most important characters to the series:
Sonic - the hero
Tails - the hero's best friend
Knuckles - the hero's rival
Amy - the hero's girlfriend
Eggman - the villain
Metal Sonic - the hero's evil copy, made by the villain

Note how all of these characters have a close relationship to the hero. Anyone else is mostly superfluous.

So /v/, I recently ordered Dark Souls for PC.
I've played it before, [spoiler]pirated,[/spoiler] and the controls are complete shit. It even has controller prompts, instead of mouse+keyboard. Has this been patched/fixed at all?

If not, what's a good PC controller to get so I may play this game as it was intended? I was lookin' at Subsonic Pro/Eco controllers, they're dirt cheap and seem reasonable, but of course they're all sold out.

/v/, I had to reinstall W7, and I can't figure out where my Sonic & All-stars Transformed save file is.
There's no obvious save file or folder in the program directory or the user directory, which I saved on another drive.
Yes, I pirated it.
Yes, I feel shame and probably deserve this because Sega has become a godly developer that respects the PC master race like no other.
I want to buy this godly game if it's ever on a steam sale.
But for now, I just want my tracks and characters back.
tl;dr does anyone know where this save information is?
Not a single obvious file, folder, or anything.
Google-fu has failed me, too.
In return, various images from my /v/ folder.

Top selling video games for each console since 6th generation:

Xbox: Halo 2: 8 million
360: Kinect Adventures: 24 million

Gamecube: Super Smash Bros Melee: 7 million
Wii: Wii Sports: 82 million
Wii U: Nintendo Land: 2 million

Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure: 2.5 million

PS2: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: 17 million
PS3: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: 12 million

So what have we learned? Wii Sports for the Wii sold more copies than the top selling game of every system combined since the 6th generation, including the Gamecube and Wii U.

Sad, isn't it?

Why do people hate this game so much? I do admit the edgyness is dumb, I can see that. The story is retarded. Why the fuck is Shadow half alien? I also agree that the guns dose come out of nowhere. There is no in game explanation on why Shadow decides to use them. 

However, despite that, the controls work fine, or atleast on the Gamecube version. The guns work fine too. The best part of the game however is the freedom it gives you. You have a choice to do what missions you want and what levels you want. The story flaws to me are just so bad its good. Lets face it, SA2 had a stupid complicated storyline from the start. While I don't want a sequel because Sega is doing a good job with the newer Sonic games, I would like to have a game that gives you the same freedom Shadow gives you on a platforming game instead of an RPG only alot more better.

What happened to them /v/? The Sega of old?

I'm geniunly asking this because I'm really curios. At what capicity does Sega exist?

So yeah there is Sonic Team, I know AM2 still does Virtua Fighter...but the rest?

Like there are still Monkey Ball games...

Yuji Naka has been having his own Studio, what are they up to?

Yu Suzuki has some company too...?

I remember all these logos popping up on Dreamcast games...Hitmaker on Crazy Taxi and Confidental Mission. Wow Entertaiment on Sega Super GT and HoTD. Smilebit on Jet Set Radio and Panzer Dragoon Orta.
And Rez too with UGA

Will AM2 ever develop another game other than Virtua Fighter??

If these developers won't work for Sega now; where are they now? Like Lead Artists, Designers and Directors?

I wanna know badly

>Would literally not eat some days just so I could get more games
>Dad lost his job, family has no money. Mom was forced to sell my sega and all my games (kept a couple like RBI Baseball, Vectorman, and Sonic hidden so she couldn't sell them)
>Never got the chance to own an N64 as a kid because no monies
>16 years later, go out yesterday and buy a N64 that was in perfect condition. No scratches, no dings, all panels still intact.
>Feel so excited that I'll finally get a chance to play [spoiler]no games[/spoiler]

comment:
People love to throw the words "casual" and "hardcore" around without really knowing what they mean, so I've devised an objective scale.

From 0 being the least casual to 3 being the most casual:

Level-0: You can win or lose
Level-1: You can lose, but never win
Level-2: You can win, but never lose
Level-3: You can never win or lose

0: Game has clearly defined conditions for WINNING and LOSING. The game is over when you WIN or LOSE. Games with finite numbers of lives and continues are this. Super Mario Bros, Contra, Sonic the Hedgehog, and roguelikes are this.

1: Game has clearly defined conditions for LOSING, but no conditions for WINNING. The game goes on forever until you LOSE. In theory, most oldschool arcade games are this (in practice, killscreens bump them up to Level-0).

2: Game has clearly defined conditions for WINNING, but LOSING is a slap on the wrist. Any game that has save points, or unlimited continues, or checkpoints is this. Angry Birds, Super Meat Boy, and most RPG's are this.

3: Game has no clearly defined conditions for WINNING or LOSING. It's just a sandbox where you run around completing arbitrary goals. MMORPG's and Minecraft are this.

So the question I ask you /v/, what level are you?

Recently I purchased a Supercard SD Mini, and well... It's a piece of shit. Slowdowns for Metroid ZM, Megaman Zero (1 won't even fucking load, 2 is slowdowns every time something explodes or there are multiple enemies on the scren), Metal Slug Advance... And these are just games that I tried in the first hour or so of getting this, I'm sure the list goes on and on.
So is EZ Flash IV any better? For the most part I'm just looking for a flash cart that can run the MMZ(1-4) and Metroid (ZM and Fusion) GBA games flawlessly. I'm kind of surprised that DS Flashcarts have none of these problems, but this one is just buggy as fuck. 

Also I tired it on both a GB Player and my SP, so the problem is definetly not on my end. I also tried both of bubble2k's patches (fastrestart and pfpatch), saw a noticeable difference for Sonic Advance, but none for Megaman Zero 1 (still was a blank screen when loaded)

Changed this image a bit from one I saw in another thread. What would YOU say are the top five 2D platformers? For that matter, let's try to settle on top fives from each genre (but for the sake of time, let's stick to 2D for right now). 

Guaranteed spots: 

Super Mario Advance 4
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Kirby Super Star

>"We have 7,000 developers who've signed up for developer accounts," she says. The vast majority of those are first time devs, apparently.
Yeah even assuming they actually develop, both iOS and Android already have 7,000+ shitty apps.

>Uhrman's detailing the certification process for games on OUYA, outlining the various requirements -- basic stuff like not making pornographic content or content that infringes IP.
Darn it, there goes my fucking "Sonic the Poon-hog" "app" idea!

>"We don't want to just be the first ones out, we want to create this great experience for developers and games in a storefront that they really love. So any time we update our specifications with new chips, you don't have to worry that it won't be backward compatible."
Yeah sure, even iOS has fragmentation as to what older hardware can/can't run. Paying another $99 a year doesn't justify it either, just buy a Wii U/PS4/Next Xbox instead with that cash.

>"At the end of this month we ship our units to Kickstarter backers. We have a sixty day preview period before we go live in June to retailers. In those 60 days, we're gonna iterate on our UI, get more games, and we're also gonna work on our discovery experience for games."
>Looks like the first OUYA's will be a bit of a beta test.
Not much to say, Ben Gilbert said it for me

>"We're the un-console, so we have no competitors," Urhman jokes, when asked about OUYA compared to Wii U / PlayStation 4. "We're carving out our own niche in the marketplace ... and for $99, we don't think it's an either/or decision."
Even more of a niche when something like the cheaper Android Mini PC RK3066 apparently runs stuff better...

>"The idea that we'll have subscription-based games is very exciting," Uhrman says, speaking to the OUYA's marketplace flexibility.
Along with all the bullshit free-to-pay-us-lots-of-money-to-play ones.

Some of you might remember in 2012 the bad fiscal year happened, along that some games were cancelled. It wasn't mentioned which, so I'm bring some light into this.

The canclled titles were:

Conduit 3DS

Ryuta Ueda's Next-gen project:
Udea-san was Art Direcor on Jet Set Radio, worked on Panzer Dragoon, was Lead Designer on the first couple of Yakuza games, and made Rise of Nightmares.
Little is knows about the project, except that it involved a "stylish underworld setting" and a Kamen Rider style transformations.

Makoto Usaki's project:
AM2 veteran who worked on all the "Virtua" and Racing games, first Console project since Shenmue. The Idea was to team up with the Valkyria Chronicles Team to create a Dragon's Dogma/Dark Souls equavilent - an ambitios task.

Takashi Yuda:
Character Designer on Sonic 3 and Director of Space Channel 5. A slower plattformer for 3DS. Like Ristar or Billy Hatcher, new and original character. Not more is known.

Ultimately Sega did not viability in these projects. Nagoshi's Binary Domain is the only new IP project that took off. It failed heavily.

I worked at Sega West last year.

It was a fine summer day. Sonic the hedgehog was doing his usual runs. 

Sonic: Look at this day. Its so great. Look at the birds in the trees 

Sonic then noticed he was going pretty fast. 

Sonic: AAAAAHHHH. I can't stop. Somebody help. 

Sonic was going so fast he was too hard for anyone to see. Sonic ran for a long time

Sonic: I got to stop. I got to stop.

Sonic then noticed he was going slower and slower. Finally he stopped

Sonic: Woo. That really tired me out.

Sonic then saw Amy who was in a police suit but the way she was dressed made her look beautiful. Sonic gazed at her. She was dressed with a red belly shirt, long socks, red shorts, and she had a blue police coat and hat.

Sonic: Gee. I think I better go home now

Amy then saw Sonic and cuffed him.

Sonic: Amy what are you doing?

Amy: Sonic, you're under arrest for broken the limit of speed

Sonic's thoughts: Wait. It must be because I was going to fast today.

Sonic was so tired he couldn't say or do anything but to let Amy put him in her police car.

Sega employee here. There will be a new big Sonic game announced this E3. It won't be Sonic Adventures 3, but the project started with that in mind, just like Sonic 2006. It will be release on PS4, the next Xbox and PC.

We will also announce Jet Set Radio Future HD with online co-op. The sales of JSR HD were great, and we are evaluating if we should make the third game on the series, depending on how much the HD sequel sells.

We are also thinking big about PC gaming. You may notice that we are giving more attention to it, because it's more and more profitable these days. This is important to us and the industry because a lot of companies and developers, after this generation, are worried about consoles. PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 are in their last days, and the Wii U is not selling. The console market is flying to smartphones and mobile gaming, and may ignore the PS4 and the next Xbox, mainly because of its expensive cost, both for consumers and developers. If consoles stop being profitable, we won't support them anymore.

Remember Dreamcast? It was our last console. Although there are no plans to release our own consoles, we are also evaluating the release of our own "Steambox". It wasn't our original idea: it came from Valve, and they are willing to help us if we decide to make it real. The only problem is that there will be a lot of Steamboxes from other companies, and we don't want to compete against 5 or 10 companies in the same field.

See you in this E3!

Man the Saturn was one of the biggest blunder of all of time.

Instead of continuening the legacy of the Genesis/md, there was no Sonic, instead of Shinobi and Streets of Rage we got mediocore plattformers like Clockwork Knights and Astal. Instead of continuing Phantasy Star legacy, they instead made Sakura Wars and licenced Anime RPG games, that only stayed in Japan.

Nights was nice, but really just not a replacement for Sonic, all you do is fly trough rings...just dissapointing for a major game.

The Arcade ports of stuff like Daytona 2 and VF2 and Panzer Dragoon were the only highlight. Even then...Daytona had a really poor port.

A poor gaming machine, 3rd party support bad, weak 1st party

Why do people say Sonic 2 is the best 2D Sonic game when Sonic 3/3&K is? I'm just curious because 3K improved in every way.

I mean, it introduced:
>Powerups
>Big, explorable levels
>Connected acts (so it seems like 1 huge zone)
>Slighty different-themed acts.
>Short cutscenes inbetween zones to show how Sonic gets there.

Sonic 2 was just like Sonic 1, but faster, with bigger levels and a spindash.

Can someone explain? Is it nostalgia, or is there something I'm missing? Unless you compare things like the zone themes and music, I guess that's just a matter of opinion.

With all the shit that the 360 and PS3 get, can we have a discussion about the best parts of them? By this, I mean XBLA and the PSN Store. The only physical games I've ever bought for my PS3 are Catherine and Twisted Metal; Halo 3 and the various music games for my 360. Now, for downloadable titles for PS3, you have a shit ton of PS1 games for cheap like FF7, Um Jammer Lammy, Persona 2, and way more. Other than that, you have Journey, MM9 and 10, the Sonic Adventure series and more. The 360 has the "indie game" library with cheap titles like Techno Kitten Adventure and Hurdle Turtle. I feel that the great online libraries are the only things keeping me from playing consoles at all, despite me playing PC mustard race exclusively.

I'm having so much goddamn fun. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since Kid Icarus Uprising. I can't fucking believe they have football manager as a playable character.

I just beat it last night on my first time playing. It was tedious to raise and lower the water levels, but never difficult or confusing. Anyone who had a hard time is retarded (probably the same people who couldn't work the barrel in Sonic 3)

Sonic thread 

I'm going to be honest, I hated Secret Rings. I remember at the time, people loved the game saying it was much better than 06. I kept feeling like they were talking about the wrong games. Sonic 06 with its crappy plot and bland levels, seem to control decently. It was a mediocre. Secret Rings was just unplayable with the motion controls. The plot was fine for a Sonic game but its gameplay was horrible. I fucking hated that stupid Dino Jungle level most of all. Am I the only one who thinks this?

What is the glitch that racers do that lets them spin constantly in the air and move nearly twice as fast? It makes them impossible to hit and it breaks the races because they finish about a 40+ seconds ahead of every and half the racers don't finish,
Does this glitch mean all the best times on the leader are skewed because of this glitch?

I can't be the only one that thinks that Sonic Unleashed was the last time Sega put some actual effort into a Sonic game right?

I mean, sure it has a ton of problems that were fixed in Colors and Generations, but Unleashed feels as if it had love poured into it. The look of the stages, the hubs (even if people didn't like them) the environments, the fact that the werehog was actually playable compared to previous non-sonic gameplay in 3d games (the main problem with it is that it's boring, long and not fitting in a Sonic game), humans that don't look out of place, and a whole bunch of things. 

So, Sonic thread?

title: Wiiware titles weren't having
comment:
So years ago when I bought my Wii, I bought Wii points and got a few Wiiware games, and I don't remember when I bought points last but it was awhile ago. I have 1400 points left.

What the hell should I buy with them?

I have:

Secret of Mana (can emulate but it's just better to play with friends so was worth virtual console for this one game)
Mega Man 9
Mega Man 10
Sonic 4 Ep 1 (kind of regret this, it's alright I suppose)
Bomberman Blast (first Wiiware game I got, totally worth it, lots of fun)
Gradius Rebirth (eh.. mostly remixed levels, didn't get the other rebirth games because of that)
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and it's scenarios.. okay.. but it does kind of nickle and dime you pretty bad.

Anything else worth getting on Wiiware or should I just blow it on a SNES game and a NES game and forget about the last 100 points or something?

He is right about what happened to Overworks, Smilebit and AV, but so wrong about what became of WOW and Hitmaker etc.. It's totally wrong that the Japanese Teams have only being Sonic and Yakuza. Odd titles like Rythm Thief and Feel the Magic, and of course the above Arcade games.

Sup /v/. i'm pretty sure most people enjoyed sonic generations. Sure it didn't quite match up to the originals but those games are long gone.

Recently, a team decided to re-create (or rather, port) the levels from (daytime) sonic unleashed into the Generations engine. And a few days ago, it finished. There's no RPG bullshit, no werehog retardation, just lots of fast. It works with any installation, just have to extract some files, and run the game.

So guys and gals of /v/ when you play a video game where you get to choose the gender of the character you play as, do you choose your own gender or the opposite? I've seen people say it's not manly to play as a girl, but I don't really agree with that.

I'm male, and when a game has a character create function I usually make a male character, such as in Dark Souls, Soul Calibur, and Dragon's Dogma.

But in games where you don't get to make your character I usually end up choosing one of the females. Presea and Raine in Tales of Symphonia, Pascal in Tales of Graces, Amy in Sonic & Sega Racing, etc.

Can being "edgy" destroy a game even if its good or decent? To me, its the same thing like saying a game is bad because the graphics are shit even though the gameplay is passable.

There are really only 2 games that I heard this about. DmC and Shadow. I have yet to play, DmC but people said that it had problems but was overall pretty okay. Shadow the Hedgehog on the other hand has some great ideas with the morality system which let you pick which levels you want to play. The controls and stuff where decent enough on the Gamecube at least. The story is shit but its Sonic so who cares.

Am I the only one who scoffs off shit like this? I mean, I really don't care. I do admit its bad but why hate it? Why not find it so bad its good?

Rising has the same thing but people are much more kinder to it because its Metal Gear.

It was a hot summer day and I was in my server room compiling 1200 programs. My CPUs were flexing and girls within a 10 mile radius were getting curious. Once I was done with my daily 32 hour compile I called one of the females I know, Jessica. She is really dang hot and looks like a supermodel. SO I got into my Alienware and reved it up to 40,000 GHz (this is an Italian import with special CPU system). I got onto the freeway near my house and threw it into 8th core, I hit about 600 GHz and I could hear the sonic boom as I broke the sound barrier. As I was flooring it on the freeway like a badass, Jessica called me and said she wanted me to **** her. So be it.I came to a full stop from 700 GHz in front of her house. These Macs have top notch brakes, you know. So she gets out of the house and walks up to my iMac and starts eyeballing my dock. I could tell she was staring at it because when I looked at her I noticed she was looking at my dock. Booya.

Flash forward 10 minutes later. My 30 inch dock is going inside of her DRIVE BAY, hitting them walls. I'm holding her entire body up with my left pinky as I'm ****ing her and she has 30,000 compile errors. She looks me in the eyes and she says "harder." SLI just kicked in, yo. I blow my freedom so hard she falls off my dock. There had to have been about two pints of thermal paste everywhere. People say I thermal paste like a freedomstar, I wouldn't disagree with them.

I throw her a towel so she can clean herself up then I do a triple backflip into my Alienware and drive home

Just curious, have there been any other controversies regarding voice acting and video games? 

I remember during the time where Sonic had Jason Griffith from 4kids as his new voice and people were making a bitch fit over his character being ruined(he had none to begin with). Griffith got alot of hate by fans when he was really just doing his job and the reason for the voice change was due to business reasons or some shit. People kept on wanting the original back so badly when he wasn't even that good anyways. Looking back, it was retarded.

Now the same thing is happening with Big Boss and David Hayter. The reason wasn't for continuity reasons like Big Boss growing old but rather artistic reasons because Kojima feels keeping Hayter's iconic voice will ruin his vision when I think the opposite will happen with most people. Made worse when the demo voice was generic as hell making Big Boss sound...normal. The reason I like the english voices was because they sounded unique and campy but fits the tone(that and Naomi sounds way too cute).

I heard Hitman or Splinter cell had a similar thing too and they got the voice actor back. 

Also, I'm NOT boycotting, thats stupid. I do however believe Kojima made a poor choice though.

I can't say I am loving this game. There's too much focus on picking crap up. Crap, that does nothing for you. I like collecting stuff that does something and rewards me. I don't want a gun to my head telling me I have to get every yellow angel to advance. If Super Mario did this in 1985, the game would have not been nearly as popular. Bah...challenge me with the stage design, not with shopping along the way.

 Collecting stuff should have an immediate benefit, or one that helps you in the game. Coins in Mario give you life. DK letters used to give you lives. Bonus stages in DK country did the same. Pick up hearts in Kid Icarus and you level up and have money to spend on items that help you and give you abilities like flight. Kirby picks up gears to unlock fun mini games. And they are not around for you to grab every 2 seconds. In Sonic you pick up rings to get to the bonus stage, but you don't grab every single friggen ring.
Your skills in getting through the levels should get you to the end, not shopping. At least not constant shopping for nothing. Nothing but bragging rights on the net. 

I didn't have to pick up crap in Mega Man 1-6, or Mario 1-4. In Wonderboy you picked up fruit to live, but you didn't need everyone and have get punished for not picking a few up. 
You have missed my point. You just think that being forced to jump through a hoop is good game play. (continued....)

the level design was classic sonic sometimes and other times original. plus, the overall level design was cool and textures were smooth. its was a really pretty game. sure the gameplay with your usual wonky 3D platforming but, they actually tried to put a new gimmick. having you control a team of 3 characters with different abilities to get around specific obstacles . sure, sonic said some pretty cheesy crap. i mean REALLY cheesy. >that was TIGHT
also, the different teams made it have a decent length and its not like each stage is exactly the same. least they switched the stages up for each team and gave each individual teamate a different ability than just SPEED POWER and FLY.

Tell me a fan base more dedicated than the Sonic fanbase.

Sure they can be gay furries, but Jesus christ, they re worked an ENTIRE game to a different engine from the ground up.

That's dedication folks.

What's the general verdict on the Xbox 360 port of Sonic Adventure 2? 

The reviews for it say it's either mediocre or just awful, but I really enjoyed the Gamecube version back in the early 2000's.

Is it really worth the 800MSP or should I just keep playing it on my Gamecube? And does the initial price include the Chao Garden content or have they hacked that off into a piece of DLC?

Thanks dudes.

Hey /v/, I was hoping you could help me figure something out. When I was a kid, I used to stay at my aunt and uncle's house while my mom was at work. They had a Sega Genesis which I used to play a lot. It had some games I remember clearly on it, like Sonic and Terminator 2. The one I'm trying to remember though was some sort of 2D flying game where you played as these robot bugs, and as you killed enemies, you could get upgrades to make your blasts more powerful and stuff. Anyone know what I'm talking about? This has bugged me for years.

The next Sonic game will be similar in gameplay to Sonic Generations, but with fewer of the slower platforming bits. It'll be sort of like the HD version of Sonic Unleashed, but with no 2D sections at all - it's all behind the back 3D.

What Sega is considering a "paradigm shift" is that they will be doubling down hard on multiplayer. Though there will be a singleplayer component, all of the stages in the game are structured for multiple characters to race through them at the same time. In addition to Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and Blaze are will be available, with the ability to unlock Metal Sonic for collecting enough medals. Each character plays functionally identical to Sonic, with drifting, grinding, and boosting, but many of them have their own unique attributes, such as the way they fight enemies. 

Sega has already budgeted a significant amount of money towards producing DLC for this game, and it will launch with a $20 season pass. Work has already begun on Dr. Robotnik driving his hover car as a DLC character, with Silver and Amy Rose being considered.

Redline video game. Enters arcades and amusement parks.
It's a supercomputer, engine and manual transmission mounted on a centrifuge for real felt g-forces. The cockpit can arbitrarily twist along all 3 axes and even simulate freefall. Surround 3D plasma displays using the most advanced panels from Panasonic, surround speakers and fully simulated traction, vibration, aerodynamics, smell of oil and gasoline, etc.
Complete crash simulation. When you flip your car at 400mph you will be twisted and flung everywhere and showered with stunt glass.

$20 per career. If you win the initial heat (Blue Line) then you proceed to Yellow Line (8 winners of different Blue Lines) and finally Redline (8 Yellow Line winners). At Redline there's an AI Machinehead who will up the ante and try to fuck you over at every turn. As will the entire Roboworld military and Funky Boy.

- Chao Garden 3.0
- Bonus levels for emeralds updated version of Blue Sphere from Sonic 3&K

A few weeks ago my local GAME store was having a clearance sale & I thought I’d browse the shop in the hope of finding a bargain. Scanning the shelves I came across some average games like Gears Of War which was £5, Mirror’s edge was the same price & Battlefield 3 had been knocked down to £20. I was pretty disappointed; there was absolutely nothing there worth buying so I began to leave the store when I saw a bargain bin by the exit. Out of curiosity I peered inside to see a copy of Sonic Adventure Battle 2, I couldn’t believe my luck! It was one of my favourite games when I was younger. In hindsight the situation seemed rather odd, a last gen game, the only last gen game in the store I might add, was sitting there in that bin with no price on it; at the time I was really happy & thought nothing of it. At the counter when I attempted to pay for the game it didn’t appear on the store’s systems or even register when they tried to scan the bar code on it, so eventually after haggling for a while I managed to get it for £3, an absolute bargain!

Anybody else find this game a little buggy as far as audio goes? I bought it yesterday and I've noticed there's quite a bit of audio clipping. I thought it was a problem with my PS3, so I changed HDMI cables with my 360 and I still hear the clipping. This doesn't happen with any of my other PS3 games, so I'm just going to assume there's something wrong with Sonic Racing Transformed. 

Anyway to fix this? Is there some patch or something I don't know about? It's annoying as hell.

Diablo 3
What kind of a game, and what kind of world you enter:
You come into a dark fantasy-world


Entertainment Value: [How well are you entertained when playing the game.]
It's a game you have to have patience, it's boring until you reach max lvl, some in foreksempel have tried Diablo2 on the other hand is fun all the way through, diablo 3 only fun when you reach lvl 60 (which is max lvl) that start the first to be fun, because you can both work out extra lvl's paragon * {5} but you can ogse fight against any other bosses. Diablo 3 for 3 out of 6 Stars in entertainment.


Innovations: [To what extent manages the game to bring new things to the genre.]
There are not a lot "new" in Diablo 3 compared to Diablo 2, there are new monsters, new act's * {1} and then there komemt something completely new Action House * {2} in Diablo 3, there are two different things you can in the action house, you can either bid and / or buy things with gold * {3} but you can ogse (as the first game ever had) sell / buy / offer things with real money. 2 out of 6 stars in innovations.


Gameplay: [How does the gameplay in general, and how does management.]
It fungered just like in Diablo 2 and Diablo 1, you go around with the left mouse button, and attack with both left and right and then you have 4 skills * {4}.
But there are new Act's * {1} (which is 4).


Graphics and Sound: [How high are played on graphically and sonically, and what implications does this have for the gaming experience.]
Graphics messigt is completely fine, it's not cysis 2, but the graphics are bold enough for a Diablo game 5 out of 6 stars for graphics. The sound on the other hand are the same throughout the game, it gets quickly tired of, so I suggest something youtube music when / show in play Diablo 3, but 4 out of 6 stars for sound.

Hey /v/irgins, need some help.

I'm trying to remember the name of an old game I used to play, but I don't recall much about it. It was a 2D platform game on pc, definitely from before 2002. Maybe you guys can help me.

The character was, iirc, a small fat guy. Graphically it was pretty similar to the old sonic games. There was a whole load of different environments, one of them was a lake with eagles and shit flying round, one was a castle/dungeon type thing, can't really remember the others. I remeber when you fell off a height, you rolled up into a ball and bounced, and you could kill enemies like that.

Any ideas?

They're RPing the entire Pokemon campaign, including turn based battles and keeping track of everyone's experience. They actually organise times to 'grind' together.

That and Sonic. Something about these fanbases are just insane. And it's always Japanese shit that gets the autistics too.

aka things that could have happened but never did

Original MGS1 trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ulHgDXb5_c

It was going to be just like the MG games but in 3D. Pretty cool. It was going to have the original bosses too. Imagine what could have happened. 

Also, other things on video games not MG related:
>Sora was going to be a furry with a chainsaw sword
>Magus was going to be Guile in Chrono Cross
>There was going to be 190 Pokemon, some were in Gen 2
>Sonic was going to have a human girlfriend in Sonic 1
>There was going to be a Sword and the stone and Jungle book world in BBS

Hey, what do you think of this game? 
I played it as a kid, so this might be influenced by nostalgia, but I thought it was fun. I liked the actual attempt at a story and the music was phenomenal. Tails's development from a sidekick into his own hero was nice and E-102 Gamma's story was enjoyable with a sad ending. Here are some good songs from the game - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2sOpyF1nF4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTt6X9emdN8

There were many gameplay styles which definitely kept things varied. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the Knuckles or Big levels, they weren't too bad. The Big levels were actually pretty good, but it was a fishing game and not Sonic. Sonic gameplay did not transition into 3D as well as it could have. Momentum was no longer important at all because the spin dash was extremely controllable and instantly put you around max speed. Yeah, the spin dash existed in Sonic 2 and 3&K, but you could not easily see what was ahead of you because you were going so fast. In SA, you can see what is ahead of you for a great distance and while this encourages going fast, you don't have to manage your speed any more. 
I liked Amy's gameplay because while it was slower than Sonic's, it was fun smashing things with a hammer as a cute girl and doing the large jump using the Piko Piko hammer was simply fun.

We need to have a talk /v/.

First of all, Sonic Generations did a HORRIBLE job of recreating the levels it attempted to. It didn't recapture that 90s feel and essentially took a shit on Wave Master, Richard Jaques, and all the other composers of the Sonic franchise.

Secondly, Sonic Colors was a shit game. Why? Because it is slow, devoid of control, momentum mechanics, and plays like a Mario game. If you like Mario more than Sonic, then that's probably why you prefer Colors. Colors also has a shit soundtrack and bad story.

Sonic and the Black Knight was ok in terms of music, and shit in everything else.

Also, why would you celebrate Sonic CD being on 3DS? It's like you hate all Sonic games and don't want them to be pure.

Anyone who doesn't agree with at least half of what I just said is a terrible normalfag casual.

I can easily invision a parallel universe where Sonic still has blows with that rapscallion Robotnik and tries to save the various animals, he's still just a mute hedgehog without a blatant "attitude", he traverses brand-new worlds with his pal tails, and each game introduces innovate new concepts while still remaining 2D. People would be rushing to GameStop to buy the "Sonic Flips Out", the new 2D adventure where Sonic has the ability to flip the world upside-down, allowing new puzzles and adventures. Okay, that's a stupid idea. Still, had Sonic been willing to pioneer while still staying faithful to its roots, perhaps there would be less drawings of him on Deviantart and more glowing praise from game magazines all across the world.

My, it's been a while, I must admit.

First and foremost, I apologize for Sonic Colors never receiving a proper HD port as I claimed it would if sales were well enough. The sales DID hit the target we had wanted, but the development costs were deemed wasteful.

To anyone speculating about a "Sonic Adventure 3" exclusive for the Wii U, I have to say that you really shouldn't get your hopes up for that. However, the Wii U's future is still very colorful on the Sonic front.

The PlayStation 4, PC and X8 are also in for a treat from Sega - the kind of game you'd only see twice in a Generation.

It happens with some games more than others (I feel dirty even considering using some pokemon in my teams after seeing what their fans have done to them) and fucking sonic games are even worse.

dont even get me started on creepy bronies (I honestly think there are 2 kinds of brony, the ones who are creeps as described above who want to lick horse dick, and ones who silently watch the show etc. both kinds fucking weird as shit but varying degrees)

Seriously, do not buy this game, /v/. It is full of many flaws. 
Flaw one: It's too short, and too easy. Even on hard difficulty, it's too short for most hardcore or even casual gamers, especially on PC (I bought all ports)
Flaw 2: The graphics are hideous. It would be amazing.. on a dream cast or a gamecube. Seriously, this is one of the last games for the X360/PS3 era, and the graphics were easily not taken time on. It feels slow, like you are playing one of those first 3D sonic games, yes, that bad.
Flaw 3: It tries to be deep when it's not, and tries to reward the player with cleavage after 5 hours, despite they were playing a bad game. Example of trying to be deep: The racism. Do we care, as gamers? The story doesn't even touch at all.
It is VERY overrated. Do not waste your time in buying it, if you haven't.

>Sega Seeking New Mascot Since Sonic Has Been Ruined By Fans

>Sega has recently announced a contest to create a mascot to represent their new Sega Raw show. They say that Sonic the Hedgehog can not be used because his perception has been ruined by fans.
“This new mascot will eventually replace Sonic the Hedgehog as Sega’s main mascot,” mentions Nagoshi, “The show is merely a test run for him or her. Granted, I’m sure anything we choose will be better than Sonic the Hedgehog. I don’t know why so many horrible people latched onto him and not Mario.”

So someone posted a while back about how they knew Jon and how he works with people, and how Arin has taken advantage of Jon's inability to hold his side of an argument.

And holy fuck does that ring true in the latest sonic 06 video. Arin was such a fucking douchebag, I'm not even sure I can go back and watch his old animations and enjoy them anymore. Who the fuck gets such a hardon over 'winning' discussions/arguments that they have to defend someone that pulled the BS Billy bob thornton pulled in the video they referenced? He is so adamant that Jon is wrong, even before watching the video, and you can hear the hesitation in his voice after watching it, like he knows he fucked up now, but he just keeps with it, and even when jon says fuck it, fine, you win, Arin keeps on the attack.

Makes me sick. All Gramps has done is take the worst qualities of two people and highlight them.

comment:
This past weekend I was able to watch a couple of demonstrations on Sonic Team's upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog game, currently titled "Sonic Excursion." In all they had two levels to show off which all four of the playable characters the story will focus on were able to play through, but do not worry as they all play similarly to Sonic with minor differences, probably to keep up the pacing of the game as that's been an issue with multiple characters in the past.

The demonstration started with the demo's title screen which was accompanied with a song by Ted Poley about exploring together (no hidden innuendos, perverts). The title of the game itself isn't set in stone, but the current one looked similar to Sonic Unleashed's Japanese "Sonic World Adventure" logo. From the title screen, it goes directly to a black screen where you can select between Sonic or Tails using a ball made of falling sparkles, and we were informed that the game starts with both characters unlocked. Every level in the game will be playable with every character, and for almost every level you will be able to select which character you play as before it begins if the story has them currently in your "party."

SEGA is currently in production of a new Sonic the Hedgehog game; Sonic: Return of the Genesis. 10 years in the future, Sonic is tricked and captured by Elettra Robotnik, the daughter of Dr.Eggman; Sonic Jr., the son of Sonic and Amy, goes on a quest to save his dad, his assistants are a now older Tails, and Cream the Rabbit; meanwhile, the chaos emeralds, full of impurity, turn into Dark Emeralds, and cause trouble in Sonic's world. Sonic Jr. looks just like Classic Sonic and the gameplay is EXACTLY like the genesis games (expect the elementar shields, both old and new); he is the only playable character, Tails and Cream are assistants in some missions and accompany him during the storyline. Special stages also make a return, but in a different way (due to the emeralds being corrupted). Eggman and Amy also appear in the story, despite having a minor role. Sonic Team is planning to make some unlockable challenges, like Hard Mode and Boss Rush, but I'm not sure this content is ready by the time of release. The game is going to be released for Xbox Infinity, PS4 and PC; the Wii-U is getting something different.

So, started playing this on PS3.

It's not a bad game. It's fun.
The level design seems to be Adventure-like. Levels get some gameplay variety by making you switch to another character sometimes. Collecting medals is an interesting idea, pretty much forcing you to stop a bit and look around instead of rushing to the end and not appreciating the level. That aside, the game still feels like a Sonic Adventure 3.

The huge issue, however, is how it's executed. The controls and physics are horrible, I've played flash games that controlled better. I know Sonic games aren't known for good controls, but this is just way below what's acceptable. The level design is horrible too, and many glitches end up happening if you don't do exactly what you're expected to. As such, this causes several unfair deaths. And for a last note, Soleanna's design is not intuitive and is crap, unlike Mario Sunshine's Delfino Plaza (which is definitely an inspiration).

Now, the graphics: they're very average. The only lovely things to look at are Sonic's quills from behind, and CG cutscenes (that are terribly great honestly). Everything else looks like it's out of a GameCube game. Not a huge issue for me; but I'm pretty sure most people were expecting something better.

Story and characters:
There are three stories (ignoring the final one).
They start out okay. 
They degenerate into time travel nonsense.
They don't go deeper than "character goes here then there then here".
It's shit. Also Elise is terribly bland and shouldn't be worthy to be a character Sonic would have romantic feelings for.
Thanks god it ends up getting rebooted (literally).


The game has great ideas, and wants to be Sonic Adventure 3, but the execution is horrible. The game is not bad, it's badly made.
Thankfully, they re-use most of the good ideas in subsequent games, but I wish it went back to Adventure levels again.

5/10, wouldn't go fast with.

I really don't like the design of modern sonic. I don't see why they don't stick to the anime-esque design that he had in the 90's movie and also on the cover of after sequel (which has a bitchin ass soundtrack)
I'd rather see a design more like this in the next 3D game, and I frankly think they could take a plot similar to the movie, as well as some tips about what open world sonic running should be like.

Post your video game opinions everyone, popular or unpopular, get it off your chest! 

Sonic the Hedgehog will never be fast, JonTron is a faggot, Two Best Friends is better than Game Grumps, starbound will be satisfying yet a tremendous disappointment at the same time.

gosh I love video games. So feel free to post any picture you want with your video game opinions!

I've never owned a Dreamcast. People always talk about how great it was because of titles like Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Space Channel, etc.

I was thinking about getting one, but then I realized most of the games are either on other systems, or have a new version on other systems. Example:

>Jet Set Radio on PSN, Steam, 360 Arcade.
>Same with Sonic Adventure.
>Same with Space Channel.
>Same with Crazy Taxi.
>Dead or Alive is already up to DOA 5 and I heard it's pretty good.
>Power Stone is on PSP.

The only other games are Shenmue, Skies of Arcade, Soul Calibur, and probably a few others. The only ones out of those three that interest me are Shenmue, and I don't think I should buy a Dreamcast just for that game.

Is there any point to buying a DC now other than nostalgia? Since I can play most of the games on newer systems, should I just do that instead?

What if they made a Super Smash Brothers themed video game where each character had the exact same controls they do in their respected games?

Obviously some characters would have to be nerfed, ie: Mario jumping on your head doesn't automatically kill you, Sonic's homing attack would do weak as fuck damage, all characters would have their invincibility flicker after taking damage, etc.

I finally got myself a Dreamcast. Recommend me some good games! So far I have burned Hydro Thunder, Episode 1 Racer, Sonic Adventure 2, Gundam Side Story, Dead or Alive 2, and Paranoia (Half Life mod ported to dreamcast).

Been going through systems I never really got to experience as a child and my current system is the Dreamcast!

Sonic Adventure 3. Playable Sonic, Tails, Knuckles & Amy, all of which skins of Sonic with their own episodes. All levels based on those of SA1 & 2, essentially 'New Sonic Adventure'. No Chao Gardens, not story orientated; mostly 3D Unleashed style with occasional 2D sections.

Hey /v/, I have a story of sorrow to share with you. 
 I had the same next door neighbors growing up my entire childhood. Their family had a kid who was a real asshole. He was a year older than me and treated me like shit, one day I was talking to some people about a Link to the Past on the SNES at school. My neighbor overheard me and bashed the SNES, being a profound SEGA fanboy. I didn’t hate the Genesis, I actually wanted to play one but my parents said I only needed one console. I also only got the SNES earlier that year. But I fucking loved that SNES, so I insulted him back. He ended up punching me.
 They phoned our parents and after school they sat us both down. They were pissed. Looking back I don’t think it was as much because we got in a fight, but more of the fact that we got in a fight over what console was better.
 His Dad asked if we even played the other console (His Dad used to be a gamer). We both shook our head saying “No.” Well, he decided that we should try them out before getting pointless fights. We did.
 He showed me Sonic & Knuckles. People always compared it to Mario, but these games were miles apart. Then he showed me the stacking ability. I thought it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I thought that would be the future of gaming. Games stacking and crossing over with each other seemed amazing. Stack a Metroid game on a Mario game, play the game as Mario. I was an idiot.
 I showed him A Link to the Past. It was like nothing he had seen on the Genesis. He was mostly into platformers or RPGs.
 Needless to say, we became best friends. He would always get the new Sega console, I would get the Nintendo. We had friendly arguments over things like the Gameboy vs Gamegear, which would last until his battery died and mine thrived.
 Fast forward to 2001, the Dreamcast died. It seemed like Nintendo finally overcame Sega. Neither of us could care though. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was terminal. He had three months to live.

 etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is not well known but oxidative stress has been suggested to play a pathological role. We report here that the serum levels of Sonic hedgehog (SHH) protein and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) might be linked to oxidative stress in ASD. By using the whole blood or polymorphonuclear leukocytes, we demonstrated that autistic children produced a significantly higher level of oxygen free radicals (OFR). In addition, we found significantly higher levels of serum SHH protein in children with mild as well as severe form of autism. We also found that the serum level of BDNF was significantly reduced in autistic children with mild form of the disorder but not with severe form of the disorder. Our findings are the first to report a correlation between SHH, BDNF and OFR in autistic children, suggesting a pathological role of oxidative stress and SHH in autism spectrum disorders.

So, the Dreamcast. 

 What do you think it was about this thing that gave it such an interesting library? Power Stone, Maken X, Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, Seaman, Shenmue. Something about it caught the imagination of devs and made publishers comfortable with taking risks. 

 If a Dreamcast 2 were made, could it be anywhere near as good? Would the climate allow for it? Or would it be a WiiU, with no real definition of what it is, too similar to the PS3 and 360 to catch anyone's attention but too different to be wanted by the mainstream?

Sonic Adventure 3 TBA early June. Will be the final home console 'main' Sonic game. Still using the Hedgehog graphics engine, gameplay is Unleashed/ Colours/ Generations styled with 2D side scrolling sections on occasion. Players control Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy though all characters are optional and are merely skins of Sonic gameplay wise. Game features 10 'Zones' offering more exploration and branching paths within levels than previous instalments. Game is not heavily plot focused though involves Dr. Eggman using the power of the 'Grand Flicky' to create powerful Badniks. Powerups can be unlocked within levels and allow a degree of character customisation.

They tell you that they have gotten you all 3 of the big consoles, and loads of your favorite franchise; Sonic. You ask to where the Sega is so you can play Sonic. They hand you a Nintendo Wii with a remote shaped object and a stack of Sonic and Mario crossover games.

I raise a question:

Why do Sonic autistics completely ignore anything and everything pre-Adventure? Every single piece of shitty fan-art, porn pardoy, and general retardism is rooted in Sonic Adventure and on. The Genesis era has been, mostly, sparred.

It's a bit like the autisms/Thomas the Tank Engine theory: oft-exaggerated facial (big anime eyes) expressions and body proportions (dem legs) help those on the spectrum understand emotions. These elements make up the character designs of today's Sonic.

What do you think?

You know, it is possible to make a really fast Sonic game that isn't ALL about speed...and this game was the proof of that.

Since running at top speed in this game didn't make you invincible like it did in the games that took that idea too far, I regard Sonic Advance 2 as one of my favorite games in the series.

Plus the levels had a decent amount of split-path design to them.

Thank you, SEGA

>SEGA has announced that a remake of the original Sonic the Hedgehog will soon be hitting the Nintendo 3DS. The updated game features stereoscopic 3D visuals, and in it, Sonic is equipped with his Spin Dash move and Homing Attack. Arguably, the most notable additions are the inclusions of a save function and the ability to personalize each button’s function. 3D Sonic the Hedgehog will be released in Japan next week, on May 15th, on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/05/08/3d-sonic-the-hedgehog-revealed-for-nintendo-3ds/

All these things can be turned on and off as desired. Still 3D Classics Sanic is on my to-buy list. Sonic 3 would benefit more from the 3D Classics treatment.

Like, let's say it was Flying Battery Zone, and the act 1 track played through, then at the beginning of where it normally loops it would instead go into the act 2 music.

Guess who's back in the UK niggers. Praise be to jebus!

On a vidya related note. Is sonic allstar transformed a genuinely good game or it is all an elaborate ruse /v/ does to trick people like me into buying a shitty game? All I've been playing for the last 3 weeks is Dark Souls and seriously need a change of scenery. Its either this or Forza Horizon.

People argue all the time about which Zelda is the best one. Some people call a certain Zelda shit, while others defend that Zelda and call another one shit. But you know what, /v/?

There has never, EVER been a bad Zelda game. In fact, there has never been one that wasn't absolutely fucjking magnificent.

Let me put it this way:

Ocarina of time is widely regarded as the greatest video game ever created. But had Twilight Princess been released in its place, Twilight Princess would have been regarded as such. Hell, even Spirit Tracks or Phantom Hourglass, had they gotten console releases, would have been met with the same recognition.

 Here's the thing: Most everyone can agree that the original NES version of TMNT was far inferior to the beat 'em up. Pretty much everyone can agree that final fantasy's quality went down after the seventh one. And you'd be lying if you said that most Sonic fans even acknowledge the existence of Sonic '06. But each and every Zelda game, yes, even Zelda 2, is someone's favorite. 

Anyone who calls a Zelda game "bad" has undoubtedly been spoiled rotten by time and technology. Saying a Zelda game is shit is like a rich white kid acting like they live in the ghetto. You're damn lucky that Zelda has been around for so long, and is still going strong today. Otherwise, you'd be playing games that you'd actually have reason to complain about, and trust me, you wouldn't like that.

tl;dr be grateful for Zelda.

Back in the 80s and early 90s, the "creative director" used to be the main guy. The whole dev team might be just a handful of people so the Creative Director would actually be in charge of the whole thing. Wil Wright, Carmack, Miyamoto, Chahi, American McGee just to name a few. Heck, Electronic Arts's whole philosophy back then was to put someone's name on the title screen.

There was a shift in the late 90s and early 2000s when the entire development took a back seat and the Publisher Logo was the only thing that mattered. EA Sports, Square-Enix, Capcom, etc. Only rarely did anyone even notice a developer: Bungie, Sonic Team, Hal. And very few Creative Directors got widely credited.

Now there has been a resurgence of the "Creative Director" being in the marketing material and preview information. Jay Wilson, Sakurai, Nomura, Ken Levine. But in the sophisticated and big budget videogame development world, I gotta wonder how much direction they can give, and how much they are supposed to color in the lines. I think that the re-emergence of the creative director is basically a way to scapegoat the end result if the game flops and the publisher need to explain to the shareholders what went wrong.

Who has been your favorite Creative Director, if any?

Not everything is grim in the video world, /v/.
"All-Stars Racing Transformed Moves 1.36 Million Copies"
"Sega Sammy released their financial reports for the company today, and it turns out the company did rather well. Of note, the company posted a net profit of ¥33.5 billion, or about $331 million, which is an annual growth of 53.3 percent. However, Sega Sammy’s operating profit decreased year-on-year by 67.3 percent, down to ¥19.1 billion ($189 million). Majority of this was through the sales of “investment securities” and transfers of employees’ pension benefits.

That’s all well and good if you’re financially oriented and looking to invest in Sega, but you’re here for game sales number to shamelessly slap people on message boards with! While physical retail game sales were down, causing the company to consider refocusing efforts more toward smartphone and digital titles, Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed zoomed across the finish line with 1.36 million units sold globally. No platform-by-platform break down was provided, but that’s still a rather strong number for the shape-shifting kart racer."

The reason why games don't look THAT much better than they did 10 years ago is the diminishing returns of increased polygons.

It's also a question of development costs. Sprites took a few hours to design while a character model in God of War 3 took two full weeks to fully develop. Increasing the graphics fidelity increases the workload considerably. The core sonic 1 development team(the actual team that programmed the game) could be counted on one hand, while the God of War 3 team was well over one hundred. Even with all these people games still take considerably more time to make. A small team of programmers could make the next Megaman in a little under a year, now even a AAA title that reuses some assets from previous games take 2 years standard.

Games have become considerably "simpler" than their counterparts ten years ago. That's because the time, effort, and cost it takes to record the hundreds of thousands of pieces of voice dialog that games require these days. It's just not practical to have a character in a game have as much dialog as they did in Morrowind because voice acting is a huge expense. This severely limits the range and length conversations can have. Now every NPC may be able to talk, but they don't say very much. Now NPC's won't reflect on what you've accomplished, or the factions you've joined, etc...

So I just started playing Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed again on my Wii U and I noticed that the frame rate is much better than the last time I played it. Also, there seemed to be less motion blur. Has someone else noticed this? 

I checked sites about this and what I got was that the last update might have boosted the CPU and GPU of the WiiU a little. Could this have something to do with it? 

The game runs great now and I can finally play it without getting a headache.

I'm 20 years old and video games are boring. Video games have been boring for me since I was 15. 

Now, I still have friends who are older and they still play video games. But they play the most linear games imaginable, the most boring games for hours and hours. Games like DOTA if they play PC games or games like Street Fighter 4 or COD if they play console.

All these games are boring and repetitive.

Even though warcraft 3 is not as fun as it used to be, no longer populated or I don't have that child like wonder. It's still better than all these games!

Why? Cause of variety. You can create a map on anything you want, I've seen maps on 1984, maps on sonic, etc.

There are probably millions of unique games that were made for warcraft 3, most of them are games that most of us have never played.

But the popular ones go from cartoons like Dragon Ballz and Tom and Jerry. Movies like Troy, Jurassic park, Resident evil, alien, lord of the rings. Tv shows like Star Trek. Games like Castlevania, mario, counter strike, hearts of iron

Or even concepts like shogun wars, wilderness survival and the civil war.

And that's only 0.1% of the variety this game has in it. Since playing this magnum opus of gaming and variety it's hard to find other games that are not as vast to be any fun.

I seriously think people that play street fighter all day or call of duty all day are intellectually inferior and also wasting their time.

They're not doing anything creative, they're not learning how to design games or doing any of that. They're playing very restricted games for people that will get nowhere in life

When do games become too hard for you to be fun?

When i was younger, I didnt care and would play the same sonic or mario level over and over.
Nowadays, most of the time I set that difficulty in which I dont often die. Like only in new encounters.
In OpenWorld games like New Vegas or Mass Effect I pick hard or normal, so its not a real challange but not completly artificial with 50% more enemie HP either.
Same with shooters. Crysis on Delta was tedious as fuck. Except for Stalker. Stalker should be somehow really hard.
Dark Souls is definitely too hard for me to be fun. Still, I leave no game behind and beat it. I would prefer a casual mode or such because the lore is interesting.

title: Dealing with German Mothers
comment:
Need your help, fellow /v/irgins. I have a ten year old half brother, who has been largely shielded from nasty violent videogames such as all of them by his nutjob German mother (Britfag here if it matters). He's even restricted to one hour per day of "screen time" (though in practice he tends to get more). He's getting to the point though where all his friends are playing shooters or whatever and he's being left out, so I've been bringing my xbox to his house for him to use (not much need since ascending to Mustard Rays).

First, I'm a little concerned about his taste and whether he'll turn into an entitled casual. I've tried giving him platformers (Rayman 3 and Sonic Generations primarily) but he seems to give up after a couple deaths, and doesn't seem to respond all that well to failure. However he might just not like platformers. Besides the platformers that he doesn't like, pretty much the only things he's been allowed to play are racing games. He's played a lot of Forza Horizons and NFS MW (2005 obviously) but I can tell he's getting bored of them.

What he really wanted was an fps. That's what his friends are all playing obviously. I don't even own CoD, nor would I want him to play it (and his mum would go apeshit), so after thinking about the most intelligent, restrained shooter I could bring for him, I brought him pic related. He really likes it. I pressured him to read the ebooks etc, explore, use stealth and non-lethal methods, all that sort of thing, and he's getting the hang of it. I even turned up the difficulty to make sure he wouldn't breeze through it, and he's been persevering which is why I don't think he's a casual (in fact, he even agreed that the 10 year old CoD fanbois he goes to school with were idiots with shit taste).
Then he was found playing it and he's been forbidden from playing it until further notice.

/v/, I need you to help construct a cogent, irrefutable, fact-backed argument as to why he should be allowed to play Deus Ex.

comment:
>The Wii U just had its Dreamcast moment. With Electronic Arts confirming it doesn't have any games in development for the machine, one of the console industry's biggest players has walked away from the system counting its losses. So that's none of the market-leading sports games for the Wii U in the near term and none of those tantalising new Star Wars games in the mid-term. We weren't looking at a long term solution for the Wii U, but now it seems it won't even get a semi-decent sales pick up at the end of the year. Christmas is cancelled for Nintendo. . . .

>We're not officially allowed to report sales numbers from Chart Track in the UK but everyone in the publishing business can see them quite clearly. There's no need for pretence. When you can get to number one in the Wii U charts by selling less than 1000 units it's no longer a tragedy, it's an actual farce. . . .

>There's also today's announcement that Sega is handing publishing duties of Sonic the Hedgehog over to Nintendo, like Sonic the Hedgehog still means something to the games player. It doesn't, it's a tired old mascot who jumped the shark when Sega painted him black and gave him a gun. This deal is Sega begrudgingly admitting it can no longer market and sell kids games, and its last hope in a world of Moshi Monsters and Angry Birds is Nintendo. And if Nintendo can't sell another company's mascot, well, Sega is now prioritising PC gaming anyway. . . .

>The new GameCube or the new Dreamcast, it doesn't matter how we hang it. The console market is brutal and Microsoft and Sony may have also left it too late with their own machines, only time will tell. But when Nintendo isn't playing the console wars game, the consumers don't care and the retailer is pushing new hardware to the curb, what are publishers meant to do? . . .

All this Lost World talk has me thinking.

Why is it that people think Tails, Sonic and Robotnik should be the ONLY characters in a Sonic game? Sega seems to think this too, given their recent track record.

Yeah, a lot of the characters are shit, but how can a series stay interesting with just 3 characters? It can be dynamic as long as you do good things with the existing characters, and they all have a relationship with the hero somehow.

Sonic is the hero. Tails is Sonic's best friend. Knuckles is Sonic's friendly rival. Amy is his girlfriend. Eggman's the villain. And Metal is the evil copy of Sonic, built by the villain.
They're all connected to the hero in some way.

I keep seeing rumors about the Sega Spectrum. This image got leaked, but no one really knows what it is. News is supposed to be released on June 12, and the text loosely reads “A new world of Entertainment.”

This has a bunch of Sonic, Yakuza, and Shenmue fanboys flailing their arms. I personally think it will just be a new arcade board.

Lets take a break from the Sonic shitposting and the Neogaf neo/v/ing to discuss things properly. 

Iwata previously stated devs have reached the next stage in Wii U development. Before launch, devs barely even figured out that they were using 2/3 cores of the Wii U CPU so a lot of launch titles didn't even use 3 cores for most of development. There were also shitty tools provided by Nintendo that made things worse. 

That's all over now. Engines are optimized and tools are available and its time to see what Wii U can really do. 

The first of the true next stage games was NFSMW, which showed PC textures and completely revamped lighting. 

And now we have Sonic. Lost World may not have much to go own, but judging from the only image released, we can discern the graphics for that game. If you look closely, you can tell that the only screenshot is actually an ingame shot, and not a concept image. It shows PC level models and pretty good textures. This is a start for how the game will look. 

Lets also look at Mario and Sonic @ the Olympics. See pic related. The model is great, crisp, clean, and if you check out other screens of the game, its the same result. Plenty of AA, and excellent character models and decent environments. 

So lets discuss. What do you expect a Wii U game to look like when its using the full hardware capabilities? If this game is an indication of how Mario 3D's character will look, just how great will the game look?

So apparently Sonic Robo Blast 2 is getting a new official update soon, and I'm really hyped for the singleplayer aspect of the game. Pics are definitely related.

For those who don't know or remember; SRB2 is a 3d platforming fan game made with the Doom engine. It unlike most modern Sanic games lets the player explore the levels as much as they want. And unlike most modern Sanic games an emphasis on both speed and platforming is placed. Meaning your urges to jump on top of shit and going fast will be fulfilled. The game's only weakness is shit tier enemy variety, strength and the bosses themselves. 

The game can be found at srb2.org/download, shit be free too.

God damn it, people. Can't we all just get along and become friends? Aren't you tired from all the shit flinging circlejerks day in and day out? I consciously started playing games in 1991. GODS on the PC was my first one. There may be some older taffers here who might remember it.
 
It just clicked and I have been in awe with this medium ever since. What can I say, it is one of my hobbies, despite me having less fun with them than I used to. I believe the overall quality in video games has dropped as the budgets went up. Nonetheless, they are part of my personality - some girls get it and respect it, some don't (wimminz, right?) 

My issue with you guys is the beef between Sony and Nintendo fanboys. As I said above, I've been playing PC ever since and still do, but I also highly enjoy both Sony and Nintendo consoles and their respective games. Still own my NES, SNES, Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), N-64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, a PS3 and a DS Lite. I wish SEGA was still around as a major player.

Let's be honest here, both Nintendo and Sony as companies are struggling at the moment. The Wii U is underperforming and is not what most people have hoped it would be (including myself).
Sony is going through major restructuring to keep the entire company alive, not just SCE.

Up until yesterday's Nintendo Direct I didn't know what to make out of the Wii U and to be frank with you, had zero interest in getting one, as my opinion is that Nintendo haven't been up to their game since the Wii days. Although that Direct blew, it dawned upon me what potential this system actually has. Ironically it was the Sonic & Mario winter olympics game.
What you have to realise is that 3rd party support for the Wii U is pretty much dead by now and won't be resurrected. This is something everyone has to learn to accept. The console might have unimpressive hardware nowadays and is "weaker than the 360" going by that one EA shill.

title: Wii U: Two Years of Negative Brand Momentum
comment:
http://www.notenoughshaders.com/2013/05/18/wii-u-two-years-of-negative-brand-momentum/

Fascinating article on how Nintendo let the Wii brand turn to shit. I'm familiar with most of these negative Wii/Wii U articles, but it's quite something when you see them all compiled up. Essentially, they all hit these same notes:

>Wii/Wii U is collecting dust
>What the hell is a Wii U?
>Wii U is not getting ___
>X publisher has no plans for Wii U
>Bad Wii U sales continue
>Wii U is dead/Nintendo should go third party/

And despite the Sonic exclusive news, Nintendo is still getting creamed with bad press like the Youtube controversy, April's NPD numbers, and more Wii U eulogies from big sites like gamesindustry.biz 

So, /v/, do you agree with the Wii brand now being poison? Is there a way for Nintendo to stop the Wii U mockery?

Ok, all this Smash bros discussion is hyping me again.

Considering Ive played thousands of hundreds of hours of Brawl, I'd like to discuss what wasn't perfect from this seemingly perfect game.

First, many characters were too floaty, yes, we all know that. I play Special Brawl - Fast to have sanic speed action. Which is much more enjoyable than regular Brawl.

I also wonder if Sonic and Snake will stay in the roster. I hope so. I dont like losing non-cloned characters.

>You now realize the only reason any of your favorite games are so popular is that they simply rode coattails and that the video game industry is still an industry bent on making money by rehasing the same "familiar "characters. 

Pokemon was so popular because it was by Nintendo, not because it was unique or entertaining. Pokemon simply rode the Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda hype.

Which brings me to this thread's topic...

Do you think any other franchises would have been successful if they were on different consoles? I'm talking Sonic on N64, Zelda on PS, Pokemon on Dreamcast, Final Fantasy on SEGA

Can you imagine playing Mario Party on a Playstation?

Jesus fucking Christ.

I picked this up for extremely cheap in a Sonic bundle off Amazon. How can they fuck up the physics so awful? Not holding right stops you even after a boost pad. Turning your stick the other way mid-jump stops you entirely. Worst of all, the acceleration is pants-on-head retarded.

Did they fix the physics in episode 2, or is there some kinda mod, or is it fucked?

SO, we have:

Wii-U:
-Underpowered compared to the rest, with an Ipad for a controller, that opens options and interactivity with the games;
-eStore with all the classics that made Nintendo what they are today;
- Nintendo's exclusives with Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario, Kirby and Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, The next step in the Sonic franchise and Monster Hunter, most of the with the soon™ attached to them.
- PROBABLY the cheapest, when all 3 are out;
- Very few 3rd party support, until proven otherwise;

PS4
-On par with the new Xbox, performance wise;
-Classic controller with the option of instant sharing pics or clips onto an online platform with the rest of the community;
-Deep Down ( Dragon's Dogma 2) ,DriveClub ( actually innovative racing sim ), MGS V ( Sony is humping Kojima for exclusivity ), Final Fantasy Versus, Infamous: Second Son, Killzone, Watch Dogs and Destiny

Xbox One:
-On par with PS4, performance wise, arguably classic controller from the 360;
-Must have kinect;
-Forza, Fifa's Ultimate Team exclusive content, The first platform to receive COD's new DLC;
- American Football live matches and fantasy league management;
-Multiple program usage ( eg: skype while watching a movie )

I will refrain from posting my personal opinion on the OP, but lets have a discussion between these 3, not who wins, but what one has over the other two, and such.

I don't know what the hell happen, /v/. I've been a supporter of the Xbox since the first one. While I did have my Gamecube, PS2, Wii(from mostly Mario Kart Wii, SSBB, Sonic Colors and Mad World), PS3 and PSP(Fucking Maverick Hunter X), I could always go back to my 360 for some gaming as well.

But what I saw today made me feel like a fucking idiot and jackass for even having faith in them. Microsoft is going the way of Sega, but Sega atleast went out like a boss with the Dreamcast.

The PS4 and WiiU look so much better than the Xbox One. Atleast they are focusing on games more than what M$ is doing. This shit is for the birds, I'm still gonna play the fuck out of my 360, but I ain't fucking touching that fat beast of a 'gaming' console.

I'm getting a WiiU then wait for the big price drop for the PS4, I love my 360 but damn Microsoft, either you went full retard with this shit or EA designed this console

RETRO
>working on 2 games right now. 1 of them will be huge , revealed in a Nintendo Direct event after E3, but it won’t be released until late 2014, as this is the big bet of Nintendo for the upcoming year, along with Smash Bros. It’s a shooting game, from an already known IP. In this game, you will be able to scan scenery with the Wii U Gamepad and use the Wii U Gamepad Touch Screen to control your spaceship. The game is looking really good, graphically wise, one of the most advanced graphics you’re going to see in Wii U.

>2nd is smaller game, similar to what Donkey Kong Country Return was. maybe Metroid 3DS?

Ok /v/ hear me out on this one.. 

as you all know capcom has been helping make the next super smash brothers game for a while now.. nothing has leaked about any characters thus far but have a look at this: 

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_%26_Mega_Man:_Worlds_Collide

April of this year it seems sonic and megaman have paired up.. perhaps as they've been making SSB4 talk of megaman and sonic being similar through developing an already pretty much confirmed sonic and perhaps now MEGAMAN into it has sparked a friendship between sonic team and capcom. 

seems legit. 

also who do you want to appear in the Super Smash Brothers 4?

This angers me for one specific reason and that means Sonic is stuck at the graphical fidelity of 7th gen games. Sonic will be stuck to that for next however many years the 8th gen will last. Some of you laugh at the Ghosts trailer for COD but there was some serious graphics improvement and that's designing a game designed to push 60fps. Imagine what Sonic would of looked like.

SSB 3DS is called Super Smash Bros. Calamity Portable

Japanese name for the Wii U game is 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ災
Japanese name for the 3DS game is 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ災ポータブル

The Nintendo Direct trailer is exactly 1:35 long and is almost entirely CG. Seems like the opening of the game and definitely looks like a throwback to Melee's opening. The theme is entirely orchestrated but sounds original. 

Characters seen in order of their appearance: Mario, Link, Pit, Kirby, Pikachu, Mewtwo (in his new X/Y form), DK, Captain Falcon, Fox, Samus, Peach, Zelda, Palutena, Olimar, Ness, Ice Climbers, Shulk, Marth, Tharja, Yoshi, Bowser, Sonic, Pac-Man

Newcomers: Mewtwo, Palutena, Shulk, Tharja, and Pac-Man

I can answer questions about trailer specifics and I'll be around for the next 15 minutes or so. Screencapping for justice come 6/11.

What are some good local coop games for the PC? Emulation up to Gamecube/Wii is fine too. Something casual and not shooter related (tried Serious Sam 3 splitscreen and didn't work). Playing some games with my niece, I'm fucking tired of playing Kirby Return to Dreamland and NSMB Wii.

She doesn't like challenging titles such as Rayman Origins. I guess that's just how kids are these days...

Games that I tried and it didn't work:
SS3
Renegade Ops
Castle Crashers
Rayman Origins
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed

Do any of you know a mod (texture replacement) for sanic generations that changes the 360 HUD to PS3's?

With the abundance of casuals and 360fags, most games /v/ originally hated, such as halo, cod, and even things that ruined franchises like Banjo Nuts&Bolts have some of the younger posters boasting them.

However, I am glad that so far nobody has defended this game, let alone boasted about it in a serious manner(yes I know some trolls will show up and defend it, but no one really likes this).

Is there any other games that absolutely no one likes?

I thought about Sonic 06, but back when it was released there was a few really REALLY devoted 360fans that when asked to name two games that were exclusives to the 360, the first was halo(as expected) and the second one was almost always Sonic 06(probably cause of the intro cutscene and it being a game where you dont spend 50% of it looking down ironsights). So Sonic 06 is out of the question.

Am I the only one that thinks Sonic 2 is better than 3 & Knuckles?

Sonic 2 in my opinion just seems like a better game in these aspects:

1. WAY MORE remember-able than Sonic 3 & Knuckles when it comes to stages. They were short, sweet, and difficult (later stages of course) but had charm. I mean really, none of the Sonic 3 & knuckles stages really left a lasting appeal, they were just kind of there. Oh, and don't forget Sandopolis!
2. The soundtrack was better. Every track I can remember completely, the soundtrack for S3&K only has 5-6 tracks that I actually go back and listen to, where as all of the Sonic 2 soundtrack I enjoy.
3. The boss battles were more enjoyable in Sonic 2 (with the exception of the final boss in S3&K). They were short, enjoyable, and also were a challenge to the player. Where as the bosses in S3&K dragged out. For example, the mushroom hill boss is easy, but takes way too fucking long. Hydrocity boss drags on also, it's not that difficult, you just have to constantly wait for the boss to be in a state of attack, which is roughly 7 seconds per hit (depending on if you're decent or not). And the lava reef act 1 boss, which literally just required you to fucking sit and wait.
4. The speed. In a series that is based around rolling around at the speed of sound, S3&K never really has those moments where you go so fucking fast the screen can't even catch up. Of course there are sections in Mushroom hill and Hydrocity, but they are bried. Going back to the whole lack luster stages statement, that's really all I can remember. Most of these, however, are determined by the skill of the player, but pulling it off requires too much effort, with little to no reward. Emerald hill, Chemical plant, Aquatic ruin, Casino night, and fuck, even Metropolis zone had a lot of sections where you went fast regardless of what you were doing, there were set paths that you couldn't skip that caused mad speed. The speed sanic needs.

Discuss.

How can people like Sonic? 

Sonic is inferior to Mario in every single way and I can't believe people at Sega thought that it could even compete. 

The game design is fucking horrible because you move too damn fast to see anything and from what I've played it's pretty much press forward to win with an occasional jump. 

How can any of you faggots like this shit? I really am curious.,

some are only 1080, but the majority are 3200x1800.

all are using the fxpipeline, commonly known as the unleashed renderer, although i accidentally forgot to enable some effects for a handful of images that are enabled in later pics. i'll try to go in order, as well as show the difference a few effects can have.

Quick Reminder

Sonic Colors was Sega getting their shit together, which is ironic being in the console of their long time rivals

Sonic Generations was a warm up to get fans hoping again

Sonic Lost World, being the Wii U Exclusive it is, will be Sega's real game of them getting their shit together, plus Nintendo's helping out, making it even better.

Despite this however there's still going to be negatives....

Seriously, real talk, as good as Generations and Colors were, Sonic and Tails voice actors are horrendous, Eggman's fine though.

Maybe Nintendo can fix that, but probably not.

Why would any of you applaud this? It's the downfall of the integrity of Smash Bros entirely and Sakurai doesn't give a shit. It's like you hate games or something. Why do you think so many left the series after Brawl? Do you think it was a coincidence?

so wait how does this game get away with it's furry art style? I've seen my share of anthropomorphic characters, from 90's cartoons (Pizza Cats, Bucky O'Hare etc) to various game characters(Ratchet,Sly, Sonic etc). 

But the art style of this fucking game is obviously different from the aforementioned: color scheme, the facial expressions(especially the eyes) and those body curves are undeniable that of the furry movement.

I know the gameplay is a good, but I don't give a shit if it turns me off aesthetically.

Is it bad that I think that the graphics used for most games on Dreamcast is when graphics peaked? Once the Dreamcast died, most graphics looked really average or bland in comparison. Not to mention the art style used in a lot of the Dreamcast's library looked excellent. Even though graphics have progressed far more, they don't seem as great as they did on the Dreamcast.

Disregard the Sonic Adventure series' visual and most gameplay elements.

RUMOR: Sources Claim Alleged Future Nintendo Lineup
By Andrea Gil
– May 21, 2013
Super Smash Bros. newcomers revealed and more 
Yesterday we published some interesting info about the Sega and Nintendo partnership, coming from a source near Nintendo. But that source did not only reveal us some details about SEGA games (quite some time before they were officially revealed, so the legitimacy of the source was proven), but also some info on the upcoming Nintendo lineup.
For starters, our source has confirmed that the majority of what we already know thanks to Nintendo Direct will be Nintendo’s E3 lineup, since there will be not many big surprises for the event or the 2013 lineup. Nintendo will hold itself up on a few titles until the end of this year. Those will be Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U, Wonderful 101, Wii Party U, Zelda Wind Waker and Mario, which will be shown and playable at E3 for Wii U. Animal Crossing, Mario & Luigi, Mario Golf, Pokémon, Mario Party and Zelda are also planned for the 3DS.
Nintendo’s launch window has been modified, and titles that should have been released this Christmas will move to 2014. That’s what happened to the so-called Yoshi’s Yarn game; it has been delayed to 2014 since Nintendo will make “Yoshi’s Year”, in a similar way they had made 2013 “Luigi’s Year.”
The next 3D Mario game for Wii U won’t be a Galaxy game, but it will take some titbits of it to make a full open world platformer. It will make an intensive use of the touch screen for some game mechanics.
About 3DS, there will be no big surprises for the rest of the year. Nintendo will publish some little games, niche series and forgotten IPs directly at eShop, similar to how they published Mario Vs Donkey Kong. There will also be a 3DS Japan only Nintendo Direct presenting some games for the Japanese market, like Daigasso Band Brothers, a Skip game and a Monolith title.
There is a 3DS Kirby game in development, but it won’t be shown for some time. The same goes for a planned Metroid 3DS game; it has been in development for some time but we won’t see it soon. I can personally corroborate this last one, since I personally got the same info about Metroid 3DS from a Nintendo rep back in 2011.
It’s unknown who is developing this game, but the same source claims Retro Studios is working on two games at the moment. One of them will be huge; it will in, fact be revealed in a Nintendo Direct event after E3, but it won’t be released until late 2014, as it will be Nintendo’s big bet for the year along with Smash Bros. It’s a shooting game, from an already known IP. In this game, you will be able to scan scenery with the Wii U Gamepad and use the Wii U Gamepad Touch Screen to control your spaceship. The game is looking really good graphically–one of the most advanced graphics you’re going to see on Wii U. The other game is said to be a smaller game, similar to what Donkey Kong Country Returns was. Might this one be Metroid 3DS?
There will be other games revealed for 2014, at Nintendo’s E3 and upcoming Nintendo Directs after.
Mario Kart U will be presented at E3, and will be playable at the fair, as Nintendo confirmed not too long ago (again, when the source claimed this, that hadn’t been announced yet). The game will be very online focused, with lots of Miiverse and Community options. Missions will make a comeback, and they will add some kind of achievements system to the game too. It will be released in 2014, meanwhile, the third exclusive Sonic game will take its place, as we reported yesterday.
There will be a teaser for Bayonetta 2 at the E3 too, and a Yoshi’s Island 3 teaser. They will also show a pretty shocking teaser for Smash Bros U/3DS. The game will feature sightly different gameplay than older installments of the Smash Bros series. The 3DS version will be very different to the Wii U one, content wise. There will be a few newcomer characters shown at the teaser: Little Mac, Takamaru, Tom Nook, Palutena, Dark Pit (the source says he is not sure if it’s a transformation for Pit like Zelda/Sheik or a standalone character), and Bayonetta.
There will be other games–smaller ones. Nintendo is working in a new IP of a genre it has not much experience with. Not much was disclosed besides that. There will be other games, like a new Project Zero game for Wii U. Already revealed ones like Shin Megami Tensei Vs Fire Emblem, Zelda, and X will take some time still. The one we might be seeing sooner is X, which will be released the first half of 2014 in Japan.
Last, but not least, 2014 will be a slow year for Nintendo 3DS, in favour of pushing up the Wii U catalogue and sales in a similar way as they’ve done with 3DS this year. Third parties will not change too much on their terms with Nintendo, although there will be a few important multiplatform games that will be at Nintendo consoles too. One of them will be a really important third party IP that will turn exclusive to Nintendo in a similar way of Bayonetta 2 did. It will also create loads of drama like Sega’s exclusivity deal did. The source has not disclosed if this IP is coming from the Sega X Nintendo deal or not.
Those are all the information and rumors this source has claimed. As we said before, we are confident about this source legitimacy, but as it not official and it can still change as time goes, we will label this as a RUMOR.

There is a 3DS Kirby game in development, but it won’t be shown for some time. The same goes for a planned Metroid 3DS game; it has been in development for some time but we won’t see it soon. I can personally corroborate this last one, since I personally got the same info about Metroid 3DS from a Nintendo rep back in 2011.

It’s unknown who is developing this game, but the same source claims Retro Studios is working on two games at the moment. One of them will be huge; it will in, fact be revealed in a Nintendo Direct event after E3, but it won’t be released until late 2014, as it will be Nintendo’s big bet for the year along with Smash Bros. It’s a shooting game, from an already known IP. In this game, you will be able to scan scenery with the Wii U Gamepad and use the Wii U Gamepad Touch Screen to control your spaceship. The game is looking really good graphically–one of the most advanced graphics you’re going to see on Wii U. The other game is said to be a smaller game, similar to what Donkey Kong Country Returns was. Might this one be Metroid 3DS?

There will be other games revealed for 2014, at Nintendo’s E3 and upcoming Nintendo Directs after.

Mario Kart U will be presented at E3, and will be playable at the fair, as Nintendo confirmed not too long ago (again, when the source claimed this, that hadn’t been announced yet). The game will be very online focused, with lots of Miiverse and Community options. Missions will make a comeback, and they will add some kind of achievements system to the game too. It will be released in 2014, meanwhile, the third exclusive Sonic game will take its place, as we reported yesterday.

There will be a teaser for Bayonetta 2 at the E3 too, and a Yoshi’s Island 3 teaser. They will also show a pretty shocking teaser for Smash Bros U/3DS. The game will feature sightly different gameplay than older installments of the Smash Bros series. The 3DS version will be very different to the Wii U one, content wise. There will be a few newcomer characters shown at the teaser: Little Mac, Takamaru, Tom Nook, Palutena, Dark Pit (the source says he is not sure if it’s a transformation for Pit like Zelda/Sheik or a standalone character), and Bayonetta.

There will be other games–smaller ones. Nintendo is working in a new IP of a genre it has not much experience with. Not much was disclosed besides that. There will be other games, like a new Project Zero game for Wii U. Already revealed ones like Shin Megami Tensei Vs Fire Emblem, Zelda, and X will take some time still. The one we might be seeing sooner is X, which will be released the first half of 2014 in Japan.

Last, but not least, 2014 will be a slow year for Nintendo 3DS, in favour of pushing up the Wii U catalogue and sales in a similar way as they’ve done with 3DS this year. Third parties will not change too much on their terms with Nintendo, although there will be a few important multiplatform games that will be at Nintendo consoles too. One of them will be a really important third party IP that will turn exclusive to Nintendo in a similar way of Bayonetta 2 did. It will also create loads of drama like Sega’s exclusivity deal did. The source has not disclosed if this IP is coming from the Sega X Nintendo deal or not.

Let's be serious here for a second, adults of /v/.

I work as a GM on an online game that will not be named.

I've noticed an alarming increase of (generally younger, although not limited to the age bracket) players either attempting to justify their bad behavior, attempt to play it as a disability so I will act more urgently, or attempt to use outright be excused from punishment because of one thing:

"I'm autistic."

Why the FUCK has this become this generation's excuse for everything? Why does it afflict the gaming youth of this generation so harshly? This wasn't a problem when we were kids. We had Sonic back then, Sonic didn't make people autistic. Where did we go wrong?

I personally am sick of Yakuza. It's a fine series, but it's practically Japan's Madden or Call of Duty at this point. And poor Amusement Vision - the creators of fun, creative, EXCELLENT games like Super Monkey Ball, F-Zero GX, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future (since they absorbed Smilebit when Sega restructured their internal studios last generation) - are now stuck making only one game again and again and again. Year after year. F***ing annualized series. I can't imagine they even have many people still working there who were there during the Monkey Ball/Jet Set days. 
 
I'd trade all the Yakuza games for another Jet Set title. Sega's problems were never finding creative games or having talented guys pump out quality titles - it was always in promotion. Games like Jet Set could've been much more successful if they were promoted better. But now we'll never see these types of games from Amusement Vision again. That sucks. 
 
I bet Sumo Digital could make a great Jet Set game for some reason, though. They were so respectful of many of Sega's franchises when they made the awesome, underrated Sonic All Stars Racing.

Can we have an actual discussion about the 3 next gen consoles without any trolling or console wars bullshit? Here's my opinion on this gen's products:

Xbone: As a 360 owner, it goes without saying that I'm greatly disappointed in the product MS has put out. I understand what they are trying to do with this console, but more and more each day it just comes of as a greedy money grab. I just can't shake this feeling that they are trying to cut into Nintendo's "family console" niche, while selling to gamers based on the xbox name alone. I'm waiting to hear which of the 15 exclusives they will trot out for this thing, but knowing MS over the years, more than half of these will be kinect game bullshit titles. They are going to do have to do much better than Halo and GoW, which I feel has gone stale and become tired over the years. I wasn't excited at all for Halo 4, and I didn't even play the last gears. Simply put they are going to need an amazing show at E3 to sell this thing. I keep trying to not hate it but the more I read the more I find myself wondering, "Wow how could they seriously think any of this is a good idea?"

Nintendo: Nintendo, while having an underpowered console, still manages to find and satisfy their niche with fun ideas for games and hardware. People like to compare Nintendo to Xbox and PS, but the truth is that it revolves around its own sun. Nintendo lovers will buy a Wii-U for the usual Mario/Zelda/Metroid and they will have fun with it. Honestly that's the only reason anyone ever bought any Nintendo console. Having sonic doesn't hurt either. Bottom line is it's a fun console that shouldn't be expected as anything more than a Super Smash Bros box, which is what my Wii devolved into at the end of its life; but at the same time it never really aspired to be anything more than that.

Let's make something happen /v/.

We all collaborate on a shitty sprite-based comic based on - you guessed it - Sonic the Hedgehog. Our aim shall be to make the shittiest thing possible. It could star an "original" fan character, as long as it's unoriginal and a mary sue. And above all, it has to be as autistic as humanly possible. When we're done, I'll make a community deviantart page and share the comics on it.

Feel free to be a killjoy and sage, or say something like "not vidya", "mods delete this", or the like. But just think for a moment: You'd have fun doing this.

Now let's get started.

title: Lost World(s) is so hot, it has TWO run buttons
comment:
"As mentioned, Sonic Team’s greatest challenge was maintaining a sense of speed for the series while finding controls that made sense. The result is now that, by default, Sonic doesn’t burst off with a tilt of the analog stick. He walks – until you use one of the GamePad’s triggers to engage his running speed. This too is actually not full speed. Holding down the second trigger will pull Sonic into a ball, giving him access to his full momentum, which Iizuka likened to the ‘Boost speed’ from previous titles. By creating a tiered structure to movement, Sonic Team is hoping players will be able to navigate the wide range of level designs, exploring and running as necessary."

Holy fuck. TWO run buttons. Wii-U confirmed for console of the generation.

Luckily I Managed to save every last post in a .htm on my desktop.

For those of you who don't know what "Ethan the Hedgehog" is:
As you may very well know Sonic the Hedgehog has a rather autistic following, usually creating some form of fucked up Sonic character to represent themselves on deviantart.

/v/ had a thread dedicated to create the most intentionally autistic comics it could possibly make based on this one.
They are going to be compiled into some form of storyline and then uploaded to Deviantart.

Yesterday we published some interesting info about the Sega and Nintendo partnership, coming from a source near Nintendo. But that source did not only reveal us some details about SEGA games (quite some time before they were officially revealed, so the legitimacy of the source was proven), but also some info on the upcoming Nintendo lineup.

For starters, our source has confirmed that the majority of what we already know thanks to Nintendo Direct will be Nintendo’s E3 lineup, since there will be not many big surprises for the event or the 2013 lineup. Nintendo will hold itself up on a few titles until the end of this year. Those will be Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U, Wonderful 101, Wii Party U, Zelda Wind Waker and Mario, which will be shown and playable at E3 for Wii U. Animal Crossing, Mario & Luigi, Mario Golf, Pokémon, Mario Party and Zelda are also planned for the 3DS.

Nintendo’s launch window has been modified, and titles that should have been released this Christmas will move to 2014. That’s what happened to the so-called Yoshi’s Yarn game; it has been delayed to 2014 since Nintendo will make “Yoshi’s Year”, in a similar way they had made 2013 “Luigi’s Year.”

The next 3D Mario game for Wii U won’t be a Galaxy game, but it will take some titbits of it to make a full open world platformer. It will make an intensive use of the touch screen for some game mechanics.

About 3DS, there will be no big surprises for the rest of the year. Nintendo will publish some little games, niche series and forgotten IPs directly at eShop, similar to how they published Mario Vs Donkey Kong. There will also be a 3DS Japan only Nintendo Direct presenting some games for the Japanese market, like Daigasso Band Brothers, a Skip game and a Monolith title.

There is a 3DS Kirby game in development, but it won’t be shown for some time. The same goes for a planned Metroid 3DS game; it has been in development for some time but we won’t see it soon. I can personally corroborate this last one, since I personally got the same info about Metroid 3DS from a Nintendo rep back in 2011.

It will be released in 2014, meanwhile, the third exclusive Sonic game will take its place, as we reported yesterday.

There will be a teaser for Bayonetta 2 at the E3 too, and a Yoshi’s Island 3 teaser. They will also show a pretty shocking teaser for Smash Bros U/3DS. The game will feature sightly different gameplay than older installments of the Smash Bros series. The 3DS version will be very different to the Wii U one, content wise. There will be a few newcomer characters shown at the teaser: Little Mac, Takamaru, Tom Nook, Palutena, Dark Pit (the source says he is not sure if it’s a transformation for Pit like Zelda/Sheik or a standalone character), and Bayonetta.

There will be other games–smaller ones. Nintendo is working in a new IP of a genre it has not much experience with. Not much was disclosed besides that. There will be other games, like a new Project Zero game for Wii U. Already revealed ones like Shin Megami Tensei Vs Fire Emblem, Zelda, and X will take some time still. The one we might be seeing sooner is X, which will be released the first half of 2014 in Japan.

The source has not disclosed if this IP is coming from the Sega X Nintendo deal or not.

Those are all the information and rumors this source has claimed. As we said before, we are confident about this source legitimacy, but as it not official and it can still change as time goes, we will label this as a RUMOR.

title: Super Smash Bros. Reveal
comment:
I've seen some threads floating around about "leaks" for the new Smash Bros., but knowing some people within Nintendo-Europe I began collecting some information, and a few days ago I saw the Nintendo Direct trailer for the new Smash Bros. games. (I have also heard some new information on the new Yoshi game for Wii U and a new Kirby game for 3DS.) I've heard that the team was still waiting to deliver the final scene so the cut I watched was (next to being heavily watermarked) lacking some punch. I'm expecting to see a newcomer reveal at the actual Direct.

>The Wii U and 3DS games will be called "Super Smash Bros. 4"
>Visual style is very different from Melee/Brawl, bright, colorful
>Trailer is CGI and gameplay mixed and about 2 minutes long
>No 3DS footage is shown
>Uses ALTTP Link design, Mario Galaxy/3D Land Mario
>Meta Knight, Ness, Bowser (very different design from Brawl), Pit, Sonic (not even treated as special), Fox, Pikachu, Samus (Other M design), Kirby and Peach return.
>Newcomers for this trailer are presented just like in the Brawl trailer:
>Bowser Jr., Ridley, Medusa shown alongside Bowser and Meta Knight as "Villains"
>Little Mac, New Pikmin team, Lucina and Balloon Fighter appear as "Heroes". No new Pokemon rep shown.
>New Yarn Yoshi stage, new Green Hill, New Super Mario Bros-style level, another lava stage from Metroid, a Kid Icarus town stage and a forest on fire stage.
>No Snake or Big Boss seen so far sadly.
>In game footage looks extremely colorful and cartoony, in a good way. Moving away from Brawl realism and more towards a refined Smash 64 in HD. Visual style feels similar to Kirby Wii and Mario 3D Land. No voice acting for any of the characters yet, trailer has an orchestral soundtrack with a new main theme.
>Hints of a 3rd person Adventure Mode are shown. Pikachu running through ALTTP field.
>Trailer ends with Mario charging and doing his forward Smash to the screen, screen fade to white, COMING SOON.

Ask me anything.

It sounds like Sonic to me.

I personally am sick of Yakuza. It's a fine series, but it's practically Japan's Madden or Call of Duty at this point. And poor Amusement Vision - the creators of fun, creative, EXCELLENT games like Super Monkey Ball, F-Zero GX, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future (since they absorbed Smilebit when Sega restructured their internal studios last generation) - are now stuck making only one game again and again and again. Year after year. F***ing annualized series. I can't imagine they even have many people still working there who were there during the Monkey Ball/Jet Set days. 
 
I'd trade all the Yakuza games for another Jet Set title. Sega's problems were never finding creative games or having talented guys pump out quality titles - it was always in promotion. Games like Jet Set could've been much more successful if they were promoted better. But now we'll never see these types of games from Amusement Vision again. That sucks. 
 
I bet Sumo Digital could make a great Jet Set game for some reason, though. They were so respectful of many of Sega's franchises when they made the awesome Sonic All Stars Racing.

I'm not much of a Sonic 'fan' - the newest game I've played in the series is Sonic Adventure 2: Battle back when it cwas re-released for Gamecube, and the classics before that, but that' it.

But reading about and seeing video and screenshots of 'Lost World,' I gotta say, I'm pretty excited for it. Really, it looks like it might finally be a really excellent 3D Sonic game. Might even be a [spoiler]system seller[/spoiler] for me.

What does everyone else think?

From the IGN Preview, this game will have a completly new play playstyle for Sonic.

"“Exhilarating and dynamic speed can sometimes conflict with [intuitive] controls, so we're constantly trying to improve the balance between the two,” Iizuka said, noting that improving control in this game was “of the utmost importance” to the team. Two key ideas were born of this focus – being able to control Sonic’s speed, and a ‘Parkour system’ that allows players to automatically accommodate basic obstacles when he’s running.

As mentioned, Sonic Team’s greatest challenge was maintaining a sense of speed for the series while finding controls that made sense. The result is now that, by default, Sonic doesn’t burst off with a tilt of the analog stick. He walks – until you use one of the GamePad’s triggers to engage his running speed. This too is actually not full speed. Holding down the second trigger will pull Sonic into a ball, giving him access to his full momentum, which Iizuka likened to the ‘Boost speed’ from previous titles. By creating a tiered structure to movement, Sonic Team is hoping players will be able to navigate the wide range of level designs, exploring and running as necessary."

Also the Wisps return

Basicilly Sonic Generations + Assasins Creed + Mario Galaxy + Sonic X-treme

Why do Sega get more games on Ninty platforms than PS360?

Even now, there is one game on 3DS and another coming soon, AS WELL as 3 for Wii U.
Vita has no Snaic games.
PS4 will probably get 1 (2 if lucky).

Is it me or has the advent of better hardware stifled creativity?

I mean, just look at this recent comparison

Sonic Xtreme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzvS_beXtXk

Sonic: Lost World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-znhaTA8jOg

Sonic Xtreme still looks far more creative (especially for back then). From the music, to the atmosphere to everything.

The thing is, games were much more creative when developers had to think of creative ways to use the limited hardware.
It seems like restrictions and limitations produce something far more beautiful.

At least from my experiences. You have to strike a nice balance between freedom and restriction, and I think that the Ps1 and Ps2 gens struck that balance.

Thoughts?

So I did something like this a few weeks back when I got a Genesis and you guys gave me lots of great advice so I figured I would ask about another system I've added to the collection.
I just got an Original Xbox, it was a little worn, had some scuffs but looks otherwise ok, turns on and runs fine but here's the question
It has a weird red blochy hue over the games. I tried Halo 1 and 2 and got the same nasty red blurb over the gameplay. It's hooked up useing Monster composite into a switcher box and into a 32" Panasonic
Any chance this is just a bad cord?

Also when I mention the Genesis last time you guys suggested some great games to play one it so. . .
Any games that you guys consider HAVE to be in an Xbox library. I already have the 2 Halo's but that's it.

So since the basic premise of this game is a near clone of Sonic Xtreme the story should go like this.

>Dr Robotnik steals the Master Emerald, believing a hidden creature is living within it. 
>Upon destroying it, the deadly six are set loose. They turn on Robotnik and begin causing havok around the world
>Sonic and Robotnik team up to try and stop them.
>Each of the six hold an ingredient for a cure that Robotnik and Sonic need to cure themselves of a poison that was released from the Master Emerald 

Sonic Colors story was completely ripped from Sonic Xtreme as well. So this isn't completely out of the question. Now why the Master Emerald didn't poison Rouge, Eggman and Knuckles in SA2 I don't know.

No I'm not announcing any leaks or anything like that, just wild skepticism. But Sega currently has it's fanbase in a frenzy right now, a lot of people that were disappointed from the lack of a Sonic game on the Saturn are now freaking out at the site of Sonic Lost World due to it's similarities to Sonic Xtreme. Now imagine this, Sega is successful with Lost World and decides to make a sequal. Said sequal has a dark, more psychedelic art style that looks influenced by Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic CD (much like Xtreme was) and then imagine them playing Chris Senn's Space Queens in a reveal trailer for it. What kind of reaction would come of the fanbase?

I want to get into PC gaming, /v/. I have a pretty shitty laptop right now but I want to build a PC. The only problem is, there aren't that many games on the PC that I'm interested in and I don't get it. People say PC has a lot of games but (to me at least) it doesn't. I even notice a lot of people always wanting a PC release of a game because a lot of games never come to PC.

Anyway, if I did get into PC gaming, these are the only games that interest me:

>Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed
>Sonic Generations
>Rayman Origins
>Jet Set Radio
>Space Channel 5
>Crazy Taxi
>Thief 4 (maybe)
>Ys Oath
>Ys Origins

That's it. 8, maybe 9 games. I don't know if I want to buy a PC just for those. Nothing else interest me. I'm not into FPS, strategy games, anything. I've looked and looked and can't find anything else I like.

What do, /v/? Should I just stick with console gaming?

So, expectations? 

Between X, WWHD, Retro's game, Smash 4, MK U and 3D Mario I'm pretty content with what they're going to show. Some more info and trailers on TW101 and Bayo 2 would be fantastic, alongside some Sonic Lost World footage. I also expect the usual third party showings. Talks of the Summer Update for the Wii U is also expected. 

3DS wise, I honestly have no idea since it's well supported already. New trailers from already announced games is very likely, a proper trailer for Yoshi 3DS and Zelda 3DS and maybe a new Kirby is going to be announced.

All in all, I'm trying to not overhype myself and be disappointed. But with how Nintendo Directs usually turn out, I'm not too worried.

-I got rid of all my consoles to upgrade to a True master race, but nothing really worth playing anymore

-Despite almost nothing new to play on PC, I've managed to spend quite bunch on steam and GoG games, almost 1000$ down the drain. And an addition to that, risked pissing off my otherwise passive ISP by downloading dozens of pirated games

-Spend all my time on 4chan instead of friends or playing games. Wait till the last minute to finish school work

-developed a rage problem with people who post memes in games, even if it was a minor or accidental one.

Would it be powerful enough to play whatever I like and look good, too? Any changes I should make? Is now a good time to buy? 

Let me know if there is a better place to ask. I haven't had a decent gaaimen rig in years. I'm looking forward to playing on something civilized for a change.

So /v/ I have a challenge for you.

My little sister is six years old, and since we're really close, she notices alot of my gaming, and wants to play alot of video games herself. I've been trying to get some good stuff to her, I've let her loose on Mario, Smash, Sonic, Ape Escape, and Minecraft, we have a blast, but there's something very specific that I'd like her to experience: JRPG's.

Is there a JRPG out there that a 6 year old could handle while still being semi-decent? Does such a game exist?

Was playing this today when it dawned on me:
Sonic R has the best designed levels of any sonic game

- beautiful wide open areas to run around in

- hidden passages and alternate routes

- nary a bottomless pit

If they had crafted an actual platformer with stages like the courses from this game, history would have taken a completely different path. The game would have been heralded as sonic's mario 64. They would have built upon this framework, making a game in place of Sonic Adventure that was the messiah of platformers. The dreamcast would have never died. Microsoft would have never entered the race. The entire gaming culture would have never shifted to the west.

>June 2012, before E3
Free games announced for Club Nintendo announced were Donkey Kong, and Kirby Super Star. The following event, a week later at E3, one of the most focused things on Nintendo's E3 stage was the DK Crash Course mini-game based on the original Donkey Kong. Kirby's anniversary collection was also officially confirmed/announced, with a name, price, and release date that E3. 

>January 2013, before the big Wii U direct
Free game announced for Club Nintendo was Mario Kart 64. The next event, shortly after in the same month, Mario Kart U is one of the many titles announced in the big Wii U direct. Punch-Out!! is also featured in the direct as part of the 30 cent games for 30th year of the Family Computer. In the same Club Nintendo rewards catalogue, it was made available before the direct for the 3DS. 

>June 2013, before the big Wii U E3 direct
Free game announced for Club Nintendo was Metroid II, and F-ZERO X. Retro is rumoured to be working on something "everyone wants", and Shin'en said "they have something in the works" when told they should be the ones working on F-ZERO - and if it's not them, SEGA has been very buddy-buddy with Nintendo as of late with Yakuza and Sonic.

In other words? Metroid and F-Zero.

So as it happens, I think both Portal and its sequel are some of the greatest video games ever made. The gameplay is consistently unique and brilliant, the aesthetics (both visual and aural) are distinct, and the writing/characterization was downright hilarious. Above all else, they were both boundlessly fun.

Unfortunately, the fanbase is quite possibly one of the worst on planet Earth - but whatever, fans will be stupid fans. I hate the Sonic fanbase more than life itself but that hasn't stopped the earlier and most recent games in the series from being great.

Mario is just a straight line with occasional hidden rooms.

>We live an age where 'linear' is a cussword in vidya.

While i fully understand taking something like final fantasy and making it linear like they did with 13 sucked, it sucked because it removed exploration - a key element in the franchise. Linearity by itself is not a bad thing. When used correctly it focuses the player and directs them down a desired path. 

That and linearity is not defined by merely one style.
Most first person shooters have you move from A to B and in confined corridors made up to look open. Thats linearity. See half life 2 or metro 2033
Most survival horror games lack proper side stories and as such give you the illusion of choice and free roaming yet you are always working on a single puzzle and a single item to progress with no other option to deviate from this singular path of puzzle A to puzzle B
Journey and shadow of the colossus have wide open vistas to explore. Yet the goal is always a singular point to head to regardless of whatever obstacles you may see on the way.

Hell look at 90% of games in your childhood, if you were born pre 1990. Mario and sonic? a very linear left to right experience with enemies to jump on and pitfalls to jump over.

Videogames in essence are an exercise in linear entertainment. So why do younger anons feel that every game must be a sandbox freeroam experience? This illusion of choice seems to convince them that linearity is a detriment and not the norm of videogame design.

The truth is a linear game can be excellent, the defining factor is how much freedom of expression the player is given within the confines of the games world that make it good or bad. Not singular direction or linearity of scope.

At worst a games enthusiast can say that linearity has lead to an increased laziness in devs leading to simpler dungeons in rpgs, greater useage of recloured and recycled models and so on. Which is true, however each individual dev that does this is at fault, not the nature of the product itself.

Serious question, do we need a Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods) for gaming franchises? It seems like right now we are just in a constant state of squeals and rehashses. Look at how long games like Zelda, Mario, Sonic, etc have been out. This could be extended a bit further to some of the more "recent" franchises like Halo and Silent Hill.

Perhaps its time we give them a rest, put a proper ending to it and close the book.

By ending these maybe it will force developers to try new ideas.

SSB Wii U is called Super Smash Bros. Calamity
SSB 3DS is called Super Smash Bros. Calamity Portable

Japanese name for the Wii U game is 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ災
Japanese name for the 3DS game is 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ災ポータブル

The Nintendo Direct trailer is exactly 1:35 long and is almost entirely CG. Seems like the opening of the game and definitely looks like a throwback to Melee's opening. The theme is Ellie is infected and kills David after he kills Joel. There is no cure but sounds entirely original. 

Characters seen in order of their appearance: Mario, Link, Pit, Kirby, Pikachu, Mewtwo (in his new X/Y form), DK, Captain Falcon, Fox, Samus, Peach, Zelda, Palutena, Olimar, Ness, Ice Climbers, Shulk, Marth, Tharja, Yoshi, Bowser, Sonic, Pac-Man

Newcomers: Mewtwo, Palutena, Shulk, Tharja, and Pac-Man

I can answer questions about trailer specifics and I'll be around for the next 15 minutes or so. Screencapping for justice come 6/11.

Sonic Lost world is 14 letters

The game takes on half pipes like Sonic 2 14 minus 2 is 12

The only number that can go in to twelve twice is 6

The opening trailer where it zooms in on the flickys contains 6 animals

The trailer is 1 minute and 21 seconds long 121 divided by 6 is 20.166666666666666666666666666667

2016 divided 6 is 336 

336 divided by 6 is 56 

56 divided by 6 is 9.3

3 goes in to 9 3 times

3 backwards is E

3 E's go in to 9

E3

I like this game.

There are entire action RPGs with systems inferior to the Werehog segments. This is very much Gurumin or Zwei II and other Falcom RPG's in Sonic clothing (at least all non-day stage elements). People enjoyed entire games built on a foundation similar to that of the Werehog. The combat is deeper than a lot of similar games, the visuals more beautiful and varied, the towns small and to the point, and you get the ultra awesome Sonic stages on top of it all.

Do you think photo realistic visuals would be a good thing in video games ?

Personally mixed opinion on the matter sure it would have unbelievable immersion and to see fantasy worlds and alien planets in photo realism would be magical, however my only concern is legal matters and art style of games, how would people react to a war sim with photo realism and life like AI crazy women would be up in arms trying to ban it, and with the option of photo realism would people still make cartoonish or artsy game styles how would something like kirby or sonic translate ?

Problem is, being the mechanical monstrosity that I am, I see the world in numbers in formulas. Not fun, likable characters or interesting environments.
What would you guys like to see in a game? If I get some ideas in here that are likable, I might just work them into the design.
