That’s cool. I wish my grandma liked 7up like yours did. Feels Villeneuve posted:klonoa.... njsykora posted:Colony God drat Wars, the whole trilogy. Wip3out, Formula 1 97/Championship Edition, Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Wild 9, Harmful Park, Incredible Crisis, Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere (only the Japanese version though which has an excellent fan translation), Gungage, Ridge Racer Type 4. acksplode posted:Stuff that I've played recently so I know it holds up: Klonoa, Vagrant Story, FF Tactics, probably all the mainline FFs though I can only speak to 7 and 8, the Armored Core 1 trilogy (with heavily remapped controls), Brave Fencer Musashi, Soul Reaver (better on Dreamcast though) Ty all for the suggestions I knew this would be a good place to ask. Getting cooked and playing old games is very relaxing. It’s incredible…good games have been coming out for years…and it’ll never stop

Things get annoying if you have a 7 year old who likes to wander around... That shouldn't be an issue if we are playing on different devices, right? Just got it on PS5 and got Game Pass on my Series S (and PC) so we can play in my goon cave like we already did with Minecraft between my PC and my Xbox. Thanks!

It’s kind of sad that the most visually advanced Wipeout game ever made is a PS4 remaster of a Vita game. Like, if one Sony franchise needs a PS5 graphics lookin entry it’s wipeout.

Wipeout was one of the crown jewels of British gamedev, we still have many good studios (Rockstar!) but it was a golden era back then. Psygnosis, Rare, Codemasters, Core, Lionhead, many of the era-defining games came from here and this time period. What Sony did to the studio was criminal

Paid 6bux for EA Play to play Jedi Survivor, and drat this game feels like poo poo to play. The controls for combat feel so much less crisp than the games it draws inspiration from. And despite all the yellow paint signposting for directions as to where to go, this game somehow still almost purposefully makes certain things obtuse and not in a "this is supposed to be a puzzle" way. Like straight up non-sensical poo poo sometimes. I played the first game and read the sequel made improvements on everything that was bad in the first game, but I am doubting this!

Like straight up non-sensical poo poo sometimes. I’m gonna keep making GBS threads on Jedi survivor because I’m trying to play it now too. The game looks like dog poo poo in motion, setting it to performance mode means it looks like poo poo all the time, so that’s not really a fix. The combat (when there is combat; it’s possible to go hours without fighting anything) isn’t great. And yeah, trying to figure out where you need to go can be infuriating vague at times because traversal is supposed to be a puzzle. Honestly the biggest sin (besides being ugly) is the huge amounts of platforming. Whenever I wanna hit stormtroopers I feel like I spend an hour or 2 climbing and jumping around, not fighting anything and half the time I feel lost.

Though Core was well on the road to self destruction before the end of the PS1 era already, that studio was apparently hell on earth and a neverending crunch death march by the time The Last Revelation came out.

I'm stuck in Animal Well with a conspicuous gap in my map and inventory and I'm going insane. Game owns. You can't call it metroidvania anymore due to woke but too bad it's one of my favorite metroidvanias.

Like straight up non-sensical poo poo sometimes. Give it some time. I was extremely meh on the first one but loved the second. It's not perfect, but once you get into the flow of it it's pretty great imo. Early on you are stuck in a linear area, then the next area is so big it's like the size of some entire games, but the metroidvania aspect doesn't show itself much in the opening hours. it really is a better game than Fallen Order by orders of magnitude. the exploration is great. the world is very densely designed with stuff to do without it getting too rote. Also some of my favorite platforming sections in a while. The combat still isn't best in clas,s but you get so many abilities it sort of makes up for it. If nothing else it's pretty viscerally satisfying although Respawn should take a look at stellar blade cause the gameplay is basically Jedi but way better. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 23:33 on May 18, 2024 |

Jesus I hope they don't do that. It's fun, but Survivor is definitely the better of the two. A lot more player choice in build, response to attacks, and control of position. Bringing in a bit of the Arkham style of combat is a good way of bringing in more players for an easier style of these games, but I don't really want it brought into other series. The automated positioning correction, animations that get their timing corrected within a window of error, or attacks that both color code which response you need to make and flash both a warning and exact timing input... that all just undermines the fun for me. A lot of why the From and Team Ninja games were a breath of fresh air was giving a range of response choice and leaving the burden of both reading attacks and accurately timing your response.

"Feel" is a very subjective thing. It has a different approach that doesn't appeal as much to me. SB2 can explore that vein of design further, but I'd hope the third Jedi games sticks to it's respective approach too.

I thought Jedi Survivor was fine minus the performance issues. They clearly couldn't optimize the open worlds with whatever engine that game uses, because it would absolutely tank FPS on the main hub planet.

UE4. Which has been awful for just about any game attempting to stream large environments. The SB team does deserve credit for getting it to run at a rock solid 60 while still looking good. It’s not attempting anything as ambitious as Survivor, but they didn’t have to sacrifice asset quality or lighting like Rebirth did. Only other game I can think of that utilized that generation of the engine as well for open areas is Gears 5, and even then it was quite a bit more constrained.

Another goon pointed out to me that Jedi Survivor and Stellar Blade are actually pretty similar games and I’d have to agree. They do many of the same things. both are a hodge lodge of modern game ideas kind of thrown together in a similar way that works pretty well. Imo stellar blade has way better combat. Jedi is a little more complex, but it always felt a little off to me. Still very good I just never totally vibed out on it. Stellar Blade combat is like, extremely my poo poo. Jedi blows SB out of the water with the exploration, environments, and story though. SB is just sort of getting the job done in all of those depts, except the story and writing, which is just painfully bad.

Jedi survivor was a very satisfying Jedi game once you got the flow of it and weaved in all your force powers and stances. You could get highly cinematic with your styling. I haven't played the coomer porn addict game but I bet it satisfies whatever it is people that watch anime want from a game.

I think I made the comparison first. They’re extremely similar and I’d say most people who would like one would also like the other. For me, Jedi was the stronger of the two from a gameplay design standpoint. Better level design, better platforming, and I personally like combat that puts the burden of correct positioning and reading timing on the player. I can understand why a large amount of players would prefer SB’s combat though, and it’s far more technically polished.

Outside of playing Digimon World, omega boost and the opening ten minutes of Tenchu I never played a lot of ps1 since I was like 5 years old. What are some people’s favourite games from that period? I remember xenogears is a thread favourite and I’m stoked on early From stuff. Bishi Bashi Special, Tomba 1 & 2, The Incredible Crisis
