id be happy for them to just relase PSO2 over here at this point

I remember Jeff Gerstmann saying that someone at Sega told them off the record that it is almost 100% certain there will never be a native English release for PSO2. The reasoning being that by this point, all the Western fans have already bought the Japanese version and downloaded a translation patch, and even if that weren't true the cost of setting up and running servers for an entirely separate continent would make the game incapable of turning a profit.

It has the old music but the "retro" graphics make everything pixelated and 128-colour. The "classic" mode is also still fairly different from the old game.

It used to be, back in the 1950s or so. In terms of infrastructure, a lot of places were awesome back then, if mostly because modern science didn't tell them that "asbestos will give you cancer" and "earthquakes will crush you dead given this architecture" and so on.
In terms of everything else, it was rather bad. Same for a lot of places.




All this talk about Hitman 2016 got me to finish Hitman: Absolution. It was a curated experience, and made me glad to uninstall it now that I was done with it story-wise.

Going through the odd unplayed Steam cruft I've accumulated over the years and Lucius has to be one of the funniest games I've played in a while. Playing as Not-Damien and doing chores for Mommy while she endlessly walks into walls and closed doors in between comically slaughtering the hired help with satan-powered Rube Goldberg machines, all while Detective McGuffin bends over backwards to not notice the creepy dead-eyed Satan baby lurking at every crime scene.

Then you find a pistol and can send people ragdolling across the map with one shot.

NX controller spotted

its an oval iphone with two sticks and two shoulder buttons. everything else will be touch. lmao.





quote:

FIG. 11(A) and FIG. 11(B) show a further example of the game screen 100. An enemy character 106 is displayed in a screen center of the game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(A), and the player character 102 turns to the enemy character 106. Furthermore, near each of the first operation stick 18a and the second operation stick 18b, a plurality of item images 120 are displayed. Although illustration is omitted, a background image is also displayed in the game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(A) (FIG. 11(B) is the same).

On the game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(A), by touching the item image 120, an item can be used. Since the item image 120 is thus displayed near the first operation stick 18a and the second operation stick 18b, it is possible to use an item by selecting a desired item by a touch input and depressing the first operation stick 18a or the second operation stick 18b near the item, for example. This is an example and should not be limited. When instructing the use of an item, the first operation stick 18a or the second operation stick 18b should just be pushed.

In addition, the item image 120 is displayed about the item that the player character 102 owns. Furthermore, the item image 120 should just be displayed according to a predetermined timing (event) such as a case where there is a displaying instruction by the player or a case of battling against the enemy character 106, and does not need to be displayed always.

In the game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(A), for example, if the item image 120 that an image of a gun is drawn is selected (touched), it is determined that the player character 102 uses a gun object 108. Then, the game screen 100 as shown in FIG. 11(B) becomes to be displayed on the display panel 14. The game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(B) is drawn with a first-person viewpoint of the player character 102, and a part of hand of the player character 102 is displayed. Furthermore, since having determined the use of the gun object 108 as mentioned above, the gun object 108 is grasped by the hand of the player character 102. A point that the enemy character 106 is displayed in the screen center is the same as the game screen 100 of FIG. 11(A). Furthermore, since the item to be used is selected, the item image 120 is non-displayed in the game screen 100 shown in FIG. 11(B).

As shown also in FIG. 11(B), the part of the hand of the player character 102 and the gun object 108 are displayed near the second operation stick 18b. For example, an operation that makes the gun object 108 move or shoot a bullet is performed by the second operation stick 18b. Therefore, since the gun object 108 is displayed near the thumb of the player, a feeling that the player is directly operating the gun object 108 is obtained.

That is, since the game screen 100 drawn from the first-person viewpoint is displayed on the display panel 14 having a form similar to a form of the visual filed of the human being, the player can obtain a feeling of immersion into the virtual game space. Furthermore, since the gun object 108 is displayed near the thumb of the player, it is thought that a higher feeling of immersion can be obtained.
