I can't remember if I shared this here already? Anyway, I was rummaging through some old pictures, found one from a random game in Rocket League. I hope this counts...I mean, really it could serve just as well as an anecdote, but, well..

Those things all got launched from space and slammed into the ground at the same time. Note that that is stage 3. The one before it with the million ants and giant robots and pew pew bullets all over the sky is stage 2.

EDF is in this really weird place where it's simultaneously incredibly stupid, and yet such an obvious concept that I still don't know why it wasn't made earlier. The synopsis sounds like the kind of game you'd expect to find on an NES or in an arcade. At least we have it now. :allears:

Well, it started its life as a budget PS2 game meant to recall those older games but in 3D, so yeah.

I knew about the budget part, but not that it was an intentional homage. That just makes it cooler.

Best part about edf is that everything is massive. The smallest enemies are still five times your size.

I saw one of the older games that had a centipede. Seeing it move around in the distance was scary, but if the segments didn't have eyes and just wiggled around, I might have mission failed my pants.


EDF looks more to be an evolution of shmups or games like Advance Wars. There was always intense lag in consoles when you had a handful of moving sprites and if you made it all 3D, the PSX would slow down to a crawl.

Did the franchise start out in a serious tone and localized to be as B-movie as possible?

Absolutely not; it's designed to look like a B movie from the very beginning.

The gameplay itself keeps getting better and more refined (and the frame rate is now high and stable) but they've been careful to keep that cheap feeling in the aesthetics.

I finished it the other day, it really is beautiful. Surprised it came out in 2013 and looked that good, but then I don't play many new games.

The best part is how they all play it perfectly serious. Sure, it's all cheesy as hell, but at no point do they ever wink at the player and pass it all off as 'ironic'. It's all so ernest and that just leaves you with the biggest grin on your face when your support team celebrate when you've blown up a flying saucer that's dropping giant spiders over Milwaukee.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Not to derail too much but I found the ending to NITW more depressing than any other game I've played this year. Nobody has really addressed any of their problems and Possum Springs will continue to wither away and die while it consumes the lives of Mae's generation. Like everybody gets out of it okay but there's no indication that anything is going to get better for the main cast.
