Couldn't they mocap someone signing the script and use the animations for whatever character was speaking?

I feel like sign language would be really reliant on a consistent framerate and animations. Anything gets in the way of smooth presentation and it's totally thrown.

BioEnchanted posted:I think I've got to the actual final level in Ape Escape now, Spectreland - I quite like that this last stand is basically Spectre wanting to play - he just thought of it, and quickly had it built during the TV Tower boss fight, at least according to his reaction "Wait, I've just thought of something.... I'll call you later, look forward to it. " At this point I don't even know if Spectre has a coherent plan, he just seems to be doing bullshit. It's fun though. Also I like the map - all the other worlds have 3 levels in a tight circle for the map select screen, but Spectreland takes up the entire wheel on it's own, being the largest level - 24 monkeys, 10 coins and Spectre all await. I can infer from your posts that you're playing the UK English version, wherein Specter sounds like a cut-rate Bond villain rather than some nasally guy from the SCEA offices. Weirdly the whole series has an entirely different localisation and cast between the US and UK versions.

Ape Escape 3 is on PSN, and I bought it but remembered the voice acting being ear bleedingly bad. Turns out it's the PAL version which I had no idea they dubbed seperately. It took me like four levels before I finally figured out why every character was WAY more likeable than I remember. Somehow the accents didn't tip me off

Oh man, imagine a game with a little sign language box in the lower corner except it's running at 10FPS It's a total 21st Century thing tho, having to download a mod for a game to fix the framerate so you can understand the signs.

haveblue posted:You can pet the mouse with the controller and she responds Moss is the one VR game I’m really looking forward to. The demo is just amazing. My little moment with it was realizing that I could lean forward quite a bit sticking my head into the game, and look down the corridor of the first dungeon. From the normal vantage you can’t see that far, and a wall blocks your sight. It was kinda mind-blowing when I realized I could “peek” down the hall through a hole in the wall. I think with most VR games the motion sickness is going to be a limiter, so static games are probably going to help it gain a foothold. I love the thought of a Dark Souls in VR in the gameplay-style of Moss.

Hiveswap is surprisingly not sucky at all, especially given Andrew Hussie's tendency to dive headlong into his own anus and proclaim his discoveries there to be made of solid gold via some 24th-level chain of 4chan-style "irony." I especially have to give the developers credit for writing witty lines for drat near every item/weapon/location hotspot combination in the game. Also for all the blink-and-you-miss-it 90's references, like the random Street Shark action figure just standing on a shelf.

I have a question (possibly rhetorical) about VR: Wouldn't it be kind of cool, rather than have a first person viewpoint, to use it to make it look like you're playing with a super detailed live model set. Like, a fixed perspective camera over an isometric game, but you could move your head around and look at stuff from different angles and such? Also I will buy a VR headset and a pallet of dramamine when Open Morrowind gets VR support.

I love it when puzzle games surprise you by changing up their mechanics in unique ways. In A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build the way you initially solve puzzles is just making a snowman with three different sized snowballs. It gets harder due to the snow placement and multiple snowmen you have to make later on, but once you get 100% in the game a gate opens and you get the credits. However, once the credits are over, you find yourself in an alternate dimension where you can find the bottom pieces of every snowman you made which you can use to make a new snowman. However, the snowballs melt in this alternate dimension, so you need to re-solve three different puzzles to get the snowballs close enough to build the new one. If you are able to do this you get a creepy snowman which phases in and out all the clothing of the snowman you used to build it with.

A long while ago someone (probably BioEnchanted lol) was talking about the game "Get Even" and I recall them talking about the sound design and it just went on sale so picked it up. And they were spot on. The game feel real budget but men, the sound is fantastic. The crazy loving music, the ambient rantings of the loonies, it's all so loving weird but it adds a LOT to the game.

Yeah, that was me. Glad you're enjoying it. BTW Am I the only one who actually feels kind of bad for Ape Escape's Spectre? At the end of the first game I feel Spike really screwed up by offering to take Spectre back to the carnival, considering the entire reason his intelligence made him evil in the first place was bitterness from the lovely life he led there. Of course he never tells the heroes that, only the player sees his real self in the attract mode video - he's a brilliant mind doomed by poor communication. Especially because towards the end of the game he was almost starting to like Spike - the only reason Spike got into his lair and was in any position to save his friends was because he impressed Spectre on the roof of the TV Tower and Spectre wanted to play harder as a result, inviting him into his lair to rescue his friends and then chat. He didn't even try to mind control him straight away when they were face to face - he tried to talk Spike over to his side first, and only resorted to mind control when that failed, which at least implies a greater amount of respect. Still doing the post-game of the first one, just got the remaining coins/monkeys in the final 3 levels to go. Looking forward to seeing him in the sequels though when I'm done.

My brother got me a £20 gift card so I got a bunch of Xbox 360 games - been playing the original Transformers game, based off the first movie as I remember it being fun but never got very far. While the driving is wonky, the at-will transforming is quite satisfying, like "Oh, the next checkpoint is across that confusingly laid out dual-carriageway junction? gently caress that, robot mode and just jump across to the right branch, then back into vehicle mode after touching down for extra speed. It feels like playing the Hulk games, due to everything exploding around you and being able to climb anything you haven't exploded, but you can turn into a vehicle as well. It's pretty fun so far, currently at the second level so further than I got before.

Well, there are still the 360 versions that I can get on Amazon - are they the same games but slightly worse graphics, or is it as massive a difference between the Wii/PS2 and the 360/PS3 versions of Web of Shadows (Wii/PS2 got a stripped down garbage sidescroller while the PS3/360 got the real game)? Hell the shop near me even had 2 copies of Too Human, a game so infamously poorly thought out they never made sure they had the rights to the engine properly.

The 360/PS3 versions are the originals. The PC version was a port, which I thought was decent but some people had gripes about. There were also unrelated versions of WFC for the Wii and DS. One of the fun things about WFC is that it had co-op multiplayer, and just the mechanics of how it worked made it harder than single-player. See, in 1p, every level is you and two bots playing the three characters for that level. If a bot is knocked out of commission, they just go silent for a bit. You can totally solo it. If you're multiplayer, every human takes over one of the characters. And if a human is knocked out, there's a timer to revive them until the game ends. So it becomes more of a scramble to prop up your deadass teammate as well as fight the level. I don't play a lot of multiplayer anything, but I did the first half of the game with a couple other goons from BSS and I had a really great time. There's one level which is just a giant boss fight and it felt like a real achievement taking him out. In FoC, the individual levels are better, but they ditched the co-op.

Got quite far in, to Hoover Dam, but got annoyed at the fight where you have to wait for the allspark to shrink - when Megatron starts firing it all becomes a clusterfuck. May give it another go, but I have work tomorrow and don't want to go to bed annoyed. I have since read that the best strat for that stage is just keep moving and jumping in circles around the allspark so Megatron misses you, so I may give that a go over the weekend.

Licences for licenced games only last a certain number of years, Activision probably didn't think it was worth the money to renew the licenses. Weirdly it looks like most or all of their licenses went out around the same time, their Transformers games, their Deadpool game and Platinum's Korra game all disappeared around the same time. You couldn't really see licenses expire like this before digital distribution became a thing.
