what's going to happen is you're going to get a new fightgame IP where the assumption of 10f of input lag is built into the design considerations for the game

Isn't that how Weaponlord was developed? With the expectation that people would play via dialup internet.

What I'm saying is bring back Weaponlord.

New Weaponlord would be an instant buy for me, but Samsho probably fill that gap close enough. My only experience with Weaponlord is seeing it in magazines and renting it one time and feeling like I had no idea how to do anything for the few days I had it but the graphics were cool.

It's been a long time since I've played a SamSho game. Did they always have that much blood? I don't remember any blood at all in the older games.

In 5s if you win with a counterhit your opponent splits in half and erupts into a fountain of blood that stains your character's clothes and body red

They did but it wasn't like an MK style thing where the whole game just has it happening constantly for no reason. Also the 16-bit console releases probably removed it all.

I had no idea what this was until I looked it up and apparently I bought this forever ago on my PS3 except it's called "Dark Awake: The King Has No Name".

Me and my friends had an awesome time with it but I'm sure it horrifyingly broken with people who actually know what they are doing.

Hell yes, I’d buy a new Weaponlord sight-unseen.

Wasn’t Weaponlord a big inspiration for Soul Edge/Soul Calibur’s weapon combat?

Samurai Shodown was always super bloody and you can cut off limbs in a couple of the later games too. SNK's games were quite bloody in general compared to most fighting games, just not Mortal Kombat levels and it was always cartoony enough that no one cared much. Plus by the time they were in the US the blood would often be removed for various releases. But even ones you wouldn't immediately expect like Real Bout FF or the first few King of Fighters games have quite a bit depending on the move being done.

But in Samurai Shodown you could cut people in half too it was just way more stylish looking. They even did sprites for decapitations and stuff as early as Samurai Shodown 3 but IIRC they only got used in 5 Special and then got censored out of every other version of that game. But 3 still had awesome little combos you could finish people off with where they'd fall over and their blood would spray out and cover the winning character's sprite. :black101:

Absolutely, also note the name, "Weaponlord," Soul Edge has a mode (and in later games there's a character) called "Edge Master." :D

Why do they always do this? Do they get paid by Sony/MS to not release it or does it just take a long time to make a PC port? I thought the Unreal engine was supposed to be really easy to port things with.

They're probably outsourcing those versions, just as they did for KOF & Heroines on PC/Switch.

Heroines ran like poo poo on Switch, by the way.

Pro is an amazing name!
Always relink this article because Weaponlord is a cool story about a project that was killed by its own ambition:

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/forging-weaponlord/1100-6409025/

Ultimately it has a happy ending because Namco took inspiration and made Soul Edge, and James Goddard went on to make modern KI.
