What is this rhythm stuff people are talking about with Rayman? I've seen a video where they said some levels will be timed to music but from some people's complaints I gathered they were putting in full blown Parappa style Simon-says levels. Watching footage from PAX, the game looks even more absurd than Origins with one area being a giant rotating maze with spikes everywhere. e: Are they talking about Michel Ancel and the "musical maps?" They're the auto-scrolling levels you see in every platformer except every action you take adds to the musical theme. al-azad fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Sep 16, 2012 |

Bland posted:The complaining was sparked by claims from a developer that a "good portion" of the single player campaign of Rayman Legends would be controlling Murphy (pushing platforms and other rather mundane activities) whilst watching an AI Rayman do the platforming. The concept of the musical levels themselves is not something I've seen people get annoyed by If that's the case that's indeed horrible but every video and playable version of the game at PAX and Gamescom has been player controlled. I wondered what they would do in single-player with the levels where you need Murphy like moving the shield but hopefully they don't make the awful decision of punishing people who don't have a friend. Just give me an AI Murphy instead.

Quest For Glory II posted:And it wasn't just a random developer, it was the lead game designer. If this is the case, especially considering traditional levels have been the only ones demonstrated to the media, reviewers are going to eat the game alive. I hope whatever Ancel said was a misunderstanding because no interview or media demonstration has mentioned this until now.

LeeDless posted:I don't understand this, how could a console possibly need a gigabyte for it's operating system? Windows 7 doesn't even use that much. Multi-tasking. Reggie has said you can minimize the game you're playing and do other poo poo unlike the current consoles which require you to exit a program before opening another. So you can play your game, browse the store, and look up a video walkthrough without exiting anything.

Chaltab posted:What are the current rumors? Even to be proportional to the difference between Wii and the rest of 7th gen, they'd have to have at least 5GB. At that point it's diminishing returns because no game yet created has used that much RAM, even on PCs where configurations with 16GB are common on high-end gaming machines. Crytek said they would like to see 8gb next console cycle. I definitely believe RAM is the most crippling factor in consoles but that's pretty overkill for a dedicated system.

Policenaut posted:Yeah, pre-announcement console stuff can be some of the most outlandish poo poo. Anyone remember when people were saying PS3 would have "anti-used game tech" that would burn a serial code into your Blu-ray disc so it could only be recognized by that console? Well, Sony seems to have refocused these rumors onto the Vita because they're trying their damned hardest to piss off everyone who owns it.

Bobnumerotres posted:^^^^^^ Huh? Hmm, I don't recall anyone ever vocally giving a poo poo about Steam. Green Man Gaming has XCOM for 10% off while Steam is full price and there's no bad blood between retail or digital stores. And every (smart) retailer like Gamestop and Amazon's response has been to open their own digital store (hell, Gamestop carries Steam cards despite owning a competing service Impulse). And now they have their own tablets, app stores, and streaming services of their own. You either keep up with the competition or die.

You think that was jarring? Ladies and gentlemen, Bowser's death in Mario's Missing. Having played this game right after playing World, I was shocked by how bad it was and the rather violent ending.

Oh man. The Metroid FDS theme playing at the gate to the Metroid attraction. What is this beautiful feeling welling in my chest? Nintendo just make another 2D Metroid like Zero Mission, god drat.

I have to say, Miiverse is a really great idea. It's like Twitter for your games. I can't wait to see some creative devs use the program in more meta ways like an adventure game that encourages people to share photos and map annotations. I also like the funny artists making detailed sketches instead of text posts. e: I wish there was a way on real forums to tell if someone has actually played a game or not. al-azad fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Nov 19, 2012 |

Static Rook posted:Isn't there supposed to be a little icon by their name if they've played it? I know something like that was on one of the Miiverse start-up screens but I can't find it anymore. Yes, Miiverse has an icon that tells you if someone has played the game they're talking about. I wish this feature magically extended to everything on the internet, though.
