Is Super Hot coming out for PS4 or did I make that up in my mind??

Also good morning March games thread.

Superhot's part of the ID@Xbox program, so I wouldn't expect a PS4 version to be announced for quite a while yet.

I wish Telltale would go back to point and click adventure games instead of Choice-Based Dramatic QTE Thingers.

I wish Telltale would either hire better animators or give their current animation team more time and money. Nearly every time I see a clip from one of their games the character movement seems kind of stiff and rushed.

Not officially, but someone reverse-engineered the hell out of it and ported it back to the PC.

You'll need a ROM file, though.

On the plus side, Firewatch's seeking volunteer localization might result in one language's script just being incredibly offensive nonsense to get the developers in trouble, like that time one of the Minecraft translations replaced all the in-game text with racial slurs.

what's interesting about VII's localization? I always heard it was just subpar.

It was from that era before Square gave even the slightest poo poo about localization, so it was all translated by one guy, without an editor, in Ｓｈｉｆｔ－ＪＩＳ so a spellchecker couldn't be used. The end results are charmingly wonky.

FF7 went on to sell way better outside of Japan than the SNES-era games, convincing Square to spend more time, money and effort on building up a proper localization department with the right tools and methodologies. This interview on the subject is worth reading if you're interested in such things.

The Shiny Matrix games were so... weird. They were ambitious in their attempts to replicate the feel of the movies in original scenes, and they did some impressive technological stuff like having bumpmapping and lots of Agent Smith clones on a PS2... but the end result was just super-lacking.

Actually, over-ambition and under-delivering was a general theme of Matrix game adaptions. Boy, the stories I could probably prod a friend of mine into telling about The Matrix Online...

I should probably watch that trilogy again through the eyes of a bitter adult. I remember loving the first film, liking the second, and just fast-forwarding the third to the big Smith fight at the end.

Will ever an Eternal Darkness HD come out? For I have never played the game...

Silicon Knights loving cratered with its following two projects (Too Human and X-Men Destiny), lost a lawsuit against Epic for ripping off their engine, failed twice to fund Kickstarters for a spiritual successor, and had one of their creative leads get arrested on child porn charges before finally rolling over and declaring bankruptcy. The odds of anything Eternal Darkness related ever happening again are frankly non-existent.

Chicago's been mentioned a whole bunch throughout the Fallouts, they were teasing at it pretty hard in New Vegas, and it seems like the last iconic American city not to be featured.

Fallout Tactics was set around, but not inside, the ruins of Chicago, which was apparently pretty much completely destroyed in the nuclear exchange. The various references to the Brotherhood of Steel being in the midwest in FO3 onwards are a reference to that game.

Insane person playing Chrono Trigger: What the gently caress are they calling him "Frog-san" or "Frog-kun," how exactly are they addressing him, I can't figure out from context how the characters relate to and interact with him!

Legends of Localization is a really cool site by a professional translator/localizer, where he details what changed in classic games and why. His FF4 section compares every translation of that game, including a crappy fan-translation, so it's sort of fun to see how different methods and levels of professionalism handled things.

Treasure isn't doing much of anything anymore, sadly. Their last original project (Gaist Crusher) doesn't seem to have done very well at all, their revolving-door policy means their staff are kind of scattered all over the Japanese games industry, and they don't really have the IP rights to port very many of their games to other platforms.

drat shame, really.

I'm not going to judge anyone else for their spending habits I just think it's pretty ludicrous to charge people more than a dollar or two at most non-sale price for 15-20 year old games with no additional content beyond a simple 3D job.

M2's Sega 3D Classics have tons of work put into them, even in just making them run nicely on a 3DS in stereoscopic 3D. They also actually do have extra content, although the Megadrive ones often don't have as much added as the arcade ones, for various reasons. Sometimes it's just cheat modes so people with time-blunted reflexes can see the whole game and the ending, sometimes it's whole special rearranged game modes with new music and bosses.

I didn't know that they're actually trying with the new ones, the old 3d remasters just seemed like adding 3d, calling it a day and then charging anywhere from five to ten dollars for something I can pick up at a flea market for pennies. Still though, as a value judgement I still don't really see myself dropping that kind of money on super old titles in the age of the app store game.

The Nintendo ones by Arika that came out at launch are pretty lame. I mean, poo poo, 3D Urban Champion.

The Sega ones are super-good. Here's a collection of lengthy developer interviews that go into everything that was done and what new stuff was added.

To use the above-mentioned examples:

3D Streets of Rage 2 adds a "Relay Mode" where you change character every time you lose a life (you select the order the four characters appear in), a "Casual Mode" where enemies die when they get knocked over, an optional CRT filter, the ability to choose between the US and Japanese versions of the game, and local Wifi multiplayer.

3D Gunstar Heroes adds an extra button to switch between Free and Fixed modes instead of having to commit to either for the entire game, a "Gunslinger Mode" where you can switch between all the weapons with the shoulder buttons, a "Mega Life Mode" that lets you start each stage with twice the normal amount of health, the ability to choose between the US and Japanese versions of the game, and local Wifi multiplayer.
