I do get some weird sense of fun playing King's Field, I love the exploration and the sense of discovery, wish there were more modern games with a vibe like that. There's someone making a game that's very KF inspired (along with other inspirations like Arx Fatalis and Ultima Underworld) called Monomyth, but whether it will be good or even release is a mystery  King's Field 1 runs at like... 20 fps, except a good portion of the time it just straight up drops to the mid 10s, but at least it's not like King's Field 2 (KF 1 US) where sometimes it goes to 30, then drops to the 20 somethings and then to the mid 10s in the span of a couple of seconds... It's wildly inconsistent and I didn't beat it because it gave me headaches playing on an emulator. Good luck on the LP, and I hope you guys get to KF 4 cause I like that one the most, despite issues.

I found this video showing gameplay of a closed alpha last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNHDiTLlZXM Honestly it looks pretty alright in my opinion, here's hoping they keep working on it. I'll stop derailing the thread now though. I remember playing the Sword of Moonlight remake of KF1 and it ran well on Windows 10, but it feels... I don't know, weird? Off somehow? At least it runs well.

Yeah, the first two King's Field games are really bad about this, they straight up don't tell you what the equipment stats are or what items do so you have to use a guide or something. Not even the manual helps. King's Field 3, despite having an item description button, doesn't show you the equipment stats either so you have to open the stats menu too. Shadow Tower is much better about all of this, although it released much later than the first 3 KF games. It's also a more direct Souls series analogue.

Incredible how even though I beat this somewhat recently I don't recall the earth, water, etc seal stone as items at all. Also good thing you guys are progressing quickly cause when I played this I kept hugging the walls all the time searching for secret passages  Everytime I see any of the KF games I wonder what it would be like if they attempted a new one, but perhaps the only way it would be relevant would be to make a new one a VR game. King's Field and Echo Night would be a nice fit for VR imo, although I'm not sure how combat would be like in a KF VR game. Although the slowness of the movement and combat could still be maintained and kept as a nostalgic design choice and also as a way to avoid motion sickness

Tallgeese posted:All of the King's Field story is in the background materials released later. It doesn't make sense between the games without them, because it is full of retcons to force the games to make sense. Are the background materials only in Japanese? It would be cool to see them. King's Field has a lot of lore but I'd be damned if I understood any of it. There was a series of videos on YouTube that someone did explaining the lore of the series covering each game, but I think it mentions stuff we haven't seen yet, only in the next games.

Starting King's Field (2) and dying right at the beginning is pure FromSoft in a nutshell

FirstAidKite posted:Honestly I just like the tradition with the king's field games of at the beginning hiding a treasure chest with a shield in a secret room with a skeleton, an enemy that at the beginning can and will kill you easily KF4 has a treasure chest in a secret room with a skeleton as well in an area very near the beginning of the game, also you can just die if you step on a certain part of the floor right at the beginning. Shadow Tower is even more dickish cause you start at a very narrow platform and if you walk back or strafe in either direction you just die. From Software! Tallgeese posted:Man I have an itch to play KF4 again now. I like the atmosphere of 4 the most of all the KF games but goddamn if it isn't slow Big Scary Owl fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Minecart levels from DKC are cool imo, in spite of the fact that they're a nightmare for anyone who played the games as a kid. I don't remember a single cool sewer level from any game, but maybe there is

Double post but gently caress it I'll add to this post as I watch the video and find stuff to comment on (which may be rendered null and void later on in the video but let's go anyway): The weird lights thing in the sky is totally an emulator glitch. You can press F9 to change to software rendering and all of the visual glitches go away, but the internal resolution is going to be locked to the PS2's native resolution Durability is a thing in this too but I've never seen anything break in this game edit: gently caress i accidentally page sniped sorry Big Scary Owl fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Sep 22, 2020 |

Dewgy posted:Anyway, we're finally back into it! I think this game might be cursed, or maybe I might be cursed. Well you are carrying a cursed idol in the game OP hth  But with regards to the video itself, the thing that really sets the tone in the game (at least for me) for how hosed this place is isn't the foreboding skies, or the monsters running about, or the decrepit and abandoned buildings, it's that emaciated dog next to that girl  Audio's great now too!

Now that you guys finished this game I feel like I can finally post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T8nb45F-v8 No spoilers for either game, it's just Dark Souls 2 in low resolution first person with KF4 UI elements. It's uncanny how similar it looks to a KF game
