I mean even the new characters. I love Captain Marvel and Gamora as characters, but in terms of a fighting game, there are so many more interesting power sets out tnere to choose from.

Kalyx triaD 08-10-2017 04:15 AM

I assumed they would have added Ms Marvel since her powers are very 'Capcom-y' but I guess we don't know all the DLC characters yet.

I'll say this: Aside from Akuma they really shouldn't put any MvC3 oldies in as DLC. It will be a disaster akin to SFxT from a public image standpoint. They have to be all new.

Fignuts 08-10-2017 05:10 AM

Honestly, if the game is full of reused assets and characters with boring power sets, and then they release really cool interesting characters as dlc, then fuck them. Already looks that way with Black Panther and Sigma being DLC.

I think the park and one piece of Zelda art doesn't mean it may have been visual inspiration. Myamoto never mentioned any American parks as inspiration for Zelda. Mostly his time wandering the countryside as a kid, really.

Fignuts 08-24-2017 07:38 PM

I think the wandering through forests as kid was the inspiration for the gameplay, so I could still see the Wyoming Park being a visual inspiration.

Kalyx triaD 08-24-2017 09:07 PM

Large plains, forests, a river curving into the horizon, with ominous mountains in the background isn't a Wyoming Park thing. It looks really accurate (to that concept art of that angle) but it seems more a really cool coincidence. There's likely other areas like this at certain angles.

Extreme Angle 08-25-2017 12:24 PM

It does the job in a basic way and has enough customisation to be great, but if you use things that don't call the GPU in Direct 3D, it won't work. Like not sure about Fire Pro, but I can't record Wrestling Revolution.

OBS and XSplit are great, just personal preference on either of those. They're designed to stream, but you can just point it to a window to record and do all the streaming overlays and shit if you want, then point it to do a local record to file instead of streaming to Twitch etc.

Thanks for correcting Fignuts on the pronouns. It's cool if people slip up now and then, so long as it's not forever or intentional.

Also, friendly heads up. Never refer to a trans person as "it". It's considered pretty offensive to call anyone "it", trans or otherwise. Especially bad for trans people as it's used in a discriminatory way.
If you're ever unsure, just say "they" as it's neutral.

Btw I think you'll find being Scottish is always relevant.

Oh my fucking god. In South Park the Fractured But Whole, when creating your character, the difficulty slider and skin colour selection are the same thing. The darker, the more difficult. Cartman actually explains "This doesn't actually affect combat difficulty, just every other aspect of your whole life"

Yeah, it seems pretty cool a game.

Super heroes are much more appealing than LotR type stuff. To me, anyway. A big reason I never picked up TSoT despite it looking pretty good.
I've got my eye on this.

Gearbox basically calling it quits on Battleborn with the next update to be the last for the game. Servers for multiplayer won't be going away any time soon but the dev team pretty much has moved on to other things now.

Game itself was released on May 2016 but to abysmal sales and by the summer was basically dead in terms of playerbase on PC. Not even going free-to-play did much to boost its struggles. Also probably didn't help it was released around the same window as Overwatch which demolished it in sales and interest.

Looks cool but where would the gameplay come from if things can be automated and everything is just one button?
Still, might be fun to mess around with. I've got a friend who button mashes in fighting games because they find the controls a bit much. Would be cool having something to play with them. Not that it matter because it's not out on the Xbox One or Switch.

Some of the animations looked pretty close to SFIV animations. At 0:42 it's a tweaked SPD, at 0:55 it's Kens Ultra Shoryuken, at 1:30 the rock guys splash looked like Zangiefs.

Kalyx triaD 09-25-2017 12:40 PM

It's not on auto. You still have to use every strategy other fighting games have. That rock guy dude? Imagine playing Zangief for all the same except for needing to do 360s. There's lots of videos where people are eating crow saying how actually smooth and engaging the combat is.

Also David Sirlin who designed this (and also head of SSF2HDR development) is open about loving SF and was very deliberate using moves from it.

The on-going voice actors strike with the gamin industry is rumored to be ending soon after a tentative agreement was reached with the gaming companies involved in the strike. Lasted for around 11 months which ended up being the longest in SAG history.

Voice actors didn't get a bonus system based on sales as one of their demands but did get scaling pay increases based on recordings done. Also got concessions for less jam packed recording sessions being done to reduce vocal stress and health issues.

Sony finally getting on the ball with the PS+ free games. Just Cause 3 last month, MGS5 this month.

About time we started getting $60 games every month instead of every 6 months or so.

#BROKEN Hasney 09-28-2017 09:37 AM

I mean, it makes sense. PS4 is about as old as PS3 was when Plus launched.

I prefer the launch day indies myself though. MGSV has been as low as £5 and i already own it, so the value is lower than an indie game to me. It's not a $60 game anymore.
