3DS version of first 6 MegaMans sounds fucking AWESOME!!! Do the same with X plz

Fignuts 06-09-2015 06:25 PM

Aren't they all available on the virtual console anyway?

I dunno, I've played all 6 so many times already that I can't justify paying for them again.

Only played X1-3 though, so I'd get an X collection.

The Zero games are vastly underappreciated as well.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2015 05:28 AM

Good job co-op isn't a focus on this one. Not like you have 3 AI characters if you're playing single player.

Wait, fuck, you totally do.

They've tried to offset it by saying that you don't need XBox Live Gold for co-op online, but that's like saying "We have a product for those people who want to play co-op in the same room, it's called buying a second XBox One".

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2015 07:43 AM

I now wanna know the full extent or lack thereof in regard to splitscreen. Splitscreen Halo is first and final for me and my boys and if this game pulls the same 1plyr per screen bullshit others do it may be a deal breaker. Destiny and Battlefield is one thing, Halo must allow me to play with four guys in offline and online games. All of us.

What the fuck is up with this generation?

From December:

However, GameInformer is saying that there is 0 split-screen for the campaign, so that's just standard MP.

On the plus side, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 IS having 2 player split screen campaign at least.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2015 08:18 AM

Good for CoD players.

This is almost a deal breaker for me. Sadly, the pathetic limitation of modern couch multiplayer the last two generations has prepared me for this.

I demand answers, though. Why is Halo 5 not able to do something every other Halo did with one hand behind it's back. Was it a weakness of the devs? The Xbox One? Who's to blame for this?

Late Night News Edition:
 
Armature Studio which is handling the Wii U and Vita ports of Bloodstained stated they are working on getting the Unreal Engine 4 to run on both platforms. The plan is to get the customized engine to work on those platforms and then release the source code for free so that other developers can port their UE4 games to both platforms.

Only downside is the source code won't get released until some time after the game's release (early 2017).

Quote:

“Hi Bloodstained backers - Armature here with another update. It turns out that a people have shown a ton of interest in our plan to port UE4 to the WiiU and PS Vita. Since they're not officially supported platforms, it's going to be a lot of work to get Bloodstained and UE4 on these platforms, but we are up to the challenge.

“Since the community got these platforms off the ground, we figure that it's best to let the community have them back when we're done. As a result, after the release of Bloodstained we will share, for free, the UE4 WiiU and Vita code with any developer authorized to develop on those platforms! Thank you all very much for this opportunity!”

I think since everyone is having a conference this year, some people did their announcements to stand out as there's going to be a lot to take in over the few days.

Think Sony/MS/Nintendo will have saved some at least. Nintendo Store is teasing that there will be 2 unannounced games playable in store during E3.

Halo franchise development director Frank O’Connor briefly addressed the change on the NeoGAF message board, part of a thread in which people were complaining about the change.

“It’s a bummer but 60fps had to take precedence,” said O’Connor. “It’s not just aesthetics- the entire simulation is built on that framerate.”

Occulus had an event today. Will be out early 2016 with an XBox controller and some hand tracking controllers coming later. Can also play XB1 games, but in a stupid virtual living room.

Worst news is that some PC games are Occulus exclusive for VR, so you have to buy into their bullshit instead of something like the HTC Vive. Split the user base before it begins.

The answer is some (a lot) of games will be cock blocked by publishers.

You think Sony will let Capcom let Microsoft add SF4 after all the hoopla about Ultra SF4 being PS4 exclusive? Some games are still never going to happen.

If anyone was interested in playing Shenmue I and/or II because of Shenmue III's announcement, now is not a good time to do so. Prices for both at least on Amazon spiked big since III's announcement.

Shenmue I spiked by around 200-250% ($90-$100 average right now) while II spiked by around $60-$70 on average.

On the flip side, best time to sell either game and make some good money.

Likely the same on eBay and other online retailers/auction places.

I remember someone here (Drakul?) really wanting Constructor and not wanting to just download it.

Constructor HD is coming out amazingly.

PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Pretty cheap, too, even from GAME. I can't find any videos or images, just box art.

Yeah, I heard there was an E3 discount code for Game so I was looking at pre-orders and I just saw the box. End of August apparently.

Drakul 06-26-2015 01:26 PM

Not a good sign that there is no footage just two months from release and the box art looks kind od dark. Hope it keeps it's fun Britishness to it.

They did the same thing with Putty Squad and it turned out OKish. I think they're just going to slap slightly higher resolution assets on the original and call it a day.

Drakul 06-26-2015 02:21 PM

I was super excited when I first read your post but, thinking about it after seeing boxart, I'm imagining it being updated.
Just the character designs being more modern. Replacing the fat bald thugs with hoodies, the posh snobs being thin, attractive "celebs" etc.

Considering how often they do seem to get copied, it's probably best for them if they do keep it secret.

Need an open world star wars game where you play as Boba Fett hunting down bounties.

Who in the actual fuck would not pay money to play that.

The MEGATON announcement?
Smash Bros?

Shovel Knights the most fan requested character, Wii U got the game almost a year early, it's a MEGATON announcement and it's not what we think, meaning it's not just a Nintendo themed boss.

road doggy dogg 07-01-2015 11:13 AM

all awesome news... shovel knight so good


would buy the shit out of a shovel knight amiibo :'(

Drakul 07-01-2015 11:28 AM

So would I.

Worth mentioning, in regards to Shovel Knight and Smash. Lucas, Roy, Mewtwo and Ryu were NOT added as a result of the fan poll. The fan characters are still to come. The only reason I can imagine Shovel Knight not getting in Smash, as it seems like almost anything can happen these days,is the fact he isn't a huge deal in Japan, as far as I'm aware.
I feel if a character is huge in Japan but unknown in the west, they are still viable but if a character is huge in the west but virtually unknown in Japan, they are automatically extremely unlikely to make it.

road doggy dogg 07-01-2015 11:37 AM

I always pictured Nintendo as a company that was all JAPAN #1 first but also saw America as a place where a bunch of really stupid people are incredibly eager to part with their money, so if something were popular over here they would milk it because they know dumb Americans would eat it right up

based on nothing really

Drakul 07-01-2015 12:29 PM

When Nintendo puts out a Nintendo Direct and someone speaks Japanese, Europe gets it in Japanese with subtitles while America gets it dubbed over with an American voice.
Refrences to Japan, like rice balls, become western things like sandwiches in the US.
Kirby is always tough and angry on American box art because they don't think you'll buy it if he looks cute and happy.
The SNES got a makeover in the US, becoming blocky and dull because they thought you'd not want it if it was curvy and colourful.

Nintendo seems to think very little of Americans, in my opinion. Everything has to be "cool" and as American as possible as if anything that isn't will terrify you.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2015 12:51 PM

Nintendo of Europe doesn't have its own Treehouse crew?

That's the group who does the Direct episodes and translation stuff here. Got promoted in recent years to handle their E3 shows.

Drakul 07-01-2015 01:45 PM

Not really. In Directs, we get Iwata and some other Japanese guys I can't recall the name of.
We have a localisation team but that seems to be more for translation. We get a mix of Japanese stuff (The Japanese SNES model) and American stuff (American spelling in a lot of games, the Kirby boxart thing)

road doggy dogg 07-01-2015 01:50 PM

but do you get REGGIE

The Rogerer 07-01-2015 01:53 PM

"duuuuhhh what's a riceball"

- An American

Drakul 07-01-2015 01:54 PM

Of course. Reggie crosses oceans.
