Re: Talking Point: Is It Time For Another Side-Scrolling Zelda Game?

BigRadical

I’d love another 2d Zelda game, but I would want it in 8-bit style, like Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, with some metroidvania-like traversal.

I’m not too big a fan of the chibi style used in the new top-down games, so I’d like a new art style. Maybe something darker, yet still reminiscent of Zelda2.

Re: Fear Not, Sonic Team Plans To Support Last-Gen Consoles For A While

BigRadical

That’s great! There are so many games on PS/XBO that aren’t compatible with last-gen, yet some are remasters of games from the late 90s. Like the MGS collection isn’t available for PS4/XOne, but I could get them on Switch.

Being able to upgrade/downgrade graphics to have it work on a system, was a big deal this gen. And yet, Sony/MS are pretending like remasters of 90s games can’t scale down to work on a PS4/XOne.

Thank god for the Switch.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Dominates As PS5 Price Hike Kills Momentum

BigRadical

Sony is tumbling around the gaming market with no clue about what they should be doing. That’s crazy to me.

Price hiking, going the “Pro” mid-gen route again, making that god awful expensive battle royale that they completely shut down. They’re confused about their role and flailing wildly.

Simply put, those are bad sales numbers all-around. The grimdark titles Sony kicked off during PS3 have funneled them down this path. I own a PS4, and am not planning on getting another Sony console, there’s no reason to.

Re: Zelda Timeline Featuring Breath Of The Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Spotted

BigRadical

This is fine. I like the existence of the timeline, but for different reasons. Connecting them all together via some plot, is not what I’m interested in, and Nintendo hasn’t been pushing that either.

I see it as more of a way to place the game releases in a loose story order. The first two are in the Decline era. I think that’s fun. Nintendo hasn’t come out with some info dump trying to explain why, they just placed it there and moved on to the next thing.

Now the possible movie/tv show? That’ll probably over-explain everything lol

Re: Final Fantasy Creator Isn't Interested In Revisiting The Franchise

BigRadical

FFXIV did a very good job of maintaining the lore from the Final Fantasy games he worked on, so I can totally see why he wouldn’t want to go back.

That franchise has become so mainstream, it would be a nightmare to direct, with too many boardroom producers eager to turn it into Game of Thrones (see: FFXVI) or whatever hot show was around during their long dev cycles.

The truly sad thing for me, is that we won’t get more of Last Story. I really enjoyed the combat in that game and was interested to see where they’d take it. But that’s okay, looking forward to Fantasian and the chance of a console comeback for Mistwalker.

Re: Surprise! Shovel Knight's Original Adventure Is Getting The Deluxe Treatment

BigRadical

They said why they’re enhancing it in the article. It isn’t like you have to burn your original edition or Treasure Trove, it’s just a super-remixed updated version.

I’ll be getting it, mixing up cheat codes for a custom experience sounds like fun.

Also, making games isn’t easy. A lot of comments here read like football fans who can’t play football. You don’t actually know anything lol.

Re: 2004 Satoru Iwata Interview Has Been Remastered And Presented In Full

BigRadical

Awesome, I just picked up a book on him called “Ask Iwata” last week so this’ll be nice to watch alongside that.

Practical application and development will always win over excessive bloat. The BigTwo now basically have a PC architecture, there isn’t much difference between them other than build, and the games are getting so massive it’s common for most of them to have a long patch list. That translates to devs putting in more work on a game after it’s already released…devs who are already overworked from crunch time.
