The last time I played a combat racing game was Jak X Combat Racing on PS2... and that was in 2015 because when the game launched in 2005 I didn't have a PS2 or knew anyone who had that game. Jak X had a really good handling for the vehicles but what I especially enjoyed was the fact that every button did something. It was certainly more complex than your average kart racer. I miss the time when Naughty Dog's fourth entry in any series was a racing game. Still waiting for Unkarted and The Last of Karts.
Run and gun levels were only added because some people complained that there can't be "just a boss rush game without anything else but boss fights" (they were wrong). Not that those levels were bad but bosses were the main focus of Cuphead so I'm glad DLC has only boss fights.
@sdelfin
I can agree, I've played much harder modern games too. I enjoyed the original Cuphead a lot and spent a good 8 hours playing with my Gamecube controller. Meanwhile a friend of mine complained that the game was too short and completed Cuphead in 2 hours with a keayboard.
If I had a set of Dragon Balls, I would ask all NFT's erased from the face of Earth. Or maybe just asking for world peace would achieve the same thing.
I'm glad more gaming communities are making their own Nintendo Direct style broadcasts. I'd still like to see Mother 3 get an official release but I'm happy for having the original japanese version and a fan translated reproduction cartidge on my videogame shelf.
The first non-Nintendo Direct one I saw was Rivals of Aether Direct in 2018 right after a Smash Bros tournament.
I guess the rarest game in my collection is F-Zero X Expansion Kit for N64DD. It's such a shame this gem with an awesome 3D track editor was never released in the west and propably never will. But hey, emulators, am I right?
@smithyo Mother 3 is one of my favourite games ever and also the first in the series I played. Easily a 9,5/10 game for me. I later played 1 and 2 and unfortunately, those experiences were more like 5/10 and 7/10.
I'd like to see another platform fighter in future EVO events. We are getting more of them and while I doubt any of them will ever rival Smash Bros in sales numbers, it would be interesting to see others get that honor.
@GraphicJon Really? Maybe it's time to sell my copy of it. I've been a huge JoJo manga and anime fan since 2012 but All-Star Battle just wasn't my thing.
Any company that wants to burn the Earth with NFT and mistreating their employees can crumble for all I care. I just wish these people get employed by a better company.
I wonder how many people complaining here have never played this game. It's an amazing co-op experience. I personally would have chosen Metroid Dread but I also can't wait to see the next co-op only game by this studio.
@clianvXAi The game only restricts your movement in certain places. You visit previous areas a lot and there would be an overwhelming amount of places you could go to when progressing in the story. Of course you can gather a lot of optional upgrades along the way and the game really opens up once you have all the abilities.
I didn't use markers at all so no chance for error screen. I'm so glad this game doesn't underestimate players skills. Check points are plentiful and the game pushes you to do better.
1. Ace Attorney Investigations 2 Haven't played Great Ace Attorney yet. Never really got the hype for Trials and Tribulations, I hate the main villain (and not in a good way). AA1 and AA6 are my favourites from the main series.
I just hope this becomes big enough for a sequel. We need more platform fighters with bigger IP in it, not just indie ones. I know it's hard to compete with Smash Bros' 20 year history, a game that has characters from the last 40 YEARS! I'm glad that Ludosity got a chance to work with these characters and I'm excited to play this myself.
You forgot to mention the fact that this is developed by the creators of Slap City, a great indie platform fighter. This game will have wavedashing and rollback netcode. It's gonna be gooood.
Funny, just recently I played a version of Project-M that had Sephiroth in it. It'll be interesting to compare how it plays, fan-made Ridley had a lot of similarities to the Ultimate one.
