Wait i don't understand... so what are we to expect here? What the hell is Sonic rolled up with Total War and Crazy Taxi supposed to look like?! Are there any comparable metaverse thingies in gaming that might give me an idea of what this is supposed to be?!
This game doesn't just look good, it looks great! I'm really impressed by the graphics and would say it's one of the best looking games I've played on Switch.
Another Metroidvania?!?!??!?! ANOTHER ONE???!! No i'm kidding, keep em coming, this looks great and i can't ever have too many solid 2d platformers with fun combat <3
@BloodNinja Apparently because you're killing a few baby zombies at some point. At least that's what a friend told me yesterday when i asked him and i mean, that definitely would be stuff that Germany's rating board has an issue with
The demo was nice but it felt like it's one of those games stripping a random common aspect out in the hopes of making it more unique. As the description says, you don't actually kill any enemies, it's got its "unique physics-driven combat" but all that turned out to be in the demo was pushing the enemies away awkwardly. It felt unsatisfying. Maybe that changes in the later game. Because if you could actually yeet your foes, that would be quite fun. But even then...let's say you smash them against a wall - and nothing happens? Idk, i'll have to see about this.
There is no Dream Code unfortunately - quote from the Twitter account after being asked for the code: "Not for this build unfortunately. It was just a one off build on my second switch"
You know, if a project isn't that successful, you can deal with not being credited for it more easily. That's why people might be speaking up about it now that it's popular, nothing wrong with that. It also just makes it more upsetting to those that worked on it, to see that something they helped create is becoming popular.
And yeah workplaces are stressful. That's pointing out another issue though, not excusing it. And as somebody before me already said - this could also just have been the tipping point in people's very stressful lifes. Maybe the previous games weren't as stressful to make.
@CactusMan What about carbohydration? I was always wondering if that does something to your teeth as well. (Thank you for watching out for this community's teeth <3)
Always funny to see how different the perceptions are. This direct was really lackluster for me. Kirby 3D Platformer and Wreckfest, hell yeah, but the rest...eh. The Indie World that happened recently though was one of the best ones ever. If there wouldn't have been that other one where Ori got shadowdropped, i would say it was the best presentation i ever watched...but you know...Ori <3. Still though, even if it left me disappointed, it's great to see that so many are happy with this Direct!
@Kang81 More than i hope that this game turns out good, i hope everything turns out okay for you :/. I hope you're doing alright. And if not, that's perfectly fine and valid too!
@Shambo While i love Burnout Paradise, i gotta say it was really frustrating whenever it told me to go left or right when i was just at the height of that very turn. Also, if the traffic bugs you, go for a car with the Crash type boost, one that has it maxed out. You can't crash from traffic with those, they'll just push the traffic away (except for heavier vehicles like the occassional bus).
@CharlieGirl You might still enjoy it, if you're in racing games for the carnage! π
@CharlieGirl Just thought you should know, this game is not like Burnout in terms of speed. The cars are much heavier and the handling is different. But Burnout and Flatout are my favorite racing game series, both because of the destruction - and this game is by the makers of the Flatout series! So while not as fast-paced, i absolutely want to get this game! And with the soft-body physics implemented in this game, the carnage should be better than ever!
I never tried Wreckfest so far. But i was hoping for a Switch port even though it seemed impossible, since the soft-body physics are surely pretty intensive to process.
Also i love the references to the Mario movie reveal π. It's so cool to see THQ Nordic doing so much for the Switch!
@Kiwi_Unlimited Now that you say it...i saw the movie when i was like 12 or so. Actually thinking about how he was, i can see him being sort of obnoxious. But i mean, he did really care for the girl he wanted to date, so i guess that's good π. But yeah, to really be able to judge, i should watch the movie again.
Nice to see an article about my favorite racing game, but i'm a bit bummed because i thought there was another Burnout game coming to Switch when i saw the image for the article π
I am super excited for this game but one thing i don't really understand. Some of the textures and graphics overall look great and up to what the Switch can do, while others look like they're coming from the N64/Gamecube-era. I don't know if that is intentional, it just looks a little all over the place judging from the screenshots. Regardless, i will definitely get this, because i love the overall look of it.
I think it's always underestimated how much a fitting soundtrack supports the presentation. It says "perfectly sci-fi retro music" but it's an orchestral score (maybe they mean in-game, but that should still translate to the trailer as well). Thinking about redoing the music just for fun and then asking them if they want it π . If not i still got some more stuff to add to the portfolio i wanna create for future applications.
Anyway, the gameplay looks solid and i like the look of it!
@somnambulance Thank you so so much man! And yeah no, i don't think lofi is a "youth thing" either, it's just that the youth is more exposed to new musical trends so they happen to be the majority of listeners. My mother loves some of my lofi music π.
I mean if there ever was a time to mention my own Lofi project, now would be it π . It's "Cats In Bed" and it's linked in my profile, in case you wanna check it out π. My friend and i appreciate every listen, it's still a super small project.
Aaaanyway, I'm curious to try the game out. If it's music from the game i wonder if it really has that much lofi in it π.
I definitely want to try this because i loved Boulder Dash as a kid (well i played "Digger", idk if it's just a different name or a different game) but man this does look kinda awful. What person designs these creepy looking kids and what person goes "yep, that's what i want my protagonist to look like"
@Heavyarms55 The Minecraft modding community is shutting down? I'm having a hard time believing that, but maybe you know more than i do (i'm not into the Minecraft modding scene, so i'm genuinely curious where you're coming from)
EDIT: And it's a remaster, are you kidding me?!! I would love if they added co-op too. As far as i remember there wasn't any and my friend and i just decided not to shoot each other and instead work together, haha.
EDIT 2: "is bringing its ten thousand genre prefixes." hahahaha π
EDIT 3: I hope there will be gyro aiming, this game needs it if you wanna be able to stand a chance.
Sorry for all the edits, just more evidence that i'm damn excited about this!
