Re: Panzer Dragoon II Zwei: Remake Takes Flight This Year

mosaical_spirit

Zwei is imo one of the best rail shooters ever made! My concern would be that is it's special because so many factors and that's what they have to nail. In the first remake, until the various patches, they didn't get the feeling of the game right. Zwei is an experience so that's what they should focus on. Things like the animation and how the sound compliments this is what makes it so amazing. The graphics in the original had a gritty feel, post apocalyptic yet stylised to fit the world design. Yes they need to get performance right, but they could easily kill the atmosphere with the choice of colour etc. I don't envy them, this is a big undertaking.

Saga... sheesh, get Zwei right then I'll be pumped. Otherwise I'd rather keep the legend in history....

Re: Project CARS 2 Creative Director Loves Nintendo Switch, But Don't Expect A Port

@kobashi100 because they can't even create their own FZero lol! I have no doubt that they could but I think it's unrealistic for us hardcore Nintendo fans to expect them to deliver their major franchises (Which they don't do enough anyway..) AND come up with a genre that they haven't tackled. They need to partner better and use that as a way of filling these gaps. This whole 'The Switch doesn't have x/y/z so a game isn't possible' isn't entirely accurate. Older console generations have had great driving sims without these features, so there is no reason why they cannot do them. Just make the best game in that genre that you can with the hardware and peripherals you have and you can pretty much guarantee that it will sell on the platform. I think it's just an excuse... The 3DS has some phenomenal games that some people would say shouldn't have even been attempted, yet it has such a rich and diverse software portfolio... I hope a Nindie picks up this idea and goes for it!

Well forgetting all of that for a moment... we need a developer to step up and build a realistic racing car game for the Switch. If you can build games as good as Gran Turismo and Forza on PS3 and X360, no one can tell me that the Switch is not capable of having an amazing racing sim! Get to grips with the machine, use the obvious power that it has and you can build an amazing game! It's a gap in the games being built for the machine so someone should see the lightbulb blinking above their head(s) and go for it! So what if it's not a PS4!! It's more than good enough to do a game of this type.. hell even Android has these types of games that are wildly better than anything that was on previous Nintendo machines (Need for Speed on Wii U possibly excepted)... To be honest it pisses me off that Nintendo don't try and plug these kinds of gaps by working/partnering with someone also.. they don't have to do it, but let someone else do it!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?

I love the system... but as a launch presentation they learnt nothing from previous failures. Did they even do a dry run?? Montage, system and unique features, game demos, launch timing and games, roadmap for 2017 and hype for e3... that would have been far more effective. It came across as hollow... but i love the system and botw is phenomenal!

Re: Here's Why SNES VC Games Can Only be Played on a New 3DS

It's bullcrap... M2 have recreated Megadrive games in 3d at 60 fps... Whilst the SNES had hardware features that were better than the Megadrive, recreating those original games in non-3d on an 'old' 3ds would be a breeze... if you consider that the GBA handled SNES games very well (albeit reprogrammed) the 3ds could do it in its sleep. It's bull.. If you want to make money, get a company like M2 to build key games one by one and ell them like Sega did!
