Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Remaster Apparently Lined Up For November, Prime 2 And 3 To Follow

piecez

I skipped through a video play through of all three Prime games and even though I have fond memories of the games I couldn't actually recognise any of the locations I saw in the video.

The games exist in my memory with only the moods of the areas leaving a lasting impression. I don't know if this is because the games are boring with no centrepieces in the levels to make them memorable, or if its simply been so long I forgot. scary.

interestingly though, I can clearly remember locations from Mario 64, which came out years before the first prime. I can remember the locations vividly and will probably never forget them

Re: Takashi Iizuka: Sonic Frontiers Is Sonic's "Next Step For The Next 10 Years"

Breath of the wild didn't need explaining, you saw it and you knew it was about exploration. anything you didn't understand, you were excited to wait to find out when you played the game.

This sonic game on the other hand, we understand it looks mediocre and fear it will be worse to play.

ps I really hate boost rails, they scream ''we don't know how to implement sonics speed and movement in a 3d space, here are some rails.''

Re: YouTuber Ends Metroid Prime Music Covers After Nintendo's Lawyers Call

@sanderev no music or art exists outside of the influence of others art. its paying homage, with varying degrees of the original work apparent.

even the music Nintendo creates for its games can be accused of plagiarism if you look at the obvious influences that can be heard in them. there's nothing new under the sun!

Re: This Good Smile Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nia Figure Can Now Be Pre-Ordered For $259.99

@Modsandsods1 it is a spoiler. im a big Xenoblade fan, just because I haven't completed a mammoth 100+ hour game doesn't mean im not a fan. I have started the game but im also busy.

When I saw the figure I didn't even recognise it as being Nia. I thought 'really? that's such a poor likeness' then googled Nia, as I only know her in the game to be younger. Then I got so many spoilers while looking at google ha

I signed up for Netflix, but I know the deal is that I enjoy the content while its available- I know the content is not forever mine, different films can be pulled at anytime. That's the deal and I accept it.

If you really love a game that is only available digitally, sorry but that is the tough reality of digital- its only available to access (legally) for as long as the platform holder provides it.

Just do what I do for digital games I am interested in- pray they get a physical release!

Its not me who is ridiculous, but those who think they are entitled to own something offered temporarily to be forever theirs. If more people supported physical media, maybe the devs would make your beloved titles in a format that is actually yours to keep.

Re: Nintendo Blocks Another 2,200 Videos On YouTube Featuring Its Music

Nintendo do release official soundtracks for many of their many major games. support Nintendo and the artist by purchasing the soundtrack.

If there are any games that dont have soundtracks released, a good community would contact Nintendo (or other dev/publisher) about making the OST available.

taking to YouTube and releasing other peoples property is not the behaviour of a fan. YouTube has clear guidelines about publishing content that isn't yours

Re: Popular Video Game Music YouTube Channel Receives 1,300 Copyright Claims From Nintendo

piecez

I don’t get how people can upload the content in the first place, since YouTube ask you to confirm that you own the copyright or have permission to post the content you are submitting. The person clearly doesn’t own nintendos soundtracks, so why would they bother in the first place?

I post remixes on YouTube, hardly original but at least I could claim I have created some content. If Nintendo were to target remix channels I would probably argue more in favour of the content creator

Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is Already Being Streamed Online, And It's Not Even Out Yet

piecez

Its just a game.

you should use the streams to make informed decisions, like, is this a good game. game freak are seemingly scared to show live gameplay, for some reason. probably because it looks very very shabby from what I can see

  • crazy pop in
  • lack of ambience or atmosphere
  • awkward camera
  • little to no polish
  • ugly on screen text
  • wireframes visible during gameplay ugh
