Speaking for just myself, I only have a 1080p display at the moment. But even then I expect 60fps for the hardware I bought claiming it can push that framerate and potentially more. So if developers are trying to sell a game to me that runs below what I was told my console is capable of, why bother?
The price of the new Elite core controller had me interested especially because I heard they fixed some of the original Series 2 issues. But now custom Elite controllers? Saving money? Fuggedaboutit!
I was really looking forward to playing this split screen with my father like back in 2001. I think this is the only gaming news I've ever read where I feel upset. This is hands down the worst Halo news I ever read. It's one thing to confirm it wasn't coming like Halo 5, it's another thing entirely to say its coming and then cancel it. Absolutely buffoonery at play, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I would've liked it if it had white rubber grips instead of black. I got my Elite 2 as a gift, the buttons got mushy not long after. All the stories were unfortunately true. Poorly made? I'd say poorly tested.
@SecretAgentCat One man's trash is another man's treasure. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy and play these games, but I admit it looks fairly calming.
NICE! I was just thinking of this game the other day, I had seen a review/retrospective a while back and had always wanted to try it. It seems my prayers have not gone unanswered.
The scenery and enemy designs would not feel out of place in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. This is Sonic, a cartoon hedgehog. This gives off feelings of Sonic '06 with more realistic designs clashing with these big eyed expressive characters that I don't feel meshes as well. I at least hope the gameplay is solid.
See... I like the original game's presentation more than the Ultimate Edition's, but I love the UE's gameplay and quality of life improvements more. I'll take a collection any day, but I just hope they don't change too much of the presentation and feel.
Give us what we all want, a Sonic 06 remake. But of all Sega games, what I want a console remaster of Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 with 4, HD, online play. Do that and I'll buy it five times.
Whether he has a point or not, I just don't see the purpose of putting people's name in your mouth, especially in such a public manner. Comes off attention-seeking, obnoxious and unnecessary. Stop trying to stir drama and mind your own business.
Holy moley, why don't developers do more showcases like this? This shows they're confident in their product and in turn having me interested and confident that I will no doubt purchase this.
Always hold off on demos and just stay focused on the task at hand so you can make something truly worth showing off. Also, anyone recommend whether I try the original backwards compatibility version or the remaster? I heard mixed things about the remaster.
Not trying to start anything, it looks nice and all. Just my personal concerns. Game related: It's so strong that it can't run 60fps consistently on console. Non game related: The more advanced graphics tech becomes, the easier it can be to pass these off as reality when it's a lie to deceive people ya know?
I give it an F because there's no standard red coating for Rakshasa, I can't live up to my name. Jokes asides, I think time is necessary before you can fairly grade it. Right now I'm hopping between KoTH and LSS and really like both. The new cosmetics are cool but another six month wait is straight up wack. If I had rate it right now... Probably a B. But that can change to a C as time passes.
I went into this mode with the mindset that I wouldn't win anyways, so I wouldn't get bummed. My heart would beat like I couldn't remember from other games, mainly because it's all on you. After several matches, I had won. And I felt so so good. I actually liked the map closing in, I just wish we can do more than one map at the moment.
@GuyinPA75 I kinda felt that way with the guy in the stream with the long hair and hat. When Joseph Staten was joking of his huge sweater and having fun, hat dude visibly groaned and had no smile. And it just felt... Not good.
Played the original game via backwards compatibility (not the 360 "remaster", the actual original) many years ago. I wish I still had access to that version, because this one besides the weapon wheel and gps, was a damn shame.
@Zucaritas The hands off approach is what's happening at my job. And it's lead to what one of the bosses said like a 140% turnover rate with the company. Teams need leadership that is not overbearing, yet still firm to get results. If things feel too lax, then why bother?
@ParsnipHero I see a lot of hate on BR's online, in the past particularly for Halo. But the mode sounds fun if that's what one likes or wants at that moment. I say a BR can work for Halo if it is not the sole focus. If all modes see love, care and new content, then by all means. I'd give it a shot, but mostly cuz of the Halo theme.
These maps look great, they feel more inspired than city streets, a market, and a green forest. They give more of an arena shooter feel than the maps I mentioned. This is what I'd like to see more of.
I dropped the game around level 51 because of all the desync issues at the time. Getting back on before Season 2 drops to see how things have changed. I have little to no experience with BR's, let's see how they do (if it exists).
