Seems my memory is slipping, all this hustle and bustle and all these youngins must be too much for this old timer. *shakes cane*
Well that's cool I guess, though makes Nintendo acquiring Rare's IPs less likely, which is really the only thing to do with Microsoft I care about. (Not that it was likely anyway)
It's not like anything was cut out of the game due to SSE, as far as we know. And I guess maybe it's just differing opinion, but I thought SSE cutscenes were cute and quirky.
...It took up 70% of the development time. And there's the Forbidden 7 that never made it in. Technically, we did have some stuff cut overall. Mewtwo was the most finished, notably. Dixie probably wouldn't have made it in regardless, as Sakurai's reason she's not in is he couldn't get the mechanic to work right. The rest, though... especially Roy, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario...
Well in terms of Brawl I don't think it matters all to much. But since the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game are said to be identical versions, with the exception of stages and the 3DS's mystery customization feature, too many per-rendered movies will cause an issues if Sakurai and his team are aiming similar core content across both platforms.
I'm not sure if this is one of those "the damage has already been done" situations. But at a lower price and higher specs the PS4 is still a better choice.
This is still possible. Granted, Microsoft DID renege on the DRM features, but from a marketing standpoint, a colossal amount of damage has already been dealt. Many analysts are saying that Xbox is going to be sold off in 5 years. This is a very real possibility, as Xbox is a tiny fraction of Microsoft's revenue. If the Xbone bombs (which is looking quite likely), it would be logical for Microsoft to just sell off all of their gaming assets. If this DOES happen, I would imagine Nintendo would buy up Rare unless they have an aversion to money. Don't stop believin'.
At this rate, given Sakurai hesitant to cut, it makes me feel that should there be Brawl veteran cuts out of time constraints and DLC occurs, he will put them back.
I believe this is what they said they were going to do.
Pretty sure it was user Nolar_Mass that did that. For some reason the majority of supporters in that thread are 110% sure that Chrom will be a very original and exciting character and that he cannot be a clone. You know, despite Chrom recycling aspects of Marth and Ike. I have no bloody idea what goes through their minds...
Well then in that case I wish them all the worst.
You know... Chrom can be made unique and original. Do I think that's likely? No, I think Sakurai will find more merit in other characters. Does he lend himself to a unique moveset easily? No, not really. Do I personally find Chrom a big old snooze? I sure do. But... he can be made his own character, it's possible, and it comes down to Sakurai's opinion, because he'll definitely be looked at at one point.
That's probably contributed by the duel layer disc. It effects pretty much all of the loading in the game due to how the data is formatted, which is why Brawl generally speaking has slower loading times then Melee.
Blame the programming. Melee pre-loaded the transformations into its cache before the match begun. Brawl loads them only after you execute the transformation Down-B. It takes more time to read data from the disc.
It's because brawl was very, very inefficiently coded. In fact, the loading times are SO horrible and so horrendously coded that the we, the Project M staff, had to re-code a lot of how those things worked to allow for MUCH, much faster and more efficient loading times.
Yeah, I had a hunch it would be that. Couldn't think of anything else. [Badly programmed code is also to blame.]
It's going to take much more than that, my friend. lol
Well, with a more experienced team at Namco Bandai, I doubt such issues would arise this time around.
It's a start, none the less. The differences between the two will be something reminiscent of Sonic Lost World for the Wii U and 3DS. There will be some obvious work arounds, and loss in level fidelity, animations and background detail.
It's not only that, but characters like the ICs and Olimar have AI controlled partners. Those characters require more processing power than other characters.
Well, you're cutting the frame rate in half and, while I doubt it would solve everything, it would help things.
This is true too. Also I believe the additional power that the 3DS has is used to help maintain a high framerate for 3D, the 3DS processor and the parallax screen work with rates twice as high (120 refreshes in a 60 fps game.)
I'm not sure about it. The Smash 3DS trailers don't seem to indicate that yet.
Well, its quite obvious that the graphics will be reduced on the 3DS, is what I'm trying to say. If you just take a look at the footage we've been shown thus far, it's very apparent that the 3DS version doesn't look as good as the Wii U version. It's not surprising that the models and textures are reduced by quite a bit.
Keep in mind that the game is still in the middle of development and details could change as time goes on. While it's true it's far enough ahead to have actual in-game footage, it's by no means finalized. Especially in the case of the 3DS, where as time goes on changes to not overwhelm the hardware could be necessary in order to prevent any problems. The can range from reducing the quality of models further or dropping the frame rate.
