Well, him and Cornell, the werewolf got a pretty neat wolf-knight design from the transition.



Agreed, it would really be helpful to know what games are/were doing well and see how they stand.
I didn't hate Trevor's Judgement redesign, either.

If nothing else, Judgement gave us a lot of good Castlevania remixes that work great for fighting games. Imported all of these into Brawl, lol.

My favorite Judgment design is Carmilla. :awesome:
The actual character thread is talking about Ridley.
I was going to make a joke about that and them I remembered that we just spent 3 pages discussing Geno.
We didn't really discuss Geno for three pages, we responded to posts about Geno for three pages. :facepalm:

Judgement Carmilla makes Bayonetta look like a nun.

Speaking of, Judgement Shanoa.



Man, this game really was the beginning of the end for IGA at Konami.

Wasn't Judgement just a silly side-game though?
It was a fighting game on Wii. Everything about that game was so poorly thought out, from the mechanics, to the platform, to the art design. It was somewhere between a traditional 3D fighter and power stone, and it used motion controls.

It was a hot mess. I'm not sure what Konami (and IGA in particular) were thinking with that one. It was the second to last Castlevania in the "traditional" time line and style before the Lords of Shadow reboot, though. The last one was an okay online game on Xbox.

The music was great largely because Castlevania has great music.

Castlevania and Final Fantasy are two series I would love to see get into Smash if for nothing else than for their music.

Actually, it was third to last. The Adventure Rebirth for WiiWare came in between Judgment and Harmony of Despair.

I wasn't disappointed.

Well that's because you think everything is going to explode. :troll:


Also, new title because I'm an indecisive ****.

Nintendo's E3 was lackluster but I'm not disappointed about it.

Most people hate the new Metroid, but I enjoy the concept.

That and I felt that nothing, not even the particularly bad stuff, was quite on the same level of disappointment as Sea of Thieves.

I'd take Chibi Metroid Soccer over "OKAY WE'RE FINALLY GONNA MAKE A NEW BANJ-NEVER MIND JUST KIDDING, HERE'S A RANDOM PIRATE GAME!" any day.

Nintendo's biggest issues, in my opinion, was poor time management and a lack of information in important areas.

Swamp, why not just settle it in Smash.

Name all the CPUs after your top choices, which ever CPU wins?

That game is your winner.

I think I was the only person happy with the Sea Of Thieves announcement. I've moved way past 3d platformers. Actually I never liked them to begin with. And I'm sick of old franchises being repeated over and over again. Also, most of the people at Rare didn't work on the originals, so I know that if they made another Banjo, there's a 99% chance fans would constantly ***** about it. So the fact that they're making a new game that isn't a Kinect game makes me happy. Also I love pirates and ship games.

So, I actually got a message on skype like some hours before, but I was so stupid to not have paid attention, here's an hour of paper Jam:


Now, if you excuse me, I have that video to watch :)
quoting this because we finally solved a mystery, the button on the bottom screen is a guide button, you get tutorials in battles.

As for quest 2, no one ever cleared quest 2 on camera :( I want to see the last bit of it :(

EDIT: btw, I heard the volcaloid remix of levan polkia in this video WHAT?

It's not really that they didn't make a Banjo game, it's just they deliberately trolled their fans, which isn't a good move in any sort of way whatsoever.

I do agree that Banjo is better off dead though.

I'm in the same boat with you, well, aside form moving past 3D platformers, as I believe we don't have enough nowadays. I would love a new Banjo, but doing a new IP is a great step in the right direction for Rare.

3D platformers are one of my favorite genres, but Sea of Thieves looks pretty cool.

Final Fantasy, Phoenix Wright, Scribblenauts, Professor Layton, Castlevania, Rayman, and Bomberman are my most thought about third party franchises when it comes to Smash.

A portion of a GamesBeat interview with Tetsuya Takahashi...

GamesBeat: What’s the biggest challenge in bringing an RPG franchise to high-definition for the first time?

Takahashi: Probably the biggest challenge for us comes in the planning stage, where we have to think about how we’re going to use these limited resources — I’m talking mostly about time on the schedule — to create all the assets in such a huge world. What order do we need to take tasks in to accomplish them all in the most efficient way? There’s a lot of tech that goes into expressing the open world concept as well, making sure that it’s a seamless experience from one end to the other. That’s probably the biggest challenge.

GamesBeat: Are you already working on your next game?

Takahashi: Yes, that’s always the case, every time.

GamesBeat: We’ve had Shulk in Smash Bros. That must be a neat thing to see. Now we know Nintendo is doing downloadable content for Smash Bros. Would you like to see Xenoblade Chronicles X characters in Smash as well?

Takahashi: I’m not entirely sure, but you could always ask Mr. Sakurai about that. [laughs]

Offtopic, but am I only one who drags images in people's signatures, and try to match the clone up to the original?

^ Yeah, this is the case for me, too.

I wouldn't have much faith in a Banjo sequel produced by the Rare of today, and do think the series is better off dead because of that.

My issue is the blatant trolling of their fans.
