Social Smash 4 Social Topic 2.0

[Raccoonman_900]

I shouldn't say it too soon, but I'm hoping for either tonight or next night for a Diddy reveal.

And… I spoke too soon for tonight. Just a comparison between Samus and Little Mac in terms of size.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want a game with the job system but set in the world of ivalice

and being able to get characters of the different races.

Especially a Bangaa character

SE make my perfect FF and make it on the 3DS

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

[The Original Robot boy]

Ivalice has so much untapped potential and deep lore. Too bad XII had a half-ass storyline and cast.

Oh, cool. Two of the first third party GBA VC (WiiU) games might be Klonoa and Mr Driller.

Welp, I give up...

On what?

Hoping for the day the 3DS gets GBA virtual console games (again).

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

Klonoa would be fricking perfect as a Smash Bros charcter..

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'd love a spin-off for Final Fantasy VIII. My favorite regular game in the series(that wasn't some other genre, that is). I mean, I like a lot of the other ones too, but this one took my fancy, since it rewarded smart play and combinations(of equipment and spells), not just power-leveling.

Not that it isn't a solid game that finished well, but something set in the same universe, perhaps. Or based around some of the characters. Seifer spends a lot of time away from the group, Irvine isn't met till quite a bit into the game, basically stories based around characters who could spend more time being delved into.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

Klonoa would be fricking perfect as a Smash Bros charcter..

too bad namco forgot who klonoa is, kinda like Konami and Rocket Knight >_>

Heck I doubt we'll even get a Tales Of character. Third-parties seem to be more of popularity to the company. I know someone will come in here and cry "MEGA-MAN" but do i even need to explain that one

I'm waiting for the next Parodius.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

I'm waiting for the next Parodius.

that looks fun, what type of game is that? I can see why you're waiting. I didn't even see an english result on my google search.

klonoa and rocket knight ;_; r.i.p.

It's like Gradius. Just very weird.

i'm going to add this to my playing/buy list now; good job

Got any other Gradius like games you know of? I'm working on a Shmup with others as we speak.

Well, there's Lifeforce.
Another one I know of is "Touhou". It's a danmaku (or, "bullet hell") using anime characters.
BTW the majority of them are arcade game so...

 

[Thirdkoopa]

hey the bigger hits being arcade only means less competition for my group and I. y;

Well, you do have the PC and consoles crowd. Who do have their fair share of shoot-em-up games.

we haven't actually seen THAT many lately. There was what, Sine Mora and Jamestown? The Ikaruga HD release? (nothing against any of those games I enjoyed them all) Puppygames, who while their games are awesome, don't count as much? Resogun?

of course i'm not depending on genre. The makers of Sine Mora (the most beautiful) even declared it a financial failure at GDC Europe 2012. The real reason the group picked shmup is because it's easier to make than say, an RPG.

Well, as of right now. There's only been a few dominating genres (platformer, shooter, RPG) so I wouldn't be surprised.

But here's what I say. Just because it's dying doesn't mean anything.
You can still make a great game even if the genre isn't doing well.
I may not be a game developer, but I've been planning on getting into the review business (yes I know real original). And one thing I've learned is that uniqueness is a good thing.
Find a way to make yourself different. A way to make it not just "a Gradius clone", but more it's own image.

One good way to start is to first find the concept. What will your game be? In the future? Steampunk? Maybe aliens are taking over? And go from there...

 

[mimgrim]

You 2 should definitely check out Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors and its sequel Virtue's Last Reward. If you haven't already.

Of course! Well... actually it kinda does mean something for sales sadly; my point about Sine Mora had to do with what happened at GDC. Even they gave suggestions though in their postmortem.

Oh we've already got quite a bit, and we're making ourselves a lot more different than I've even made it sound like. I just play games in the same genre's I work in for inspiration. We've actually had a beta before but went through scrapping it when it was just me and one guy, so...

(I also plan on producing/directing games for a living. ****.)

Welp, sometimes it takes multiple tries to get the best.

C'mon man, think on the bright side. Video games are bigger than ever. They need people with fresh ideas.

I think on the bright side a lot of the time. It's exciting! It's just stressful.

Have you written any reviews yet or articles?

 

[LiteralGrill]

Klonoa would be fricking perfect as a Smash Bros charcter..

Back during PSASBR LOADS of people said the same thing for that game, he'd work better in smash though.

Well, that's something I'm working on.
It probably won't be till much, much later (like years later).

don't remind me.

Project M please? ;_;

@Mister Get yourself out there sooner! Don't be shy.

 

[IsmaR]

I'm at my school library right now, and the two guys next to me are arguing over which is better, Melee or Brawl

I'm sad now that my mod powers don't work irl.

do tell more details. I'm curious.

i'm just in a class posting during a slideshow of past projects

Just remind them.
Smash 64 rules over both of them with an iron fist.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

add project m and psabr into the argument

 

[IsmaR]

They're arguing over stuff like which has better characters/stages than any technical aspects.

 

[Sehnsucht]

I thought Klonoa was female until just recently.

Simple, Smash Crusade.

 

[LiteralGrill]

Heheh... It is fun to see this all over again, first to Brawl, then to PSASBR, and then now. It's crazy how many great ideas there are. Little Mac makes it difficult, but I can still wish that Harry from Teleroboxing could be in with a reboot for the series on the 3DS (which would make LOADS of money).

And oh man wanting a job in video games... I've had a few game concepts, my wife even did up art for it all. I obviously lack the programming capabilities though. I'd love to hit up virtual console and make some cash there...[/q

melee has better stages (even then brawl arguably has more variety in some ways)
brawl has better characters

/2cents
/at least its not another technical debate

Watch one pull up Sonic as a reasonable argument.

I want mod powers IRL...

Heck, I'd take mod powers not IRL but the only boards I'd be helpful with are essentially dead
