I LOVE that song, buuuuuut if I'm being completely honest, P3's credits theme is probably my favorite in the series:

When it comes to credits songs in videogames, there’s one who I love a lot to hear:

You are, yes, but I understand your feelings. I can at least provide a bit of logic to muse over, might help steady you a bit.

It would be far simpler to assassinate her character somehow through her in-game actions or otherwise introduce a plot element to the series that can't be overlooked than changing a fundamental character choice.

Hell if they tried to do it with a gender swap, all Sega and Ninty would have to do to revive the series is change her back.

She already has the designs for it, everything's set, and they go about their business as though 3 were some kind of wacky side-episode. They know 1 and 2 went fine enough, so if they want to continue the series and 3 proves to have made an unpopular choice then reverting it in the next episode is a simple and effective solution. They'd have to convolute the story so hard to swap her gender in the first place that swapping her back would probably be child's play by comparison.

Look, for the record, I think we're both pretty aware the fear here is an irrational one and I don't want to seem like I'm attacking you or invalidating the mere fact that you're worried. The fear is understandable because this is something you care about. I ain't gonna hate on that. I've been there myself too many times, over probably more trivial things.

But what I do wanna do is provide you counterpoints so you don't get caught up in a one-person echo chamber and worry yourself in an unhealthy manner.

This'll help you fight the fears. Aight? All it is. And godspeed with it, we're here for ya.



Had to do a bit of digging to answer that, but:

Now if you ask me why she's particularly enamored with this bottle of whatever, I have no idea. But judging by the bar backdrop and the salivation I'm assuming it's at least modestly alcoholic and she finds it at least modestly tasty.


Furret is low-key my second-favorite poke of all time, Eevee being first.

I'm a big ferret fan, and I'm also a fan of big ferrets.

Then I remembered this video

Oh lawd he comin.

The best and the purest.

Thanks. This actually helps a little v

Anytime, fam.

If I'm of any assistance, the honor's mine.

If we're talkin' Nintendo credits themes, this is and always will be my favorite.

 

[SonicMario]

Like, Naughty Dog wanted to kill Crash with CTR so that more games would not be made without them. So they made Nitros Oxide the villain because they thought the alien would ruin it for people.

...Wait really? Crash Bandicoot is essentially a cartoon. Who would care if an alien came out of nowhere.

If they wanted to prevent Crash from being used elsewhere. They'd make CTR bomb, and yet it seems to be a nostalgic game for many and one of the best Mario Kart clones. We're just about two months away from a remake of it being released.

I know right. That massively backfired. Really don’t know what they were thinking.

Check out the newest Crash episode of Did You Know Gaming. It’s got developer interviews backing it up.

Or they could be trying to kill it intentionally.

Like, Naughty Dog wanted to kill Crash with CTR so that more games would not be made without them. So they made Nitros Oxide the villain because they thought the alien would ruin it for people.

If Platinum is moving towards independence, they might try something like that so SEGA and Nintendo don’t try to make more games without them.

Now I’m just being super paranoid.

Hold it right there with the Naughty Dog bit.

As far as I remember, they only wanted to be separated from Universal Entertainment. They wanted to work on Crash stuff, but they didn’t have another choice but to leave the IP in order to be on their own.
And CTR doesn’t feel like a franchise-killer kind of game, and in fact feels more like a last chapter-kind of thing with the hidden gallery of pictures about Naughty Dog and their track with the franchise.

I think that Platinum isn’t in a scenario like that one, so I don’t see why they would kill the Bayonetta series by doing silly stuff on purpose (which Naughty Dog didn’t really attempt to anyway).

And seriously, how could CTR be a game made to destroy the franchise for everyone when it features this?

At most, CTR is an end-of-book kind of game.

Check with Did You Know Gaming. That’s where I got it from.

So apparently Super Smash Flash 2 is adding the Trophy Stand as an item.

Considering that's something I wanted Smash 4 and Ultimate to do, that's pretty neat.

If the Oxides thing is true, that would go against everything else present in CTR.

As I mentioned, the game gives the vibes of an end of book kind of thing (roster made of most of the fan-favourites, unlockables showcasing a summary of Naughty Dog’s experience with the IP, the defeat of Cortex and Oxide when counting Warped, etc...). If the idea behind Oxide was to give a feeling of reject to the consumers, it totally feels out-of-place alongside the other stuff present in the game.

What would the trophy stand even do in Ultimate?

Also, there should be a way to unlock all the Fighter spirits without just waiting for them to come up in the store. The store needs an overhaul in its entirety come to think of it.

I gotta download SSF2 again sometime in the future.

Hopefully it is easier to use than in Brawl.

So what. The developer they interviewed was lying?

Ah yes. The Trophy Stand. For too long have we been denied our right to the Trophy Stand Trophy

 

[Deleted member]

Videogame credits theme? Ya'll know I had to post this one.

 

[Deleted member]

When it comes to Spirits in general, I keep suggesting this idea: a Spirit battle gallery.

To describe it short, the idea is to add through an update the option of replaying all the spirit battles of each one you collected through the Spirit Gallery.

We almost have something close with the Persona board, but I feel that the option of playing the spirit battles you already won before should be added for anyone who wants to do so without having to start a New Game+ File on WoL or hoping for the wanted spirit to appear on the board.

Whelp no going back now. As God came down to Moses in a vision to warn Ramses of his will, Satan has risen from the Earth in this one dream I had two nights ago to prophesize our reality. I've seen the light. Movie Sonic for Smash Bros.

 

[Gentlepanda]

fellas i'm gonna have to stop y'all right there with these credit themes

Also, I can't believe the Sonic movie is going to be the most accurate video game movie of all time with the insane crunch hours the animators are going to have to endure

If that make you feel better, I also feel tired rn haha....

OK, gotta say it now, taking nap sometime make you more tired than anything, and that stink.

Watching the video, and Snake's correct. Naughty Dog understood that CTR would be their last Crash game and the Oxide thing was planned to kill the franchise by jumping the shark.





The interview with Rubin comes in around 3:48 if you'd like a look, but those two stills are all the further it goes into it.

Unfortunately it backfired, partly because Crash is just wacky enough for it to work and people loved it, and partly because they still busted their asses on the game and a lot of love was put into it, which showed.

Now that all said - none of this would have any relevance to Bayonetta unless we had an indication that Platinum was looking to end the franchise with 3. At present we've got no word on that.

For my part I seriously doubt they'd do it, but I'm just a man puppeting a yellow rodent on the internet.

You can't just drop fire like this without my permission.

It's actually Sonic at its purest when you think about it. Sonic vs. Eggman. How classic can you get beyond time stop powers, real life humans, no Green Hills, cars, and EMP plot devices? This is what I remember from Sonic 1.

Spoiler: That's got nothing on these

Also if we're talking credits, this is a phenomenal track for an indie game.

Remember how the design was “leaked” all those months ago. That was no accident. They did it to gauge opinions then decided to change it. They already had this version of the trailer done so they released it to stir up controversy.

 

[Opossum]

What would the trophy stand even do in Ultimate?

The same thing it does in SSF2 and in the SSE, more or less. Throw it and whoever it hits turns into a trophy. Pick it up (about the same weight as a crate) and throw it off the ledge. The more damage the opponent has, the longer they stay trapped in the trophy.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So far so good for Detective Pikachu, it seems

If the score is at least in the 75% range when there's 80 reviews counted, it'll be certified fresh.

Here's hoping

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I see I missed a Male Bayo convo, Male Bayo would be just as epic as Female Bayo because Bayo is Bayo and i ****ing love Bayo

I can live without that.

No seriously I don't think people realize how much work it's going to take to redesign Sonic and re-animate him. From what I understand this is a process that tends to take a year or two, yet the people who have to do all that work get less than half a year to do it. Especially as the people who are going to be doing that most likely wanted a more traditional look for the blue blur but the people with power said "No, people want it like THIS!". Not to mention there's a good chance that the people who're going to ****ing ruin themselves with a **** ton of extra work aren't even going to get extra pay for it

Given Platinum's good rapport with Nintendo and Sega, I really doubt they will do something stupid to kill the Bayo series. Plus, Naughty Dog=/=Platinum. They are different companies with different work cultures, differrnt focuses and at different points in gaming industry.

Its above 75% Im afraid. Still, good chance of remaining fresh.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Metal Shop X Any tips for pixel art?

Sorry for the late reply.

Hmmm, it depend, like, are you just starting? If so, I say you should try doing small sprites, and if you don't know what program to use, good 'ol paint as all the basic for you to start with without feeling overwhelmed by 3000 tools to use. You can also try to replicate already existing 8-bits/16-bits sprite while using different colours palettes, to see how much effort are actually put into those sprites and get a better grasp on the process of making one.
