Rebalanced? Promising!

Rebalanced? Promising!

yeah, there was a good interview where they talked about how they made (slight) changes to the original patterns so that there's more than 2 usable characters. game is still mostly bollocks (I can't stand drop-n-wait puzzlers) but it might be worth 400 points. So it'll cost 800, I'm sure.

Post by: demi on August 28, 2007, 02:32:27 PM
It is 800

They have the original and rebalanced modes on there

They updated the character sprites too? I thought II CE was the only one getting that treatment.

Everyone all excited about this has been all over the Swordfighting game in Puzzle Pirates, right? RIGHT?

I'm all over this, even though I've only played a few minutes of it on an emulator. What time is it being released? I thought it was more like early morning.

how could you play Puzzle Fighter if you're colorblind?

Some games come with color blind mode, not sure if Puzzle Fighter ever did

Is there a colorblind mode for guitar hero?

why would you need it? the keys physically map to the game UI, and you never look at your hands anyhow.
Title: Re: Super Puzzle Fighter HD tonight!
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 28, 2007, 07:01:15 PM
Someone was telling me that they couldn't play another game that I thought color didn't play into as well so i was just wondering.

I can't play Puyo Puyo. fortunately Puyo Puyo sucks. I have trouble with wirecutting minigames in bad Euro adventures. Puzzle fighter is probably THE most colorblind unfriendly game of all time, though, as the yellow/green are impossibly identical even by the standards of color deficient vision and there's NO visual data to differentiate gems besides color. good thing the game sucks so I'm not missing much

Magical Drop > Puyo Puyo
Kururin Pa > Puyo Puyo

Puyo Puyo, Dr. Mario, and Puzzle Fighter all used the "drop-and-snooze" method of boring-ass chaining. More active puzzle games make for better strategies, opportunities, and fun.

I always had fun with Puzzle Fighter II, but that had more to do with the aesthetics than the gameplay, which was just average for a puzzler.

This new HD version looks awful.  The people they've gotten to do the HD backgrounds on this and the stuff in SSFIITHD (quite a mouthful) have zero artistic sensibility and talent.

if you want a spazzy action puzzler, nothing on earth beats Magical Drop 3 Plus Wonderful

there are better competitive puzzlers, but few as frantic or fun

plus, World's boobs are awesome:

okay, this game fucking kicks ass.  unfortunately the 360 dpad makes it difficult to control =[.  the analog stick isn't helping either.  i've just placed an order for the hori 360 stick, this should make all XBLA experiences ace from now on.

oh, and multiplayer is lag free!  was very surprised at how good it was.  definitely worth the buy if you're a puzzle fighter fan.  all the new menus and backgrounds are gorgeous.  :drool

I'm buying the game, but I'm buying it for PS3, mostly because the PS3 controller has a better D-pad.
Title: Re: Super Puzzle Fighter HD tonight!

I might try one of those d-pad mods for the 360 pad. Gonna buy this now.

I like how practically everything is in HD... except the sprites

This game is pretty fun, just seems like another Puyo Pop clone, except you gotta get those explosion gems in order for it to work.

How the fuck have some of you never played PUZZLE FIGHTER before??  ???

Anyway, the original game is a bit unbalanced.  Not just the home ports, the arcade game itself.  Certain characters' gem drop patterns kind of sucked, making it easier for your opponent to get the drop on you.  I suppose it could be argued that picking a character with a weaker gem pattern is like a handicap and more of a challenge though.  Capcom fixed this issue themselves later on with the Dreamcast port, which the XBLA version is clearly based on.  It had online play as well BTW.  In the DC port, you could alter any characters' gem pattern to whatever you wanted to, so even Dan could end up as the best character in the game.  So I think the devs of this version just took this concept and made everyone pretty much equal with gem editing.  I haven't played it yet though.

Also for you DUMBASSES, the game is actually three puzzle games in one.  X, Y, and Z are all different games.  X is the normal PF, but Y and Z are essentially COLUMNS and PANEL DE PON/TETRIS ATTACK

I will, but I may not gave the game on either 360 or PS3 for a little while, since I doubt it's being released out the States right now.  I have to get some U.S. points from back home first.   :'(

I just found an online site that sells U.S. points and e-mails the code instantly after you purchase them.  I got 4000 points...a bit pricey at $49, but I'm set for a while.  Will buy PF as soon as I get home!

I want to hear more about this!  Is it true the game has four player versus?  How does that work out?

Puyo Puyo is fun, but I would still rather play Tetris.  And I hate the look of the game now; the older games were fine, but the Fever-style look is godawful.

Wow this game is a total dick online. Jus when you think you are about to win, all those timed blocks become real blocks and they get a huge ass combo on you.
