The sequel should be out in the states this tuesday. I was surprised to hear its only got a 30 dollar pricetag. Good shit.

What's Endless Ocean?

What's Endless Ocean?
Scuba adventure game.
-
What console is it on? I have never heard of this. Sounds like Aquanaut's Holiday or something.
-
of course being a non game it's on the wii :smug
-
I remember a few folks giving it positive mentions in the past but it looks like they're not coming out of hiding at the moment.

Dont let him fool you. Its not an adventure game.
-
Eh, its close enough. You swim around an ocean, you catalouge fish, search for treasure. Revisit old areas under different conditions to find new species. Its kinda like pokemon without all the cockfighting.
edit: well, there's six oceans now. they also removed the radius limits for the individual oceans this time around.
-
I liked the first game, don't know if I'll get the sequel though.
-
all i remember about the original is that the most exciting thing that happened was wondering how many penguin i could find upon return to my ship

I liked when I went down into the abyss the first time and a giant whale was coming right at me. It was the first time in a long time I ever got scared in a game.
-
I dont want to be one of those fegs but I'd play this if it was on 360.

Get "Seallife Safari" on XBLA. Its just like Pokemon Snap.
-
yeah I much as I love to piss on the Wii, Endless Ocean is a great game. It actually does the whole relaxing non-game thing right, lots of crap to collect and theres some big ass scary fishes :o I should fire it up again, I never got too far in it. The dialogue is all zany funny engrish stuff, and love the soundtrack too, Hayley Westenra owns.

I think some 6ft Tunafish almost made me crap my pants! I was surpised aobut how freaky this game is
-
I got about 12 hours of enjoyment out of it before it was "finished". I never explored the whole ocean or found all the fish or anything though.
Probably the only game where I actually get scared, especially when the water is really deep or some goddamn scary creature shows up right behind me. Diving on the edge of the Abyss is scary shit. :lol
-
Imagine getting your nuts licked to this jam OMG

It also had this song:

That's weird, cus in EO it was called Benedictus and had altered lyrics.
Unless thats what benedictus translates to.

Apparently the Karl Jenkins [Adiemus IV] version is the original, while the version by Hayley Westrena [Pure] came out two years later and was the version in Endless Ocean.
-
Is the first one freely available? Will this one make it obsolete?
-
I believe Nintendo stopped production of the first game, but I dont think its rare/pricey
-
Used copies of Endless Ocean are more expensive than new copies of Endless Ocean 2. Impressions from europeans claim there is a lot more to do in many more areas present in the sequel. Its only 30 dollars.
-
$30 on ebay is about right after a quick search
-
Also if you live near a GS that has one

I might pick this up...
-
There was a game for PS2 lik this called Everblue

Everblue and Endless Ocean are both by the same developer [Arika].

Can I die in this game? Or is this just for relaxation? :smug

I don't think Arika had anything to do with Tweeny Witches.

This time pirahnas and sharks and other sealife can attack you. But you just lose oxygen in those cases.
-
I played it for like an hour before I got bored and sold it. Afrika lasted about five hours before I got bored, but that had the appeal of being a photographer; not a fair comparison.
-
I do wish they would make a new pokemon snap game, hopefully the camera missions are more abundant this time around.
-
yeah, Pokemon Snap was awesome. Photography in games for points is usually pretty awesome. Dead Rising is another example.
Afrika was kinda like a stealth photography game. You had to lie down in a bush and just wait for things to enter the shot. One point you had to wait like five to ten minutes for these elephants to get closer. Then there was managing different camera that had different settings, and you could even go into manual mode and adjust all the camera settings and things like that. One cool thing was that you could tilt the controller to take portrait shots.
-
Sealife Safari, man.

the PS1 game is called "Treasures of the Deep" iirc. It was pretty ropey but kinda fun.

Haha. Namco made that one I remember. It came out about the same time as the home port of Time Crisis. I remember you went around on a turbine powered yellow dildo shooting harpoons and throwing nets on sea life.
-
I just picked up my copy and played for about an hour. The good stuff is that it looks like they took everything about the first game and expanded upon significantly. On the other hand, I'm stuck in a looooong tutorial that goes on for 3-4 missions. Oxygen doesn't last for more than 10 minutes, so until I can upgrade the tank I'm stuck doing linear missions. There's some lightgun stuff in here for healing fishes and calming predators. Story is crap too, I just wanna find fishes!
edit: The music sucks too. Biggest sour point for me thus far. :'(
-
HAHAHAHA the music is embarassing. What's with the free willy choir boy shit? LMAO
-
Yeah, the music is so soooo gaaaaaay. :lol
I stopped playing after rescuing the baby whale. Don't think I can play this much longer. The graphics are pretty good for a Wii game, though.
-
How are the graphics compared to the first game? I thought the first game was quite good, it was just the aliasing that stood out quite a bit.
-
I think it looks good for a wii game. It's actually widescreen. Considering you're mostly in barren or narrow areas, it shouldnt be difficult to churn out decent models.
-
It sounds pretty wack how the didnt license more Hayley Westenra tracks for the sequel. Or they could have mixed it up with some Enya, Enigma etc.
-
I forgot the first game was true widescreen. Those black bars give me the shits so when there's a true widescreen Wii game I'm always pretty impressed.
Talk about setting the bar low.
-
I think its becoming more common now these days. Nintendo must have updated the SDKs for developers... lol
-
btw, this is the embarassing music that plays

(more songs within)
-
It's better than the FFXIII theme at least.
-
I finished the main game. Extremely irritating. The puzzles are simplistic get from a-b to pap and the story is awful. Just awful people. I'm glad its over with so I can get to what makes this game fun, dicking around for my own pleasure. I will say that the new multisensor makes treasure hunting kinda awesome. Its kind of a hot or cold minigame done in first person.
edit: ok something cool happened. The skipper basically told off the whole team and how are adventure was a gigantic unprofitable mess. He has instructed us to all work like dogs doing photo/guide requests. YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS.
