huh? I'm not seeing the connection.

personally all they had to do was pallete swap jet set radio future for sonic characters and replace tags with rings.

I hope you're joking. 

nope

Sonic is all about a-b. Jet set is like, arena gameplay. 

What in the hell are you talking about?

Jet Set Radio Future is about finding tags and spraying them in huge labyrinth levels and platforming your damnest to find them all. I see nothing wrong with making 3d Sonic about finding rings to complete a level. 3d Mario isn't like 2d Mario, so why do they have to be the exact same thing?

Also, arena? What the hell?

I just really don't see the jet set physics and general flow being conducive with Sonic at all.  And arena would be in reference to how the level is layed out.  Its not a linear obstacle course like in most platformers.

New Eschatos trailer:
[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

Looks pretty good. I'm liking the multiple difficulties and odd camera angles they're using for some battles. Plus with Judgment Silversword and Cardinal Sins on the disc, this should be a pretty good value.

Also, in the description for the video it says, "This game is released only in Japan, but it will be worldwide-region disc." So I guess that means it's region free. Yay.

Well not all is lost,"not canceled" apparently,probably trying to save what can be saved,but with this competition around...

Quote
Cambridge studio Frontier Developments has not cancelled production on The Outsider, its founder David Braben has told Develop.

However, 17 workers at the group have been made redundant as Frontier rethinks its approach developing the game.

“There is still publisher interest in the project, and we haven’t cancelled it,” Braben told Develop.

“The priority has been reduced, but we’re still working on it,” he said.

“A publisher has not cancelled the project”, he later said when asked for clarification.
The Outsider has been in production for six years.

Earlier Braben told games site Rock Paper Shotgun that the studio has "had to change priorities because of requirements on other unannounced projects".

He added: "Some people have been moved, and we are very sad to have made some people redundant.”

Making staff redundant is “a hateful thing to do” Braben told Develop.

“It’s gutting, but one of those things you are forced to do sometimes.”

Following redundancies, Frontier has over 210 staff at its studio, Braben said.

There are some games where I think watching a playthrough on youtube is probably better than me actually playing the game.

Heavy Rain would be an example of that. I legit feel like I experience that game just by watching a playthrough. I feel the same about Deadly Premonitions. Because neither game is very good on the mechanics side but have interesting or funny stories.

I'm starting to feel that way about certain jrpg franchises also.

Heavy Rain sucks as a youtube movie.

The whole fun of the game is that it's got a billion branching paths and you make all these choices that affect the story so it becomes your personal story.  Watching some linear video of someone else's playthrough kind of misses the point.

Typical sfaggeration.  :lol

I had fun with Heavy Rain but you're right about most of the branching being trivial, especially since the killer and his actions never change.  I wish they had done a dynamic plot like the Blade Runner game which changes the killer, depending on the player's choices.  In Blade Runner, you are also allowed to do different things to the killer once you discovered his or her identity.  That would have given Heavy Rain players a lot more to talk about and added plenty of replay value to the game.

I didn't give a crap about it being "my personal story" nor do I give a shit about doing lots of quicktime events. I watched it on youtube and got just as much enjoyment as I wanted out of it. The only reason to like that game is the story. I was fine with watching a specific version of the story there.

Haha. I played Romancing SaGa for ps2 for like 5 hours. What a turd. Worst rpg I played on ps2 by far, even worse than Suikoden IV and Xenosaga II.

Did some chapter with dinosaurs in a cave, at the beginning of the game, and the dinosaurs took sooo longggggggg to kill. Then did some chapter with some ice dungeon and shit.

Bored the crap out of me.

i tried the boss again and he didn't use his spam-mastic move instead he attacked twice my member with the biggest DF rating and then used sleep (which didn't hit) so i guess luck plays a huge role during these boss fight

same! since everybody talked like it was a matter of "getting it" i tried playing with different character,i tried hunting for different side-quest,i tried anything but i simply couldn't get anything out of it,it was like squeezing a turnip

eh barring the horrible boss it hasn't been bad so far,it really feels like an old game but without all the horrible slowness and clunkiness that usualy comes paired with it,it even features visible monster on the field that you can dodge!

just to give an idea of the scenario,my next part of the quest consist into

spoiler (click to show/hide)
reaching some giant valley so i can make myself small so i can fight some goblins who went inside a holy priest
[close]


the game works like the original in that you make a party out of 4 different kinds of character,humans gains stat at random,can use every item and are geared toward phsyical stuff,esper gains stat at random,gains skill at random (and since skills count as items,if their inventory is full they forget a skill to learn new one,tough at least you can control what they forget) and are geared toward magic,robot gains stat by equipping more stuff and don't have any equipment limit (so they can equip 4 helmet for example as long as they have the inventory space to do so) and finaly monster don't gain stat but instead morph into different monster by eating meats,the game doesn't tell you into what you morph next (i ended up morphing into a lot of crappy monster before settling to a rock monster that had a quite big DF stat) which is frustating but there is a handy book that list,all the various monster combination you have discovered

as you progress you also unlock relics,which give you more power like finding hidden treasure's or stat boost or elemental immunity,apparently there are 77 of them and the whole point of the game it's to gather them all

that stuff was all in the original,new to this version are muses,if you finish battle in a certain way you get a point reward (right now i only have the muse of speed so i get a bonus if i can finish a battle in a single turn) you then use those point to buy "threads of fate" which let you pull off team attacks,there are different kinds of threads of fate and apparently different kinds unlock different kind of event.....

....it's not clearly explained,while the "team attack" part is quite clear and nice the other implication are confusing and stupid,truly showing this is a kawazu game
