Superman Returns had tight flying. They just didn't crack the nut of the rest of the game.

They had the right idea giving Metropolis the health bar tho. It's an amazing concept, an escort mission where your charge is a city. Sounds fun :heh

Sunset Overdrive would be kinda successful if it was multiplatform. I think that has a potential market. But that may just be the art style and "feeling" the game gives off to me.
The developer behind SO has been making mediocre to awful games for the last decade. Cant see what people are expecting here  :heh

Which makes the championing all the more baffling. This is from the developers of FUSE and Ratchet All 4 One... How could anyone reasonably be excited for this game, when all you see people say about it is "the art style is nice"?  ???

Somebody should take another crack at a Superman game, building off what worked in Returns. Especially since we've had stuff like Batman, Saints Row IV, Infamous, etc. all kinda show that superhero games don't have to be totally dumb.

Go to Apokolips and stuff, fight Doomsday to the death, rescue more kittens, etc.

Returns was almost a launch game, it was on Renderware ffs

And they wasted time doing PS2/Xbox versions (which still have the sweet flying even if it's ugly):

It'll never happen but I'd love to see the devs of bayonetta get a chance with it. I think they could nail it.

So the sad sight of Nintendo fanboys pretending to be extra excited about Bayonetta 2 continues. I wonder how many of them will actually buy the game, not just pay lip service and use it's great review scores in their forum battles.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=911321

I'd probably try Bayonetta if I had a X360/PS3 or 2 if I had  Wii U.

But I love how reviews suddenly matter because the scores are so high. The metacritic average is even in the damn thread title! I've been browsing GAF for at least 10 years and I've rarely seen that.

So review scores don't matter if your beloved, hyped-to-oblivion game isn't getting the ratings you wanted it to have, but do when the ratings are higher than expected. :snoop

Bayonetta was a FANTASTIC game on the 360. I heard it had issues on the PS3.....unsure how it perfoms on the WIIU but I assume it will be aligned with the XBOX's performance level.


Man I loved that damn game.

Man, there's no excuse for not picking Bayo 2 up if you have a Woo.

2 is apparently pretty solid, and 1 is an improved port over the 360 ver. Both are packed to the gills with content, like other Platinum games, and packaged/sold for the price of one. The value is insane.

... Now, imagine picking this up for $20 during the holidays. :lawd

I totally expect the game to be mediocre, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be marketable if it wasn't tied to the albatross that is the X-box.

It's the same with the PS4. Outside of like Uncharted and maybe Infamous, there's dick-all "exclusives" to fuck with on either console.

Insomniac fucked up by going multiplatform with Fuse and focus testing that to death to where no one wanted it. Sunset Overdrive actually had some "hype" from people until it was revealed to be X-box only (after the X-box DRM fiasco), that fucked them completely.

That's the other problem it has. It's going "try hard" so far. If the gameplay actually spoke for itself instead of all those marketing videos that don't even show off the game (and show off "Fizzy" more) it'd probably would get hype.

This I disagree with, completely.

I started supporting #GamerGate because of the "Gamers are dead" articles. To me, Gamer is more than a label. It's a banner that people unite under, because of a love of videogames. It's the idea that differences in race, gender, social status, wealth, etc. faded into the background, because we were all just gamers.

Seeing those articles saying that gamers are dead, and that "now you babies have to accept women into your boys club" was incredibly frustrating, because it feels like no one understands what Gamer actually meant.

So I found like-minded people, who too thought Gamer was just an inclusive term we could unite under, and they fell under the tag #GamerGate. Any of the people I've talked to in the #gamergate tag have shared these views. Seeing people say things like the above just reignites that feeling of "what? No, you don't understand".

It's frustrating, and I think that's how boogie feels too. Being misrepresented is such an incredibly frustrating feeling. Being told that you ARE a misogynist when you were only joining a cause to fight back against the specific people who told you that what you believed in was wrong was such a massive shock to the system.

It still bugs me to hear it now, because that isn't why I, nor many people I know, joined #GamerGate. That's why many of those people have stuck with it for so long.

To be fair though, things have gotten incredibly gross. I stuck around for a week before I decided I didn't care what a bunch of websites I never visited thought of me or my ideals, and I kind of felt dumb for my knee-jerk reaction. I know a lot of people on the #GamerGate side who are coming to that realization slowly, and a lot of people who actually believe in the ethics stuff, are getting sick and tired of having the "movement" co-opted by political parties.

I've went back on twitter and tried to inform people essentially what Boogie's video was, that "if you don't agree with it, don't give it traffic", but people are struggling with that.

I also feel that's why Boogie is so strongly defending #GamerGate, because he feels the same way I did/do. Gamer actually MEANS something to us, and when you attacked it, we took up arms under a banner (misguided as it may be) and took a stand against that BS. He is / was sticking up for the people who are idealistic, (even naive, I guess) because he had the same reaction we did, and he doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.

People who are doing the harassment, and the ZQ stuff? Gross. Super super gross. I haven't actually witnessed anyone I know participating in harassment, but it's the internet and people can be whoever they want whenever they want, so I don't know for sure if they are / aren't active participants.

I'd have to have you explain what you mean with GT. In GT the sim can basically be dumbed down to "buy racing softs for better grip. Buy all the engine upgrades you can and then tweak it." I can't recall an instance in Forza where buying two or three upgrades would suddenly make a car god-like. But :yeshrug

Granted, I haven't dived into either series nitty-gritty tuning options but "out of the box," driving in Forza felt better on controllers and racing wheels than GT's. You could "struggle" with the AI but with some nice driving beat them with a stock car. I can't remember doing that in GT outside of the first two or maybe three.

Stuff like this. I can predict the car better because I tweak the shit out of my cars from ride height, camber, suspension and all that shit no one touches. When I tweak things in there then go on track it's rare that the car doesnt perform as I set it up, it will lean right, over/understeer right etc. It doesnt do weird no body roll floaty shit like this.

I disagree, GT racing feels a lot better and I can predict how my car behaves a lot better than Forza. I dont want to get too into it, but if we're talking gold  standard then imo it's Geoff Crammond GP4, what a game :lawd

I'd have to have you explain what you mean with GT. In GT the sim can basically be dumbed down to "buy racing softs for better grip. Buy all the engine upgrades you can and then tweak it." I can't recall an instance in Forza where buying two or three upgrades would suddenly make a car god-like. But :yeshrug

Granted, I haven't dived into either series nitty-gritty tuning options but "out of the box," driving in Forza felt better on controllers and racing wheels than GT's. You could "struggle" with the AI but with some nice driving beat them with a stock car. I can't remember doing that in GT outside of the first two or maybe three.
Stuff like this. I can predict the car better because I tweak the shit out of my cars from ride height, camber, suspension and all that shit no one touches. When I tweak things in there then go on track it's rare that the car doesnt perform as I set it up, it will lean right, over/understeer right etc. It doesnt do weird no body roll floaty shit like this.

That body roll was first introduced in GT6 wasn't it? I have GT5 and I can't recall the car "sway"ing like that in third person.

But yeah. I'll side with you in that regard because again: I haven't dove into the tweaking settings too much to accurate say. I just prefer Forza's driving model mostly because it's possible to use a controller or wheel to play it. Whereas GT has been pushing more toward wheels-required type of gameplay which is fine if you have a wheel, but terrible if you're buying the title for casual "sim"-like racing.

Yeah GT5 had stupid body roll, everything was a 4x4 that weighed as much as a tank. But body roll is just an example, mostly what I like about GT is the driving model works. I tweak, it behaves like I expect.
