So, they're making a new Bomberman for the 360 right?
Well, being that its on the 360, it has to be all mature right?
But why would they make Bomberman all 'mature'?
They wouldn't be that dumb right? I mean... it's bomberman!
Oh, how silly...
Post by: JonLeung on February 15, 2006, 04:46:03 AM
Is this THE Bomberman, like the Hudson Soft one?
Oh, the blasphemy! Where's the cute big-U-shaped-eyes? ;_;

Almost every "realistic" and "mature" game is so generic and crappy that its laughable.
However, look at these supposedly cartoony character games, and you realize that more depth, game design and character is placed in the game than all Xbox 360 games combined. (Ok, sorry for my biased.)

If Hudson is suffering low Bomberman sales then maybe they should stop making so many Bomberman games. After Saturn Bomberman I've lost track of them all and overexposure is probably what's hurting them, if there's any sales problem at all.
Part of the charm of Bomberman is the goofy cutesy style. If you don't like Super Bomberman then you're probably not going to like Bomberman period. I doubt anyone who isn't a fan of Bomberman now would become one because of this. In fact this is probably going to turn away fans in droves.
Has there ever been a situation where a series sold out and totally retooled itself to be "extreme" and "edgy" and it paid off? For pretty much anything that seems to be the last act of desperation before it dies. I've seen successful slight reinventions or "back to basics" approaches work but I can't think of any time a successful franchise totally rehauled it's look in such an obvious sell-out way and it paid off.

Oh, great. Returning to "roots". That's just crappy box art. If that was the case, I wouldn't want Mega Man returning to his roots...and turning into a slouching 40-year-old with a gun.
I'm sure you've all seen the original Mega Man NES box art so I don't need to explain myself.
When I found an import game rental store near West Edmonton Mall about a decade ago (has it been that long already? o_0) one of the games I rented more than once was Super Bomberman 3. Man, I loved that game. I liked the first two, sure, but 3 embraced its anime-look to the max and wasn't old yet like with Super Bomberman 4 and 5...

Though Giga Bowser, a boss in SSBM, looks way more menacing and with the so-called "mature look" than The Monitor, the boss of Halo, a cute little flying robot eye, who likes to flit around, making narcissistic comments while humming. How stupid.

Bad music and the word "Zero"
Please explain to me the usage of 'zero'. There is no story to bomberman that anyone actually follows, there is no need to do a prequel.
My favorite part of all this, however, is that the actual in game graphics just like like the SNES game with the brightness turned down.

Anyway, that'd be a real shocker for anyone who plays this game, wouldn't it? Him ending up all cutesy and all.
The OC Remix called "Bomberfuzz" (I think) really captures the essence of what Bomberman SHOULD be...a high-pitched crazy guy who screams a lot and throws bombs and is yet somehow cute while doing it.

Post by: Ian Sane on February 15, 2006, 12:06:31 PM
Sample dialog from the ending of the game:
"Scanners indicate the substance is LSD. Well it won't hurt to give it a try. Whoa I feel strange I... CHOBITA*!!!"
*CHOBITA is my attempt to spell out this weird voice sample from one of the Japan-only Super Bomberman games. By brother downloaded the roms for all five of them and one of then plays that sound every time you start a new match. Another one I like is "BY HUDSON CO!!" which is what I think it says when the Hudson logo comes up.
Post by: JonLeung on February 15, 2006, 12:13:01 PM
I like the character named Honey (Super Bomberman 3 and up) who goes, "Honey!" (maybe she's pretending to be a Pokémon but she's a cowgirl) and one of Bomberman's winning phrases sounds like "I'm Batman!"
QuoteI think he's saying "By Hudson Soft!" (nitpicking) but because of his cutesiness and/or Japanese-ness, it comes out sounding like "BYE HUZZA SOFF!" or something like that. Too cute!

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Super Famicom games (Super Bomberman 3-5), but the cute character Honey, who somehow has the same abilities as Bomberman but dresses like a cowgirl, would probably look like someone out of Rumble Roses.

I can't think of one, ever. Even Gabe from Penny-Arcade mentioned that this kind of thing was ridiculous and ruined Prince of Persia 2, pointing out that superheroes did this for a while where every superhero became dark and edgy and it eventually came full circle and everyone realized how awful it was.

But I've always seen Batman going all dark more as a "back to basics" approach. The writers had lost sight of what Batman originally was: a vigilante who got revenge for his parents' murder by fighting crime. Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns doesn't seem out of character. In the story Batman still doesn't kill anyone in cold blood when he knows he can stop a criminal using less drastic means. He still has the same costume and the same villians and the same motivations. If DC comics used the approach we're seeing here Batman would have become the Punisher. The Knightfall storyline where they introduced a new Batman is more like what we're seeing here and that didn't take-off.

QuoteI don't think you'd call this selling out or going Xtreme, but Ocarina of Time is more "adult" than previous incarnations of Legend of Zelda. Majora's Mask is darker than Ocarina of Time. And from what we know, Twilight Princess is going to be the darkest Zelda game yet.

I can't think of anyone who thought Ocarina of Time was out of character or selling out. Well not until Wind Waker came out and apologists decided the revise their opinion of Ocarina of Time to defend the new look. Wind Waker is the only Zelda game I can think of where people were shocked when they first saw it and it certainly wasn't because they thought Nintendo was selling out. The worst you could say is that Zelda has gradually gotten darker but it was never a bright cheery game and the transition has been pretty smooth. It's always been more serious than Mario for example. A Zelda sell-out would be the cartoon show where they gave Link an "attitude".

You know, the Zelda in the cartoon was cool. She seemed more capable of taking care of herself, which I guess made sense because Link was sometimes a doofus. Sure, Zelda can fight, as seen in SSBM, but I don't think it's the same.

Even in WW, the storyline was very serious, despite the graphics being cel-shaded. I think Zelda is and always has been its own game for so long that there's nothing it could do to "sell out", short of giving Link a gun.

I think I'll choose the later.
God though, Hudda-san, you guys shouldn't make us have to choose like that.

I mean, in all seriousness, why couldn't the game be the normal bomberman character design, but with enhanced xbox live multiplayer, etc. I think it would still be a killer app. Instead we get this, which is basically them saying that their fans are too stupid and self concious to play a game like bomberman so 'we have to make it hardcore.' 'Furthermore, we better add a first-person view because thats what all the hardcore gamers truly want!'
It's not so much that they did it, but more their intentions behind it.

I've also noticed something else. Both series were once incredibly popular but have been rehashed and milked to the point where they're totally unessential now. From a creative standpoint they're finished and the only reason to continue with them is for a quick buck. The redesign is obviously to rekindle interest in something that's been stale for years. So maybe they should just stop making so many sequels and make some new stuff. Hudson in particular has got like nothing right now. They make Bomberman and Mario Party and both series are DONE. Actually they're overdone. They're like lumps of coal.
If the Xbox fanbase doesn't want Bomberman then don't waste time and effort giving them something they don't want. Make something new and interesting. Hudson should make some sort of ultimate Bomberman game with online play for the Rev and PS3 so that everyone can play 10 player online Bomberman and then call it a day.

And would you rather them not translate it for American audiences so we miss out on another good game? (Sin and Punishment comes to mind)
Post by: Ian Sane on March 02, 2006, 08:04:49 AM
So if this Bomberman game is specifically designed for people who don't like Bomberman then it makes no sense to have the Bomberman name on it because it has no selling power for the people the game is for and people who do like Bomberman won't like this game.
Post by: KDR_11k on March 02, 2006, 08:23:42 AM
Metroid was very simple and underdeveloped when it came out (with frustrating gameplay flaws and a severe lack of items), its sequels made massive improvements and eventually netted us the best game on the Gamecube.
Zelda was mostly already developed but still lacked some things that made later Zelda games great (like proper puzzles and some items). Second best game on the GC.
Bomberman was already Bomberman when the first game was released, all subsequent changes were pretty minor and to this day the formula hasn't changed much.
Megaman, same story. Megaman 1 was developed very far, included many mechanics and would pretty much hold up today. Not much development thereafter.
So imagine what an E.T. game would be like today
.
Post by: Ian Sane on March 02, 2006, 08:44:37 AM
That makes a lot of sense though I think that also combines with the rate sequels are released. Mega Man had six games on the NES so it got burnt out fast. There were five Super Bomberman games released in Japan. On the Turbo Graffix 16 Bomberman games were annual like Madden (Bomberman '93 for example). Metroid would probably not be as essential today if Nintendo released annual sequels for it.
Though Bomberman and Mega Man are two games that need little refinement after the first game. Combining that with rapid fire sequels is pretty brutal. I guess the moral of the story is if you nail it the first time wait a few years between sequels. Super Mario Kart nailed the formula pretty well but Nintendo has managed to make the series last longer by only offering one game per generation.
Though the two might be related. It's easy to release rapid fire sequels when your game is pretty much already perfect as is and you just have to make up new levels. With something like Metroid the natural desire to improve on an imperfect formula is going to force longer development time between sequels and likely a wait for better hardware. I have noticed that Nintendo has been much more frequent with the sequels in situations where the formula has become fine tuned.

EA should have everything under their list. If it's successful EA milks it until it dies. Practically every series they have is on an annual release schedule. Remember when a new Burnout game was actually significant game news?

Actually, they're up to the 11th game now. I'm one of the millions of players who play the game. Romance of The 3 Kingdoms is based on an extremely popular novel in China; guess where this game gets all it's sales from?

Anyway Konami is pretty notorious for milking franchises!! How many Yu-Gi-Oh! games do they release a year? EA may have 12 month cycles but Konami has a 30 day cycle when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh

We could download patches or expansions for these minor tweaks/releases and that would give development houses extra time to develop TRUE sequels. Most people dont mind paying for expansion packs (of course expansions packs would have to be significantly cheaper than buying a brand new games).
Still id rather see less sequels and more original titles. Im definately looking forward to seeing what suda 51 is cooking up for the revolution. Killer 7 is by far my most favourite original IP of this generation.

I forgot about Yu-Gi-Oh. And by that I mean I forgot that Yu-Gi-Oh has any relation to videogames whatsoever. Ever read a review for those games? The reviewer's always like "The manual doesn't give me any idea how to play! What the f*ck is going on?!!" It's like you just have to know how to play. It's a secret completely unknown to those outside the Yu-Gi-Oh fanbase.
God that show sucks. I can't get into any show where the villians all follow the rules of some game that everyone universal agrees to. "Oh no! If I lose this game Joey will be forever banished to the shadow world by this evil dude I'm dueling. The idea of just, you know, taking a gun and shooting my opponent in the face to save my friend never occurs to me." "Curses, this little kid beat me and now I can't banish his friend to the shadow world for this card game I am playing somehow prevents me from just being an evil bastard and banishing him anyway."

I think the DS could really do Yu-Gi-Oh some justice. Konami could release a wifi enable game where you can actually trade cards from person to person and they could have expansions for the games for new additional cards, arenas, ai...etc. I think those sort of battle, tradining communication games would really benefit with the online services Nintendo are now able to provide them.
Hell Konami could even take a page out of the MMORPG development guide and have a card shop where you are able to purchase cards online to add to your decks.

*cough*Castlevania*cough*
with Yugi even lighting people on fire using the hairspray/lighter combo.
Well, Yugi always has a lot of hairspray on him obviously...
I never understood why Konami never tried to embrace online play with that series.
Those "online duel pass" thingies I see lying around in stores do suggest that Konami has not only embraced online play, they are billing people for it like an MMO.
EDIT: Ooops, wrong quote.
