Drawing straight lines is the simplest thing ever, its not about the line itself but the speed you use, if you draw it fast it will 100% recognize it.

And the direction of movement is a consecuence of camera placement and sudden changes, the games where this is more evident is in the Resident Evil series (not counting 4 of course), I personally never had any problem with it in Okami.

General Chat / Re: Why is nobody talking about the Olympics ?

Thats really ****ing strange. Why are they so obsessed?

Chinese people and their government have this huge inferiority complex. I read some article how they were completely distressed and worried when the japanese passed them in average height among the population for instance. The opening ceremony was for me further proof of this. It was awesome so I didn't really care anyway.


I watch the olympics for the sports that are meant to be seen, like synchronized swimming, or gimnastics, they do some pretty cool things, but thats about it, team and ball sports as well as athleticism events are just boring to watch.

No way, the music is hilariously fitting, and I pretty much hate rap with a passion!

Agreed, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for more than five minutes, I hope it's just limited to the trailer.

I like the new gameplay we are seeing, and the style is amazing, too bad it will sell mostly on shock factor but to be honest I don't care that much, stil the internet would be kind of unbearable regarding comments about the game and how "baddass" it is because its violent, well the joke is on them!

Any words at all of gameplay mechanics? We are still waiting for this amazing implementation of the remote for the console since its launch and at this point I think it will only come from a third party... ok there's boom blox but thats about it, I need to know how the hell is this game played.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo to Aggressively Pursue Latin American Market

« on: August 20, 2008, 12:49:58 PM »

xbox and playstation sound "cooler" and "edgier" though (however everyone I know still calls everything console-related atari), and the three consoles at least in colombia are priced practically the same.

the market is already there anyway, if it has grown it means people are shifting from piracy to legality which is very surprising to say the least. If Nintendo manages to lower the prices of the consoles and games they will surely win, sometimes is taxes over the imports the reason for high prices but I honestly think most of the time is Nintendo being an ass with its latin american costumers. Games don't even get lower prices with time, GC games still sell (legally) at above $60.

This thread has turned from an appreciation of a great film into an emo squabble, but it doesn't matter. Batman is cool, and iconic, and a lasting character in this World's history of fiction. After we're all returned to dust, the character of Batman will still be around because he clicks with people on a very base level. Hundreds of years from now there will still be Batman stories just like there are still stories of Hercules, King Arthur, or Sherlock Holmes.

woah there, I think you are getting ahead of yourself a tiny little bit...

A more complex game called System Shock 2 never existed years ago with far worst ****ty specs.

fixed.


You give too much credit to ten year old technology

[The bottom line is, if they port TP over to the Revolution, and are still working on a newer version, that will equate to a great business move-plus we fans get two Zelda's in two years.]

Im saddened of course, but the whole "Nintendo is doomed" speech is really getting old, somehow we internet geeks who spend time posting daily on forums like this know more about video game business that the most succesful company in that business?

The bottom line is, if they port TP over to the Revolution, and are still working on a newer version, that will equate to a great business move-plus we fans get two Zelda's in two years.

Please tell me why this is a better move than just putting the game out on the GC, which already has a set userbase?  Considering the Rev's backwards-compatibility, porting the game to the Rev would just be outright stupid...

Holy ****, this thread is like bizzarro dimension...

Of course back then I was absolutely sure the game would not get ported to the rev with stupid controls, I never would have imagine nintendo was that much more interested in money than quality and integrity, what a different kind of fanboy I was, something like the Wind Waker situation would have hit me in the head but no, it had to be this decision.

Looking back Twilight Princess did little to nothing for the console success honestly, all it did was pissed of GC owners with a week of delay and of course gave some of us the frustration and uncertainty of what the game would have been if it was an exclusive GC game, but  it went "without failure or glory" (as we say here) for the wii.

Yeah but the difference is...it doesn't have the oh-so-dreamy Leo DiCaprio in it, it has the...oh-so-dreamy Christian Bale. Am I ***?

You'd be *** if you didn't have a man crush on Christian Bale

I bet more people have seen TDK in theaters than Titanic - you've got to take into account the girls that went to see Titanic 10+ times while it was at the movies.

Like if there wasn't enough fanboys that are around their 10th viewing for TDK.

heh, ok the luigi custome is cool and fits with luigi's mansion theme, and I wouldn't mind suitless Samus if this was isolated, but is obvious samus is now nintendo's new bimbo to attract the losers of Japan to buy games, and the character is not what it used to be anymore.

If he didn't get an oscar for Brokeback Mountain I don't see why he should get one now. The sad thing is that he will probably get it.

Is this movie really so great?  It doesn't appeal to me at all.  I guess that makes me homophobic or something, but I just have no interest in it.

The movie is an acquired taste. But acting wise his character impressed me more than the Joker. Still, is a drama, and its really slow, so it's not exactly along what comic book fans like about Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. The cinematography is really great also. Definitely worth a look but don't expect anything beyond a "chick flick" to be honest, albeit a really good one.

So what about the controls? I've read they are horrible, I was ok with no use of the pointer but turning around by twisting the remote (you know like a screwdriver) instead of tilting it left or right seems the most retarded decision ever made.

Mask of the Lunar Eclipse's control scheme works -- you manipulate the characters with the nunchuk's analog stick, open doors and pick up items with the A button, access a map with the plus button, strafe left or right by holding the C button and moving the analog stick in the appropriate direction, run by holding Z-trigger and can perform a quick 180-spin by motion with the nunchuk or Wii remote.

However, in terms of capitalizing on the strengths of Nintendo's controller, we have to cite this game as one of the biggest missed opportunities in recent times, because it completely ignores the fact that the Wii remote has an IR pointer. Why, we have no idea, because as Ruka points her flashlight around darkened environments and focuses her camera on ghosts, we can't help but wonder -- time and time again -- why we can't control both quicker and more precisely using the Wii remote. Instead, the flashlight automatically shines wherever Ruka is looking (with the analog stick) and you control the camera obscura -- get this -- using a combination of the analog stick for left and right movement and Wii remote waggle for up / down movement. That waggle stuff also extends into standard game camera control. While Ruka can look around with the analog stick, all up / down movement is mapped to pulling back or pushing forward with the Wii remote -- which, by the way, feels retarded, not to mention slow. We've come to expect stupid controls like this from Wii-ignorant third-parties, but from a game published by Nintendo, it's just sad. (We really hope someone at Nintendo didn't step in and suggest that the controls be made more accessible. If so, we might just throw up.)

I don't know what part you're referring to with the twisting of the remote.

Are those IGN impressions? because after reading that I still have no idea how the hell the game is controlled. I read the other impressions at neogaf. Now I need the import impressions from NWR because everyone in the internet sucks at describing these controls.

bah now you made me wish for all variations of Samus suit that won't happen and will make me feel dissapointed.

Light Suit would be so awesome

 

HA! I knew it.

Still I was surprised they used the superior Prime models for the trophies. I'm still hoping there's a light suit one, with the dark suit being there I guess it's very likely.





Yes I haven't got all trophies, I don't care what you think of me as smash fan .

So, there's talk about Ledger getting an award for his performance in TDK.

There's also talk about not giving it to him due to his personal issues.

Thoughts?

I don't think he'll care either way.

EDIT for actual response in addition to my terrible joke:  I really don't see what his "personal problems" have to do with his awesome performance.  If the performance shines, award it.  It's not their job judge peoples' vices and personal lives, it's their job to judge their performance on-screen. 

I should also add that I don't know what award you're referring to, so I'm assuming a high profile Oscar type thing.

It wasn't terrible, I LOL'ed.

If he didn't get an oscar for Brokeback Mountain I don't see why he should get one now. The sad thing is that he will probably get it.
