Nintendo Gaming / Weirdest Side Quest

« on: February 11, 2003, 03:50:37 PM »

Well i wouldn't call it a quest, but i have spent over 30 minutes beating the invincible chickens....... it was fun.  By the way, big Invader Zim fan too, assuming that is where your dumb as a moose thing orientates from.  You should check out Vasquez's other works too, which include Jhonny: The Homicidal Maniac (one of the best series of books ever), Squee which is very funny, I Feel sick nicest of all his drawings, and possibly the worst comic ever made on purpose, whose name escapes me at the time.  Anyway, thats all i could think of at the moment.

Oh, and on my previous post, i don't mean like Link is really in a tube (refering to Matrix comment), i just mean like he believes the world has problems, but nothing big.  Though this is a depressing example, i believe it to be the best metaphor.    
We always thought terrorism existed and that it happened alot, but we never thought that somehting as large as Al Quida was out there, in every country.
Sorry to bring up terrorism, but it seemed to follow what i am saying.

My 2nd reason for a double post is i am interested in Link's character design, characters like Gandorf and Zelda could dress very modernly, but link is another story.  Do we keep the tunic.  This is also where i believe a story line would come in.  Make the triforce much more important than it was.  WE know there is religion behind it, so make it a world order.  But bigger, and that is where the whole "Use Link to pull out the Master sword thing would come in.  By the way we could have it really rusted, then done over to a futuristc sword, like someone said in an early post.  The "tunic" could be part of the seremony, it doesn't have to be the same tunic, but a tunic none the less(green of course).  We could even see some new make overs to it, gold trim and stuff.  Heres what i really like though, lets give him so awsome boots.  We could have a grazity effect which would let him walk vertically or upside down, and his here would fall towards the floor.  Also maybe we could do some "dash attack" stuff like a better version of the boots from LttP.  One more thing, he always has something to help him and explain stuff, fairies fortune tellers, owls, so I say give him a futuristic forearm band, theres your grapple hook right there.  And upgrades will alow it to lift boulders and stuff.  OK i am done, i wanna hear some feed back.

I also think it would be a nice direction to see Shiggy go to.  We know he at least HELPED with Metroid prime, so he can work with a space atmosphere, but i would be intrested on his take to the whole thing.  The reason he has made all the previous games just "jump" in was his all famous motto of a game that anyone can play, simple but fun.  In that sense you could eliminate all the story.  However I believe that the game is heading more story anyway, look at WW, we've all heard the boasts about the face expressions and how it will actually be emotional.  That is the kind of thing i believe story enhances.  I rember playing OoT for the 1st time and my favorite things in the whole game was Link descovering his true past.  That is the kind of feeling i would like to see in a new Zelda, where the main "Link" believes all these false pretences and is suddenly hit with reality "sorta like Matrix but not on such a grandoise scheme, more like naivete".  Of course i dont think the game should open with this huge story then let you go.  One would have to incorporate it slowly into the game, to both draw us in and let us feel as if we are part of this world, being just as surprised as the main character.  I know Miyamoto-san likes simplicty, but i would like to see how far his creativity goes.  (And lets face it, a future mario just wont cut it).

OH holy zombie Jesus, that is what he needs to do, ditch the woods and "lava, ice, water, forest" levels, and lets see some nice future design.  Have Link be trapped in the land like you said, untill the triforce was once again harnessed through the powers of evil, or even better, have it that there is a child born named link who carrys on him a destiny.  IMAGINE THIS............. CGI VIDEOS FOR ZELDA.  I AM TALKIN WALKING INTO HUGE ROOMS LINED WITH SCROLLS AND STUFF WITH CRAZY LIGHTING EFFECTS.  I would cry so happily.  Maybe the organization after the triforce knows of links importance before he does, and they need him to pull out the master sword, and when he does, the knowledge of all things Zelda goes into his mind.   Now we are talkin plot here.  And the bad guys could be ANYTHING, robots, aliens, the organization can even do a second "mirror link" through cloning.  That is what i want to see.  Now i have myself all wqorked up.

General Gaming / HAVE YOU SEEN PSCYONAUTS

« on: February 07, 2003, 08:32:18 PM »

Talk about a cool game, its for "The X" by the way, you are a kid who was raised in a circus and worked with the acrobats (where he gets his cool flippy moves from) and at the fortune tellers (Where he learns to harnest his psycic powers).  One day a group comes and takes you to a summer camp for training people with psycic powers(a very cheesy camp by the way).  You awake one morning to find out that everyones brains have been stolen.  To get then back you must(and this is what is cool right here) enter the minds of the mentally... ahem..... disturbed and play through there worst nightmares and paronias.  On top of that the visual style is very cool too, if you have ever seen anything by Jhonen Vasquez you will know what i mean.  He did Invader Zim, Squee, and Johnny: the Homicidal Maniac.  Check them out.  Anyway, i hope this has turned you on to the game, but by gamecube games first *wink wink.

General Gaming / So... who's into Orta?

« on: February 07, 2003, 08:23:52 PM »

All I know is the more you beat, the more you get.  I am a Panzer fan big time.  I believe it redifines the "shooting" game in alot of way, and they are all good too.  And there is a sequel for questioners on that fact, at the end of the games it says that "While this legend has ended, a new one prepares to unfold.  Love the bad guy by the way, such a cool character design, that and i love the place Orta follows him to, i believe it is the most visually stunning game, not for its realism, but just the whole fantastic world they present to us.  I almost cried at how cool the "Floating Island Creature" was.

wouldn't it be funny if it was Zelda party or Zelda Kart...... probably not, but i can promise it wont be cel-shading this time, i read it some where or another that he wants to take the series into a NEW direction.  (Maybe Link will replace captin Olimar in Pikmin 2),  anyway, like any person who calls themselves a gamer i have faith in Miyamoto-sama.  Great faith.  by the way, the demo is in stores for your playing enjoyment, i have spent 10+ hours playing THE DEMO IN THE STORE, by hour 8 i was getting weird looks.  Anyway, I can't wait to finish this new adventure, Love the anime look by the way, reminds me of the production team behing Spirited Away and Mononoke Hime.  If anyone knows anything about that fat plumers next game, i would like to hear to.  Arigato.
