Title: Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: SuperLink666 on October 25, 2003, 08:41:20 AM
I was expecting this game to  be out already and we don't even know what type of game it is.


Zoonami website.

WHEN LORD WILL IT COME OUT? Thanks


Reason I ask this is because they have been around for 4 years and we havent seen anything! What is going on there?

The magic 8-ball says:

"Thine answers await at E3..."

But I'm sure you already knew that...

Ermmmm...  I just fail to see how a game can be this hyped when all we have seen is one HEAVILY censored page of the concept paper.

E3? I laugh at that because thats what everyone says. After E3 2003 about a week someone asked where is Mario 128 they said wait until e3


E3 was 362 days away!

I still love Nintendo's reasoning behind Mario 128's absence at E3 03.

"We're afraid that someone might steal our brand spankin' new revolutionary gameplay idea.  So we're not going to show it."

Luigi's mansion is shown -----> Blinx is made

Wind Waker is shown -----> Dark Cloud 2 is made cel-shaded as well

I think Ninty has enough reason to leave the game out until it's more polished...

It's a national past time of this industry to rip off revolutionary ideas and release your game before their's. While Nintendo's polishing it's original concept, some other company makes a cheap imitation and releases it in that time, which steals Nintendo's thunder away.

and why not? who says Zoonami have to conform to what the industry standards are? i say let them be secret, just think, the majority of bad impressions come from early screens/videos of games, mario kart was attacked for being too slow,  Wind Waker was slaughtered online because of its graphics, further along in the developement process and Mario Kart's speed issues have been adressed and is now sufficiantly fast, and well.. personally i never had anything wrong with the wind wakers engine, but now most people have played it either enjoyed it or found it too short/easy, only a few still have a problem with the graphics it has.

basically, Zoonami should release screens when they are damn well ready, when the game is near completion.

Considering that Zoonami is made up of only 7 members, it's obvious that the game will take a long time to finish...

They could just show ONE screenshot and make sure its at a really good angle and stuff so it doesnt give too much away, but still looks impressive.
Title: RE:Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on October 26, 2003, 01:17:29 AM
or maybe just say what genre the game is
for all we know this game might turn out to be crap
BTW there wasnt anymore info on Geist since E3 right?
Title: RE:Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: Dynamitega on October 26, 2003, 07:44:25 AM
Well, Nintendo does have a hard time describing genres in their games a lot of times as they tend to mix with a few or be a new one all together.

No info on Geist has been released since E3, you are correct.
Title: RE:Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 26, 2003, 07:56:06 AM
Since you want to know, it's most likely going to be an Adventure title...And don't bother asking me how I came to that conclusion...

Hoho, now, let's try to steer this thread back on topic- no more talk about creaming pants, mmmkay?
Title: RE:Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 26, 2003, 11:16:16 AM
The only game worth creaming over for me is Tales of Symphonia...

To be perfectly honest, I am not that interested in Geist yet, although I am keeping an eye on it.  To be fair though, I really don't like FPS games, and I usually like them less on consoles.

Baten Kaitos makes me pop a wood just thinking about it though.   Well... that and the thought of finding the dog tags in MGS: TTS.    Rooowwwrrr!!!

What's GameZero?  
Title: RE:Game Zero, where art thou?
Post by: mouse_clicker on October 26, 2003, 11:53:04 AM
If you're being serious, it's a game that Zoonami is making, which was founded by the former project lead of Goldeneye- I believe at elast one other ex-Rare employee works there, as well. Nintendo has been helping them make the game for a long time now and people are getting curious. All we really know it that it's not a first person shooter. If you were kidding, I'm going to feel really stupid.

i think so look at their site it tells all the people that are working on the game.. only like 10 of them too. No wonder there isn't much info yet but they've been working on it for atleast 2 years now probably 3.

Post by: Dynamitega on October 26, 2003, 02:29:42 PM
Yeah, lol... I had no idea.  All I knew about as far as exclusive FPS for Gamecube was Geist.
