Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    there was a game that came out a bunch of years ago, where all it was was two 'human' models made up of a bunch of spheres, all on a white background, and you could articulate each part of the body - shoulder, elbow, pelvis, thighs, etc. to rotate them, or make them rigid or flexing, and you could try and beat the shit out of the other player - knock their heads off, break their arms off, all that

    it was super and basic and simplistic and awesome. anyone know/remember what this was called?

    Like, they haven't even improved it on any significant level aside from visuals because it would in some fundamental way alter the balance of gameplay, at least that's the dumb reason people give me for why the UI is so huge and shitty like the game thinks I have a monitor the size of a quarter.

    they're actually changing it all the time, though

    buffs and nerfs are frequent and new characters are always being added

    The new characters are just old characters that they haven't gotten around to adding yet.

    There are under-the-hood differences that you wouldn't notice if you hadn't played both games. Chief among them being that it runs on an engine that isn't butts.

    there is a reason a bunch of games industry folks play it and not league

    brad isn't going to talk about the people he knows who play league because he doesn't care
    Except the other GB guys have said they know lots of Game Devs that play Dota?

    It seems to be pretty popular among dudes in the industry.

    you cannot extrapolate "these guys play dota" with "they do not play league", nor can you imply that there is a reason that game devs prefer it

    you do not have the data for that and it is game war nonsense

    but saying "all they're doing is porting over old characters and not changing anything!" is factually incorrect

    So if you have a Wii U, apparently the demo for Resident Evil Revelations is up

    I couldn't get over playing this on a 3DS due to the controls

    Curious how it'll be on an actual controller

    Regardless of needing to put over $1000 into my car next week I renewed my yearly subscription right away. When I bought a sub last year it was one of the discount ones so I didn't get the glorious thank you audio like I did this time.

    So I downloaded the Fuse, previously Overstrike, demo. It is pretty goddamn fun! Insomniac's love of crazy weapons is front and center which I always love.

    The best way I can describe it is a co-op oriented Uncharted with much sharper gunplay and cover mechanics.

    Give it a shot!

    It's getting some killer reviews, too. The lowest I've found is a 7/10.

    I'm kind of worried about Last Light because it just sort of happened all of a sudden without any fanfare.

    Like, I knew it was coming at some point and then now it's out and I saw virtually nothing about it in the interim.

    That and the whole "studio getting sold" bit.

    I was skeptical about it from the jump because I thought "There's no way a game like 2033 can get a faithful sequel"

    By all accounts, it lives up

    The RE Revelations demo is pretty rough

    There has to be somehow, someway, someone will make an RE game with sensible controls

    Resident Evil 4 was serviceable.

    Maybe it's different for someone who got pretty far in the game in professional/play through like 8 times on normal.

    Because I still really love RE4.

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    Also Dead Space 1 has an almost identical control scheme to RE4.
  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Chareth Cutestory Lawyer of the SeaRegistered User regular
    At the time, I was amazed. I bought a Cube specifically for RE4, I was that hyped

    I went through it a bunch of times, and then again when the PS2 version hit

    But control in other games evolved, and Dead Space happened

    When I picked up the Wii version, I was pretty put off by the controls

    By the time the HD versions hit, I bought it and immediately regretted it. I just...can't play with those controls anymore

    I was completely fine with how Revelations controlled on the 3DS.
  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I can see you point with the wii version.

    Because fuck the waggle.

    My accuracy went down like 20% with that POS.
