  1. A little comment on the people trying to figure out where TP comes in the whole time-line...

    In the Fishing Hole shop, look at the left-most picture on the wall. The lady there will tell you that it's her ancestor, a legendary fisherman. Anyone that played the fishing game in OoT should recognize him as the guy from OoT's fishing spot.

    But then, she says that she's only says he's an ancestor, and it wishing thinking on her part. Nice of the writers to goof around like that.

  2. The last one was a cutoff point. There were several people that were not updating at all, and hadn't done anything since the project started, so they were cut and are no longer involved.

    The next deadline? Considering that there are holidays coming up and everyone has all kind of personal stuff... I'd say there isn't one for now. I'll consider another one after christmas. For now, just work on your remixes as you can and give us all updates on the project boards.

  3. Short, poorly done, and not worth the plastic it's made out of. Skip it. It's a poor attempt at using the screens, it's a poor attempt at making another Lunar game... I'm going to use the word "poor" a lot when describing it.

  4. I think it was something like 2-4 second loading times for Genji. If that's not zippy I don't know what is.

    Well, you need that speed, considering the incredibly complex programming that is required to flip the giant crab over and attack its weak spot for massive damage.

    I'm sorry. I had to. It's almost done being funny. Only a few more weeks and absolutely nobody will even remember it. Then it's done, I swear.

  5. I'm hearing rumors that Twilight Princess has DS functionality. Is this true? Does anyone know if you can do anything with your loveable DS with this title?

    I doubt it. Why would they take a game for the Gamecube, which can't connect with the DS, and port it over to the Wii, which can connect with the DS? They would have to add DS functionality along with the new controls and updated graphics. Yeah, there was that year-long hiatus, but still...

    The only point of such a feature would be one of two things:

    1. Being able to download an older games or a mini-game to your DS and play it portable (which is pointless, because there are three older Zelda games out for the GBA already). This could work, but the limited memory of the DS means only small games would be downloadable.

    2. Interaction of some sort with the upcoming DS game Phantom Hourglass. Which I think is still slated for a mid to late 2007 release. Sort of pointless to include it when the games ship over six months or more apart, don't you think?

    Considering the fact that Wii games can be updated via WiiConnect24, it's not too far-fetched. Alternatively, the service could check if you have a TP savegame and download a file based on that to send to the DS, or even connect to Phantom Hourglass, quite possibly by just asking if you have PH after the game comes out.

    Hell, it'd be a way to generate more sales: Your console tells you there's awesome to be found if you have a specific game by purchasing the matching game for your DS.

    That seems somewhat complicated for such a little bonus.

    Don't get me wrong; I'd like to see more use of console <-> portable connectivity, but I'd also like to see something actually useful done with it.

  7. Thanks to Elite Beat Agents (and the general suckiness of every other DS game I've ever played, I've come to the conclusion that Nintendo is a company that I hate.) So, after destroying my DS, I touched that screen like I really wanted to: with a screwdriver.

    So Nintendo, who only made the system, is to blame for the "sucky" games, even though they are made by third party companies. And they are sucky because the guy either couldn't play them, or they didn't match with his personal tastes.

    So he then decides to destroy the hardware, which he paid for (or received as a gift) and is now at a loss of the cost of the DS.

    This is either a rather well-thought up attempt to generate attention, or an indication of what kind of personal this guy is.

    On the other hand, even though he took a screwdriver to the screen, it's still mostly intact. Damn thing's made out of transparent Nintendium, after all.

  8. theyre there to give you something more to do in the game

    QFT & E. Having something to do after the main game is always nice. It makes you feel like you get your money's worth from a game, something I find is sadly lacking these days.

    Mind you, I have a few games that are around the 900+ hour mark, so maybe I'm just a little biased when it comes to playing past the main quest.

  9. I do have one, but it's still in the box waiting to be sold at 2 times the price.

    Considering the prices on eBay have been dropping lately, you may want to settle for only one and a half times the price.

  10. Also, give it time. Just as there were new ways to exploit the DVD to store more space in games, I don't see how having 25G on a disc can NOT be beneficial for future games.

    Cut scenes. Hours of them. If I wanted to watch shiny pre-rendered CG, I'd pop in a movie by Pixar.

  11. So Resistance is supposed to be 17.75GB. Well this guy found that a lot of is just padding. I heard they do this so the data is pushed to the outside for faster reading.

    So if this is true, Sony sure is full of themselves when they say Blu-Ray is the next gen of gaming.

    moon language or something

    You're going to have to explain that for those of us that don't read binary or whatever that is.

  12. I find the site incredibly useful for music sources. Almost the entire Pokemon remix project sources are from there, since in-game versions give you an exact idea of what it's like, as opposed to a midi, which leaves a lot out.

    I don't pay for music I download (in any way or for any reason), because it's free and legal under Canadian law. Canadians that pay for iTunes and similar services are getting ripped off.

    At first, I thought that youkai no unmei meant it was some sort of terrorist funding site or something.
