reelmojo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Oh God this game is amazing. When DeeJay's stage first loaded up and Jose's remix started playing I had a huge smile on my face. Everyone involved in this should be proud. I feel like I'm wasting time posting when I could be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reelmojo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I never ever thought I'd become a Zangief player, but with these new changes I think I just might be. Also, I suck with Guile and I want to hear his ending theme badly. Again, guys the music is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Wolf Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The music is the BALLS, guys, some of the tightest work I've ever heard from any of you folks. Damn good stuff. In other news, this game hands my ass to me on EASY. I suck at fighting games, but the PS3 controller makes it REALLY hard to pull these combos off. I always found the Genesis controller most conducive to combo mashing personally, with it's nice round D-pad. But aside from the fact that it whips me like a little bishie, it's awesome. I hate to say it, but the game is disappointing for one reason, animation. Although they redrew the sprites, the number of sprites for each animation are the same. So the game ends up looking too jittery. There is no smoothness to any of the animation at all. I think that was very much on purpose. If the toggle switches are any indicator, there are players out there who have counted out every frame of every animation for their characters, and evidently your position or what button you're pressing during that frame can do anything from doubling the damage to making it unblockable. So changing the number of frames for the animations would obliterate years of geekery for the tournament players. I can't imagine knowing ANY game that well, but if they do, who am I to jack up their frame count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much knowing how many frames it is or the specific frame but just having a feel for doing the move(s). It took me many weeks to learn how to cancel Ken's (in 3rd Strike) uppercut into a fierce Shoryuken and then cancel that into his SAIII. And I think the PS3 controller is an excellent controller, at least for 3rd Strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filodemo Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 God this is considered good nowadays? OCR really has become a bloated monster... I like the part where the original artists that submitted their tracks to OCR on stuff like Blood on the Asphalt now get zero remuneration! It's almost like OCR is a company, except it's employees make no money. Good call. Seriously, kill it with fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filodemo Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I don't think people care whether or not they're paid for doing something they love. Money isn't everything. Spoilers: Capcom is making a metric fuckton of money out of a game released ages ago but the guys who submitted the music make no cash. That, my friend, is being a sucker. Instead of hiring a standard team of composers and arrangers, they simply went "community project" and skipped over the small detail of having to pay. That's pretty smart!

zircon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Well... OCR doesn't make much money from ads. Basically only enough to pay for things like shirt manufacturing and hosting. If anything, site staff, especially Dave, lose money by running the site (and certainly lose time.) It would have been nice to be paid for something like this, but consider that most of the music was written beforehand for fun anyway, and we didn't technically have the rights to do it. We ended up with AAA credits and the pride of being on an awesome game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so one dimensionally. Like I said, money isn't everything. And being a dick on a forum isn't going to get your point across any better.

I-n-j-i-n Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Shame that Capcom still gets the lion share of the actual credit when it is such a fan-effort. I'm almost shocked at how good it all is when all that is considered. Though it'd be nice if they find time to patch its bugginess where the health meter and wins-markers freezes and music stops. Apparently both the PS3 and 360 versions have the problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoHamster Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think it's great that all the guys off OCR have got themselves a 'foot-in-the-door' on CGMusic composition. Can't be a bad thing to have on the CV/Resume. Also it really shows the strength crop of talent that has come out of this community that their work is good enough for professional games companies. I think there's so much to take out of doing something like this besides re-numeration, although I'm sure all are worthy of it. I haven't heard a lot of great original CG soundtracks of late so can only hope that a lot of the great composers out of this site, who understand the canon of CGMusic and the importance of the link between it and what's happening on screen, end up scoring actual games in the future. PS Sixto nailed the *expletive* out of Ken's Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordBreaker Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Regarding the whole "getting paid" issue, I think it's an excellent decision for OCR to do this for free. First off, that builds up a very good relationship with Capcom in general. I mean, think about it...OCR does it for free the first time, and with all the heart and soul put into the SFII OST...that in turn builds up a huge possibility for Capcom to hire OCR for another project, this time from the ground-up. When that day comes, I'm pretty sure that OCR remixers involved will get paid for all the effort. Right now, I'm hoping that Square-Enix contacts DJP and zircon to remix music for the inevitable FF7 Remake on the PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
