prophetik music Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 He wasn't talking about New Game+ but about games where you're forced to make choices that 'lock off' some of the other content in the game; for example Act 2 in Witcher 2 is completely different depending on the choices you make in Act 1 (Not just dialogue but actually a completely different base town with different quests) that makes more sense. excellent example. the new Tactics Ogre is similar to that.

Archaon Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 This sounded like a pretty bad thing. Then I realised I was getting Obsidian mixed up with Bethesda. This sounds like a pretty good thing. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Um. Besthesda >> Obsidian For everyone praising Fallout NV... that game was rubbish. It crashed twice on the PS3 and I sent it back. Didn't have an issue that extreme with Fallout 3 Alpha Protocol was also pure crap Hiring for a 2D artist made this sound like it could be good but I'm not so sure anymore Quote
Archaon Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 For everyone praising Fallout NV... that game was rubbish. It crashed twice on the PS3 and I sent it back. Didn't have an issue that extreme with Fallout 3 Oh DEAR oh NO the game crashed! For Brandon! THIS INVALIDATES EVERYTHING OBSIDIAN HAS EVER DONE. AND IT ALSO MEANS THAT BETHESDA'S GAMES ARE NOT SOUL-CRUSHINGLY BORING DROSS. APPARENTLY. Quote
Tensei Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 >Playing games on PS3 that have a PC release. Oh and I never had any gamebreaking bugs or glitches on PC with NV. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 People were mentioning how buggy Obsidian games were. So I did too. Alpha Protocol may have been fun, but the action was so slow that you and your enemy basically just walked awkward flailing circles around each other, and neither of you could shoot each other... I actually laughed out loud at it before I sent it back. Quote
Brushfire Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Can you please fix the grammar of the thread title? Please? Quote
Tensei Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Except buggy doesn't equal bad. There are plenty of great games that are very sloppy or unpolished (Metro 2033, Deadly Premonition, Witcher 1). Yes, it kinda sucks, but of all the things that can be wrong with a game I'll take bugs over pretty much anything else. Quote
suzumebachi Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 So the guy said he'd like to work on Chrono Trigger (who wouldn't?) and they have jobs postings (who doesn't?). Seems like a stretch to me. Quote
prophetik music Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 i think he's referring to the fact that it's rare for console games to have bugs that make them crash, whereas on PC it's relatively common. Quote
Avatar of Justice Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 A new Chrono Trigger not made by any of the original development team (developers from an entirely different nation at that)? Why would this be anything but incredibly depressing news? Quote
Tensei Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Yeah it has certainly never happened that another company taking over a videogame franchise improved upon it *cough*retrostudios*cough* Quote
Thalzon Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Can you please fix the grammar of the thread title? Please? Obsidian is not a singular entity, but a corporation made up of many individuals. The title is grammatically correct. Gecko does not make mistakes. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 *cough*retrostudios*cough* Can you provide an example? Yeah this is bad news if it was event rue. The Chrono Trigger team has split up long ago, some of them worked on the XenoSaga series, which is hit or miss, and some of them reassembled at Mistwalker for Blue Dragon that didn't turn out great. Also CT series = Very much japanese style RPGs. Obisdian's games = Very much western style RPGs. How would that even work? Not looking forward to anything from a developer with a history of making subpar games either. As much as I'd like some more Chrono games, at this point its looking like its going to be just shuffled off for licencing and not a through out sequel to the franchise. Quote
Tensei Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 DKCR salvaged the franchise after mediocre games like DK64, Donkey Konga, etc. Perhaps a bit more subjective, but the Metroid Prime trilogy was at least on par with Super Metroid and definitely did show that a team 'from a different nation' can handle a Japanese franchise. And it's not exactly like Japan did an amazing job when they got the series back. Define 'subpar' games. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Well, you have a point that they've done far better at emulating/making fun games then the parent companies that own the licenses today (the teams that made the games are gone) Improvements over the classics is a bit of a stretch though. Please dont have Team Ninja do anything, ever again, with a license they didn't create themselves lol Quote
Tensei Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 What does that even mean? How is Chrono Trigger considered a classic, but not Metroid or Donkey Kong Country? Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 CT, Super Metroid, and DKC are classics DK64, Donkey Konga, etc are not. Quote
ambinate Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Define 'subpar' games. apart from it being buggy i definitely felt that kotor 2 was lacking in terms of quality in the content that was there. i don't know if it's subpar in comparison to a lot of the other shitty games that get released every year, but it was subpar in comparison to the first kotor, which i think is relevant considering we're talking about them making a sequel to an established franchise. i haven't played any of their other games though so that could be an isolated experience Quote
The Derrit Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 CT, Super Metroid, and DKC are classicsDK64, etc are not. i hate all of your opinions ever. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Please dont have Team Ninja do anything, ever again, with a license they didn't create themselves lol Please hand in your testicles to the nearest hospital. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 i hate all of your opinions ever. Most people here do it seems. :/ Please hand in your testicles to the nearest hospital. See? Though I have to say: People liking DK64 and Other M are in the rarity than the norm. Quote
Benjamin Briggs Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Gecko does not make mistakes. quoted for emphasis Quote
The Phalanx Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Please dont have Team Ninja do anything, ever again, with a license they didn't create themselves lol From a technical standpoint Other M did just fine, barring the rather shoddy FPS segments. Could have used another month or two of polish and working out all the kinks. We know where to put the blame on Other M being a terrible game, and it isn't with Team Ninja. Quote
