BardicKnowledge Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 There is a lot more story, and some of it is pretty crappy. Marine isn't a good addition by any means. With that said, it's all skippable, and none of it is so long that you'll hate reading it just once. Quote
The Damned Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 So... Dementium: The Ward. Anyone else interested in it? Quote
JoeFu Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Tales of Innocence looks amazing. I think it looks better than FFIV Quote
q-pa Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 HOLY CRAP @ FFIV DS video! Aud Lang Sine (sic?) ? Quote
The Damned Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Bah. Wake me up when they have Chrono Trigger (near-direct port or new 3D remake). Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 The official FFIV trailer with English subtitles: Quote
Antipode Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Bah. Wake me up when they have Chrono Trigger (near-direct port or new 3D remake). If they try to recreate Chrono Trigger all they'll do is saturate it with all the crap I hate about Final Fantasy games and lose the magic that made it so good. No offense to FF fans. I think a port to DS or VC (ideally) is probably the best option. Quote
SirChadlyOC Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I think a port to DS or VC (ideally) is probably the best option. Yes, please. No other cinematics or cutscenes necessary. And I'm not sure there's much more room for "bonus content" either. Just the original, untouched, 800 Wii points. Quote
Effef Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Tales of Innocence looks amazing. I think it looks better than FFIV This looks really awesome actually. From what I can tell, the graphics look really good for the DS. Quote

Just the original, untouched, 800 Wii points. Nah. I want it on DS. Just put the menus on the touch screen (with basic touch control) and leave the rest of the game alone. Quote
SirChadlyOC Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Nah. I want it on DS. Just put the menus on the touch screen (with basic touch control) and leave the rest of the game alone. Yeah, that sounds good in theory. But once they put it on DS, they'd have to do other things to convince people to buy it for $30, unless they sold it for even more like FFIII (God forbid). So then after tweaking, the result would be extra dungeons added at the end, an easier difficulty (), lag in some animations, and big cutscenes that take 10 seconds to load. Maybe some new spells and combos. Sounds great and all, but I'd rather spend 800 Wii points than $30+. Then again, portable Chrono Trigger ... mmm tasty. More than anything, I guess I'm afraid they'd mess it up too much. Quote

The carts are roughly the same price as a game, sometimes up to a hundred bucks. Quote
JoeFu Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Never played Bangai-O before. From what I've read, it's been on the N64 and Dreamcast. I think it has a cult following or something. Anyways, it's coming out on DS trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDbdllvdvfw That video makes me want this game badly. Quote
Devyn Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Well, Square already said that they aren't going to release their games on VC - because they can make more money by doing remakes or repacking the old games, etc. In other words, Square sucks a big corroded nut sack. Quote

Either way you'd sacrifice a lot of sound quality, and there's two reasons that immediately gets rid of any reason I'd want a portable CT (obviously though if it were the only option then I'd get it anyway, but): 1. All the music would be muffled, tinny, and just bad sounding in general, and the music is extremely important to the mood in that game. 2. The sound for Luminaire would get screwed up! That's one of the best sounds in a video game ever. Quote

That's one of the best sounds in a video game ever. How would the music be muffled? The DS has excellent sound quality. I use it as an MP3 player, and it sounds just perfect. If there was anything I would be worried about with a remake of any game on the DS, sound would not be it. Quote

In other words, they're interested in profit? Hell, I'd rather buy a portable remake than a VC version - portables are the only way I got myself to actually play all the way through FF5 and 6, I just couldn't do it originally when I had the ROMs. I'd bet the same will happen with Chrono Trigger - if I could get it portable, I'd end up actually playing it all the way through.

I think the bottom line--if I'm not mistaken--is that SNES emulation on the DS is still in its infancy.See http://dev-scene.com/NDS/Emulators for a list of emulators and their progress. Quote

More specifically, Chrono Trigger doesn't run well and has issues with sprites freaking out during animation. I would imagine there are similar issues in all games. Quote
Ero Elohim Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Never played Bangai-O before. From what I've read, it's been on the N64 and Dreamcast. I think it has a cult following or something.Anyways, it's coming out on DS trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDbdllvdvfw That video makes me want this game badly. Oh shi- Bangai-O was goddamn brilliant. Basically, a staple-your-nuts-to-the-wall action shooter where you had a death machine capable of two different attack forms (I believe one shot faster, the other ricocheted off walls) and an infinite-use special attack. The catch to the special? It varied in power based on how many bullets there were on screen and how close they were to hitting you. Use it with nothing on screen and a piddly two missiles pop out. Use it when there are 30 bullets less than 4 pixels from you and it unleashes a 300-volley cascade of death to clear the screen. Couple that with the ability to fly in 8 directions while shooting independent of your movement, tons of enemies on every level, and enough zaniness to make Excel Saga look like a soap opera and you have BANGAI-O!! Do want. Quote
Drack Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Can't wait for Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword! Quote
The Damned Posted September 23, 2007 Author Posted September 23, 2007 I have come to the realization that there are too many DS games coming out in the next few months to afford. Is anyone interested in buying everything I own but my DS? Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 No lie. I totally forgot about all the DS shit I'm looking to buy while making my already mammoth list of 360 games I'm buying. I think I'm in trouble. Quote
JoeFu Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I think Zelda's out in like two weeks... Quote
