ocarina of time!!

Finally got around to Skyrim. So ridiculous.

Been re-playing FFX recently. 

Rocksmith 2014 on PS3 (really good!)
Replaying FF7 on PS1 (lol seriously)
Assassin's Creed 4 and Legos on Wii U
 

Is anyone playing this?

Should I get Resident Evil Revelations or Amazing Spiderman? Both the same price, which is better value for money?

I've been wanting to try out RE lately, haven't yet.

ff7 is trash. A weak, diluted copy of ff6 in every conceivable way:



that just happened to hit the mainstream jackpot because of the introduction of fmv. Had ff7 not had fmv's every 5-6 minutes, nobody would remember it. Xenogears craps on ff7 from orbit. Even though its only half a game, it still machine gun terds all over ff7. This is the game that began the path that sent Square to destruction. fmv's, fmv's
FMV's, no exploration, no gameplay, no substance, just flash. Is it any surprise games with no substance but only flash fell off into the gutter?

Trivia question.... What do FF6, CHrono trigger, and Xenogears all have in common, besides being among the best output squaresoft ever made?

They were all worked on by staff that would eventually leave square and form monolith soft.

Squareeenix will never make a comeback, because everyone who ever made anything great at square left, to either monolith soft, or one of Nintendos other golden age square soft staffed studios, or mistwalker, which is why squeenix are now nothing more than a cell phone smut peddler pimping out final fantasies carcass. And ff7 is the root cause of it.

LOL

Is it controversial to say that FF7 isn't the best RPG of all time? I wouldn't dare say such a thing but still.

Read about the history of homosexuality and understand that homophobia and heterosexism are very specific cultural constructs and not at all, not even close, human universals:

well if the wii u is the underdog, i'm rooting for the underdog. :-)

Just bought it.  Normally get multiplats for PC but I got it cheaper on Wii U.

whatdya think?

Finally caught footage of whats been meant by the 'dynamic foilage'. Culprit is once again, incompetent gamz girnoliz spreading misinformation by trying to talk about things they know nothing about.

The foilage doesnt respond to the player, it moves when the storm weather state is in effect. It looks pretty cool, but its definately not dynamic, its a stafic animation thats triggered by a state switch from a finite state machine.

So that means the same blowing animation plays no matter where the foilage is, or what direction the wind blows.

Its not dynamic animation, like what was used in windwaker.... back on gamecube, where every scrap of everything, from foilage, links cap, feathers, to the tassels on spears and water drops that fall off wet link etc responded dynamically to what direction the wind was blowing, or to actions that created wind, like bomb explosions, deku leaf, or sword swings.

But it does look pretty dang good. I also noticed a nice rain droplet animation playing on the groung during the storm.

Ironically, it was footage of the first xbone feed that actually showed this.

Ah, the added smoke effect to cannons firing is another nice touch. Its a lot thicker on xbone/ps4.

Another one is water on the deck animation when waves hit.

These are all very nice touches, but... They are all pre rendered effects and animations, theres nothing next gen here, in fact, a lot of these touches were actually done two gens ago, call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth for xbox (favourite survival horror game of all time) did the water washing over the deck during an awesome crazy level.. And some of these effects were even implemented better, not graphics wise obviously the textures resolution and poly count were worse, orders of magnitude worse, but cpu side things like the wind actually being a dynamic force that directly affected animation in windwaker back on cube.

These arent 'next gen differences', they are more.... Extra production time differences.

The wind blown plants animation, while slick, is canned, its a precalculated animation. The water on the deck is simply an animated texture that fades in when waves hit, and then fades out. The smoke is sexy, very well drawn and animated, bravo to the artists behind it, but its just good ol volumetric fog/smoke, something the 3ds excels at (it has a dedicated fixed function to do it). The rain on ground animation is very well done, but again, its nothing more than an animated normal/embm layer thats turned on during storms. Been done since gc/xbox.

While I do believe its more than ps360 can handle... Its not because its something they cant do, but ac4 is already bursting those systems at the seams, something else would need to go so one of those effects could replace it. Wii u easily has the ram to add these simple tricks, but, it just didnt have the time in the oven... And honestly, its better this way for me, i would rather have half the improvements than another late wii u version.

So, these added effects, although probably too subtle for many to notice are nice... Theres nothing next gen about them. In fact, its the exact opposite of what the poor clueless gam jirnoliz is trying to claim in the very video i watched. These ARENT what devs are talking about when they say next gen will be more about behind the scenes simulation that make game worlds seem more alive and interactive. These are just good old fashioned well known static, precalculated tricks added on top of an already great looking game. In other words, if you are really interested in the 'behind the scenes' simulation stuff that next gen will bring... You aint seen nothing yet, and that even includes wii u.

 don't know what you just said but yeah it's pretty!

I almost got it but it was too much money so I just got the third one.

This one seems like a better entry game...

Yeah I've been playing it now and IT'S GORGEOUS. I wonder what next gen 2.0 (if we're 1.5) looks like...

Seriously?

Yes i am looking forward to 2014. nintendo is claiming they have 3rd party content coming from the big publishers... I am calling BS. they are probably talking about lego games, and the next skylanders and disney infinity type games. Nintendo needs to stop the BS not one really big game for 2014(outside of watchdogs which will probably be sucky 360 port) has been announced for Wii U. it isnt a big deal for me because i can play through about 5 good games a year and be fine... so MK8, X, Smash 4, Bayo 2, and DKTF and i am good... but for those that want 3rd party support you are Fu(%ed.

well as a launch title i thought zombieu was really good - that's where i got my name from. ubi has done some good things for wii u so far. 

its much better than 360/ps3 and it also have about the 50% of weather effects, compared to ps4... Remember the raining and fog scenes? its a bit limited on wii U, but 360 and ps3, have none. I find it more competitive with ps4, than 360/ps3

i agree with you completely.

SM3DW . LOL

it took me a minute to decipher that funky code. then i was like OH DUH. yeah that explains things. :-p

getting the impression others aren't playing as much as me?//

Nope, with two kids and a wife....Christmas around the corner and stuff lik...hey wait.....christmas...i can ask santa to buy these games for them That leaves me with a little extra budget

2 kids + 1 wife = less gaming budget

:-O

I'm still waiting for it but in The Netherlands it launches on the 22nd .... The same day of SM3dW.... So that's a day 1 buy for me....so AC4 missed the moment and I'll wait for a budget release.

aww you can't get both?

Meh well I'm still pretty hyped for the game despite the delay.
