I sure hope so.
I live in Hawaii. I’m a hell of a way away even from the West Coast.
It’s like my only chance to have competition. Either this or I should find some anime-watching girls in my town who’ll like the aesthetics and teach 'em how to play >_>
[it’s only partly a joke because I saw anime girls actually playing GG competitively O_o Like IDK under 15 yo?]
I remember hearing something similar about 3S OE’s GGPO but most people thought it was worse.
Hopefully it’s true.
I actually kinda really considered this. Too bad I’m not into anime scene… Or any scene for that matter.
I know only one guy who owns console legally and can play on-line. And I don’t want to buy console for SG. So I should pray for Steam release and then try to get people INTO Steam and THEN into SG. Man. This is kinda intense. People here are so fond of pirating that I’m not really sure they’ll want to even BUY the game, not to mention LEARN it.
Third Strike was not “redeveloped” they just used the old arcade rom and stuck GGPO netcode on it. and all the new GUI stuff.
3S OE wasn’t even done that well really. They used the Dreamcast version as the basis and then just tried to input the arcade’s coding on top of that. If they had used the arcade rom it would have looked more like the PC version. Which meant the game was nowhere near as arcade perfect as it could have been. I felt the speed was closer to the arcade but there was so many other issues that it didn’t really matter. They didn’t even know the Dreamcast version didn’t have the arcade soundtrack.
Seth Killian and the gang just through out the whole thing during the development process of how they built the game ground up under GGPO which was supposed to make it work better than the PC version.
Either way, I have more trust in MikeZ/Revenge Labs especially since like you said…this is a completely new game built from scratch rather than trying to overwrite arcade code onto a console version of the game and adding GGPO with it.
Quoted for truth and grammar-nazism =]
Heh, on the urgings of dustloop’s SG forum, i looked at gelbooru for SG fanart. (nsfw!). Seems like theres quite a bit of japanese fanart for the game, which seems like a positive sign. Then again, there’s even Starcraft fanart, so it’s just Rule 34 I guess,
Peter was posting on japanese sites. He was saying that they are interested in the game.
I thought rule 34 was for porn…
Someone mentioned Bayonetta? Man, that game is awesome! One of the most fun gaming experiences I had this gen. I had like 150~ hours in that game, yet I never defeated the hidden boss, then I had to get a new ps3 so I lost my save =/ It was definitely the deepest combo engine I experienced in an action game. God bless Kamiya how I wish that man would make a sequel, you know what, time to bother him again about it. Especially now since I won’t have a DMC like 3 ever again.

Bayonetta’s character design is actually very feminine and less of a “fan service” than people think. I had girls over my house who were dying to play the game, a bunch played through the entire game, a couple replayed on the hard setting. None felt offended or anything, they truly enjoyed everything about her and her “sassiness”. Same with SG btw, I’m yet to find a girl who’s mad about any of SG designs.
^ ^
That’s what I thought. Bayonetta is fanservice IMO but not for men - it’s fanservice for girls. In a good way - like it make girl feel like she is a heroine. The same way Dante is embodiment of boys’ dream of being strong and cool. Bayonetta is doing the same thing for girls - let them feel themselves strong, attractive and independent. I think it’s a good kind of fabservice.
I think this is something girls should talk about… to say this about them yourself seems like putting words into the mouth of a gender group you’re not of (especially since the gender group we belong to is the one with the privilege).
(I’m under the assumption you’re a guy.)
Well you’re right of course. It’s just assumption on my part. But I think I have a right to speculate what fanbase devs were trying to cater to. The thing I was trying to say is that I get a feeling that game was aimed more at female demography rather than male and I don’t see anything wrong about that.
Few minor things bother me more than someone saying I can’t have an opinion on a matter just because I’m not A or B or in group such in such.
I don’t even have words. So here’s one; it’s ineffable.
You’re not a girl? You can’t have an opinion on stuff they like. You don’t believe in god? You have no say in theological arguments.
But yeah, Skullgirls will be awesome regardless of how well it does. Sexualization doesn’t equal sexism.
You also don’t have understanding.
Having an opinion on a matter is not the same as having an opinion on behalf of somebody else on a matter. There is a clear difference. You can have an opinion on the matter all you want, but you can’t pretend that your opinion speaks on behalf of those that the matter is related to.
This goes over the head of many guys on feminist-related articles/blogs all the time, and is ridiculously annoying.
If he had said “The game developers wanted to/intended to have Bayonetta… doing the same thing for girls - let them feel themselves strong, attractive and independent.” or “I think Bayonetta was trying to [do] the same thing for girls - let them feel themselves strong, attractive and independent.” it would have been him expressing what it seems or he thinks Bayonetta did in regard to the female gender.
But he instead said on the behalf of the female gender, that Bayonetta **did **do this and was successful at it.
No, try this:
You’re not a girl? You shouldn’t form an opinion that says **what **and why girls should/shouldn’t like something, unless you actually formed it via discussion with other girls, in which case you’re summarizing actual opinions of others in the other gender group (not pulling an opinion on females out of the inter-machinations of your male mind).
Get it, bro?
So um, that article on the front page…
yikes o.o
Listening to the Ask Dr. SubZero live show archive.
Shog was saying just show how fun the game is, show off all the fun things you can do, that’s how John Rockefeller started to like SFxT, someone showed off the game and how you can play it.
Yeah, I get that, it was just originally expressed in a very “alarm-raising” way.
X-type of fanservice is good because it makes girls feel X and X. Just a really male-centered comment that I would rather see modified to include actual female perspectives.
It slightly reminded me of privilege-absorbed (and even those just simply ignorant) dudes who come in and say stuff like “Girls shouldn’t/don’t feel offended by stuff like this, deal with it” or “Girls should like this because it does X” in various feminist related articles/blogs.
