Meeting with Dave today around noon. Ill let you guys know whats up.
One thing i thought about yesterday: in training mode, it would be nice to have the possibility to reset the recorded state and be able to record another one without having to go back to menu. Holding the record button for 2 sec for example.
Just got back from our meeting. Dave is a stand up guy, and I can tell he truly cares about getting this game right.
I don’t want to write a 3 hour long post so I am thinking to do a Skype call or something where I can talk about everything we discussed.
I’ll try to get that out asap…hopefully in the next 24 hours. If someone wants to help me out with recording something and have a discussion that would be appreciated.
I hope someone provides a transcript or some sort of summary of what was discussed.
we could make it another pherai podcast classic :clapdos:
yesss
waiting for jonny gloryhole to get home so we can do it.
Ohsnap. Those old podcasts, even CROYD said
for n00bs to try playing the computer on the highest difficulty. They block everything meaty and can show you punishes you may never expect. Really cool learning tool, gone from OE version.
THIS please
yes ditto
Can we do something about the scanlines, they’re horrible. Here’s the one from the emulator so much better.
if someone sends me the video, i’ll volunteer.
So did they give us an estimate on when this will be released? I can’t wait, if the online gets actually halfway decent I’ll play this a whole lot more than SF4.
Relating to this, Jesus Christ I tried to play with 3SOE’s scanlines, but they look so horrible they really made my eyes hurt when looking at the screen for a while. There’s some weird and terible color bleed effect which comes with the scanlines, kind of like it’s trying to simulate a very shitty CRT-screen, get that shit fixed IG, please.
There’s a bug that was present in the PS2 version which is present in PS3 OE (probably 360 too): sometimes down-back doesn’t register so you eat a low hit that you know you blocked. This is OFFLINE that I’m talking about, too. I’ll test it some more so I can provide full details of the circumstances but I thought I’d make this preliminary post in case anybody else had seen it and had more details. The PS2 bug annoyed me for years but I thought we’d seen the last of it when OE came along. I’ve never experienced this bug with arcade 3S so somebody post-up if they know it exists in arcade too and is a bug with 3S generally instead of console ports.
Also emailed IG a while back about a critical problem with PS3 3S whereby you can’t block encounters with players in lobbies and this leads to a locked OE menu where all you can do is quit the game and restart 3S. I’ll post more details upon request if this one hasn’t already been mentioned somewhere.
And yeah the ‘arcade cabinet’ looks fucking terrible, a bit of a slap in the face to how good arcade 3S actually looks in the flesh with a good CRT picture. Did the arcade cab that IG use for reference come from a rubbish tip or something?
Not just the cabinet view, even with all the normal settings + scanlines it looks crappy. But even if they did improve the scanlines option to the quality of PC, it still isn’t gonna capture the game’s aesthetic the way a real CRT does. Especially when the image is stretched like in that picture above. Don’t wanna be one of those cunts who tells other people what they should enjoy about a game, but why devote time and resources towards improving the scanlines when you could just go down to your local pawn shop and spend like, 5 bucks on a decent CRT that will make 3S look better than any monitor could?
I really don’t think improving scanlines or filters should be a priority in the patch. Personally I think the unfiltered sprites look beautiful, and for the best visuals you should be playing on an arcade style RGB monitor anyway.
fuck that, I’m on a hdtv with a really high refresh rate through hdmi. It runs alright. It’s not arcade but it’s not asus monitor crap lag. Then again I think it’s actually a plasma tv. I dunno anything about tvs.
i want thinner scanlines! I think they gave 640x480 scanlines and they get blown up by the resolution switch which end up looking thus.
thinner scanlines doesn’t make much sense my bro.
considering they’re just a filter added on top. they just need to be cleaned up. the look they did for it is just bad.
