Yeah the 7 minute game play video of Horizon is such a rip off the 5 seconds of Zelda Wii U footage we saw from the prehistoric art style to the scavenging parts off the mechanical animals right down to the part where the girl ripped off the mechaladon’s turret and shot its core all of it a complete rip off Zelda.

the Art style, that link is hinted at being female, shes using a bow (for fuck sake), the thing chasing her was mechanical, she shot it with a bow. jesus you guys are like a bunch of 18th century peasants being herded through the first museum.

how the do you manage to lift a fork to feed yourselves

Tell me, how does it feel? You know, to be a complete retard? is it as easy as you make it seem?

They say the man who copies a retard is a bigger retard himself.

That’s strange, because the man who copies a retard usually finds out truths of his state of mind.

What I found out about you is you’re still tranced at putting one foot before the other. Carry on

Looks like Mike Z’s next game isn’t a fighting game.

Holy SHIT did I just see the main man LORD AIZEN is in that sumbitch?! SOLD. It’s really all the info I need on the game right there. Any game that will allow me to play as that character is immediately alright with me.

There needs to be a game where you can play as the Clark Kent-looking Aizen as well as the Hueco Mundo edition…and yes…along with the Butterfly version too. Of course this would be a game where you’re just overpowered as hell and dominating the shit out of anything that dares to (foolishly) approach you in a threatening manner.

oh and then on top of that the game has Freeza. Yep, sold like a muthafucka. This game must be mine asap. I saw a large poster ad for it in a Gamestop a few weeks ago but forgot about it.

Darksakul · July 3, 2015, 8:06am

I would buy it.
I am glad Mike Z is being diverse with Lab Zero’s library

Another interview with the devs of LoZ: Tri Force Heroes

This time focusing on features of the game…and not trying to start a needless shitstorm.

Looks like the new version of the Phantom Pain E3 demo is being recorded right now…supposed to show up next week

Rumor: Nintendo looking to release 20 mill units of NX by mid 2016
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20150702PD204.html

Grain of salt of course…I thought this was really not feasible…but then I read this.

Iwata: Nintendo will continue supporting Wii U and 3DS when NX launches

Still rumor of course…but interesting nontheless…

Million · July 3, 2015, 8:40am

haha, are they going for that “this is a 3rd pillar…” line again? It will be extra hilarious if they use that exact phrase too… and of course, most Nintendo fans will believe it…again.

Zebster · July 3, 2015, 8:59am

It’s too bad about the audio though.

Davidstar · July 3, 2015, 9:00am

that cryptic countdown that everyone speculates to be related to the zero escape series (999, virtues last reward) ends tomorrow.
maybe the next game will be revealed?

Phantom_Angel · July 3, 2015, 9:08am

Yea, it sucks. No point in streaming this game if I can’t get sound…

XthAtGAm3RGuYX · July 3, 2015, 9:10am

During my time without a home internet connection, I bought two games to keep myself occupied. Wolfenstein: The New Order, and Record of Agarest War Zero. Wolfenstein was okay. If Agarest War was worth more than $6 I wouldve taken it back already. I just really dont enjoy that shit. I thought the whole “breeding with chicks in your party to make a stronger warrior as your child for the next generation” mechanic might be pretty cool, but I didnt make it that far. Can’t deal with it.

I really dont know what some people see in Just Cause 2 either. There is a single enjoyable thing in that entire game, and it’s Rico’s grappling hook. Unfortunately it isnt fun enough to carry me past a few hours of god awful voice acting, mediocre gun play, worthless driving, and absolutely stiff flying. Dont get me started on the fucking voice acting either. Every single person sounds like an English actor doing an poorly executed foreign accent. I really couldnt take that one chick purposefully mispronouncing “comrade” any fucking more. And how many time do I have to listen to a “technician” tell me to escort them inside of a facility so they can “hack into insert device here”. Repetitive and stale as fuck. The entire game.

If they polished up the gameplay and coughed up more than a few measly shekels for voice actors the game would probably be very enjoyable.

Dat PS4 Streaming.

DA FEWCHA IS HERE.

Phantom_Angel · July 3, 2015, 9:21am

My Google Fu told me that the devs may have blocked the audio when recording gameplay… Such bullshit.

Edit: I’m test streaming FFXIV and the audio is fine.

Infernoman · July 3, 2015, 10:05am

Nintendo will drop whatever is the weakest of the 3 pillar technique they’re doing again. This happened I realized 10 years ago! At the time, there was doubt in the DS but because it succeeded, they dropped GBA soon after. Could the 3DS fall in the coming years? Place your bets now!

DukeC · July 3, 2015, 10:16am

Not with Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Monster Hunter being system sellers it isn’t.

Infernoman · July 3, 2015, 10:28am

Yeah but if people can get their fix on a phone, well then take your pick as to what you will carry. The same argument was probably said 10 years ago.

durrrr you amaze me with your rehash of games durrrrrrrrrrrr wow that character is blue now?! so revolutionary. at the end of the day you’re backing up a random studio who admitted they didn’t even have a game when they announced it, it was just a concept. if you’re too stupid to see it for what it is then you are the perfect customer.

all I did was point out where its been copied from and then the swarm of crows came to defend Mr money maker

Legendary_Hoamaru · July 3, 2015, 12:22pm

MN 09 has been getting a lot of positive impression from E3, I swear the tone of discussion about it has done a 180 in some places.

Now they are making a “Not Megaman Legends”, nice lol.

The Martian:

So like, J-Stars has obvious problems, but goddamn is it fun as fuck.

Managed to get probably a good 20 or 30 fights in with @“Phantom Angel” the other day, and I still wanna get home and play some more. I’m not really seeing the balance issues everyone was talking about but I also heard that this version received changes to the characters so that probably has something to do with it. But I digress.

Huge maps to fight on, fully destructible environments, a huge diversity of characters and satisfying fast paced combat keeps the experience addictive. I do wish each character had a bit bigger of a moveset but considering the size of the cast I guess that’s to be expected. The netcode seems fine and the mechanics themselves seem well-enough designed…my biggest problem is with the ridiculous invincibility frames. You see, after getting hit with a hard knockdown, you have a good 3 or 4 seconds of invincibility while getting up and then some time after that. Letting you freely attack the living shit out of a careless opponent regardless of how many punches or kicks they’re throwing at you. It’s kind of an annoying concept to wrap your head around, but honestly if that mechanic wasn’t there every character could combo you to death once you got that knockdown. I guess they could solve this issue with wakeup attacks but…it would still need the invincibility one way or another. It’s just kind of jarring to see all this insane shit happening around a character as they calmly take their time standing back up, ignoring all the chaos and destruction around them due to invincibility frames. It should be a lot quicker of an animation at the very least.

Graphics aren’t bad by any means, but some may feel they leave a lot to be desired…especially when compared to games that do such an incredible job with the cel-shaded style like the Ultimate Ninja Storm games or even an older title like Budokai 3. It just doesn’t seem to be as inspired and detailed as it could be. But again, even so, it’s still a great looking game given all the shit that’s going on on screen.

The animations themselves are actually pretty fucking dope, as you can see.

Game is ridiculous non stop action and the invincibility frame thing is one of the few complaints I have. Luffy is just silly fun; dude just annihilates the stage around him with almost every attack he makes. I love seeing all the crazy destruction as one dude flies through the sky from another attacker while another player is charging up a fucking SPIRIT BOMB from across the map destroying buildings and shit in the process. Pure and total insanity when you have 4 different players going at it at once. I’d really like to see this game at a higher level of play, I bet it’s crazy. There can be a pretty huge skill gap I’ve noticed as well. Yesterday I had one dude playing as some guy from HunterxHunter beat me AND my teammate by himself without even losing a life.

Which kind of brings me to my second gripe…the teamplay in this game is mandatory. It makes the game fun and chaotic, but at the same time it’s also kind of annoying not being able to just do a traditional 1v1 type match where each player has their one assist. The game always wants it to be a 3v3, with two human players and one CPU assist character. If you don’t have a second human player, it fills it in with the CPU. Kind of destroys a lot of the fun that comes with fighting another human player because there will pretty much always be at least once NPC you have to fight or fight with.

All in all though, personally I think the game is a blast. However I realize it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It has a few fundamental flaws that bring the experience down a few notches, but if you like fast paced, unique anime fighters (not in the air dasher sense) then you’ll like this game. The fan service is off the charts, and the diversity is so large there’s no way you can’t find a character you’ll enjoy. Battles are large scale, fast paced, silly and chaotic. I’d say I got my money’s worth, but if you’re not really sure on the game even after watching gameplay videos and such I’d probably wait until it’s on sale for $40 or less.

Eh I don’t have + yet (waiting to see if I have any money left after a con next weekend) but I’ve got the imported PS3 version of the original and I’m sure that, at least in local play you could go 1 vs 1 by removing the CPU player somehow on character select menu.

Try fucking around on the character select menu some more.
