Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

There is no way that’s the final design. I don’t believe that for a second lol

GGPO was asked on the network side of things for GG2020 as of right now they aren’t talking about network play yet. Also Beta is early 2020 and guaranteed beta access for Arc Revo Demo players.

So they added ground techs but OTGs are still in, but OTG hits do full damage. And there’s no air recover. This is basically the SF3 of GG in the sense that the system is gonna be totally different and not just building on what it was.

Beta is on may 2020

I think it is a fitting description to say it is like sf3.
Everything points out this game is not for gg players.
Is for a new crowd who doesnt play gg, or hate gg.
It is removing almost everything that people liked from previous games. In favor of a more streamlined experience.

I bet that like 3s, some people will love it, specially new players, and veterans will more likely hate it.

I mean, it’s not like people that liked GG can’t like the new one. 3S has players that only play it but it also had players that move to it from sf2. It’s just a different game. I mean, just like when Xrd came out, it’s not like AC became unplayable, you can still play it, and people do. I don’t think it makes much sense to just remake the same thing over and over, and devs I’m sure don’t want to do that either.

Edit: wow wtf you can RC blockstun to push them back.

blue bottom discs are CD-roms i think. marvel v capcom 2 is a blue bottomer.
sounds sexy

Is not about remaking the same game, but iterating on the good aspects of your game.
This one is ditching out everything in favor of a more basic streamlined experience.

To the point that is not GG anymore.

Right, and they did that and Xrd didn’t exactly do that well and a bunch of vets still complained. Like, it’s impossible to please everyone and you can’t match people’s expectations. You also can’t guarantee that what you think defines a series is what someone else thinks defines it.

Like, what real value is there in just making slight updates to the same system beyond a certain point. XX got #R, S, AC, AC+, AC+R. Xrd had two releases and updates in between. They did PLENTY of iterating. Like, most than most. Do you really want them to continue iterating and making just slight adjustments every time?

Like i said.
This is no longer gg.
This is DmC.
A game not made for fans of the series.
Ever design choice is deliberately to not be like gg.

I guess I just don’t agree with that. A game like DmC is an intentional middle finger to the past. This doesn’t feel like they’re like FUCK YOU but just they want to do something different. Just like sf3 wasn’t exactly hateful, they just tried something new. Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t, but I don’t think it’s being done cynically.

You were clearly not paying attention then.
Everything in this game is a middle finger to the fans.

The game is not made with them in mind.

The only thing this game has going for it is that is pretty.

Wha? Dude. Where in the footage so far has a character said some shit like tameem or said shit like “not in a million years”? The DmC situation was far far worse

Just look at the gameplay and the mechanics changes.

Yeah, it’s really different. I don’t think it’s equivalent to what DmC did at all. SF3, sure. I’m not arguing it has different design goals when Ishiwatari himself literally said as such. I’m arguing that having a different design goal isn’t a middle finger to anyone and that it’s going way too far to take it that way.

It looked like it could be interesting to me. Some strange changes that could be good or bad. Certainly didn’t feel like they where betraying me or giving me the middle finger. The SF3 or maybe a SFA comparison feels apt to me.

I think it’s still way too early to tell about what direction GG is going with this game.

Shit changes constantly. I mean ffs the public beta isn’t even happening for another 6-8 months. They’re also tournament hopping to get feedback from players to see what can be added, better implimented, etc.

Lots of time for change, polish and to buffer shit out.

I would like it if RC wasn’t so omnipresent in every combo/blockstring, cuz that was annoying as shit.

Kojimas next title a horror game. Im guessin itll be P.T without the actual use of the Silent Hill license. Prolly something else entirely

He hasnt begun actual production yet so we will see

2 cents: Way too early to say anything abou GG mechanically until at least people who are interested in exploring the depth of the engine get their hands on it. Presentation in this game is god damn amazing though.
