Any side-scroller made into 3D is garbage. Take a look at Castlevania.

UGH.

The crap known as Populous for the SNES. Boring as hell, and that heartbeat noise is ear melting.

*edit* Where the heck did my avvy go again? *sigh*

Those are exceptions. They're Mario games, and by default, Mario games are sweet.

Dr. Mario sucked.

That's true, but I like the idea of Mario being a street doctor, prescribing all *sorts* of pills.

malignant · 03-10-2004, 12:50 AM

Metroid Prime....
Zelda pretty much....
and countless countless others that come out all the time that used to be old side scrollers.....

are all Good.

I just felt like too many people needed to make Tetris knock offs. There is only one, baby. Embrace it.

Zelda is NOT a side-scroller.

malignant · 03-10-2004, 12:54 AM

Zelda 2 was...

and the orignal Zelda wasnt really all that 3D

愛 · 03-10-2004, 12:56 AM

I don't think you understand the concept of "side-scroller." A side-scroller is by definition the person you control moves to either the left or right to reach a certain goal. In Zelda, you could go up, down, left, or right. Zelda 2 barely even counts as a Zelda game because it was called Adventures of Link. That game sucked, anyway. Screw that game.

guitardave · 03-10-2004, 01:06 AM

not exactly purchased... but I rented it.

TMNT (the newest one) it's pretty crappy... I know they were trying to re-create that feeling of the old games, but I mean, why settle for **** when you can do so much more... I mean it was Konami... the people who brought us MGS. how dare they lay this filth before me!

愛 · 03-10-2004, 01:08 AM

Because they changed the logo of Konami, therefore there's assholes running the show now.

guitardave · 03-10-2004, 01:13 AM

hmm... good point.

so many games, so little time...
so many ****** games, so little time...

why must game developers create such digital vomit? if I wanted to see crap on tv I'd watch teletubbies. I wish I could get in on the action and tell those fools how to make a proper TMNT game.

Just so you know, I'm currently working on (well started and am taking a 3 month break) a game description/story/model type thing, and I'm going to send it to konami.

Thats every nerds dream. Doesn't mean they'll accept it. Gamers should unite and form their own company, seeing how every other company ***** on a cd and sells it for $70.

愛 · 03-10-2004, 01:17 AM

Good luck with that.

As for why crap keeps coming up, I think our standards are getting too high. Once 3D games came around, we thought it was the best thing ever. Now that they're just upgrading the 3D effects, we're expecting the best stuff ever. They can't provide innovation anymore. Therefore, Legend of Zelda and Metroid and games like that are the only things we find entertaining anymore. It's sad, but that's how it works around here nowadays.

guitardave · 03-10-2004, 01:20 AM

what I meant, as to why crap keeps coming out, was why lame games and stunted gameplay keeps appearing in seemingly good games (the new TMNT game for example).

oh, and I need some opinions on this thing, should I base it off of the comics, new show, or old show, or just kinda make up my own thing involving randomly selected characters from each?

愛 · 03-10-2004, 01:21 AM

Again, standards are too high. We want something so spectacular, but they just can't provide. Even the Japanese can't come up with good stuff anymore. They're running out of ideas, and they know this.

guitardave · 03-10-2004, 01:25 AM

yea, I agree... that's why they need younger people (me, for example) to help them come up with new ideas. I'm sure that they won't listen anyway. Why not make a game designed by the gamers for the gamers?

now I'm not sure that this has ever happened before, but maybe game developers should go to the public for ideas.

愛 · 03-10-2004, 01:30 AM

It would be a disaster, because they would ask the wrong people. They would have to really seek out the true gamers, like search the comic book stores and arcades. They wouldn't do it, though. They would ask any idiot on the street what they would want, and they would suggest a new Grand Theft Auto game, or another shooting game. Though the video game industry is thriving at the moment, the peak is only because of video games like Vice City and True Crime. Eventually everyone else will think the same way we do and expect a lot more out of the games. Eventually the video game industry will fall into some serious trouble.

Pretty messed up, huh?
