Part of that probably has something to do with the fact that it is Chaos, not Sonic, who falls back at every hit.

But you don't really feel any kind of impact. Takes no aiming or anything, just speeding through, dodging the shots.

Entertainment / All-Star Superman confirmed for animated movie!

« on: July 27, 2010, 11:57:30 PM »

This isn't DCAU, nor is it strictly comic book business. I think this pretty much deserves its own topic, due to how massive this thing is.

Yes, it will never be as good as the comic, but if they can capture even a TINY BIT of the magic... even a TINY LITTLE BIT... we'll have the greatest Superman movie of all time... or the greatest superhero movie of all time.



For all those who aren't familiar with the comic, All-Star Superman is pretty much the best (IMO, and quite popular opinion) Superman story ever written, and one of the best comic books around. It mixes the uberman myth with tales of gods and massive undertakings, and gives us a look at the human being. It's an absolutely amazing work, and the fact that it's actually getting a movie, rather than another Loeb piece of crap, makes me very, very happy.

I think this is another thing some dont seem to get. All because I want a current Gen megaman doesnt mean I want a Halo/Gears of War clone with BROWN AND BLOOM. Why cant I just get, yknow, HD Current Gen Megaman? Megaman re-tooled for the current hardware?
a fully 3D, HD Megaman, with nice graphics, and fun gameplay?
Whats so hard to understand or accept about that? Nostalgia on the brain? Because Nostalgia very quickly becomes "milking" and the "sheep like fanbase" that Ramzal mentioned, will just eat it up. And since the older fanbase is so enthralled by nostalgia, thats all we will ever get.

Simple-minded people will protect what they know and attempt to make it last forever, criticizing anything different. Games are either old-school classic style, or they're SPACE MARINES FPS SWEARING JOCKS EVERYWHERE.

There's the possibility of good change. People just gotta be able to see it.

Not everything can be improved with boobs. For example, Wolverine and Hulk can, but Spider-Man can't.

Evolution has to be done well in order to be good. That evolution was forced, and the game itself was bad. It wasn't because it was slightly different. It was because it was more of the same in the worst way.

Funnily enough, I scarcely see fighting games with demos out nowadays. The last ones I can remember, were the demos for Virtua Fighter 5 and the beta for Street Fighter 2 HD. They should really put more demos out. Stuff like two available characters and one level for people to play in. It'd give us a chance to try out the feel of it.

Play X7 more.

I have. It's just a bad game.

I really do love it when people talk to me about a specific series with something that bothers me, and when I explain my disdain for that thing, they tell me to play this one specific game of the series in this one specific part with this one specific move. I'm a dude who's played certain games of the series which he's find pretty damn cool and fun. I'm not about to get buried under six tons of bullshit just to uncover this amazing single move that other games have been doing as standard and better for years

(People who go "DEN UR NOT A FAN!!", being a fan doesn't mean you have to like everything the franchise you're a fan of is in. I'm also a fan of Sonic, Crash and Spyro. And I don't have to enjoy all the crap they put out with those nowadays.)

I read separate and vague plot arcs of the comic in the 90's, so the Spidey cartoon was pretty much my one link to the story. When I began to get into the actual comics, and saw all the stuff that was different (lotsa Goblins, Madam Web not being very important to the plot, Peter's life being way shittier) I was surprised. I still remember that it had a very extensive story. A multidimensional war, Venom and Carnage's story, MJ and Pete getting married for him to find out she was a clone of a water dude... I just remember the plot being pretty detailed for the time, and there was some general continuity, instead of stuff just being in single arcs.

X didn't evolve the franchise much. The character still controlled pretty much the same way, just with a few added abilities. They could have easily added those abilities and made the enemies a bit more serious in the original series. It would have been the exact same thing. Legends felt like the first truly different game, not because it was 3D, because it played differently. Seemed like a bit of an evolution, but they never went through with it. And while pretty much all platforming characters have either died or continue to evolve, Megaman keeps standing in the exact same place, not being able to duck or aim his damn gun. Instead, we get a dash and a wall jump. Notice something with pretty much every single franchise there is. They evolve, so game characters have more freedom of movement and become more powerful as a result. We can verify this with pretty much every single franchise. Even stuff like Final Fantasy and Resident Evil have tried to give players more freedom in their latest titles, so the gameplay experience is more of a "I am a fun-to-control, powerful, all-around playable character, let me go through this well-crafted challenge", rather than "Oh no! I cannot aim at this enemy directly above me! This is making my game quite tougher!" This WORKS. Even Mario and Sonic, dispite returns to their roots once in awhile, always keep evolving their gameplay, for better or for worse, for the sake of getting more and more people to enjoy the experience. While Megaman seems like a very closed affair. JUST for the hardcore fans. I honestly think that's not a very healthy route to lead a franchise.

Mega Man's evolution was called "X"

Which wasn't much of an evolution in the first place.

Evolution is always necessary sooner or later. In pretty much everything. Games included. Sooner or later, Megaman games are going to need to evolve, mostly because I don't see any young people being completely enthralled by the retro style of the games. I'd like to see a good and steady evolution, not just "we want the same thing over and over again and [tornado fang] non-fans".

Except when they're done well. Which, to be fair, isn't often. But it's possible.

When they're done well, they change their personalities halfway or remain villains. Possible examples are Bastilla from KOTOR and Azula from Avatar.

Innovation also requires execution. It can be innovative, but even if it's good quality, it needs good execution as well.

And I don't either, by those standards.

There's alot of factors, but quality includes execution, design, etc.
