Well there is a movie coming out called Repo Men. It's pretty much the exact same plot, just without the music.

Wow....disobeyed my direct orders. Oh well, I wasn't kidding.
Just for the record, if anyone actually wants to help him on his project, feel free too off the RPM forum. Hell, I won't even lock this thread.

Bad publicity, no. Bad marketing, yes.

I hated the music. When you hate the music to a musical, the movie itself suffers.

« on: February 20, 2010, 09:44:30 PM »Yes, however, my point is that too many people are quick to dismiss a flawed game without trying to find it's redeeming points. A flawed game can also be fun.
In fact, many bashers then create the opinion that people who might have never played that particular game take on. Ill admit, Since everyone was bashing 06 back in the day, I kind of started too. After reading up on its mess ups. But, given the chance at a 360, (and seeing some gameplay footage) I DID want to try it despite what I thought of it.
I quickly changed my tune and I like the game now.
Your entire point is invalid because a game flaws can be viewed differently by different individuals.
Take Phantom Hourglass, for example. Some people, like myself, loved the controls, whereas others absolutely hated it. Same with Sonic '06. Some people liked the controls whereas others hated it. It's entirely based upon the individual playing it.
I liked Hancock! D=
To each their own.

« on: February 20, 2010, 09:35:06 PM »I guess in that case it depends on the person, and how that flaw feels to them, Mr. I-refuse-to-play-X7-because-of-Unlockable-X.
Exactly. So your whole concept of a flawed game being fun depends entirely on the person playing it, not the flawed game itself.
I liked Indy 4
The only movie I hated more than Indy 4 that year was Repo: The Genetic Opera. However, it tied with Hancock for worst "mainstream" movie of the year for me.

« on: February 20, 2010, 09:22:28 PM »You see, something that Ive seen many fans of anything, (sonic or Megaman, and not all of them, mind you- some-) cant seem to grasp, is the concept of a flawed game being fun. Sonic 06 is very flawed, but that does not mean it isnt fun. I love it. and I aknowledge that it had issues.
It depends on the flaws. Many movies have flaws, but it can still wind up being a fun movie. However, the flaws can be SO bad that it ruins the whole experience, like Indy 4.

« on: February 20, 2010, 09:12:00 PM »I'm just saying that the name is a marketing ploy
...that's the point that myself, Shell, and Ben were trying to get across. It's not so much the game itself that's the problem......yet. It's more so the marketing ploy itself. Like Shell said, they are clearly marketing this game to be a direct sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and IF, the key word here, IF it does not deliver, people are going to be pissed. You just have to look at the iPad debacle as a perfect example of how pissed people can get when a company does not deliver on their marketing promises.
Also, for the record, I actually had fun with Black Knight.

« on: February 20, 2010, 08:57:09 PM »It's funny you should bring up 9. Because, even though I like MM9, I do see a certain correlation between (some of) what I dislike about 9 and what direction STH4 is seemingly taking (unless Sega is saving a few bombshells for us, anyway).
Namely, that there is such a thing as going TOO basic in the attempt to "go back to roots". 9 disables the slide unless you're ProtoMan (double damage/knockback). Not my favorite design choice. Whereas the NES era encompasses 6 titles with a massive variety to them 9 and 10 are very clearly derived from the first two, and unlike games such as New Super Mario Bros., virtually discard the advancements that the sequels made. Most of the "new age" stuff they tried to do for 9 didn't turn out so well (shop is horrid), besides the new game modes like Endless Attack.
Well, in regards to what you mentioned, to each their own, but the idea behind it, the nostalgia factor, was what I was getting at more than anything else.

« on: February 20, 2010, 09:37:09 AM »Yeah, I remember that.
Still amuses me how, some how, Quatre was able to just lie low for a while, and builds an uber Gundam with a wack-ass piloting system, seemingly with little to no outside help. I mean, granted, he was wealthy. But where was able to even secure the resources necessary to BUILD such a thing?
Hey, his family isn't called Winner for nothing!
And his family HANDLED the resources, plus owned a colony or two I'm sure. He's clearly "Wing Zero" pimpin' rich!

Actually, I'm gonna disagree here for a moment with the whole "it's just a name thing" and I'll explain why. Now I'm not one of those people who is going to not download and play this game, however there is a definite argument to be said about a game's "name" or symbolism.
Lets take Metroid, for example. Now, I'm a huge fan of the Prime series, but I don't think it's a better game than Super Metroid. I remember how some people were upset at them making a FPS Metroid in the first place. However, imagine if Nintendo called it Super Metroid 2. People might've gotten even more pissed about it, especially considering the love and popularity for the original Super Metroid. I mean hell, Shadow Complex for the 360 is essentially Super Metroid 2, so you can see the love for it. Hell, I can be stubborn about that too, as the reason I refuse to play X7 is because you have to unlock or use save game data to play the main character of the [tornado fang]ing game, the one who's name the game is based on (goddamn that [sonic slicer] if she makes me play it this summer). To me, it'd be the same as having to use Tails & Knuckles to unlock Sonic and...you know what, let me not give them any ideas here.
The point I'm trying to get at is that a name can indeed be symbolic, not just in gaming, but in everything and especially when you're trying to sell something. It's why a lot of people are pissed at Nintendo lately, because a lot of people think that the "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" means dick now. It's why Microsoft had to come out with Windows 7 and not just continue to try and make Vista better, because the name Vista pretty much means failure in the eyes of the consumers. So, to call a game Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is to try and sell the consumer, being us, that this game is going to finally give new life to the classic Genesis series of old and bring back the good times and good memories that Playable Super Sonic has brought so many of us in the past, just how Mega Man 9 did to a generation of fans who grew up with the classic games of olden times. Like what was said in this topic before, they're not calling it Sonic Rush 3 or Sonic and the Chaos Dildo. They are calling it Sonic the Hedgehog 4. This is different than coming out with a new series, like Rush, the Adventure series, or the Storybook series on the Wii.
Keep in mind, this doesn't bother me much. If I enjoying playing the game, then it's money well spent, and I'm not as hardcore a Sonic fan as some are. However, all I'm trying to say is that a name can hold significant meaning to a consumer, and if this game does not deliver on the marketing strategy that Sega is going for here (and this is transparently evident by using the classic SEGA soundbyte) it can be very damaging to a lot of fans.
