Re: Final Fantasy

No it's not. It been done before on others Anns and just regular collectors editions.
Why is it limited to just sony? FF started off on NES then SNES. It's a lazy set. If they can spend a half billion on multiple FFXIII's then they can do a little license bullshit

All the games have been released before on Sony consoles so they don't need to sort shit out with the likes of Nintendo and Microsoft. I don't know if Square has any contract with Sony or not but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want FFVII or other classics on the Xbox. As I said if it was easy to get FFVII on the Xbox it would have come out on Xbox Live awhile ago. I'm sure more people want it on that then they did the PC version just re-released.

The reason it's unrealistic is you want 13 soundtracks which usually take up about 3 or 4 discs each. 1200 pages worth of art which is going to pretty fucking big. This is already going to cost a ton in shipping as it is.

it comes down mostly to laziness, FF 7 and 8 were both released on PC and Square-Enix did all the marketing and development from their own pockets so everything is theirs its not like saaaay Namco-bandai and Tales. See Nintendo, microsoft and sony all had a hand in localizing and developing some of those games, hence Vesperia is only for 360 outside of Japan, Symphonia is only for Gamecube and Grraces is only for PS3.

Square-enix can release whatever game they want for whatever system they want, but it would require some work and they don't seem to want to bother throwing any work at anything other then 13 games.

(Yea wasen't happy about 13-3 and played a bit of KH3D in PEI and absolutely hated it)

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

You guys are either retarded or former bully victims. Kids with gay parents = constant and easy target. Bullyin the likes of poor kids is situation specific, bullyin Muslims isn't likely to have as much effect due to the chances of there being much more than one at the school, kids with difficulties are usually in 'special' classes and generally don't interact with everyone else as they have different schedules.

Kids with gay parents though... How many does anyone here know? Chances are, they'd be the only one at their school who has, as it'll take a good few generations before there's a large enough number of them.

I don't care what anyone says, it's flat out unfair on the child. You can argue the fuck all you want about gay people having rights n shit, fair enough, I don't have a problem with that, but kids? You can't honestly condemn one to an absolute certainty of constant bullying throughout their childhood. Peeps say every kid gets bullied anyway, and that's bullshit. Only bully victims say that.

I usually joke about and say that anyone who opposes my opinion is automatically wrong, but in this case it's true, and if you think otherwise, then you really need to re-evaluate your bedroom level knowledge of society and social hierarchy.

Seriously, some of the self-righteous bullshit on the internet about how socially inept idiots reckon the world should be is flat out ridiculous, and is really startin to grind my fucking gears.

Actually when I was teaching I had a fair number or children being raised by gay couples. For the most part I haven't seen much bullying, but homosexuality is mostly accepted here. Even so, saying gay people shouldn't have kids, because those kids will be bullied is like saying women who get raped were asking for it by being women. No matter how many people try to accept it, its not right. Also depending on the household, it could be the best thing to ever happen to a child that was born from a druggie and a rapist, or through incest. Allowing responsible adults raise a child should never be an issue and in my experience hasn't been.

Beyond that, I have been bullied for being a short, bisexual, nerd, Carib with light skin. I got bullied because I was smaller, and because I was "gay", and because of my hobbies, and snooty white kids hated me for being an "injun" while dumb black kids called me a "honky". Even so I don't think I'd ever change it, I wasn't a victim, I took what happened and let it make me stronger. The biggest thing I got out of it is that I stopped caring about what I thought the world should be, and started caring about what I think it is. Understanding hardship allows a person to speak from experience, granted its important to stay objective and fix the problem, it is not an automatic detractor from a person's input, they may still be able to see the situation rationally and be able to do good.

If I let social norms dictate how I live my life, I'd have let that Spaniard prick beat me to death in Condado. I resist the things I see as wrong not only for my own sake but for those around me.

at the end of the day, you can say I'm wrong, but I've dealt with these issues first hand, and seen good come of it, I've got experience.

Its okay Mitts, I understand where you're coming from. I understand that you're taking into account what you've seen, where you live and your heart is in the right place, with the kids themselves.

I care about the little ones too, and while I have different experiences and perhaps have just been lucky I've always thought that an active approach was necessary. I understand you want to shield them from the bullying, but instead of removing them from the situation, I wish to remove the situation, and if unable, teach them to shield themselves.

Re: What Game/Games Are You Currently Playing?

I still think the only real problem with the gameplay is that the enemies are just way too tough. It's kind of draining to pump machinegun fire into the same enemy for a full minute before killing him. And he's not even a boss. Or a mini-boos. Or anything special at all. Just a regular enemy. <_<
If not for that, I wouldn't mind playing it again at some point. But yeah, like Segata, I have to agree that I can't really see myself playing all the way through it again, despite whatever slight fondness I still have for it.

I think a lot of games keep having trouble with that. Seems like a lot of games don't have a good "feel" to enemies. Like having a medusa head take 10 hits and a werewolf take 3.

Re: RPG's( NOT Falcom,Square,Bethesda,Bioware)

How does that answer about tilt shift angles?

Because it was basically impossible before then. The Last Remnant has a ton of the same kinds of shots from LO. for exmple theres a point where the antagonist grabs the protagonist by the neck and tosses him. During the toss the camera is zoomed out but when the protagonist crashes and chaos starts to take over the battlefield the game is in a 3/4 dutch even when gameplay starts because the protagonist is still f'ed up.

So the reason you see it a lot in mistwalker games is twofold, first they introduced the idea when it comes to modern RPGs so its a bit more obvious because for the past decade cutscenes haven't been able to have such a dynamic camera, and second I think they just plain like it, since its in LO and TLS.

Re: RPG's( NOT Falcom,Square,Bethesda,Bioware)

Well Lost Odyssey was the first RPG to use the Unreal Engine 3.

To back up, the engine is great and bad all at once. It allows for a lot of really great effects like multilayered particles and textures and a bunch of other effects and even a ton of AI related options. The biggest problem though is that performance isn't the focus, because of this UE3 (and any game made using a UE) will have framerate and buffering issues.

Using UE was kind of a mixed bag, on the one hand the game was going to take a hit in its speed, and was prone to errors and bugs. The pros did outweigh the cons though, making the game would be faster and cheaper and the cinematics would be woven into the game more efficiently.

RPGs always had their cinematic moments, but this was different. instead of setting down the controller and watching a cutscene play out that had visuals that drastically differed from the main game, Mistwalker could create animations that flowed directly into gameplay, and experiment more with the angles and filters in a real time environment.

To put it bluntly, Lost Odyssey used an engine that was never meant for its playstyle and despite it's rough edges was able to prove that companies that made RPGs could build large AAA engines. Square-Enix tried this approach and after releasing The Last Remnant began work on what was then called the white engine. Tri-Ace created the Undiscovery Engine.

Sadly it seems like most studios are missing the point. Packing the disk full with more CG, placing the camera too close or too far to action, and spending too much time on refining the engine then actually using it to create games. Lost Odyssey still introduced a great idea to gaming that could one day help RPGs return to a golden age.

Re: Final Fantasy

^I still wouldn't say it is lazy. Just to get this set released on 360 would mean they have to port 12 games over. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that would take quite a bit of time.

Nah, 1 is running on .net and has a version that works on windows phone. 2 and 3 don't seem too tough since theres versions that run on 1's logic (and if you can make FF 1 for windows you can make 2 and 3 for windows) thats not so bad. 4,5 and 6 might be a problem, but the games are so old, you can actually emulate the game though it would still require changing some dialogue. 7 runs on windows, 8 runs on Windows, 9 uses the same framework and should be able to run on windows.

Basically anything from 1-9 isn't too bad, either theres versions that already work in a sense or you could just emulate them because they aren't going to make the GPU melt. It'd take time but not a ton, it'd basically be the same amount of work they put in to get 1-6 working on PSN.

The hard ones are 10 and 12. 12 because that sucker was optimized for PS2, and porting it would require some effort in porting. Thing is, they should do it anyway. With the FFX HD release, FF12 should be right after.

In terms of time, from start to finish getting everything running would only have taken 1 or 1.5 years, though it would use up a team. (and the fact that they don't have people is S-E's fault, a bunch of people quit on them because they were either not doing anything or working as backup on projects that didn't need it.)

I don't mind if it looks the same if it loads a lot faster and works better.

Also its worth mentioning a game might have the exact same textures and polycount, but if its running at a higher refresh rate the player has more controls and the action flows smoother making filters and effects easier to see. For all i know it'll look exactly the same, or even play exactly the same, but after Ninja Gaiden 3 and other games that keep trying to stretch the formula alittle to far, I kind of am happy they are keeping things similar (though I'd be over the moon if they added shit AND kept the system familiar)
