I'm just glad there's has been 4 game announcements recently that has my interests. 2 of which being UNIEL and Rise of the Incarnates.
 
That Rise game just makes me want F2P PC Anarchy Reigns with good netcode.

Less interested in flying around and shooting from a distance.

I really want someone to translate the feeling I have when playing DMC into a multiplayer setting.

If for you have any interest in UNIEL at all and you want to look up footage of actual players in matches you can visit this compilation site.

http://horibuna.web.fc2.com/UNIEL/index.html

It's in Japanese but all you have to do is click the character you want to watch and then click the name of the character you want to see them against. You can also just scroll down the window to see matchups if you don't use a translator. Pretty comprehensive.

Quoting because this site is super legit

RoI gameplay looks pretty solid. I'm not sure how they are handling ranged attacks with no kind of lock-system, maybe weapons only fire within a certain range or something. I'm still kinda unsure about paying for game time, I guess it could work it the rate is set properly, but being nickel and dimed isn't a very pleasant feeling. However, it would be cool if the loser always had to drop another quarter to play.

This was confusing at first because I was like "P4U2 is already the Rise game?"

Fuck yeah

Yes Giant Hitboxes coming!

Should I be hype for anime? Guess I'll check it out.

I am drunk. today is my birthday. That is all.

Hope you had a great birthday man, party on.

Time to stalk Ami-Ami and give them money! I wonder what that LE is gonna be like?



3 years ago with Season 3 of Carnival Phantasm.

Seriously though I was very surprised that Current Code didn't make it on PSN in that time. We all know why the next installment is being held up but for Type-Moon to do nothing with Current Code outside of that release has and continues to strike me as odd.

haha nice avatar

This is a really random question, but what's your favorite character selection screen?

SC2 or KOF14 or 13, i forget which one i have.

MVC1 character select screen is godlike. The soundtrack, the sound effects, the lay out, the character portraits on the side, the stylized font of the character names... instills maximum hype in you.

I agree that character select screen is nice, especially the custom fonts for each character.

I think the design of that game is nearly perfect. Some of the best character art in the entire series as well. The perfect balance of contrasted colors and action. Secret characters ruin the competitive elements of the gameplay, but the core roster is still crazy fun. Also love all the unique assists.

Marvel 1? Really? I was playing this the other day and the first thing that stood out to me was how garish and pixelated it is. I think it's fugly. Music is dope, though, and I like the characters posing after the selection. But as usual, I'm in the minority.


I actually quite like SSF4's character select screen. And vanilla Marvel.

Out of the modern games I like SSF4 (without dlc). Too bad they won't rearrange everyone. Looks so awkward now. TT2 is great too.
UMvC3 becomes top tier if you hold down R1 to bring back Gonna Take You For a Ride for vs outside of training mode.

I had no idea you could do that.

It's pixelated because it's old lol. The artstyle is great and honestly not that different from the previous games. It's just presented really well.

Calling MVC1 garish is like calling most anime or comic book art garish. One person's garish is another person's colorful.


Maximillian gets it though.

I hope that pay for time is referring to something else. Like pay for customization that lasts for X amount of game time. If not then this will be the first game I've seen in NA that has a pay for time setup (versus subscription fees for stuff like MMO's that require you to pay something to play).

My guess is that it will be F2P with time limits, similar to Gundam: Battle Operation and the upcoming Ace Combat: Infinity game. For example, you can play 3 matches for free, then you can either purchase additional matches or wait for a period of time which gives you an additional 3 free matches.

I'm not a fan of it either, it seems like this F2P thing won't die until publishers suck it up and raise game prices. It's like a game of chicken, nobody wants to be the first to sell their game for >$60.

That color select, with each one given a name. Godlike.

I liked X-Men vs SF character select the best.

tfw you go on a tear in ssf4 for an extended period of time. The last 2 days I've been channeling my inner smug and bullcat. A nigga felt like he was in the matrix, I don't even see normal and special moves anymore, all I see is frame data and hitboxes.

vanilla marvel 3 is my favorite by miles and miles. it's a great retake on the marvel 2 screen and looks fantastic in motion.

in general the whole menu thing with the scene transitions were really cool. umvc3 being a hacked together POS in this regard actually still pisses me off to this day

Yeah, I loved how it made a comic book cover. The presentation of MvC3 in general was so much better. It's so painfully clear how much they changed in UMvC3 just for the sake of change (and some things compromised for the sake of the Vita).

I have a feeling they wanted to tie in H&H better into the core of the game, and thats why the character select in UMvC3 had a card aesthetic.

fuckin' called it, man
The portraits on the MVC3 screen are pretty bad. I'm pretty sure they load in the character model for it so sometimes they'd be angled weird and be facing towards you. Also don't like the aura thing coming off of them

Marvel 1 has the best character select theme that'll get stuck get stuck in your head

UMvC3 becomes top tier if you hold down R1 to bring back Gonna Take You For a Ride for vs outside of training mode.

Did not know that

And Dahbomb said the game was figured out.

Xbox One is coming out in Japan on 9/4. On the list of companies supporting the console I see Arc and SNK. So a possibility of Xrd coming out for Xbox One.
