and after the reveal at e3, the new thread could be wii u pre-release thread: generations
Weird, I didn't buy ME 3 either. I have just avoided it like an ex. Anyway, although we're both not familiar with ME 3, I think that it basically continues with the "galactic war" bullshit. Well, I've always wondered, what if they had just kept the games like ME 1, where everything felt a lot less...I don't know, "epic?" I liked the groundedness of it all. The world just felt like it was just going on as it always did; everything felt real. Places were dark and grimy, and it had a noire edge to it in a lot of places. I just think if it hadn't jumped to the whole war idea, it would have just been a lot better overall, and the story would have felt more organic.
Like I said, it's kind of hard to express what I mean.
I can imagine some people in this thread will certainly feel like its taking generations for the console to come out after E3
Alright so you understand my mad ramblings then! It just felt weird, because we were basically soaking in this atmosphere and setting for all of ME 1, it was just great. That universe was amazing, it has to be up there with Star Wars and Trek in terms of fleshed out species, cultures, and just basic day-to-day tech.
It was just fantastic, and like I said earlier, it had this nice space-noire thing going on, that was sadly lost to the whole war story. I hope they do make more Mass Effect games, but only if they're like ME 1.

Nothing special. just the usual:
NGaf: "YAY our 2 biggest concerns have been resolved!"
Rest of GAF: "Booo!! Its too big, i dont wanna screen in mah controller *boohooohooo*"
Why would anyone hate a screen in a controller... Their back to classic control sheme, but since its Nintebno it NEEDS to be hated before trying...

It won't be glorious. It'll be sad. I mean, I'll live. I'll just stop playing games that require aiming as a gameplay mechanic.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I want Nintendo to have a game that shows what the 2nd screen can do at lunch.

It can serve as a table at lunch.
I wish nintendo would make a system that was like a lunchbox with a handle. Best console ever, I bet.
They'd really have to make it with a color that would make it look sleek and sexy...how about purple?
You know, everyone was excited when psp vita came with a big screen. But strange enough when nintendo comes with one for the console than its to big.
First of all. It looks bigger than it really is. Second, its not different than holding a handheld. Last, its nintendo, it will be confortable

I meant to say at launch, but I'll keep the typo there - it's funnier.
It's nothing different from holding a regular controller. No one will think about its size while holding it. Made-up problem from haters.
What the hell, man!? Don't joke like that!

I don't know why you quoted me in that. First, I wasn't excited when PSP Vita came with a big screen. I couldn't care less.
Second, I'm sure it'll be decently comfortable. I do think it's funny how big the controller looks, but I just wish they went with an upgraded Wiimote and nunchuk.
With the amount of peripherals Nintendo abandons I think plastic costs is the last thing on their mind.
they're solving that by cutting holes into 3ds cases lol.

MY speculation:
The controller uses so much plastc, that Microsoft can't build the Nextbox/Xbox 8 with Avatar like graphics because they can't get enough plastic for a humongous beast (In size) of a console.
Xbox 360+ confirmed!
I was always of the idea that it should be an RPG with multiple gameplay elements beyond turn-based and should weave the stories together.
Like finding out that the Metroids survived the explosion of Zebes on chunks of the planet, which travel across the galaxy and crash on planet Popstar, causing havoc for Kirby and his friends.
Or that the actions of Bowser in the Galaxy games caused a major space-time continuum rupture that accidentally brings characters from parallel worlds together and accidentally merges timelines together (i.e. finding out that the F-Zero universe is actually the future of the Kanto province in Pokemon, the residents of Animal Crossing are actually living in the pre-aeronautics Lylat System, drawing the Triforce out of the Golden Realm across universes and into the hands of another villain, etc)
There's TONS to be done there that I'm sure a great writing team could come up with.
Wait, what's this about? What do you mean by "falling on the sword" exactly?

After thinking hard about the rumored "Starfox meets Metroid" game i took my time thinking about it. It MAY work if they make it something like that:
Samus crash lands on a planet and theres a interstellar WAR on planets and through space. When she tries to make contact with someone to send an SOS, Starfox (Wich are on the Mission to end the war) replies and so the Universe gets tied together.
It would be like "Samus has to do deactivate sattelite X, so Starfox can advance". The next mission, Starfox crew advances and have to stop a Ship, bringing a deadly weapon to the planets surface, and so on...
This way it MIGHT work.
And it is Retro working on it, so i automatically give them a chance with anything they try.
But in the end. I still hope its not true...

The Wii U Speculation Thread VI: Yes It Happened!
Captain N already exists. There's no need to go re-inventing the wheel. To bizarre and you'll turn people off.
All I've heard was something about cannibals.. and that he makes a good soup.
Captain N is an abomination of the 80s best left forgotten about.
What I proposed isn't that much weirder than what we got from Subspace Emissary, just more fleshed-out and working within pre-existing canon of all the games in funny ways.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
There are no good ideas for the Metroid x Star Fox crossover. Just varying intensities of pain and misery.
maybe it'll be like the turtles forever movie and the star fox guys are useless and a source of endless frustration for people in the metroid universe.
I would say Alberto is suggesting that Ono is taking all the blame for the bomb that was SFvT and is not in the good graces of capcom
at this point who would want to be in the good graces of capcom

I could imagine "Do A Barrel Roll!" taking on whole new meanings, and possibly a lot of humor all around.
But gameplay-wise, sure, there are interesting ideas there. But not any I'd prefer over a proper SF or Metroid game.
Even if the game was switching between Star Fox 64 levels and Super Metroid/Metroid Prime sections it would still be terrible. I'd rather play one gameplay style for a whole game than randomly switching between them.

You know, AniHawk will have to bring back the advertisement thread once the e3 conference is over. So much good will come of it.

Now that I think about it, in context to our little corner of time here on GAF discussing a SFxMetroid. How many of us pre-N64 would have loved the vague idea of Smash Bros? Without fully understanding the gameplay, controls and experience.
There are definitely cool things they could do (especially humor and parody-wise, we need more of that in games), but gameplay-wise there could be a real freeing of shackles in terms of where the gameplay/story/design can go, especially for a "Retro game". This idea does serve dual purposes. It provides a Retro revamp their known for, while at the same time allowing for a creative and artistic freedom we've all wanted.
That said, until I see it, it still sounds pretty stupid.

i pray it is a fake rumor
