Wait, why did people have meltdowns over Epic Mickey?

Concept art not becoming the final product ;d

 

[charsace]

PS3 in the time period of the E3 before the release up to 16 months after release had some huge meltdown threads. $599, giant crabs, first showing of realtime Lair, motorstorm and RFOM and some others.

 

[lordfroakie]

Those meltdowns would be scary.

Cant be worse if Nintendo co-owns DQ and MH!

Okay, but to answer your question:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeBjr8Bm_wA (DOOM HOUSE, starring Fragmaster and Lowtax, made years earlier)

It's Kevin "Fragmaster" Bowen. The video was a troll.

Another meme GAF mistakenly claimed the credit for. I'm glad we cleared that one out. :bow

Thanks.

Going a bit oldschool, but Sega going third party caused a forum-wide meltdown. The forum had a heavy pro-dreamcast population, so it caused quite the shitstorm.

Metroid Prime, the first metroid since super, being an fps caused quite the stir. People were very negative for months. It didn't start to turn around until the first few screenshots, and it took live action footage for people to get that it was still going to be a true Metroid game, perspective be damned.

 

[toddhunter]

I think the best one by far is MGS4 being announced on the 360. Mainly because it is a melt down over something that didn't end up happening over and over and is still giving 5 years later and counting.

 

[IrishNinja]

the capcom 5 and twin snakes stuff is interesting to look at, i was out of the loop during those ones.
id love to see something on SF II champion edition for genesis or the like in the day, haha

Can we count controllers too? Wii controller announced

Hahhaha.

Given how that Wii Remote ended up selling millions upon millions upon millions of systems, dominating the entire generation, and forcing Sony and Microsoft to play a desperate game of catch up for half a decade - the initial responses are completely fucking hilarious!

yeah...goddamn, that thread is embarrassing look back now. there's so many more of those this & next year too is the best part.

Wii? Sales-wise, yes. Otherwise, no.

pretty sure that was the only -wise being spoken of though

 

[T.M. MacReady]

so disappointed I missed that Bayonetta thread.

I used to love the meltdowns that would come in Sales-Age when whatever Wii "hardcore" game of that time failed to chart.

"OMGWTF WHERE IS MADWORLD"

"THE CONDUIT GOT OUTSOLD BY NBA 2K?! I GIVE UP"


I know those aren't game announcements, but still some primo Gaf Crybaby-ism. Miss those days.

[Plinko]

This thread made me actually go and check out the Bayonetta 2 backlash, and WOW.

Just...wow.

 

[Black_Stride]

It seems like all the big meltdowns occur when Sony exclusives become non-exclusive, or when a game becomes exclusive for a non-Sony console.

Woah!
Shiiiiieeeeett!

How many disks was it in the end? Did they use the same crap system as lost odyssey?

3 and it didnt use Lost Odysseys disk management system....which was an absolute joke.

People melted down over Bayonetta 2? I know I don't visit gaming often, but damn, I thought that was just one poster out of many who were truly upset. Did I miss something?!

Ohh man Bayonetta 2 got some serious flak, GAF was actually more civil than other places on the net, theres still alot of anger in the air if i didnt already have some cash saved up(from not upgrading to a GTX670) id be pissed as fuck too......the first few minutes of getting this news i went through all the Kubler-Ross stages.

1. Denial - No way, they wouldnt make it a WiiU exclusive
2. Anger - Whats the fuck!?!, what the fuck are they thinking, this is bullshit!
3. Bargaining - Nah, they will announce it as a WiiU "timed" exclusive im not worried
4. Depression - Fuck, im probably never gonna play Bayonetta 2 now.....how will i live with myself?
5. Acceptance - Im buying a WiiU as soon as Bayonetta 2 comes out.

 

[Neo C.]

Woah!
Shiiiiieeeeett!

Sony fans have lost the most and have had the least to gain (in terms of 3rd party exclusives). It's understandable why some went crazy. Nintendo fans were already at the bottom after N64 and GCN, and Microsoft is new in town.

Best thing is if you go through the whole Bayonetta 2 thread, you see all 5 stages.

But a lot of games were not lost, just on other systems as well as on Sony systems. That is what makes the crazy show more. How many of these exclusives were lost totally for the system?

As a Nintendo fan, this literally makes me sick. SSB is a staple of Nintendo, and it's not right for another company to basically copy and paste the game and call it their own. Hopefully Nintendo will sue or something, because this is so wrong.

Still not sure if joking or not.

The backlash over Wind Waker turning out to be cel-shaded was pretty big.

I also remember people getting trolled hard over April fools thinking it was getting a Twilight Princess makeover too. It worked so good that while I was managing at GameStop fans even came in begging to preorder the game...so hilarious.

This is the article that caused it all:

 

[Flayer]

Resident Evil 4 going to PS2. I think it was because the Gamecube was on its last legs at that point and RE4 was the one big thing it had at the time plus it had always been promised as an exclusive forever.

Of course now it's on about 10 different platforms.

 

[AstroNut325]

The first MGS2 reveal. The meltdowns were out of this world.

 

[Fersis]

FFXIII was the biggest ive seen. amir0x (then a mod) had a brain stroke or something too. XD
There were a bunch of bannings on some Epic Mickey thread i believe.

Oh i dont know if it was a meltdown but i got banned on a thread related to the Little Big Planet delay. (I trolled Microsoft V_V)

The DQ9 meltdown was crazy, I just imagine everyone in that thread banging their heads against the keyboard as they type.

FFXIII and Epic Mickey are close too.

NEw controller is even worse than batarang

Ps3 is 299$, thats the one i'm hoping for, because i won't be able to get it till its 299$, so the sooner the better.

bwahahah

 

[Aurongel]

Let's be honest, nothing in this thread even comes close to 599 US dollars. The shitstorm from that was even broadcasted by my local news station at the time who laughed at the price. FFXIII going multiplatform and Sega going third party should be runners up.

lost their shit at the Twilight Princess reveal trailer.

Oh wow at the guy expecting a 299$ price. He must have been pissed.

He also said he hopes it's the 60 gig hard drive at $299...Yeah the 20gb wasn't even $399, his reaction to the price must of been something for sure.

PS3 $299 w/ 60 gig hard drive

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Holy crap at the reaction from the Sixaxis reveal.

"Reggie just shat himself."

I remember both here and (especially) IGN flipping out and claiming that that the Sixaxis had destroyed the Wii forever.

edit:

Why do I get the feeling Sony's about to bomb... big time?

499? Not too bad.

But OMG wii.

the meek were vindicated, the strong were cast down...

 

[Celine]

The meltdowns over FFXIII, Epic Mickey, DQIX and DMC4 are especially amusing in hindsight when all of those games turned out to be mediocre at best.

DQIX is a good game (one of the better DS RPG), just not as good as previous DQ games (it lost something with the focus on the social elements...).

 

[fernoca]

The wink that set the world on fire. On was on GameFAQs back in the day...lord have mercy...

Yeah such a classic. The game "was a disgrace, looked like crap, like it was for babies"..."CELDA!!!"

Now is "the best Zelda ever!!! moar games need to look like it!!".

Was told I was a blind fanboy that ate any shit Nintendo put out and was even banned (IGN) for saying that Gannondorf was probably the main bad guy (spoilers!!!).

 

[Meelow]

The Epic Mickey art work was so hype worthy though, so much potential...

I'm not saying it was a bad game though.

[EmCeeGramr]

Monster Hunter 3 is next!

DMC has always been a subpar series Ninja Gaiden Sigma is where it's at

Are you kidding me? Capcom whores out it's franchises like nobody's business. Remember the "Resident evil is exclusive to gamecube!" business last round?

On the other hand, Final Fantasy (other than the MMORPG) has never, ever been multiplatform, and SE rarely makes ports of current franchises. FFXIII is staying right where it is.

Dammit capcom,I just lost all my respect for you.
What with that Bullshit talk of keeping each platform two exclusives?

Bull****, where is the PS3 love? Capcom is now like Ubisoft to me "Pure Crap"

WWTF CAPCOM! I can't believe this, so lost planet, dead rising and more for 360 but not PS3? aAnd now they post DMC4!? This is bullshit wtf.

Wow,the xbox fanboys finally show themselves now.

Any chance of DMC being good on the PS3 is gone now that will be gimped down to 360 standards. Good thing I don't buy Capcom games.

Oh well, should have seen the writing on the wall, can't say I'm not disappointed because I am, I would be lying if I say I'm as excited about the game now that it's going multi, kind of glad to have some first-party 3D action games to look forward to now that some of the exclusives have gone multiplatform.

Rumble was never a factor in them before... and, since this will be released around Home time, I'm sure there will be some Trophies in the PS3 version...

The old "i'll buy it for achievements" is washed up anymore as Sony has the same thing, maybe cooler if you like visual awards more and a virtual trophy room like shown in Home...

Sony has 150 'first party' games in development. For each DMC4 that gets goes multiplatform, there are probably 20 exclusives that are just as big.

Crapcom being pathetic as usual.

You knows what if funny on Gaf:

What people don't want you to know is that the xbox system is also losing exclusives. Like: Rainbow Six vegas, F.E.A.R., Oblivion etc. It's no fair, when the other system trips everyone doesn't seem to mind. But, when Sony trips, OMG IT'S THE END OF THE PLAYSTATION. This has got to be the most grueling console war Sony has ever embarked on.

this is just :lol

No doubt Capcom will put some bald space marines in for you guys:lol

It's a shame, as now we have to put up with another poorly optimised multiplatform game.

For not giving us a new Street Fighter game and diluting DMC4, Capcom suck.

for now :lol
Wait few month and ull see gear of war announced

Not going anywhere since it's owned by Sony, and thankfully so... At least that won't get ruined by going multiplatform.

Seriously, I love how everyone, err, certain people are saying this won't make the game any less of quality... Kinda like how the quality of all the Ubisoft, EA, and Activision games are overall... They push each consoles capabilities to the max!

GoW3 will not only be reviewed better, not only only will get GotY, but will sell 3 times more than NG2 and DMC4, the end begins bitches.

So, it currently stands like this...

360:

Dead Rising
Lost Planet
Devil May Cry 4
Resident Evil 5

PS3:

Onimusha 4
Monster Hunter
Devil May Cry 4
Resident Evil 5

This is horrible news.

I hope MGS4 doesn't jump ship.

To all the Sony-haters:

Sony had a much lighter hand than Nintendo ever did, or Microsoft will if it ever (god forbids) seizes control of the industry. At least we never had to worry about artificial murder of consoles or "hub" of the living room or a shooter "renaissance" by a competitor buying its way into the industry(Microsoft's sins) or artificial shortages, blatant censorship, pick-and-choose translation of japanese games, and price-fixing (Nintendo's sins) with Sony in charge. I don't understand this utter delight at the bricks coming Sony's way.

I swear there was one dude who had a massive meltdown, but I don't see him. It might have been a guy with a DMC avatar in a Tekken or VF multiplatform thread and I'm getting confused, though.


Also the "MGS4 is inevitably coming to 360" fuzzy memories are so strong.

 

[TheSeks]

Substance version was, and it didn't really work without analogue buttons. Had some slowdown issues as well.

Er-The X-box had analog buttons, it's why DOAXBV had the options of using that and the 4 button control scheme.

And the slowdown in the X-box version, like the PC version, was only in the tanker. It didn't completely drop the ball in any other spot.
