Why the fuck is this only on the Wii?!

I know! Everyone knows that eight year olds who watch this show own PS3s, right!?

(It was a toss-up between this and "grah! Why was Bayonetta only for the PS360? Wii owners want to play too!")

 

[Burai]

Im almost 30. I played 2d games most of my life. Im tired of it. I want 3d games with (well implemented) motion control - something new and innovative

So no, i wont buy this.

I'm almost 30 too and your timescales are all fucked up. Games have been primarily 3D since 1995, making mainstream 3D console gaming 15 years old. By contrast, the NES launched in 1985, making 2D gaming just ten years old. There were, indeed, 2D games before then, but we were both far too young to be able to play them in any meaningful way.

The only way what you say can be true is if you were somehow forced or chose to play only 2D games through a large chunk of the 3D era. And that's the developer's fault how?

May I recommend this episode.

It pretty much sums up the tone of the series.

It also happens to one of the best. I would also suggest checking out "Deep Cover for Batman" + "Game Over for Owlman" and "Legend of the Dark Mite" (can't find links for them right now).

 

[kame-sennin]

Will buy. I've been dying for more 2D games.

That was great.

Neil Patrick Harris rocked that episode.

I happen to love this one: Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure. It's funny as hell.

....why haven't I seen this before?

Hmm, the current me likes the first few seasons of The Batman better, the pacing seemed better, but the ten year old me would have adored the shit out of this.

Looks great as a DS title.

:lol that is catchy.

Good thing the Wii runs Flash.

 

[jecclr2003]

That looks pretty neat. But ROFL @ that title. Sounds like a superhero-themed soap opera.

...or a 60 year old comic book.

Oh.... wait.

Looks pretty cool though. Will buy at $20

I really hate that somehow, GAF has made me feel ashamed for thinking something like this looks pretty kick ass.

Then we have done our job. Thinking a Wii game looks pretty kick ass. smh

Disgusting.




On a related note, I have The Music Meister constantly on in the background, it's so damn catchy. :lol Damn you Penguin for linking that!

 

[Speevy]

As strange as it sounds, the game isn't animated enough. I don't really know how else to say it. Should be more lively than A Boy and His Blob. You are a crime fighter afterall.

I'm listening to it too. so bloody catchy :lol

But yeah, this looks like it's probably solid, enjoyable stuff. I'll keep an eye on it

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Can't someone be hyped for both games?

Sure; but only if you really, really like Tenchu under Batman skins.

And seriously? Bad art? Ok.

Arkham Asylum is fucking hideous as are most games this generation. How they went from this:

to this:

boggles my mind.

Gears of Batwar can fuck right off until they can get the shit to look closer to the concept art, and not like - to paraphrase a friend, "A steroid bus crashed into the Animated Series voice cast."

 

[Speevy]

That concept Batman has more muscles than the screenshot you posted.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

That concept Batman has more muscles than the screenshot you posted.

It's not the muscles that make the game look like shit.

It's the grotesque bloom lighting and strangely reflective skin. It's a very, very visually unappealing game.

I can't pin it on Batman though, this entire generation is awash in bad graphics and terrible frame rates; with rare glimpses of amazing. Hopefully next generation is less fucking freakish looking.

 

[Speevy]

I won't disagree with you there, but I blame the gameplay variety and genre coverage rather than the visuals.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Like I said, I liked the game better when it was called Tenchu. Being fugly didn't help its case any.

Your opinions are odd.

definitely the best episode of the series so far IMO...

'chill of the night' was also great but had too much of a serious tone to it. it was just odd in comparison to the rest of the series.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Any word on WB releasing proper seasons of this series on DVD or do they want to keep at that retarded fucking "BEST OF" episodes disk SHIT? >:|

It's like they WANT me to pirate their shit. . . come on guys, seriously! That and Spectacular Spiderman. . .

 

[HK-47]

DKR is fun as DKR. DK:SA, was fun as well. Like crazy fanfic and SA is about the point where Frank Miller started to take the money and run, while skirting Garth Ennis level biting the hand that feeds him.

Problem is Miller turned Batman from "A guy in a cape" to the power leveling asshat that most ill-informed non comic readers pitch Batman as. For all the bitching non-comic readers do about "Blah blah Superman is boring, he can beat anyone!" They never look at all the BULLSHIT writers have concocted post-Miller that turned Batman into an invincible one ups-man.

</lol prep time>



Not enough Unreal Engine and bloom lighting for GAF!

That was Morrison's doing mainly, especially in his Justice League run. Not Miller IMO.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Not really.

Morrison's JLA run was pretty fun and I actually enjoyed how

Spoiler

the white martians underestimated Batman because he was human.

If you want to pin it on some one post-Miller then I'd go with Mark Waid IIRC in that shit Tower of Babel storyline which is DKR fanfic to the 10th power and then some.

Morrison's recent Batman run has been pretty crap IMO, but I suspect that's more to do with him being Grant Morrison and DC / Marvel letting him do whatever the fuck he wants; despite it being pretty obvious all the drugs are really fucking with his brain. :\

I actually checked because we're like half way through season 2 now, but it seems they are gonna do dumb half season sets now. So season 1 part 1 is out in August.

At least, Spec Spiderman has season 1 on DVD!

Blech!

That's really inconvenient for us old coot fans who like to watch seasons of stuff.

Last I checked Spiderman wasn't out in a full season; but now I know so I'll Netflix it. Thanks.

Yeah season 1, I been waiting for season 2 for a while.

I like having complete sets!

By the by, has anyone seen the new episode with The Flashes?

HEY GUYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT BRAVE AND THE BOLD IS BUT GOD DAMN THIS IS NOTHING LIKE SOME OTHER BATMAN SHOW I LIKE SO IT SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

:lol

This show made Aquaman AWESOME! How can anybody hate that? It's done the impossible I tell you!

Spoiler

Because I know you cocksmacks won't actually read comics and see Aquamans best moment in New Frontier.

 

[Boss Doggie]

And don't forget JL Aquaman!

Also, why was Huntress a teacher in BatB?

 

[ReiGun]

By the by, has anyone seen the new episode with The Flashes?

Just saw it. Was lacking the usual BatB humor, but still really good. I especially liked the pre-episode teaser, with the fully formed and trained Outsiders.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow! Looks fucking awesome!!

 

[GDGF]

:lol

Fuck yeah it did. Aquaman is my favorite character on the show.

if your stance is that only fans of a license have a right to pass judgment on licensed games, then i have to disagree.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Non-fans have a tendency on missing the point though.

 

[mik]

...or a 60 year old comic book.

Oh.... wait.

Looks pretty cool though. Will buy at $20

Whoa.

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Also, why was Huntress a teacher in BatB?

Haven't seen the show but Huntress has been a teacher for some time now in the comics

It's worth pointing out that a large chunk of the "3D age of gamers" grew up playing primarily 2D games on the GB/GBC/GBA.

 

[Regulus Tera]

This better have a Music Meister-based level that rips on the Guitar Hero series.

 

[nincompoop]

Oh snap! I just read that the DS version is being worked on by Henk Nieborg (the pixel artist behind Lionheart, The Adventures of Lomax in Lemmingland, Contra 4, Shantae DS among others). Here's some pics from his site:
