NiGHTS into Dreams Announced for XBLA, PSN, PC

He's just a way cooler dark side than Reala was, but ended up getting the shaft. He's just way more interesting, design-wise.

Huh... good explanation. Can't say I disagree on that!! But if we take into account Reala in JoD then I'd say Reala would win out. Love his design in JoD, and his persona mask especially!
 
I just realized how great it is that it has leaderboards. It's all about getting that perfect flow to improve your best time and score.

Sega has some good support for PC.
Those who come to love free money are those who need it.
 
fuck yes.

SEGA is releasing all of the right stuff on XBLA and PSN.

Virtua Fighter 1-4 collection with online play next please. oh, and die hard arcade
 
Finally good Nights is back

Interesting (and disappointing) that it isn't listed for Vita. I think all the Sega remakes/ports would do well on the system.
 
I used to set up the Saturn occasionally to replay Nights. Always from scratch because the internal battery was flat and I never bought a memory card. Favourite Saturn game.

I'd buy a Vita tomorrow for a portable NiGHTS. Pauls Code is doing a great job in making that dream come true soonish though. I'll also choose to look the other way while others for comical reasons bash NiGHTS Wii. NiGHTS Wii is ace.
 
It really, really wasn't. I've never been so disappointed by a video game.

To be fair, I played it before I played the Saturn one, so to someone who had never played Nights before it was amazing.

The Saturn one is better though, so I understand why people who had waited a decade for it might have been disappointed.
 
You certainly must have a high tolerance level if it has taken this long to throw JOD in the bin, I sold it back the day after buying it.

haha, naw. This picture was taken shortly after the game actually released, I was so disgusted by what they did to the series I just threw it out. If I go back in the GAF search archives I'm sure I can find the original post with a little trouble.

Anyway, I can't wait to finally play some decent NiGHTS. I guess it has to be a remake or whatever sort-of-remake thing this is, since I don't think modern SEGA is capable of doing it from scratch

It's actually from my SHITTY GAME SERIES of images

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Fuck yes. Fuck Fuck Fuck yes!
 
I had an okay time with Journey of Dreams. It certainly could have been a much better game and certainly wasn't a game that made the franchise shine. I own my copy and do enjoy playing it.

If they fix all of their old PC ports and bring a bunch of nice new ones like of course Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia, things will be pretty nice. The direction they're heading is already pretty good.

Even if the gameplay was pristine in Journey of Dreams, I wouldn't be able to handle it because of the ridges on the Nunchuck / Classic controller thumbpad. I need full, smooth, 360 rotation.

I had the same issue with Geometry Wars for the Wii - wanted to love it but I couldn't overcome the annoyance of the thumb pad ridges.
 
Yes thank you sega based god!!

Best news ever to wake up to!

Now how the fuck do I plug in my Saturn 3D controller to my PS3??

Also, at the risk of getting banned, I loved th wii version. I just ignore anything that isn't flying around....
 
In a dream I could see
you are not far away

Anytime anyplace
I can see your face

You're that special one
that I have been waiting for

And I hope you're looking for
someone like me.

Yeah, the ridges are amazing for certain games (3D platformers, Super Monkey Ball) but terrible for games that need circular motion.
 
JoD really wasn't as bad as people make out. Of course I played it with a GC controller so maybe my experience is different :P

Even with the ridges, this was the only way I could get it to control acceptably. After getting used to it I had some fun with it, but it lacks everything that makes the original so spectacular.

Exactly the reason why I never understood why people claimed the gamecube pad was the pinnacle of controller design.

If - and this is a big if - if you can make it through the cutscenes and dialogue and other bullshit to actually get to the main game, you find a pale imitation of the original that's worse looking, worse playing and misses the point entirely.

It sucks.

Same, wavebird all the way baby!

Not as great as the Saturn version, but I found it highly enjoyable after all the walking and cut scenes -_-
 
Can't wait.

Not a Sega fanboi but two games I love are NiGHTS and Jet Set.

PSN and Sega are a great match! MOAR!

A Virtua Fighter collection would be awesome. Don't know how much I'd actually play it, but I have incredibly fond memories of VF2 and 3 in the arcade.

I do not believe the ridges were the reason the controls felt off in the sequel, it was just that the controls were shittily programmed, a problem permeating all modern Sonic Team games. Take for example any of the recent Sonic games, no matter the platform, they control like shit.
 
Sorry too excited to read the whole thread! But yes, will Christmas Nights be included and also, is it based on the PS2 port?
