What do you want from the ClayFighter game?
>>736408945It was a charming game but it suffered from being born during the heiday of platform mascots where everyone wanted to create the new mario and sonic, this guys for example went in as a parody of mortal kombat, however charm can only carry you for so long and the gameplay was mediocre at best, truth be told i wish they managed to make their return in the nintendo ds.
The game was a trash fire. There's nothing there worth salvaging.
Deliberately parody the gameplay of every other fighting game to an extreme degree>Slowness of Street Fighter >Clown juggles of Tekken>Stiff movement of Mortal Kombat >EX move/mode spam of SNK games
>>736409042>>736409147>>736409270What if they made it with all claymation instead of using computer animation or whatever they did here?Like so:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7APz933R9a8
>>736408945>What do you want from the ClayFighter game?More clay waifus, but with more appealing to the male audience.
>>736409882Based taste
>>736408945> elvis referencewoefully dated and out of touch even when that game was new
>>736409393That was claymation. The bigfer issue was the n64 not having big enough carts at the time to handle thebanimation frames. The canceled ps1 versiom legitimately looked better
>>736410615Were you even alive in the 90s? Elvis references and impersonators were still all over the media at the time. Every kid understood who what was supposed to be even if they didnt really know his music
>>736410719>The canceled ps1 versiom legitimately looked betterI doubt that, every 2D fighter in playstation had less frames of animation than their arcade counterpart, even the saturn could only run them properly with added memory.
What is the appeal of this?They're made out of clay and they fight?
>>736409270How ironic
Are clays actually fun to play as an adult?
>>736410765>were still all overThey still are
>>736408945Why wasn't this game being recognizable or at least a huge hit in sales?
>>736416750TAKING CLAY IS FUN.
>>736410348I don't know if I would be creeped out by this, or just aroused by it?
>>736408945Helga's huge clay tits
>>736417714CLAYFIGHTERS!
>>736408945I know about this series because of this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElChcXGQ7w0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twp_dQjuDNI
>>736419786Seconding this!
>>736422557>Hanzo and Fuuma in the trashcanHonestly, i think ADK would be proud they were considered to be some head honcho that needed to be taken down a peg.
>>736422557>>736424371Who is the character between them and Ryu?
>>736424526That's raiden
Should I buy a copy of Sculptor’s Cut for investing?I know it's one of the rarer N64 games.
>>736419786Needed more exposure
>>736422557Tiny canonically won the first tournament
>>736426702Thats pretty much the game only notheworthy and standing legacy, being so rare that its a genuine kick in the balls for the n64 collection of game collectors, man imagine if the guy running the last standing blockbuster just had a box full of those in its house basement, would be funny.
>>736429763The fact that store exclusive games were ever a thing and lasted all the way to Xenoblade 1 is insane.Could you even fucking buy a copy from blockbuster outright or did you have to lie that you lost it and pay the fee?
>>736416750If you sculpt them and turn into an action figure then yeah, you could play with them.
>>736408945What would be the point given the devs would likely be too lazy to use actual clay?And the possibly "problematic" characters like Houngan, Kung Pow, and possibly the Jamaican banana guy from 2 being removed.
>>736408945What do you mean? Like, what would I want from some hypothetical "new" ClayFighter game? I wouldn't want one at all. "Claymation" isn't really a thing anymore with 3D modeling being much easier and cheaper than it was in the 90's. So its main gimmick is gone. I think there's room for some kind of "parody" or satirical fighting game these days, but I don't think ClayFighter would be it, and certainly not if it was still made by whatever is left of Interplay these days
Clayfighter is never coming back because you can't have shit like this in games anymore.
>>736410719The PS1 version only existed as static screenshots. What you were seeing were the uncompressed assets. The uncompressed assets still exist to this day but they are being squatted on by an unknown party, anytime you saw mentions of a clayfighter revival in the past 15 years it was the squatter attempting to produce a new Clayfighter title using them.
>>736432375As an example, here you can see an uncompressed frame of Houngan and the Zappa Yow Yow Boys layered on top of what is likely concept art for what a stage background could look like, but at no point was this a still frame of actual gameplay footage in an actual stage.
>>736432375Interplay still owns Clayfighter, they tried to sell off their entire catalog and not piece meal so of course nobody wanted to pay up for all the slop they own. They probably are seething they gave Fallout to bethesda.
>>736410719Didn't the PS1 version tend to cut frames compared to the Sega Saturn version of the same game?
>>736408945I'd very much like to believe there's a new one on the way, however >>736431589 thisThere's no way the same humor and aesthetics will be brought back, and it probably won't be frames of clay characters, some lazy ue5 shit instead for heckin realistic visuals even though it's supposed to be fucking clayIf the soul and integrity can't be brought back, it's not worth doingSee FF7R
>>736408945What did Interface entertainment expected from this game?
>>736434312Do they still make games? If not, who has the rights?
>>736430181Largely because back then going in-store was the only way to get a new game and ordering online wasn’t much of a thing, so stores would buy exclusive distribution rights to drive traffic. Once other options became more prevalent there was little reason to keep it up on the stores end, and companies ditched it so their vidya can be available everywhere for better sales. Was a lot like console exclusives, except with stores. Also in the case of Xenoblade i’m pretty sure that was sabotage on Reggie’s part since he didn’t even want to bring the game state-side, so he set it up for failure by only having it be available at gamestop of all places>Could you even fucking buy a copy from blockbuster outrightMost rental places did let you buy outright, they just had to be sure to keep extra stock for people to still be able to rent
>>736413019They're also cartoony and sillyIt's whimsical and fun
>>736432906I'm just surprised that Interplay still exists. What do they even do anymore?
>>736408945Zach "psychic pebbles" and Oney had some sort of job with the Clay Fighters creator. He shat all over him. Very unprofessional
>>736433706Also it would be fuck-expensive to get 63 1/2's voice cast, along with the factor that Dan Castellaneta has been likely blacklisted from non-Simpsons productions.
>>736417643I found Bad Mr. Frosty to be kind of iconic as a kid
>>736408945I mean the only real advantage is that they can make it look like real stop-motion this time or if they're doing digitized graphics, HD works to their advantage.
>>736434628>>736429763I appreciate them trying to give BMF a more animated facial structure, but the original design is so much better.
>>736434609I'm sure you could get comparable VAs if not all the originals are available And to your point about Castellaneta, he did do Aladdin 2, but that was before disney bought fox so I suppose ut could go either way
>>736431589These were pretty lazy and played out ethnic stereotypes when the game was released.I don't think anyone is clamoring for these characters.If we got a new Clayfighter game I'd want to see the original cast from the first game
>>736434609QRD on Dan being blacklisted?
>>736435674I think it was more general caricatures (whites included), and a proper balance of silly and edgy non human characters, but yeah, like several anons have already pointed out, that approach will likely not be utilized, or BRUTALLY sanitized to the point that it's not recognizable
>>736410615>Elvis reference>outdated>in the era of Johnny Bravo
