theres no single player game I play every year. if you love a game that much, you should give it more space in between play throughs to keep it as magical as possible. I did probably my 7/8th playthrough of ffvii this year, and while it was still enjoyable Im worried the magic is running dry. might have to wait like ten more years before I go back.

How the hell did Retro Studios make such an incredible game on their first fucking try? Metroid Prime is such a fucking joy to play, the shooting is just fun, the world is incredibly designed and packed with secrets, the pacing is great, the graphics are among the very best of the generation, the music is incredible, everything about it is a masterpiece. I don't even like other Metroid games, just these first two Prime games they're just that good. Shame about 3 and 4.

What does that have to do with what I said? I know that R&D1 released a 2D Metroid alongside Metroid Prime and then made another one. But I was talking about how they have never considered making a 3D Metroid internally. And not even 2D nowadays. The IP is relegated to outsourcing since Zero Mission. Like Wario Land, Yoshi, and many others. It's not my problem if you can't see that Super Metroid, Zero Mission, even Fusion, or Wario Land 4 or SMW2 are miles ahead of anything in their respective IPs that they've outsourced since GBA.
>>
>>12234447
It really is a great game. While I think the criticisms of it being somewhat derivative from super metroid at points and the hunt at the end of the game are fair, it can't be denied that this was such a great entry for the series in 3d and is always a good time to go back to today. Learning that Prime came out the way it despite it's really rocky development is nothing short of astonishing. Glad you like it too, OP.
>>
>>12235806
Fusion came out at the same time as Prime and probably started development after.

What I said >>12234475 doesn't come from me. It comes from Retro Studio devs themselves. And yes, Metroid was dead at that point in time when they handed it to them. The last Metroid game was Super, 2 generations before, and Nintendo didn't seem to have any interest in bringing it back because Metroid and Super Metroid never sold that well, only in the US did the first Metroid performed well.

The fact that they successfully revived the series doesn't change the fact that it was dead before revival and that worldwide it was a niche series compared to other Nintendo inputs.
Even Super Metroid only really gained in popularity in the 00's, thanks to emulation and the revival of the series, in the 90's it did not have the status it's had since then.

yeah i actually totally wrote this game off because i was 100% confident it would be a disaster. then i finally played it at a kiosk at best buy and immediately bought a $99 cube along with the gameboy player

>>12234447
It was extremely fun to explore because the world looks great and it has outstanding music with a unique sound.

That last part is what’s missing from so many games in the last 20 years. I still listen to tallon overworld depths and chozo ruins every week while working.

You have 5 billion dollars. You decide to buy out the company in its entirety, all their IPs and everything else. You still have a few billion leftover, to make any games you could ever possibly want with neither money nor corporate overlords holding you back.

What are the first 1-5 games you'd be making? What changes do you make? What are your grand plans?

Honestly they both feel like 5th gen consoles. Dreamcast doesn't has that 6th gen feel and shares a lot of games with the Playstation 1.

>Dreamcast doesn't has that 6th gen feel
Does to me. When I was playing Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 on my GameCube I never remotely got the feeling that it didn't belong or that it belonged on the PS1 or N64. At best I feel it occupies the same spot the PC Engine did for 4th gen or the 3DO did for 5th gen.

I'll also never understand the hate for Rascal - sure, it only has like one boss fight copypasted for entire game, but otherwise I actually enjoyed it as a kid, even with tank controls and above average difficulty.

I actually replayed it recently - the idea behind abilities is fine and the artstyle is okay, but man you can tell it's some cheap clone of Spyro 2 (a bunch of copypasted mini-games, enemy models are being reused with minimal changes across levels, very short OST even if it's good) and that's my least favourite Spyro game out of original trilogy so this isn't some biased bashing of Muppets game.
>>
>>12231657
Spyro 1.
People like 2 and 3 better but I just dislike the mission system! I hate backtracking, I hate alternative gameplay systems for mini games. I didn't like it in Mario 64 and Banjo series either.
But Spyro 1? You just plug and play, no distraction. Pure 3D platforming with no mini games and side missions or even cutscenes outside of beginning and end (dragons are fast and skipable) it's just THE most 2D platformer-like full 3D platformer. Just go ahead and beat levels, explore and have fun.

>>12231657
>What are your favorite 3D platformers that aren't praised, well-known titles (Mario 64, DK64, Banjo-Kazooie, etc.)?
The greatest 3D platformer of all-time: Mirror's Edge.

Why the ps1 exclusive library is so underwhelming?

I love the N64 and saturn but damn i have suffered so many disappointement with the ps1

The only exclusive that i really loved was final fantasy vii, amazing game

The other stuff is either mediocre (resident evil, tomb raider, spyro..) or pretty good but not amazing(crash bandicoot, silent hill, metal gear solid..)

>>12235074
I'm not sure what exactly did you imply based on your image and image filename - are we supposed to discuss who of three mascots aged better or which of three featured games aged better?
If it's the former - Mario is the only answer here. Nights only had what, two games in almost 30 years? Crash has a good start with Naughty Dog but his value dropped like a rock after that and he never recovered (even though there were several tries to bring him back).
If it's the latter - I dunno, all three games are too different from each other. Mario 64 is a great 3D platformer that kinda kickstarted the entire genre and I still enjoy replaying it to this day. Crash 1 was "Sonic's Ass" project that tried to delve into 3D character platform action game while still maintaining 2D levels - the ending result is still great (even though it's either levels where you mostly go left or right or levels where you mostly go forward or backwards) because the graphics were fantastic for early 3D, and Crash 1 is still my favourite out of original trilogy due to game being designed around levels and not Crash and his abilities (he only has jump and spin). Nights is using 3D graphics but it's a 2D platformer, it's not even trying to be some kind of hybrid like Crash 1 was.

That one's okay, it has extra content and fixed some of the weapons/movesets. Downside is the framerate is awful and enemies and officers disappear/flicker out of existence constantly when there's a lot of them on screen. It's kinda funny actually, it makes it way easier dealing with multiple officers.

Probably 4. IIRC ranged enemies were literally programmed to prioritise targetting the player over everyone else if you were on a horse.

4XL is the only ps2 game i ever really put any time into.
Also some of the L11 weapon requirements are beyond cruel. I had to kite Zhang Fei on this mission for 40 minutes straight just to get a high enough killcount to get the weapon.

Guys, I just picked up a new 8shitdo arcade stick (v3) and tried swapping a Seimitsu LS-32 stick into it, but I think they changed the grounding pattern to be weird because the 5-pin connector doesn’t work with it. Can anyone help me?

Are you sure you don't have the connector inserted in the wrong orientation? Try unplugging it, flipping it, and plugging it back in.

I think V3 is just branding they dropped as people forgot the old licensed Mayflash N30 and whatever.
