When are they gonna make Episode 2?
>>12002595What genre is this game
>>12002603It's a floiganlike
It's an extremely mediocre adventure platformer and sold poorly as a result. also inb4 floigottry
>>12002595Serious question, why did this fail? Wasn’t it half the price of a regular Dreamcast game?
>>12002618The cover is pretty fucking terrible, those characters aren't appealing at all
>>12002618Because it was an awful game that nobody enjoyed featuring characters that appealed to no one.
>>12002621Uglier shit has sold better, look at five nights and fall guys.
...and cruise on Crash
redpill me on the Floigans, bros.
>>12002626The cover gives you absolutely no idea what the hell kind of game Floigan Bros even is.
>>12002647You're supposed to look at the back
>>12002619>>12002649still not funny
>>12002650Why would I when the front isn’t even interesting?
>>12002659Fair enough. Its only purpose now is a forced meme that one guy and his boyfriend find hilarious.
>>12002656Didn’t the guy who made Floigan Bros. get the game released with total confidence in it despite everyone warning him that it was a piece of shit? That anons posts are actually kinda poetic in that regard. They’re like a retelling of the Floigan Bros. legacy— boring shit that some weirdo tried desperately to shove down everyone’s throats for no apparent reason.
Seriously, has anyone actually PLAYED the game?
>>12002673Watched about 20 minutes of a let’s play on YouTube. Definitely doesn’t look like it’s worth checking out.
>>12002603>What genre is this gameIt's a weird game, and I don't think there is anything else quite like it. It's like a combination of Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, as you have to indirectly control the the large Floigan bro with the small Flogian bro.Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, you indirectly control Pac-Man by trying to steer him in the right directions to do his daily routines. It is also like a pre-cursor to the Telltale Sam & Max episodes. Floigan Bros. was meant to be episodic. But because it was a Dreamcast exclusive, It clearly never made it past episode 1. This was one of the very first games announced for the Dreamcast. The Flogian's appeared in the early launch commercials for the 9,9,99 North American launch release. Bernie Stolar described it as the game that would 'knock out Mario'.... which it did not. It was released near the cancellation of the Dreamcast with no plans for multi-platform ports. There was even DLC in this game that was discovered decades later. https://youtu.be/7BEiGmp3DAkThe 'it's thinking' commercials, even had teases for the game Giest Force. Which was a game that I was actually looking forward too. I've tried playing Floigan Bros.. but it could never hold my attention for a long enough period of time. The Dreamcast was full of weird experimental game ideas.
>>12002673It's fine if you enjoy fetch quest platforming, but it's really short. The charm comes from the setting and characters, but I don't see any praise for that anywhere and I can see why. Generic and ugly.
>>12002595When Mario moves over, of course.
Nice, now we can have a proper Floigan thread. What's your favorite thing about Floigan Bros, anons?
>>12002947The animations are nice, I guess. game isn't really fun to play and I hate the voices.
>>12002603You can't reach an apple on a shelf because you're three feet tall so you kick your retard brother in the shins until he punts you like a football and that's how you reach the shelf.
>>12002595I got my fucking post removed from the faggot janny for making a joke about this game a few weeks ago but this shit board is being overun by shit heads consolewarring and spamming PS3 threads.
>>12002623Based on just watching a video of it, it seems alright aesthetically. They're going for a cartoon style thing and it works reasonably well. Also apparently you can "trade Moigles" online?
>>12002603Platformer with adventure/puzzle elements.
>>12002595>bernie stolar thought this would be a system-selleroof
>>12003372Executive blindness.>It's a real life cartoon you can play! Check out these wacky characters!!
>>12002595They were capitalizing on the massive "Star Wars Episode I" craze at the time.
>>12002595I was curious about this game but from all the screenshots it looked more like a puzzle game than an action/adventure platformer I thought it was going to be.
>>12002595What's with the Dreamcast with bi-monthly episodic releases?
>>12002607>It's an extremely mediocre adventure platformerfloig yourself
>>12003976Face it, bubsy won
>>12002605It's the original Floigformer, actually.
>>12003507Yeah, it seems more like a point and click adventure that just so happens to have the movement of a platformer.
>>12002947How can you have a proper Floigan thread without the Floigan memster? That anon is the only thing that the game has going for it. To be honest, it was an interesting idea. But I agree. The characters are not very appealing... there is nothing that really draws you in. The game was marketing as the first real 3D interactive cartoon. The later Telltale games did this concept better, and they actually could deliver episodic games. Sam & Max episodes weren't always perfect, but they delivered a lot more likable characters and story scenarios. I still enjoy playing those. The Floigan Bros. is a strange curiosity at best.
>>12002595I feel bad for this game. It really should have had more love. Instead it's treated like a joke.
>>12004424It should have been Dreamcast's Toejam & Earl.
>>12004439>Dreamcast's Toejam & EarlLuckily it made it to the Xbox, so it wasn't all bad.
>>12004424>Instead it's treated like a joke.To be fair, it's hard to take it seriously when the PR guy called it a Mario killer
>>12004439>It should have been Dreamcast's Toejam & Earl.ToeJam & Earl 3 was originally in development for the Sega Dreamcast, and was in development by Visual Concepts as well... https://youtu.be/FZaYEG6Dmgc
>>12004424It isn't a bad game. The music and animation are extremely good. It got a raw deal because it's too weird and unique and jank for most people. Plus it's an exclusive to a console that was only a few months from being discontinued, and even people who like the Dreamcast probably just looked at the box and evaluated that it isn't "Sonic kewl" enough.
>>12002618Because it came late 2001 and the DC was already dead?Same reason why Shenmue stopped at 2 and even so, 2 was supposed to have 6 discs(that included Guilin training stuff of 3) but had 4 discs only starting Guilin because they had to have Shenhua on the series other than a dream.
Episode 2 would have destroyed Nintendo. Too much Floigan power. That's also why this series was never ported to the GameCube.
