    Also gotta assume one of them moved the kangaroo to have its ears line up with Greg's head.

    Hahaha, okay, so THAT'S why.

    The reason I asked is because I'm playing The Old Republic right now and I'm in a dialogue scene with a dude who happens to have a very similar modulation.

    And his first line just happened to sync up exactly with the first time Greg got modulated. And then the second line synced up exactly with the second time Greg spoke.

    So I spent a minute thinking that TOR was doing some freaky stuff to my stream audio.

    Saying that they try to match you up so that you're likely to talk to people in Titanfall is... interesting

    a nice thing that I don't know if it'd work but that's something I don't think I've ever heard of before

  • cooljammer00cooljammer00 Hey Small Christmas-Man!Registered User regular
    I still think it's crazy that they removed a game mode from the PC version cause no one was playing it.

    Fuck that. It's not the point!

    I'm pretty sure they just removed it from the matchmaking pool. You can still play games of it with friends.

    I think this is about the time where a bald beefy bouncer type dude in black clothes drags the drunk guy out of the venue.

    So...expect Vinny to toss out Greg Miller soon enough.

    man

    splatoon and codename steam are both still just so nuts to me

    like, when is the last time nintendo has brought that level of creativity and differentness to bear

    the last example i can think of is like... wii sports?

    and frankly the art design of the miis has always been kind of ehhhhhhhhhhhh to me

    if you just showed me splatoon and and codename steam i would assume that they were third party games being published by nintendo

    but splatoon is being made by friggin' nintendo EAD and codename steam is the fire emblem studio

    it's crazy

    Is Intelligent Systems in-house? I thought they were a real close 3rd party studio

    i mean fire emblem is first party enough to qualify for smash bros., so

    I'm sort of imaging that Nintendo guys sat down one day and said.

    "Okay, we need some new stuff. Like, new IPs." and all agreed and then sent messages out to their studios and guys and said "go nuts make stuff".

    And bam here we are with these new IPs and open world Zelda and who knows what else is going to pop up.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    Right?

    Nintendo winning (in my opinion) E3 via original IPs?

    I would have not predicted this in a million years.

    now sora ltd is a real close 3rd party studio

    I um

    don't understand why people are so excited about splatoon

    it looks like a fairly rudimentary arena shooter with a gimmick that might be good?

    also i just checked their wikipedia page and they've never published a game on anything other than a nintendo platform so they are for all intents and purposes a first party studio

    It's a fundamentally different take on conventional multiplayer shooter mechanics! That's exciting.

    It is the most unique, original looking arena shooter I have seen in several years with a strategically interesting gameplay mechanic and a great art style.

    I mean, what else could I really ask for in a game?

    fire emblem has been a nintendo ip for a good 20 years now

    this, + it's a genre that nintendo has made little to no forrays into, + it's got a really great art style that's extremely distinct from anything else nintendo has put out

    it's them doing what people have been asking and making a new ip that turns an established genre on its head

    if you want to get technical here smash bros is developed by two different third party studios that nintendo has licensed to use its intellectual properties

    Splatoon reminds me of Tony Hawk's best multiplayer mode, Graffiti

    Vinny actually sounded pissed.

    I know he isn't, but we actually heard him for like the first time in 3 days
