BG33's success could be compared, I guess, market wise.
However, without taking away all it's qualities, it also benefited, IMHO, from a combination of favorable éléments, a.k.a, the stars aligned somehow.
A beloved franchise name, devs with street cred on growing indien games among the same community of players, hasbro's money... xD
Matches made in heaven.

Like you said though, both games, to a degree, revolved on mechanics people regretted not experiencing anymore, or altered to a degree they somehow disliked.

So, somehow, I guess, those games made them feel like they had been heared among the mainstream's voices supposedly only caring for real time action and si on...

Re: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Beta: All Start Times, How to Play, and What's Included

Agreed on technical performance and, as a marvel fan, I'm really, really enjoying it too.
Yeah, I'm kind of a casual too. I try to play fighting games as much as I can but I'm far from a good player.

I just ended a session that's been going way better due to finding an opponent on my level so I got to play and test stuff.
Otherwise, against better players, it felt like a single player game lol.

I'm with you on photo mode.
Them including white colored doom made my day tbh ^^
But, overall, the characters ' attitude are off the charts and the ultimates are great to look at too.

Can't wait for the final roster.

I'm in too, what do you think so far?

My Dr DOOM is getting his ass kicked by the army of spiderman/ghost rider (clearly I haven't cracked the code/rules lol), but I can't say I'm not falling in love and want to see more.
I feel like the first time I played DBFZ... 12 again ^^

I just wished this beta offered a training mode or dummy to train again... even though it's clearly not the point of a beta.

Finally started No Man's Sky with my PSVR2, living out my childhood fantasies ^^
Still somehow into the tutorial as I had a harder time adjusting to the commands than I thought I would but, so far so good, very happy and, as it turns out, the psvr2 controller's battery life somehow match my VR tolerance for now.

Re: 'It's Been a Dream': Marvel Boss Raves About PS5 Fighter's ArcSys and PlayStation Team-Up

@0niguy @PuppetMaster
Agreed 100%
It's always interesting to see a different take on well established arts (music has "covers" after all).

With the anime take on comics' IP, it's particularly interesting, I think, considering that comic's artists embraced the influence themselves mid to end 90s.
Artists like Joe Mad, probably leading the charge, but not only.

So, it's kind of going full circle.
Much like Star Wars Vision (Star Wars Tales from anime studios), when you think about the Japanese and Kurosawa influence on Star Wars ^^.

Anyway, all that to say, unless there is a very bad surprise, this game is day one for me.

With FighterZ and this, ArcSys has taken complete ownership of my childhood's dream (not to erase the Capcom's Marvel games, I still remember how I felt the first time I saw X-Men Vs Street Figther in arcade ^^)

Re: Remakes Eclipse Remasters for PS5 Gamers, Generate Double the Money

One that blew me away was
Wonderboy : the dragon's trap
Indicated as a remake, though everything is the same as the original except the completely remade graphics, animation, music etc.
You can still switch on the spot from the remake to the original in game.

Made me appreciate just how far ahead and timeless the game design was, it feels like it could have been a moden game from the start.

Can't answer for everyone else but, afaic, watching the bests of the bests, you also find new techs and way to strategize your games... As well as the thrill of watching whether your favorite will win or not.

Whatever the field you are into, watching experts applying their savoir faire is often entertaining and enlightening imho ^^
