Re: REYNATIS Looks Like a Scruffy But Oddly Appealing PS5, PS4 Action RPG

@RainbowGazelle I'm pretty hype for this but its looking a little PS3ish ngl. This is one of those few times where the backlash is understandable. Not only the graphics but framerate and animations arent looking too hot either. I sure hope they were using an early build for these trailers and that the final game will look much better

Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Seems to Confirm 164 Playable Character Forms

@AdamNovice the tenkaichi games were pretty much the definitive dragon ball games. Almost every character that threw a punch was playable, had the best combat mechanics in any arena fighter, had the large arenas to freely fly around in and destroy, etc etc. It's very exciting to see that series return on much more powerful hardware on a much larger scale

Re: Madcap Action Game Wanted: Dead Gets an Update Almost One Year After Release

Pepsiman_100

@CharlieChooChoo Yup. FYI the studio behind it, Soleil, is made up of ex Team ninja devs and one of the directors of Black directed this game as well. Dont be fooled like many other people tho. This game is its own thing. It doesnt play like ninja gaiden at all so dont expect fast paced combos and izuna drops and such. It just has a similar feel imo. Especially with how difficult and aggressive the enemies can be.

Re: Sony Hasn't Entirely Forgotten About Patapon Either

Pepsiman_100

Who knows if that's actually a new game or not but the og creators of patapon are now part of a new studio called TVT I think, and are making a successor called Ratatan. It looks great, it'll be on all platforms and should be supported by anyone who loves patapon

Re: Rise of the Ronin Preview Details Open World, Moral Choices, Combat, More

Pepsiman_100

I need to see more gameplay. I dont mind if it borrows some elements from nioh like combat or skill trees but I just hope it still leans more towards traditional action. I'm tired of the same style. The camera angled slightly upward when locked on, the shrine checkpoints, having to worry about armor and stats. And the stamina. My God the stupid stamina. I'm just so tired of it lol

Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Rise of the Ronin Out in March 2024

@TruestoryYep yea I played them all. They're good games and they do different stuff but they're all still souls likes and I've had enough of them. I don't want team ninja or any studio making the same type of game over and over. They can make new stuff like Rise of the ronin seems to be, or they can return to stylish action as well. Doesn't even have to be ninja gaiden. Could be a new IP in that genre as well. Like I said it's time they did else. Something new

@KundaliniRising333 Dude I feel ya. I cant really tell what it is tho. Some shots look similar to nioh but others make the game look like something new. I'm really hoping it more of its own thing. We've had 4 flippin souls likes from team ninja now. It is SERIOUSLY time they did something else. Especially for a studio thats among the best in action games

Re: US Retail Giant Best Buy Allegedly Binning Physical Media

Pepsiman_100

I've been to a few different best buys and none of them really even had a dedicated game section. You'd see a couple racks with some controllers, maybe a new release or two, and a buncha older stuff. Best buy was never the go to for games imo. I've seen much better from Walmart.

Regardless I mostly get my games online anyway. I'm still focused on collecting all the ps2 era games I was never able to get as a kid and by the time I get around to the more recent games they're already half price on ebay 🤷‍♂️

Re: Jim Ryan Retires as PlayStation Boss in March 2024

Pepsiman_100

If the new guy does actually try to bring playstation back to its japanese roots like everyone is hoping, let's hope that these games actually attract enough people and sell well enough so that Sony will keep pushing in that direction. People claim to be tired of their current exclusives and whatnot but those same games are the ones selling millions while those cool creative games they claim they want don't even make half of that

Re: Preview: Like a Dragon Gaiden Feels Like an Evolution of the Yakuza Franchise

Pepsiman_100

@MikeOrator The yakuza games have always had wild stuff but theyre still grounded and on the more realistic side. Compare that to streets of rage 4 where axel can set his fist ablaze and do a giant phoenix uppercut, adam can punch the ground and have energy blades sprout up, floyd who can form a laser cannon with his cybrog arms, shiva who can clone himself, etc. I wanna slam a dude into the ground and leave a crater, uppercut someone into a neon sign and it explodes, and slam a dude into a basket ball hoop or something. Thats the kind of game I wanna see from RGG
