Game Informer went to Game Freak's HQ recently and interviewed the developers, they managed to get some interesting info about the company, the Pokémon franchise and their relationship with Nintendo. Here are some of the things I didn't know, maybe you did, but I didn't:
- Iwata was a super programmer, a true coding genius, according to the developers that worked on the early titles, but, as far as they remember, he only helped with the localization process of Gold and Silver to America, contrary to the urban legend that says he himself coded the second area of GS into the game. Apparently, the japanese version had already been completed when he started to help with Gold and Silver.
- One of the main producers of Ruby and Sapphire was sure the game would fail back then, he thought no one cared about the franchise anymore and even had a nightmare the night before release regarding the failure of RS
- They said they have a good relationship with Nintendo but that Nintendo has no influence upon their work
- One of the interviewers asked "technically, could a Pokémon title be released on the PS4/Xbox One/PC, considering the way the IP ownership is split?" and one of the producers said "Yes, we could launch a Pokémon title there, but Nintendo are good friends"
- The developers said the old creature designs had more angular eyes, as opposed to the more circular eyes of today, due to hardware limitations of the Gameboy
- They said they pretty much take exactly 3 years to develop Pokémon games now and that they just started hiring more people to help with Pokémon for the Switch, which leads to speculation that the game won't be out until at least 2019/2020
- they also reiterated that they don't release Pokémon titles early in a console's life cycle, because they want to wait until more people own the current console
Thoughts, /v/?

I don't believe them, it was clearly sugimoris artstyle back then. Just make a game with more of that artstyle sugi!

I'm looking for a game like Progress Quest but interactive.
Just look at the game http://progressquest.com/play/
I want something like that, but where I control the character, decide what to grind and actually do stuff, not just watch it do it for me. I want to grind, get levels, unlock stuff, get better and better loot etc..
Thanks.

I ain't clicking that shit nigga.
In any case, many RPGs and JRPGs especially let you grind a lot.
Disgaea series is often regarded as one of the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) cases of a grindan simulator.

Speaking of Shenmue how well does it run on emulators? I've been wanting to replay the game for years but I've sold my Dreamcast a long time ago.

Her creator/director of the games she appeared in stopped being involved with the series, so there was no creative force for pushing her, and it was from a period when Kirby was still allowed to be experimental, before it found its little groove in tone, style, and cast. So she was never cemented as a core member of the main cast, while Meta Knight got to be since he was prominent in the anime, Kirby Air Ride, and Nightmare in Dream Land.

Unacceptable frame rate issues. Do not buy.

DO NOT buy this on Vita, it's unforgivable as a port.
Please for the love of god do not buy this. It would be worth it if it were free JUST to see how bad it is.

This game is pretty fun.
Never expected it to run fluidly AND look decent on my 2010 toaster but it does.

I had a lot of fun with it too. It's a shame it barely got any attention.

Shards of Darkness or whatever was better in everyway

>>386828545
I'm only playing it for the first time and just finished the first "chapter". Should I start over and try to ghost through on the first playthrough or should I just kill everything in sight?
Also, what difficulty should I play on, hard or goblin? I feel like goblin dumbs down the game because it encourages save scumming while removing combat and reducing the number of occasions where you just run and hide, i.e. work around your fuckups.
