Nintendo Gamescom Day 3

You think they will show new stuff about metroid

Damnit I fucked up, those are EU times not UK times.

>>388084469
It's hard to say because Metroid is a tricky game to demo. They may show off a new section of the game we haven't seen yet

>>388084473
Fucking brexit.

It's about to start

Since when Nintendo cares about Europe?

>>388085286
Since Xenoblade Chronicles

>>388085286
Well I mean Satoru Shibata is way better than Reggie

Who's ready for some sportsball?

>04:00 - 04:30: Classic games talk with Charles Martinet
Could this mean Virtual Console news? Maybe?

>>388085740
Probably SNES classic

>>388085740
charles martinet is not going to announce Switch VC at a European games conference lol

Good god, it looks so lifeless.

>FIFA runs at 1080p 60fps on dock mode
>still couldn't get Story Mode

Odd but not a deal breaker.

>>388086440
These games have story?

>>388086520
This one and the last one have a Story Mode based around an urban youth.

First one is his start of his career and the new one is the continuation of that.

>>388086440
>Story

>>388084396
>FIFA
So this game is the reason Sony has a stranglehold on Europe? Is it just something sonygers like, Europe having shit taste, or both?

>>388086779
Most of the gaming populace on Europe believe the game to run best on Playstation platforms, so much that it may as well be an exclusive over there.

This version may do well on the sheer idea that you can take it on the go anywhere and it runs at 720p 60fps in portable, or 1080p 60fps in docked mode.

Also, all the modes that matter to the audience will be there.

>>388086590
Sucks, but I'll take portable and mutliplayer over story
>>388086779
Most people who play games are casual. Sure you and your pals might play all the same stuff but the wider population sticks to shooters and FIFA in Europe. Probs shooters and NBA/madden/NHL in america

>>388086779
>Is it just something sonygers like, Europe having shit taste, or both?
It's the Madden of Europe. People in Europe love football, and Sony has all the marketing deals for FIFA. Even at big football matches Sony has bought a shitload of ads and billboards for the Playstation. So everyone who watches football knows Playstation and therefore instantly connects FIFA with Playstation

I'm worried Xenoblade 2 won't be as good as 1.

Grapple confirmed, no idea if its new

awwww yes you can switch between the Wave Beam and the Ice Beam on the fly

>>388086520
story?? what story?
do they mean the career mode?
shit i havent played fifa since 2001...

>>388088793
I hated 1 so I look forwards to some changes

>not all alpha metroids fights are the same, there is a fire apha metroid

AM2R BTFO

>>388088793
It's pretty hard to top 1. Just hope it comes close to it. So far my only fear is that the combat is too slow.

Phase Drift for puzzle solving looks awesome

Honestly this game looks great so far, way better than expected. Especially from Mercury Steam.

>enemies in the background are used for new escape sequences

Pretty good use of 3D.

>>388084396
Spaniard dev is hot

>>388088793
gameplay is already confirmed to be better pretty much based off what we know, both combat/exploration wise

>>388089021
Cooldowns are removed on arts though, I'm sure it'll be faster than XC1, not sure about XCX

>spazer beam can be upgraded to have a lightning effect
>that gravity suit color pallete
>that stylish jump after performing the melee counter sequence where she leaps into the screen

Pretty great desu.

>>388089230
It's like /v/ forgets that Nintendo can take mediocre devs like Silicon Knights and Factor 5 and make them churn out some god tier games under their whip.

Oh no sakamoto please dont ruin the lore even more

>>388089413
But you need to build up all arts, and can't move if you want to attack. Hope to see more tomorrow.

Like the look of the world and everything though, as opposed to most vocal people it seems.

>>388089449
>like Silicon Knights and Factor 5
And Retro. That studio was an absolute shitshow that spend more time and money on hookers than on development before Nintendo stepped in.

i am so fucking excited for samus returns

>>388089857
Is it september yet?

>>388088937
Holy shit I was worried about this. Shit was tedious in AM2R. Glad to see they added variety even within the same evolutionary phases.

>>388089504
More than any other Nintendo dev, I'd like a peak into Sakamoto's mind because nowadays it just feels odd how his games have played out. Not to downplay his mistakes and bone headed decisions, but a guy who goes from Super to Fusion to Other M to this, gets blamed for Other M's bizarre treatment of Samus then shows up to the reveal of Samus Returns wearing a t-shirt with the famous Nintendo Power art of Samus, the whole Gravity Suit aura debacle, and so on, has to have something going on there. Maybe he just went full Aonuma after Skyward Sword and went back on a lot of stuff he'd thought in Other M? Dunno. Probably just being optimistic.

>>388090002
Id imagine the flop of other m and how it was laughed at by everybody made him rethink a lot of things.
His bosses probably also asked him what the fuck was going on, you are killing metroid this way, stop

>>388090002
People shit on Sakamoto so much that it has become a meme at this point. A lot of the decisions made in Other M weren't actually his, despite people parroting that it was all his fault. For example, he wanted Other M to be a sidescroller, it was Team Ninja who wanted it full 3D.

But aside from Other M, Sakamoto has released nothing but greatness and all of his games perform great.

ey so we're waiting for FIFA? fuck this i'm out

>>388090171
FIFA is done. More Metroid gameplay up next.

>>388090171
ball on foot is over and wont be back

>>388090002
Sakamoto is a legitimately great dev with one huge blunder on his resume. Other M was such a disaster that it tainted his entire reputation.

>>388090125
warioware wiiu sucked tho

>>388090082
Almost all the music in the Prime series games is a fucking masterpiece.

>>388090274
Sakamoto had barely any input in that game.

>>388090390
He is listed as producer and game designer.

>>388090125
And as a scenario writer for other m
No excuses anon, he fucked up.

>Samus Returns has regenerating health now
That's pretty fucking gay, Mercurystream

>>388090257
People only hate Other M because it made Samus human, which means she has flaws. I like the fact that Samus is not just a mute robot and had internal struggles.
>But mum Ridley
She's going through a lot of old memories with Adam and Anthony there, only natural that it's easier for the unpleasant memories of Ridley to be dreaded up as an unintended side effect. Also, it's not like she didn't recover to stomp Ridley.

>>388090384
>Picking the second theme which was meh compared to the first one.

>>388090531
Oh thank christ, nevermind. The rocks the player was shooting was dropping energy and the pull range for the pickups was just massive.

For a second there I thought they went full retard with casualization, disregard me, I suck cocks.

You can move while attacking in a fixed direction, but you have to stay still for 360 aiming.

I love how it zooms out during boss fights

The budget really makes a difference against a simple fan game.

>>388092316
The not moving part was about Xenoblade 2, not Metroid. Metroid combat looks great.

Dear god they are learning

>>388092959
Looks damn good desu.

>>388092959
>Thoughts on the remake so far?
Metroid one looks great, M&L don't really care for it. Original M&L is still perfectly fine

I don't see why everyone's complaining about the new sprites for this game, they look pretty good imo. Specially in motion.
The originals were also good, but I don't really think these are necessarily worse.

Okay but will they give a release date for xenoblade, or will it be delayed another 2 years

>>388093319
They're different, not necessarily worse even though the old sprites had more charm.

>>388093319
They look too much like every other Mario title, while the originals had a very distinctive style. I still think the new sprites are good, but keeping the original style would have been better

>>388093352
>will they give a release date for xenoblade
Doubtful. They'll probably save that for a direct in a few weeks.

>will it be delayed another 2 years
No, it will release in November or December

>>388093319
It has more to do with the art direction, the original had a distinctive artstyle that is not being used in the remake, while character design remains the same it just looks too default, its missing the flavor

>>388093421
>SR features music from Metroid Prime
Ha, people who think Sakamoto disavows the Prime games blown the fuck out.

>>388093498
Watch those faggots now move the goalposts "he was probably forced to add it!"

This mode could have been a phone game and make millions
Investors will get mad again

>only two CP left
They should visit /tv/ them

>>388093709
>fun extra content should be removed from the game for a (probably fremium) mobile game
fuck off

>>388093709
Eat shit please

>>388093490
Tbh, it would be useless to make a remake of those games if you didnt change the artstyle because the other sprites were already perfect as they were. How would they improve it on the 3ds from a graphical perspective? Its not like they woulfmd benefit much from the increased resolution. At least now everyone has two choices if they ever want to play the game.

>>388093802
>>388093885
Just sating facts, never even implied I wanted it to happen calm down spergs

>>388092845
Tropical Dong, early to mid BotW, late 3D World, Kirby true arenas, 200cc Mario Kart, ARMS AI, Codename STEAM...

Is that enough.

>>388086440
You play as a dindu in the story mode. It's not worth it.

>>388093709
Good, the fact that Nintendo is still resisting phone shit is a good sign. Now if only they deal with the massive piracy problem on the 3DS.

They should just start bricking the systems that are modded. Won't catch everyone but it will kill off the low lying fruit.

IS IT SEPTEMBER YET

>>388093927
Personally I love what they did with the world, the lightning looks great and some areas look more alive but I would have preferred if they at least tried to recreate the original artstyle for the enemies, I loved how variations of koopa looked so different from each other

>>388094058
I dont think piracy on 3DS is anywhere as widespread as with DS

>>388084396
>watching the Metroid Samus Returns gameplay
>hear remix of Lower Brinstar
Fuck yeah man, I don't care if the game reuses all the Super Metroid tracks. The remixes are great, like what Prime did.

>>388094058
>They should just start bricking the systems that are modded
They can't anymore. They're modded in such a way that there's always a backup. Even when they blocked modded 3ds consoles from getting on the internet people could get themselves unbanned in just a minute.

I guess thats it for today I dont care about a splatton tournament
See you fags tomorrow

>>388085740
I do wonder what charles is gonna talk.

I mean, yeah, he actually has a repertorie of vidya works beyond being the official voice of mario, but, is he an actual gamer, or an actual retro gamer?

>>388094725

So unfresh

>>388094725
what about the martinet

>>388095219
>is he an actual gamer, or an actual retro gamer?
More like none of a gamer. He didn't even know what was going on watching the e3 Mario Odyssey trailer.

>>388093993
but he doesdu
He makes something of himself, more than can be said for you

>>388093498
I still have no idea where those claims come from. I've seen it around, being claimed by many for what feels like an age now, but I've never seen anyone source or base it on anything concrete or convincing.

It's just a baseless rumour isn't it?

>>388096662
yes

>>388093951
To be fair to end-game BotW, the difficulty is only as hard as you want it to be. Grind up the armor, upgrades, weapons, hearts, etc, and end game would be easy for anyone.

>>388099202
I wish the game could be harder without having to gimp yourself

So

Do you need amiibos to unlock fusion mode?

>>388090568
I liker that they gave (tried to) a personality to Samus but even that fell flat hard, and the gameplay and world exploration (or lack there of) was terrible

>>388099769
I mean, there isn't much else it could really do except give enemies more attack patterns and make them damage sponges. Botw is a very odd game; it's difficulty is almost completely reliant on your inexperience, but after a certain point anyone can conquer whatever it throws at you, either through the busted shit it gives you or just by experience alone. I like that it makes it feel like the player themselves are growing, but there's not much they can actually do to make it harder without adding new elements to the game entirely to throw people off.

>>388099769
The game is all about freedom. Restricting how you play the game kinda goes against the game design. They really put in a lot of thought into how to fulfill that goal.

How was Metroid?

>>388100234
Looks amazing

>>388095380

>We needed a Bounty Hunter and we got a legend

>>388084396
So has there been anything new or has it just been new footage of Metroid and Mario?

>>388086779
The vast majority of people buying consoles buy less than 5 games a year, and depending on the part of the world you're in, most of those games are annual sports titles.

Think about it, Bloodborne is one of the most vaunted exclusives for the PS4, but has a less than 3% attach rate?

Having EA Sports, NBA 2k, NHL, NFL, etc. in your repertoire is useful. It's like the inverse of something like a Platinum Games title, it's a tentpole, not a prestige product.

The Metroid evolutions redesigns are also fantastic

Wait, what was the discussion about classic games about?

Seems like I missed it.

These guys again

Anyone plays splatoon here? Are these players good? I cant tell

>>388106928
It's Turf War so who knows. That mode is casual as shit and doesn't show off what a player can do.

>>388107909
Just because it's not in ranked doesn't mean it's casual.
You tend to use more of the map than just the straightest path to the objective at that time.

>>388106928
They're meh, not that good

You can tell by how many players are using the Aeromeme and don't rush the middle in the beginning

No one uses the dual seperated joycon setup, how come? I feel like you can control the gyro aiming much better with it.

>>388109015

Which JoyCon operates the gyro? I might try it later.

>>388109225
The right one. So you don't have to worry about moving the left hand at all and it is much less distracting when it comes to the character movement.

>>388109225
Right

My hands hurt after doing it for a while, but I can understand why some people love them.

336KB, 797x758px

>>388109349

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot

>>388108187
It is casual. Shooting the ground is the objective and the real match doesn't even start until the last 30 seconds. Everything before that is pointless painting.

>>388108680
It's Turf War, the hindrance of having to ink every corner of the map forces players to not play aggressively. Splatoon is a very aggressive game at top level and Turf War forbids that, meaning that you can't judge a player based on his Turf War performance. They're limited from the start.

>>388109483
Try both with and without the handle. One of those setups will be the best for you, the other will be uncomfortable to your fingers after a while, depends on the size of your hands.

>>388109545
Thats not why Turf war is an issue, no one cares about every corner of the map, people eventually do it to charge their specials after revives eventually. Turf war is about pushing their front line closer to their spawn.

The issue with Turf war is that the entire game can change in 10 seconds, the last 30 seconds of the game is the only part that actually matters.

>>388109015
tried it, but it kept fucking up for me if i twisted my wrist slightly, so i went back to controller/handheld

>>388084396
What are the chances of them announcing a new game?

>>388109883
The only time it feel like it fucksup a bit for me was when using charges, specially the ones with scopes. What I do then is stabilize the right hand with my left hand's middle and ring fingers and then its just a matter of getting used to it.

>>388109978
0 but we can hope for VC or something like that.
