The PlayStation 3D platformer choice of the patrician.

Got it randomly from a cousin throwing out his old games during the PS2 era. Started out thinking it was pretty easy and wound up very surprised by the depth the game develops in some of its later stages.

It was really awesome.

Was this the first console 3D platformer?

He was also inspired by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga "Arion", which he claimed his distinctive shading style was inspired by.

They'd definitely have to lean towards newer generations and casual just-passing-by players who maybe aren't even that into video games to have a fighting chance. Even then, in a world with mobile phones, it's questionable. Maybe a net cafe could work. There's no way these things are gonna be packed with 20-40+ year old gamers all the time. Would you even commit to going to one routinely many times a week as a person who loves these things yourself? Think about that.

If I had to place a bet, it's that these work as gimmicks for a few years and then die off.

I love em man we have a few in my city. As a kid I always dreamed of being able to just cram $5 bill after $5 bill into those coin machines, cause you know back then that seemed like a million bucks worth of quarters. Now I can still do that, and have a few cold ones. Anyway that's my thoughts. The Barcades here are very mixed crowd, not just 1 social group, also males/females. Girls get drunk and go nuts on that that Pacman 4 person Battle royal thing. I'm sure it all just depends on location man. I personally also find myself playing pinball, as opposed to the classics I grew up on like MK, X Men, etc...

enjoy your f-zero thread

>a wipeout thread
>with only 2 replies
let me fix this for you OP.
First of all, basically every game in the retro "old trilogy" is worth playing. 1 is worth playing just to see how it started, but the game itself is a bit clunky. 2097 and 3 improve massively.
2097 is the fan favorite, you can't go wrong starting there.
3 is also loved, but there are two versions that fans dispute over. The regular edition has 8 tracks, but the european special edition adds 8 more from wipeout 1 and 2, along with tweaked ship handling, and some minor stat changes for qirex and icarus to fit with the new physics.
You'll have to try both out for yourself. I prefer the SE physics (which are in this webm) but the remade tracks aren't great as they really fucked with the lightning of the 2097 ones, and some people don't like the SE version physics.
Wipeout 64 is basically WipEout 2097.5. It's worth playing as well.

There is only one actual PS2 wipeout game, which is fusion. It's good, but a black sheep for being extremely different from the PS1 games. Go into with an open mind, because it is nothing like any other wipeout game in any sense. There is also a PS2 port of wipeout pulse, which brings me to the PSP games.

These PSP games are by and large, optional. Pure was the first one, which has way more content than pulse, the other PSP counterpart. But it was really shite handling, and feels too slow. A PS3 re-make called WipEout HD/Fury is basically the two PSP games put together, and is without a doubt the greatest non-retro wipeout game.

Then there is 2048.
Don't play that one.

ACE COMBAT 22 for the arcades has the closest and best Top Gun soundalikes ever.

I think Doom 1 and 2 has a whole fucking mess of ripped music.

What's your problem with it? It's all the games in one package with extra options.

"Stay awhile and listen"

Whenever in doubt, level up dexterity.

I've been on the fence about reinstalling Diablo 2 and trying out the Median XL mod. Either that or give Torchlight 2 a try.

It's been a few years since my last D2 play through and I'm getting the itch.

Good god, the memories I have of that game.

While the graphics were dogshit, split-screen coop with a buddy while you both played Warriors was legitimately some of the most fun you could have with a PS1.

The same snot nosed 90s kids who almost killed pinball playing Mortal Kombat and consoles, are now helping it make a comeback. So ironic and joyful hah

>>3196478
Snot nosed 90s kid(87) who played MK here. I think you mean 80s kid who killed pinball. I(or people my age) barely had any money to spend on gaming let alone any arcades to spend it at.

It's kinda clunky coompared to later marvel titles but it's fun, for single-player the AI is pretty shit though, you have to exploit it to get further.

How many quarters do you have? How high is your tolerance for "mad"? This is the only game disc I've physically broken in half in a fit of rage.

>>3264517
Unlimited play

Semi-related but I always thought they should've made a theme park or water-park based on a classic platformer like SMB3 or SM World.

Castle from Mario 64.

The RPD from RE2

Its only the first TR thats like that

>>3264462
Yeah this, Tomb Raider 1 is the one you're looking for OP

Dammmmn really? Do 2 and 3 have any supernatural shit, like later on?

I only had master of arena.

Probley my first real taste of videogame rage. Most of the Ex arenas turned me into a gibbering retard.

The Playstation Armored Cores at the only ones that let you play in first person mode without needing to beat the game first. Whoever came up with that stipulation for the PS2 games and on need to fucking kill themselves.

Oh look, it's the game that I had on 3DO as a kid and gave me actual legit PTSD.

What about him?

Are you saying he's hard or something?

Get gud, kid.

>Nina Williams's lingerie and teenage sex appeal ought to be outmoded and embarrassing, but women in video games are still fashioned in exactly the same way, like posters. Only the barest efforts are made now to give them complexity or humanity, or at least disguise the fact that game-makers couldn't care less about women, and most of these fail anyway.

Nice.
