| s0nicfan 09/17/21 4:08:49 PM #2 | I feel like the vast majority of "upgrades" are a byproduct of planned obsolescence.

That said Nick had put no eggs in the SpongeBob basket at that time as Gargoyals ended two years before SpongeBob premiered. That might be what was throwing me off, as I've never had the Disney Channel but clearly remember watching Gargoyles as a kid. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I'd love to see the modding community get their teeth into the game on PC. We'd have HD sprite packs by the end of the year. It would totally transform the game. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz |

| s0nicfan 09/17/21 3:43:22 PM #1 | It's still entirely possible that they bring it back, but it's a shitty port with bad netcode, but even if only for couch play I'd love to have some official means of playing the game again outside of busting out my Dreamcast or 360. https://finalweapon.net/2021/09/16/both-disney-and-capcom-have-seen-the-freemvc2-movement-according-to-digital-eclipse/ In a recent interview at Shacknews, Digital Eclipses Mike Mika shared some updates regarding a return of Marvel vs Capcom 2. According to Mika, both Disney and Capcom have seen the #FREEMVC2 movement across social media. Mika implies that communications between the companies have began to some degree. Heres what he had to say: I know for a fact from our early conversations that both companies recognize this Theyve seen it, they know. If youre at either one of these companies, I think theres the Im wearing the company hat and also the heres what I want to do while Im here and try to make it happen. I think we have a lot of people in the lets try to make it happen camp, its just a matter of navigating all the red tape.Ultimately, it comes down to profitable for both companies. We believe that bringing back Marvel vs Capcom 2 is easy money and should happen already, especially with veteran developers like Digital Eclipse at the helm. The #FREEMVC2 movement has garnered the attention of fans and newcomers alike who want the game on modern platforms.

| s0nicfan 09/17/21 3:30:46 PM #12 | Jabodie posted... I feel that. I doubt it will be well optimized though. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here that the problem was ultimately trying to build a game for base, pro, and next-gen consoles all the same time. Somewhere along the line it's pretty clear they made the call that they weren't going to prioritize last gen and the end result was what we got. If this new game is next gen only it should avoid this problem. The key word being should. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 09/17/21 3:27:03 PM #5 | It was a good show, but Gargoyles aired on Nickelodeon a decade earlier. While being a narratively driven cartoon made it part of a rare breed, let's not pretend that it did something that hadn't been done before.

| s0nicfan 09/17/21 2:40:35 PM #6 | It sounds like it's bunch of executives having a legal pissing contest and just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Japanese toymaker Good Smile Company, which has business in the United States, is being sued by two former executives in a lawsuit that alleges the company engaged in tax evasion, discrimination, and selling over-sexualized anime figures depicting minors, which they said may violate United States obscenity laws. The former employees, Guy Brand and James Young-sik Kim, filed a cross-complaint in a California court after Good Smile sued the two former executives in 2020 for an alleged brazen instance of corporate misconduct that included breach of contract and unfair competition. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Sometimes she'll follow them, sometimes she'll say it's a dumb idea, but the end result is that the writer still has flexibility on how to respond and the audience still gets to see their suggestions in one form or another. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Yeah he's still very clearly passionate about fighting games, he's also pretty obviously becoming more and more disillusioned with Japanese fighting game devs for their absolute refusal to embrace rollback or put any real effort into making good netcode Given that he pays something like $1,800 a month to tap into an Enterprise level fiber cable that just happens to be running through his backyard, I could see his tolerance for having really terrible online lag decreasing after every bill. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 09/16/21 11:54:02 AM #19 | The complaints seem valid, but certainly not strong enough to give it a zero. If all the negatives a true (broken PC build, PS5 performance hiccups, hilariously stupid AI, some ability jank, biomes not varied enough, getting stuck in terrain, etc) then it's definitely not a 10 either. Some of the complaints though (dated graphics, too much like Dishonored) are definitely nitpicks from someone looking to give it a low score. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Sony made the baffling decision to both omit most of their biggest names and make it so you could only kill with a super. Sony's mistake wasn't being a SSB knockoff. It was trying too hard to NOT be a SSB knockoff by being "different for the sake of being different." --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I thought Hades had a pretty good system. You could save state only after clearing out a room and loading the save erased it so there was no way to cheese the game through save scumming. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 09/15/21 4:26:39 PM #69 | CADE FOSTER posted... lets be real 60 has been the price point since early 2000's inflation hits everything but not games why not Because it costs basically nothing to sell additional copies, so while the price of the game has remained static the number of copies being sold has increased dramatically. For a number of years call of duty was regularly pulling in a billion dollars in sales in its opening weekend.

You need to perform eight assassinations in one day but it's structured like a roguelike so it's not actually possible to do it on your first pass.
