@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games It seems like there is some sort of ‘gameplay formula’ that they use, doesn’t it? I know a lot of the artists are incredible there though.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I also really think game devs that think of their game as a sum of its parts make much worse games than those who have a vision of the project as a whole.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I completely agree. Some of the best games of all time would lose a lot of points in a category or two but when viewed as a whole deserve a perfect score while some mediocre games are technically good in a lot of categories.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Is the percentage totally independent of the X/5 scores above it? It looks like they add up to the score but 3+3+5+4=15 and 15x5=75

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games It sounds like maybe they didn’t figure out the gameplay well enough considering they were 80% done with what sounds like 2 half hearted game modes? It’d be cool to see post cancelation dev logs about the specific issues that led to the cancelation.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games They predicted the invention of drones haha

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games That first paragraph! 😂

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games It seems like maybe you have got a real soft spot for saturn/model 2 but I can relate. Those games have a really distinct feel to them! I was so excited about the dreamcast because that was sort of the peak and death of the arcade at the same time.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Man the way they gush about this game compared to actually playing it is wild. I struggle to enjoy any 3D fighters from before Tekken 3. That was the first one I got into.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games In fact in my opinion the one thing that makes KOF 98 feel more dated than Third Strike is the sprite scaling and that’s the most technologically advanced part of the game, haha.
