[Wii #227] RPG console van deze generatie

quote:

The MotionPlus allows for pretty good one-to-one mirroring when it comes to the sword positioning, and there are plenty of opportunities for the developers to revel in the added fidelity it offers, throwing up obstacles like doors fitted with inquisitive motion-tracking eyeballs that can only be defeated if you first render them dizzy by spinning your blade around quickly.

quote:

Combat focuses on enemies who will block both horizontally and vertically, meanwhile, which means that tackling even standard foes requires really quick responses as you work out the best way to strike, while fighting the demo's giant scorpion boss quickly turns into a frantic struggle as you slash at eyes concealed by snapping mandibles before lunging, at just the right moment, to stab a final concealed weak spot.

quote:

While the changes to the control scheme may not seem too significant, they really enhance the feel of the game, allowing you to mix up your approaches to problems as you switch in and out different gadgets, turning even the humblest of battles against a Moblin into an encounter that feels a little more significant than it normally might.

Such a focus on the basic mechanics, however, means it's impossible to get a sense of whether the wider game has had a similar recalibration in terms of structure and pacing. With its swing attacks, bombs, and slingshots, the tiny slice of The Skyward Sword shown today currently feels like a smart refinement - time will tell if it has enough to please those players who are after a touch of reinvention, too.

quote:

Got plenty of hands-on with this. Gotta be honest it took some time to get used to it. If you're a vet, you're gonna need to learn to re-wire your habit of "mashing" sword attacks out and paying attention to enemies, as well as how you use weapons.

You do have to emphasize your swings, and yea, there are some small issues with this, but my hate of motion controls aside, it's better than Twilight Princess Wii by a mile. And the visual style has grown on me, though I really want to see more environments (this area felt like the forest on Outset Island) to get a better feel. I want to know if cutscenes are in-game or pre-rendered like parts of the trailer.

Loved the bow and arrow and how you don't have to point at the screen anymore. Bomb stuff was fun, but it was dropping them on enemies from the air that was the best. Whip was meh, but the flying bug thing was cool. Enemy AI is much better, but nothing was terribly challenging. Holding A to "dash" was kinda annoying, especially that this was the only way to be able to roll (when you shake the nunchuk during a dash). And why did they axe the ability to move and swing your sword? Best part was being told by the lady the jump attack was gone, and 2 mins later, jump attack.

I know this wasn't asked at the round table, but I was told the game probably supported left-handed and right-handed options for players. Aside from a handful of questions, the round table Q&A was lackluster. I was shocked nobody pushed Aonuma on the subject of just how they were changing the "formula" (I know they discussed it, but that answer was so ambiguous).

So basically, I had fun with it, but it was not what I was expecting, and I'd still rather use a GCN controller for swordplay (though the swordplay and bow controls are better than the Wii version of Twilight Princess). I really need to see more substance...this was too focused on the basic controls.

Shigeru Miyamoto has said, once again, that Pikmin 3 is still in the works, and there is a reason it was not shown at E3 this year.

Speaking at a panel during E3 this evening, Miyamoto said that when Pikmin 3 is shown, he wants all eyes on it and nothing else, basically.

He didn’t want to show Pikmin 3 here because he wants people to focus on it and there was a lot of “other stuff here that may have stolen its thunder”.

“Rest assured”, said Miyamoto, “we are making Pikmin”.

So, there you have it. Still in the works. Didn’t want 3DS, Zelda, or anything else stealing the spotlight.

You can sleep well now, pretties.

In het begin dacht ik echt wtf, maar eigenlijk is het best wel een briljante artstyle.

quote:

The cast of Mushroom Kingdom characters get together to play sports - Mario style. While the basic rules of the games apply, each one includes some magical Mario twists like coins and special items that ramp up the craziness and fun.
While playing, gathering coins will build up bonus points. So when players score a point or basket, they also get the added bonus.
Players collect items like a Koopa Shell to use against their opponents. They can even use special items to beat up on the other team while shooting or spiking. One example of a special ball move is using a Mini Mushroom to shrink the ball before it's returned to the other side of the volleyball net.
Each character has a signature move that's almost impossible for opponents to stop. These include Mario's fireball moves or Princess Peach's heart-filled attacks.
In the field of play, a variety of tricks will keep players on their toes. On DK Dock, the volleyball court will continually slide to the left and right. On Bowser Jr. Blvd, the basketball court has bonus circles that frequently appear, offering both positive and negative bonuses that result in extreme point swings.
In each sport, play with up to three players cooperatively or with up to four players competitively in a two-on-two match (additional accessories required and are sold separately).

Buiten al het E3 nieuws om ben ik ook steeds meer gehyped voor Xenoblade, ik lees echt heel veel positieve ervaringen vanuit Japan. De game schijnt in de eerste week 83k verkocht te hebben en daarmee boven SMG2 gekomen te zijn in Japan.

US/EU release nog steeds niet bevestigd, maar het lijkt erop dat de kans steeds groter wordt.

Gooi me eens op de chat.

I'm about 12 hours in, and I'm having a blast. the sheer scope of each area is incredible.

The side quests have been the bulk of my gameplay so far, but they're a blast to do. The actual story parts I've done have been a lot of fun, too. The bosses have been really interesting, especially when Vision is incorporated into it.

I have to say, quite simply, that Xenoblade is one of the most progressive JRPGs I've ever played. Period. Soma Bringer started it, and Xenoblade takes it to the next level.

quote:

Hello,


Thank you for writing to Nintendo! I certainly understand your interest in the Xenoblade series, and you should be happy to know that Monado: Beginning of the World has been announced for release in North America. Although it has been announced for release, there is currently no scheduled release date.

GoldenEye 007, from Activision and Eurocom, is exclusive to Nintendo because of a gap in the Wii's line-up and because Activision wanted to partner with Nintendo. That's according to Brian Pass, senior producer at Activision.

When asked why GoldenEye 007 is exclusive to Nintendo platforms, Pass said: "There are a number of different reasons for that. One's we have a partnership with Nintendo. It's a great opportunity. This game was originally on the N64, so there's the nostalgia factor for people that are Nintendo fans. So we wanted to partner with Nintendo for this.

"There's opportunity. So, the opportunity on the Nintendo Wii platform is huge. There's roughly 12 million Wiis in North America. But it's not really a console that a lot of shooter fans are playing on. So we wanted to offer them their own first-person shooter, that's unique and exclusive to that console."

Pass thinks the reason gamers aren't playing shooters on the Wii is because they don't like using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. GoldenEye 007 will feature Classic Pro Controller support.

"Why are people not playing shooters on the Wii? I don't know," said Pass. "Maybe it's because people don't like using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck. They don't like using the pointing device. Now they've got the Classic Pro Controller. This is dual analogue stick. It's got the exact same layout you find on PS3 or 360.

"You put this in a shooter fan's hands and they instantly know how to play. We feel that the opportunity and the time is right. And partnering with Nintendo is a huge opportunity for us. We really want to tap in to the nostalgia for Nintendo fans, and take advantage of the opportunity presented by the platform."

Xbox 360 and PS3 owners hoping they'll get a version of GoldenEye 007 in the future probably shouldn't get their hopes up. "We can't talk about that," commented Pass, while Dawn Pinkney, primary producer, Eurocom simply said that "it belongs to the platform that it should be on, which is Nintendo".

GoldenEye 007 is due for release on Wii and Nintendo DS in November.
