For role play purposes we could add scars and stuff after particularly nasty fights, or maybe face paint/tattoos if your backstory imaginations involve tribalism and body art trophies.
Maybe if Larian feels like it they can have different npcs react if your character changed since they last spoke to you, like suddenly vibrant blue hair is now red
You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners
Never got used to the handling of the ships in Wipeout as a kid. Enjoyed F-Zero X a lot more. Didn't really care for the combat aspects either.
I wish there was a good anti gravity racer for the PC with extensive ship customization and lots of unlockables though (as in playing to unlock, not paying). There's pretty much just small indie titles and most of them aren't even particularly good.
Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!
I think it’s generally agreed that pretty much all our genre naming conventions are bad and alternatives exist. youtu.be/uepAJ-rqJKA has a pretty good description of an alternative, where you describe games by their core reason for play as opposed to mechanics or camera perspective
Lots of hobbies or industries have terms that are a bit off but accepted by everyone in the know as institutional knowledge. It’s no surprise gaming is the same and it’s unlikely to change 50 odd years in.
I don’t care as long as it’s a decent resolution LCD.
Honestly comparing switch game storage with PS5 storage seems off. They’re completely different beasts with games that aren’t nearly as big or as detailed. If I can upgrade it like the current switch with a microSD or with a nVME like the PS5, it’d all the better.
It’s a reboot. They could definitely turn it into a AAA budget production. Maybe make it an open world GTA clone, like the Yakuza series; where 90% of the game is side activities that don’t even involve driving a taxi.
Hold up… Battle Royale in CRAZY TAXI? GaaS wouldn’t be surprising, but that last bit gives me doubts. Then again… It’s an arcade game. I suppose instead of a high score table, it could be an elimination thing… 🤔
I can imagine Rocksteady could have made a solid game in the vein of the Arkham series if WB execs with zero competence didn’t interfere. A real waste of talent.
I feel like it is hard to mess up the formula as long as it doesn’t get too “modern gaming”. I was playing my Dreamcast over Thanksgiving and really wanting a new Crazy Taxi and JSR so I was pumped at first when I saw this, but I’ve stopped believing in the hype for games a decade ago.
I’m so happy they’re moving away from the “New Super Mario” formula.
Too bad they’re still going nuts on “everything is made out of plastic” look for the 2D games, but everything else is looking to be a major return to the World formula and that’s great
