I got as far as the “ace mechanic” introducing herself. I’ve heard somewhere that the creators and directors behind anime, games, and other Japanese works that receive English dubs actually ask for this idiotic acting that isn’t even remotely like how real people actually speak, but I still hate it so much. That and the same 7 or so people doing the voice for every game and anime in existence. Somehow I’m wondering for the first time if it is the same in other language dubs. I don’t know any other language well enough to tell how realistic the voice work is. I generally play japanese games with japanese audio for this reason, but even that tends to be pretty different from how people speak after learning some degree of japanese. It makes me think back to how absolutely… ace phoenix/naruhodo and Maya/mayoi sounded in ace attorney vs Layton’s japanese audio only to become hammy even in japanese when they got their first voices in the main series. I actually learned japanese just because they said vs Layton and great ace attorney wouldn’t get English versions. They did in the end though…
Anyway hopefully the game will be good. I liked toriyama in the early days but after DBZ everything just felt like a DBZ reskin. Probably because of how long it went and having so many characters. When I played dqb2 with some friends we were calling all the characters by the names of similar looking past toriyama characters. Blue Arale, Hercule/Mr satan 2, etc.
I’m also kind of bummed by this but it’s looking great so far. On the upside it will be much easier to rope my friends with more… pedestrian tastes in videogames into it
Yeah… It looks great regardless but it’s quite different from the original helldivers. I’ll have to get used to not being able to see everyone on screen and the game being heavily balanced around friendly fire.
The shared-screen twin-stick design is fine, but Arrowhead has been doing it since Magicka. This feel like them getting their shot at making a wider-appeal, bigger budget game. Hopefully they stick the landing and managed to keep the feel of the original while expanding the gameplay.
This is a really neat solution, but I can also play GameCube ISOs off my hacked Wii for free without the need for hardware to accomplish it, so I can’t say there is a huge usecase for this other than people who want the clean implementation and the original GameCube look.
No, the Wii plays GameCube games natively. It has GameCube hardware in it. It’s not emulating the games.
You’re completely ignoring the difference between a natively run/performing game and the performance/bugs that appear when emulating. Even the best emulators can’t give you an exact playthrough like the native console would.
There are very few emulators that do that and they’re still limited to the 8 and 16-bit eras because the power required to emulate all the console’s hardware to accurately run the games is immense. Almost every emulator uses tricks to get close to native performance but they don’t actually emulate games the way they are played on the consoles.
I agree, homebrewing a Wii is so easy that I think I could do it in my sleep at this point. If anyone is debating between one or the other, Wii is the way to go you’re essentially getting two consoles in one (and there are even emulators/vc for almost every console that comes before them).
That being said, I just have to admire the work that people are putting in to the GameCube after all these years. There’s something really pleasing to me about its form factor and its simplicity compared to the Wii. This channel has several other showcases like this one if that sounds interesting!
Sounds better than my current setup. I have Swiss on a SD card plugged in with a memory card adapter, my roms on a micro SD card in the serial port using an SD2SP2. To boot into Swiss I have to use an Action Replay disc. It works but it’s a pain.
