Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell
Yeah, absolutely agree with this point of view. Dne 18.10.2010 23:29, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi, I have no idea what happened to James North aftr he closed up shop. I haven't talked to the man by phone or via e-mail in four years. So really have nothing more to say on that subject. Although, I admit Monkey Business was to say the least interesting.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi, speaking of vanishing platforms, there is a paticular game which comes to my mind here. When I still had sight I had an comodore amiga 500 at home. There was a game called BC Kid. Basically the main character was a guy where the head was a lot bigger then the whole body. In the various levels you killed the enemies by hitting them with your head. Some enemies needed more then one hit and the bosses needed a many hits of cause. Well, to come back to vanishing platforms: There was a stage which looked like a giant toy shop or something like that, the boss there was a giant toy car which tried to roll over you. In one level of this stage, there were giant square blocks to jump on. You started on the bottom of the level and had to get to to top by jumping on these blocks. But the tricky thing was, that these blocks split in the middle as soon as you landed on them. Thus, you had to keep jumping from block to block and couldn't rest anywhere, because you would fall down. It could be quite frustrating when you almost reached the top and then you stay on a block a split second too long and fall back down all the way. But this where the type of games which I liked to play and still would if I had the sight to do it. Unfortunately, I can't think of any game for the amiga which would be possible to play without sight, except maybe the early street fighter titles which came out for this system.

[Audyssey] Happy 25th Birthday, Nintendo NES
Happy 25th Birthday, Nintendo NES 7:00 AM - October 19, 2010 - By Marcus Yam - Source : Tom's Guide US My childhood in a box. Earlier this week we ran the story about the first release of Windows 1.0 in 1985, when some of you, who are reading this now from a Windows 7 machine, weren't even born yet. If that didn't make some of us feel old yet, there's also another important birthday in history this week. A quarter of a century ago, on October 18, 1985, Nintendo sold the very first Nintendo Entertainment System console in FAO Schwarz New York City. While the NES wasn't the first successful video game system at home, it was the start of a worldwide gaming giant whose dynasty continues today. Some of us may call our PC as the home for our favorite games today, but for many of us our early gaming experiences were on the NES. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell
That is true, and I wouldn't even give a tentative release until I was certain. At the least I would do what Tom is currently doing and maybe periodicaly post betas but say no more subject on the release dates. At worst, I'd do what mainstream devs do, and release new trailors every so often that include sneak previews of certain faatures. Though the thing I lke most about mainstream games... most of these games have their own dedicated websites for anouncements, videos, screenshots, etc. And in this day and age, devs also use facebook and twitter to update as well. - Original Message - From: Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net To: clement chou Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 1:51 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell Hi Clement, You said that from the James North situation, Though I guess if there's one thing I learned if I were to become a dev would be, always keep people posted on what's going on with the game.

Re: [Audyssey] marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
I wouldn't say SC IV went backward, but it did not go forward as expected. In my opinion, once a game reached a certain level of greatness, it's best for them to just stop making it otherwise, the backslide begins. I loved the first 3/4 Resident Evil titles, but after that, it's all the same old thing, different tricks and different angles, but overall, you no longer get the creepy feeling you get while you play RE 1- and that's a failure. Granted, I ahve not actually played SC IV, but I've played the SC Broken Destiny which is the PSP version of SC IV- to me, it's just too similar to SC III in general that it was almost a waste of time and money making the game. Speaking of the soul series...one thing I really love about it is that it's one of the very few Japanese fighting games that's been done in full English voices lol. To me, that's where Tekken 5 got real goofy- in story mode, sometimes a English fighter meets a Chinese fighter, both speaking their own language and yet carrying on the conversation as if that's natural rofl. It went something like this if I remember it right: Lei: 'Ah, so you're the one, I'm here to arrest you.' Feng: 'Ah, soi ni ju se na ge da wu sing chung de ja huo! Ta hao la, jing tian, wo ju jeng ming wo chi she she shong jwei chiang de! Hahaha!' (Note, my Chinese spelling is mostly guesswork, I've forgotten most of them lol.)

Re: [Audyssey] marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
The changes from sC 3 to 4 were only really noticible if you were a competetive player. The point wasn't supposed to be adding gameplay features. The saying is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Soul calibur 3 actualy had bad gameplay where fighting game fans were concerned, and Soul Calibur 4 improved it by miles. Unfortunately, it still wasn't as good as sc2. That game had the best system out of all the games.. nevertheless, soul Calibur is a staple in the series and should be remembered. As for audio, well, I think you are the only one there, Ben. The music was amazing, and the sounds, if anything, improved. They became more realistic rather than the anime clashes of the first three games. As to few japanese games being done in english, I can understand that. If you want an example of why fighting games should be done in a language other than english, look at street Fighter IV's english voices. As to tekken, I do admit it is kind of odd... but I personally have no problem with it. Tekken focusses a lot more on nationality than SF, and therefore i seems only natural to have everyone speaking their own native tongues, even given how it's a bit odd that everyone understands what everyone else is saying. Here's another transcription of the dialog between feng and lei. This is my take on it... see if this rings any bells for manderin. lol And by the way, not true. Not all characters speak their own language... lei wulong is an example! lol. Lei: I finally found you. Feng: Ni she shei? Lei: Decetive Lei wulong of the hong kong police. I'm placing you under arrest? Feng: Lei wulong? Xue wu xing chuan de jia hwo? You yi su... fang ma guo lai! The line feng first says means who are you, for anyone who is wondering. The second says, Lei wulong? The guy that fights using the five-form style? How amusing.. bring it on! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Lol, actually since Lei is Cantonese, it sort of, and I mean sort of, makes sense he goes English- it's how he's generally depicted in anime and the motion pictures. One game that has real good English voices in my opinion is the Maximum impact games- especially the second one- that's one of my all time favorite games. And yes, some games sound just awful when done in English lol- I think the Bloody Roars games got very bad reviews for that in particular. Ah, also Toshinden III, I love that game but again, the English dialogs make me cringe. This issue's not just limitted to fighting games however. I remember Resident Evil I- the English voices sounded so forced and fake. Barry?

Re: [Audyssey] A letter for both Tom and Jim kitchen.
Hi Ron, There is nothing you can do to make Microsoft Anna louder. by default she should be at full volume on Windows 7, and as I said earlier for some unknown reason that voice is unusually low. They only thing you can do is purchase a better Sapi voice from Cepstral.com or Nextup.com. Personally, for playing games that use Sapi 5.x I'd prefer the ATT natural voices like Crystal, Mike, Charles, Lorn, etc as they ssound the most human to me.

Re: [Audyssey] A letter for both Tom and Jim kitchen.
Hi Folks, I googled Microsoft Anna volume and found that people say the version of Anna that comes with the streets and trips software is louder than the one from vista or windows 7. One person suggested downloading the free demo of streets and trips and then removing it leaving the louder Anna voice. This could also be done for windows xp. Here is the Microsoft free demo download page, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=54a1adb4-7884-4d2d-ac85-f1059de9858ddisplaylang=en - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A letter for both Tom and Jim kitchen.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Yeah, some say the voices are bad for Maximum, but I personally really like it. Alot of the issues center around how things are translated too- move names etc. For some reason, it's okay for Ryu, for example, to shot 'Hadoken!' every time he fires the attack, but if he shouts it in English...well, you get the picture...Hurricane Kick! There is one problem with maximum impact 2 that I've noticed- where voices are concerned, but I'm not sure if this exists in English only or in both: Sometimes if the actions go too fast, the characters' voices overlay, like your character's saying ouch and shouting the attack at the same time- very goofy. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Yeah, Toshinden is/was definitely not in the Soul league I think. But hey, you can't shrug off a game that has a character whose main purpose is/was to look/sound like Michael Jackson lol. Though Toshinden claimed to be 3d, according to many it was actually 2.5D- whatever that is. One thing that annoys me alot when playing Toshinden 1 and 2 is the falling off the ledge thing- I hate drop-off arenas! Especially when you use a large guy like Iron, often as soon as you start the fight he falls off. The one thing that kinda annoys me about 3 is that they filled the roster with duplicates of each original characters and called it quit. I know the same practice has been used by many games, but personally it just feels like a cheap way of making the roster look big. I have exactly the same issues with the king of fighters series since the Kyo clones appeared too. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Ryu in any SF game fllowing the first one only has Japanese voices. a hadouken is a hadouken. But in Street Fighter 4, it's a very bad pronounciation of Hadouken. And hurricane kick isn't tatsumaki senpu kyaku anymore. It becomes r! lol. Yet, all the other moves remain, though badly pronounced.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Lol, the one bone I've to pick with Tekken lately, and I'm not the only one it seems- I've seen alot of whining on youtube about this one, that ridiculously cheap/tough bosses we're given in 5 and 6. I haven't spent alot of time with 6 yet, so I have not found a way to beat the...insert swear word here...but I did play 5 alot, and that boss was just...well, if you don't know how to beat it, it kills you in two hits, but once you find one move to use on it and just keep repeating, it's so easy it's no fun. To me that's a big design flaw, a boss character should be hard, but hard in the way that'd make it a good fight instead of something like an instant kill. This is where I find Capcom games thus far are good with- most bosses are tough yet not 'cheap.' I say most cause I haven't been able to beat Shin Akuma in Marvel verses Capcom II- again, I've seen several guides/reviews that whine about that one too. The soul series bosses are good that way too, tough but with some serious play time and work, beatable. Of all the games I've played to date, my favorite boss is actually Geese from Fatal Fury Wild Ambition- I haven't beat him yet, but every time it's s close that even the sore loser in me gotta admit it was a good fight. Come to think of it, it's funny that they'd make Tekken 5 and 6 bosses this way- I remember I used to say that Tekken bosses were rather wimpy- especially tekken 3 and 4. Tekken 2 on the other hand, blocky graphics and so-so sounds aside, had a great balance...Kazuya was a beast lol. Tekken 1 was too easy, but for its time I guess it was fine. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Lol, everytime I hear Guile speaking English, or what supposed to be English, in most SF games, I cringe... At least Tekken makes the languages sound okay eh? It's like the earlier Fatal Fury games, I had no idea that Terry was shouting English lol. Mind you, for someone who grew up watching cheesy Chinese martial art movies, I laughed my head off when I heard Feng's Mandarin in Tekken...no one speaks Mandarin like that! I kinda hope that they'd have him shout some move names in Mandarin...that'd be funny. You were saying how badly the hadoken is pronounced...ever watched the Street Fighter U.S cartoon series?

But half the fighting games in the world have cheap bosses. SNK fighters in general are notorious for their cheap bosses. As to Feng's manderin... I've actually heard a lot of people talk like that in films. That is considered the manderin standard. And it's nowhere near as funy as watching people from taiwan speaking it. especially people who speak more Taiwanese than Manderin. I haven't seen the cartoon, but I did see a clip of Street Fighter: the movie... that is, the fighting game. And let's just say that that makes Resident Evil's acting sound almost decent. - Original Message - From: Johnny Tai johnnyti...@shaw.ca To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 9:32 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay Lol, everytime I hear Guile speaking English, or what supposed to be English, in most SF games, I cringe... At least Tekken makes the languages sound okay eh? It's like the earlier Fatal Fury games, I had no idea that Terry was shouting English lol. Mind you, for someone who grew up watching cheesy Chinese martial art movies, I laughed my head off when I heard Feng's Mandarin in Tekken...no one speaks Mandarin like that! I kinda hope that they'd have him shout some move names in Mandarin...that'd be funny. You were saying how badly the hadoken is pronounced...ever watched the Street Fighter U.S cartoon series? It's so bad it's sad. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] fighting games-was Re: marvel vs. capcom 3 gameplay
Yeah, I'm the one you...um...heard of...and I am sure I know from whom... lol You're right SNK bosses are so cheap they got their own trade mark as SNK Boss Syndrome lol- I almsot trashed the darn controller trying to beat the boss of Maximum Impcat 2- granted, I only just picked up the game like 3 hours prior to trying, so the fact I made it to him without defeat was a good sign- but a combination of super damaging moves, teleportation, freezing, and a squeaky voice just made that boss particularly madning. Lol, don't pick on Taiwanese Mandarin...when I was, *clear throat* your age...here we go...alot of us spoke that way just cause it was considered cool rofl. You know the whole Taiwanese gangster stuff...you supposed to chain-smoke, talk with bad Mandarin and drink alot of beer. The motion picture of SF is/was, masterful, when compared against the US series lol- seriously, that series' just bad enough to be worth watching. The Tekken 2 animated movie on the other hand, was alot better- the English dialogs were still kind of stiff, but at least with more emotions. I'm not sure if you watched any of these animes in Cantonese or Mandarin dubbs- those can be rather awful too. I watched the whole Dragon Ball Z series in Mandarin, and the whole Saint Seiya series too. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hey, I'm 18. And maybe we should keep this going offlist if we're going to keep non-gaming stuff involved. lol. And I'm pretty sure you know who I've heard about you from. haha. Hey, I'm not that young... I'm 18. lol. And I know plenty of people who still talk like that. It's the whole thing with them speaking hokien... and the pronunciations and accents cary through to the manderin. But I don't thnk Feng's manderin is that bad... like I sad. Any gangster or action movie has that kind spoken in it. Never saw the SF animated series, but I did see the live action film... I thought it was okay. In terms of fighting game to movie conversions, the best one still has to be the original MK film. That one is unrivalled... and dragon ball z in manderin? That could be interesting to watch. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
