Re: We few, we happy, we Smash Bros. in arms.
I feel like I actually minded the clones less when they were LESS different to the characters they were clones of. I mean, I liked Dr Mario. But Ganondorf getting a slightly tweaked moveset that is still obviously derived from Captain Falcon while still, I'm pretty sure, not actually being derived f...

Re: We few, we happy, we Smash Bros. in arms.
The days of angst-ridden lab-grown ultimate life-forms seems to thankfully be ending. They keep those for the legendaries, Greninja's just a starter final evolution. Everything I've seen so far is pleasing, but ultimately I only want the physics to be like Melee and not like Brawl (and bring back d...

Re: New Sonic game for 2015
Neo, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this looks atrocious. Horrible proportions. Blue arms. Stupid accessories and clutter in the designs. Apparent teamwork gimmick from Heroes, which was shit. Skrillex in the trailer. Yup, I think I hated literally everything I saw there! It looks like ...

Re: Attention New Members
I am sometimes mystified how this quiet little place still manages to attract new members from time to time. Guess it's a sign that jaded, cynical, nostalgic outlook isn't dead yet!

Re: Game Music
I recently got round to playing Fez and I really enjoyed the soundtrack. It's exactly the kind of ambient music I love, sweeping and spacious with sparingly applied melodies. Very Boards of Canada in places. A couple of favourites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrLbkX6QcQo http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Re: New Sonic Cartoon
Making Knuckles larger and more distinctly muscular is something that feels perfectly logical to my inner character designer, yet completely sacrilegious and wrong to my inner Sonic nerd. If you were developing an original show with an ensemble cast consisting of a fast guy, a strong guy, a kid sid...

It looks like Sonic is wearing some kind of sleeveless denim jacket as well.

I thought that was what it was meant to be. It pops out in a really weird place to be coming from a shoulder.

Re: Post your artwork (56k warning)
A couple of months ago I worked on the video for the Arctic Monkeys' latest single (now part of their latest album). My title on the job was "head of design" but I consider my role more akin to layout artist and lead animator, as I drew the layout frames for almost every scene in the second half of ...

Re: Sonic Lost World - Nintendo Exclusive
On a side note, it's kind of sad that kids today can't be expected to look after electronics and need specifically designed 'rugged' options. Taking care of an electronic device is an important lesson in responsibility! ^_^ What d'you mean "these days"? Kids' stuff has always been built to be robus...

Re: What are you playing today?
I picked up a 3DS and Animal Crossing a while ago because all my friends suddenly got it and I felt legit peer pressured. It's pretty nice but it's still the only game I have for it. I just found out that apparently a new Mario & Luigi game came out while I wasn't paying attention. I fucking loved t...

Re: Farewell, Seabelly Riverback
Woah, how have I never heard about this game? From videos it looks like playing rope-only games in Worms Armageddon/Worms World Party, and I spent probably at least two summers completely addicted to that shit.

Re: Dinsey's Wreck-It Ralph: A love-letter to videogames
This is a big bump but this movie only came out recently in the UK so I feel entitled. I wanted to be the grumpy old man and decry the standard schmaltzy Disney storyline but I actually enjoyed it. My suspicion, based on the trailers, that they only had a limited pool of licensed sources from which ...

I can't find the pilot on iTunes. :( Is it US only or something? I'm searching for Gravity Falls in the store and it's not coming up. I've looked at the previews on the Disney website though and it looks like it could be fun. It does seem to adhere a bit to certain modern cartoon design philosophies...

Re: Dinsey's Wreck-It Ralph: A love-letter to videogames

How is it a stretch, GG? Because you think it is? You seem to have this definition of sexism that different from the rest of the world. You also state that women are innately better at empathising as if you have any authority on the matter. Did you even stop to think that even if that's true it's on...

Re: Dinsey's Wreck-It Ralph: A love-letter to videogames
I should additionally clarify what I meant about Pixar being expected to make films about anything other than white males. Certainly, they shouldn't: because they're mostly white men themselves. And this is another aspect of the problem: it's mostly white males in the position to makes these mainstr...

Re: Dinsey's Wreck-It Ralph: A love-letter to videogames
The problem that REALLY exists is the reverse: creatives are discouraged from making movies about women and minorities, even when they WANT to, because studios think everyone who isn't a white dude or Will Smith is "risky". But that's the exact same thing as my point - politics threatening creativi...
