Author Topic: new mighty no. 9 trailer  (Read 6532 times)

I'd like to make a point about the trailer the OP posted. From Discord:

So, let me explain something.
If you've played Hotline; Miami, you'd know about this.
A while ago, game developers discovered something magical.
If you freeze the game for less than a second at the exact moment of impact, the player gets a rush of endorphins.
It feels great.
So devs have started adding the so called "freeze bonus" to intense action games.
These guys are loving idiots, though.
They've gone ahead and put it on every single moment of action.
And it's too long.
So the game comes off as being laggy and frustrating since it's not a consistent and smooth experience.

Nuclear throne actually does that too, but it allows you to adjust the level of it or just shut it off which is great and all games that use that should have that feature.

and plus if you just despise waiting for those frames to finish you can set it to 0 or really low and maul everything

this is why you don't reboot things



So that's why ZED Time in KF and KF2 feels so satisfying.

Holy stuff this is terrible.
Also everyone knew that this was going to be stuff from the beginning honestly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3SuLs7trNU

I remember seeing this video and imagining it would go downhill, but this far? Visually it's pretty nice, excusing lack of animation, but mechanically it's worthless, the audio is horrific, and the writing is irredeemable.

i cant decide whether the explosions look bad or acceptable :(

You mean the pizza?

Honestly looking at the footage without any bias from the trailer, it doesn't look that bad up until the part where the dinky robot drops the pizza bombs. They weren't lying when they said they needed more time and it shows. Delay after delay but they didn't bother to touch up on the effects i guess.

Someone did an amusing breakdown and inspection of the trailer

this is what you get when you promise way too much. they should've kept it at PC version only and then if it was successful, they could have started working on versions for other platforms

instead they're going all out from the beginning and the result is this disappointing product
i mean when it comes out it's not going to be horrible or anything but i'm 100% sure that it's going to be "extremely mediocre" at best
