I agree, with the "right" director and big budget, a Zelda movie has huge potential to be equally good as Lord of the Rings. Another upcoming movie who share the same potential is Masters Of The Universe.
It's not exactly that long. I can beat the Wiimake in about an hour.
I would like to see the Wii version over the PSX, but I'll take whichever I can get.
Thanks for the video.
Anybody see the "Justin Bailey" Samus stuffed in that hack? That's about the only thing that was clever about it, IMO. It feels more like "Super Collectoid" then "Super Metroid".
While the hack isn't the worst one out there, I don't really care for it. I mean, giving you 6 E-Tanks AND the Varia within about 3 minutes of the start of the game? No exactly impressive.
Personally, I'd like to see somebody beat the snot out of Saturn's time on Super Metroid Impossible. THAT is a hack to watch. There's one other hack I liked that could be done, but the name escapes me.
The Justin Bailey mod hack was nice, but that only changed the way Samus looked, but nothing about the game itself.
I don't like the hack. It's another one of those "let's throw random things together in a dumb fashion" type of hacks. And why the color changes? No sense.
The game play seems ok at best.
Voting NO.
Either I can't count rows and columns, or they can't multiply. I counted 31 columns and 35 rows (not counting the cartridges/boxes at the bottom) which is 1085 screenshots, not the 1500 they say on the page.
This is made of about 1500 Mega Man screenshots, taken from Mega Man 1-6. It’s printed on canvas and mounted in a wooden frame. Bonus: the two bottom rows of screenshots show the weaknesses of all the bosses. DID WE ALSO MENTION THAT IT’S MADE OF PURE AWESOME?
Having watched this, it doesn't look that extraordinary. It looks like a really good Mega Man speed run, but not a TAS.
Given that we already have MM1, 2, and 3 runs on the site, the thing I'd like to see from this game is the extra bosses that you get when you beat the 3 games. I think that could be a great contribution to the site.
But as for this run, while it looks good, I don't think it's publish worthy. Voting MEH.
Yea, I don't think it's CD audio either.
Edit: Checking the CD, it does have an audio track..
Edit 2: Checking the audio tracks and testing it in pSX emu shows that the stages don't use audio CD
Pretty much every PSX game has a audio track that works on CD players, basically telling you to stop being an idiot because THIS IS A GAME PUT IT IN A GAMING SYSTEM! (Gotta love the one in SotN, done by Alucard.)
Only question I have is - can you buy Hyper Slider prior to completing the first 4 bosses? Or doesn't it become available until after them? I can't remember and you did miss that one easy to get bolt in Tengu Man's 2nd autoscroll. Just checking.
P.S. Dear FractalFusion, my name has a space. Thanks.
WIPs don't belong in a thread like this. Post it in the game thread in the respective gaming forum -> in this case, since it's a Genesis game, post in a thread in this forum. If there isn't one (and you can't find it via search), then you can create a new thread.
[*]The intro video for the Best Buy Software Installer said something about how annoying it is to have a computer come with a bunch of preinstalled software that you're not going to use, yet I found Google Chrome, MS Works, and a 60-day trial of MS Office 2007 on this computer. Those are the programs I immediately identified, so who knows what else is on it.
Well, everybody raves about Chrome, but I do agree that the last two are stupid. I wonder, since you bought it from NotBest Buy if it's got McAfee for your antivirus?
The rules written on this site were never intended to be interpreted with the strictness that is being discussed here. If the wording can be taken that strict I apologize and will try to word it in a more flexible manner.
However, I want to make a more important point. And that is that a submission must be compared to the movie it obsoletes when judged. Rejecting a new submission is statement of the existing run's superiority.
Choosing to keep Guano's run also breaks a site rule (must beat all known records) by losing to an unassisted record.
Both movies pose a problem. So which published movie do you want? One that loses to an unassisted speedrun or one that uses the not preferred ROM choice? We went with the latter. Sometimes judging is "icky" business.
I'd rather have the latter on this site. Unless I was the unassisted runner. Beating a TAS is kinda awesome, really. (Go go ActRaiser speedrun!)
You may not be able to 2-shot the bosses, but I suspect somebody who tries well enough can use the charged buster shots + the saber to do most of the damage against the boss, then maybe using weaknesses or more buster shots to finish them off.
Yes. I'm going for 100% completion (that includes the gold armor and getting Zero's Sabre). As for Bit and Byte, I'm going to destroy them with their weakness based on whether or not it is faster. If they are both killed then Press Disposer will be the boss and Tornado Fang is the weakness (the charged form of that weapon does 5 damage to that boss which is a lot).
I basically went for which boss is faster to select on the boss selection screen since it doesn't matter whether Gravity Beetle and Toxic Seahorse gets killed first.
I think even the 100% run it would be faster to not blow up Bit and Byte. Explosion time for 3 bosses will take longer then the explosion time for 1, even with the extra damage for the alternate boss.
Admitably, I don't like this hack compared to the other one you submitted. Instead of really offering something new, it pretty much rips everything off of Rockman 1 and 3. And given that the powers are basically the same as Rockman 2, I think your route was a pretty poor choice.
Voting NO on the hack and the run.
This is a highly biased opinion, but netbooks are crap. The performance of them are just absolutely disgusting. Owning one and using one have made me come to this conclusion. My advice is: don't buy anything with an Atom CPU. And don't buy anything with a resolution lower than 768 pixels in height (most netbooks have a resolution of 1024x600).
Again, purely biased opinion, but it's what I think. Definitely try one out before purchasing.
From the various netbooks I've seen, I think the resolution depends on the screen size. The 10" ones or less seem to have the smaller resolution while anything over 10" (mine is 11.6") gets you to the 1366x768 widescreen resolution.
While your opinion of them differs from mine, I will definitely agree with you on one thing...for ANY laptop or netbook you try, definitely try it out, if for nothing more then "how does the keyboard feel?" Especially on any laptop that doesn't have a full size keyboard (pretty much any laptop less then 17", or 17" ones that aren't widescreen).
Also, get an external mouse (either wired or wireless, but wireless means one less cord). You'll thank yourself later.
I would really like an example where a game was switched from japanese to english without the english version having a hughe glitch the japnase one doesn't. Can you bring me one?
Can you find any examples of English being switched to Japanese?
And this.
Oh, and BTW, I'd like to remind people of the new clause that was added to the Judge Guidelines after the Mega Man 4 submission.
**While it is expected that the new run should use all tricks and techniques known at the time, it is not uncommon for new time-saving techniques to be found during the latter stages of making a run. Ideally, the run should be restarted to allow for inclusion of these new discoveries, however if restarting will be especially time consuming, exceptions can be made to this rule per a Judge's discretion.
Yes, we're aware of improvements. But this run can be accepted if the judges choose. And I hope they choose yes. Because damn this game was broken like your momma.
Uhh I just stumbled into this video from that "related video" list.
It's actually a PC game, not a NES ROM hack. Rockman 2 Neta
http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=364
As for this hack, though there are a lot of things similar to Rockman 2, I thought the hack was pretty clever and pretty well done. While most of the Wily bosses were the same, I like what they did with Wily 4 boss.
I enjoyed the hack and the run and give it a YES vote.
Only if you're planning on playing games. For basic usage, this thing is slick as hell.
Right, basic usage like GMail, Google Buzz, 720p YouTu- OHHHHHH!
I stream audio and video (both in and out), watch SDA NQ videos (and anything from here), deal with work email (built in Wi-Fi? Hell yeah!), and I get absolutely kick ass battery life (if fully charged, I can generally get 7+ hours, even with a non-optimal configuration). I've never been much of a PC gamer, so I don't need something screaming fast. But if I do? That's what my tower is for. And if I do need to do a robust task (like video encoding), I can remote connect into the thing and let it do the dirty work.
BTW...No Google Buzz or GMail for me.
Netbooks are slow and non-upgradable.
Um, what? I can certainly change some basic things, like the HDD and RAM if I want to. I'm sure there's other things that can be changed out if you feel like tearing it apart, just like any other laptop.
But I'll stand by my opinion that if you are doing basic things, this is a nice laptop (I have the Acer AspireOne). If you want to do gaming or video encoding or more robust things, then get something else, like that dv6.
