There seems to be something awfully familiar about Sony's upcoming games. - PSLS
The Mario Kart TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watch, a collaboration between TAG Heuer and Nintendo, is a blend of high-end watchmaking and iconic video game nostalgia.
Cool cool, can I get a plastic little watch that when you push a button you hear a "wahoo"? I can't afford to waste 4k on a watch right now, but maybe later.
The next wave for the Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass is upon us, with two new cups to be added for a grand total of eight maps. It's been a while since
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.
I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?
because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.
@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21
I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.
When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.
Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.
Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…
oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .
I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?
What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?
Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter
PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter
Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.
"and here's how it competes against other fighters"
No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.
Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.
I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.
Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.
While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.
And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.
Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB
Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.
Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?
With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?
With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?
There are a lot of variables at play here
Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.
I like the commentary about buying sequels or games in series that are established at the bottom of the comic, as the industry definitely needs to offer stronger support innovative experiences.
Oh yeah make it look like Sony are the only ones who have done this...lots of developers take ideas from other games
People have wanted a SSB game for years from Sony and MS, Sony is giving us one.
Crash Team Racing was a great game and you could say the idea was taken from Mario Kart.....actually can you make a totaly differen't kart game which wouldn't look like Mario Kart....it's the whole point of a kart racing game.
Haha, nice trolling there guys.
Yeah, it's amazing how these kind of people aren't around to say anything when Sony makes games that are innovative and their own ideas but the moment any of their games have any similarity to anyone else it 'Duh, Sony why can't you think up your own ideas' because LBP is the same as Mario Kart because it has racing in it and Sorcery us the same as Harry Potter because the boy has a WAND.
*calls on phone* 'Hey guys did you know that Nintendo invented racing so anyone that does racing is instantly 'copying' Nintendo.Yeah, and any game with 4 characters fighting in an arena is 'copying' Nintendo too? No, Power Stone doesn't count according to the fanboys It's just Sony copying Nintendo. What's that? Using AR card and grafting a second anolog stick to your hand held isn't copying? No? Why not? Because it's Nintendo? Okay then.
Ever notice anything that Sony does always triggers the industry needs to change discussion? UC3 is suddenly the poster child for linearity when everyone was doing it long before they did but suddenly UC3 is the last straw or KZ3 w=is the example that FPSs need better stories not all the crap stories from before.
