Namco Bandai has released an all-new trailer for Power Rangers Megaforce for the 3DS.
With all of its retained and regained popularity, why haven’t we seen a modern triple A style game based on the franchise yet? The 25th anniversary provides a great opportunity for an announcement of one, and developers have plenty of options to choose from, but first to understand the possible future of Power Rangers games, we have to take a look into the past.
Gah..wait...what...THANK YOU!
I mean seriously, the game writes itself. You have more than enough material to draw from.
I picture a beat 'em up / rpg type game where you can power up and upgrade your Ranger. Add different weapons and moves also.
Unlock different Rangers from the many series to use in gameplay.
Have levels where you play as Words fighting huge beasts.
It's right there for the taken...are you going to take it....are you man enough to take it?
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now.. Got a few ideas for an origins story, a civil war story on zordons home planet.
But there's plenty more you could do with it.
Imagine open world rpg, teleporting is fast travel, side missions at Ernies, different story arc from the morphing series, morph at anytime, putty patrol attacks whenever, call zords, giant monsters destroying the city with debris falling everywhere. Side missions could include martial arts tournaments, science fairs. Most importantly, bulk and skull.
Would need to be mighty morphing series but a bit darker. Not too dark but appeal more to adults than children.
Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "After a ton of cash grabs in the industry since (and yeah, some were decent enough over the years), Saban are back running the show and Namco have delivered a fresh start for the franchise in video game form. Power Rangers Megaforce takes the latest season of the hit and inserts the player into the experience as they take down the latest evil that is attacking the planet. A photo morphing ability, classic beat-em up gameplay, and original voice acting? It was too good to be true. I wanted to love it from the start, but shortly in, I discovered why licensed games are still a market that fans should approach with caution."
The visuals are downright disappointing. There is not much of a difference between the 2D and 3D enabled mode. Then again this title is probably best suited for those who shouldn't have the 3D activated anyway.
GOTY!
I liked Dino Thunder on GBA and GC. They were pretty good, but I haven't played any Power Rangers games since then. If this is less than $30 (probably not. I saw Samurai for $34.99 still at the GameStop near me), then I'll buy it, especially since its using the same engine as the Kyoryuger's game.
Anyways, I heard Megaforce (the show) was bad. Not a big deal, as Goseiger wasn't really any good either. Gokaiger was really good, so I hope Saban DOESN'T FUC|< UP Super Megaforce. Seeing 35 teams was really awesome, and it sucks a lot of the War will have to be compromised for PR's War.
