It's not like they exploited the Wii's abilities when it comes to free roaming. Unless NMH2 is focused on that, which I don't think it is from what's been said already, even if it's improved from the first. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. GTA(PS2)'s open world & sandbox gameplay is vastly better than NMH's, hell, they shouldn't even be compared with such a hugely more detailed world and so many more things to explore and do on a much larger scale. If there's no good open world in NMH, that's because it's a low budget, linear experience, in which they shoehorned some quick and dirty open stuff in for the hell of it or something. Not because the Wii can't do what the PS2 did, despite being at least twice as powerful, so in theory able to do much better than any past gen GTA. Would that be so bad, considering it would be stylised and cel shaded?

  
PS2, 2004. Still considered the best GTA by many... This is but a brief glimpse...

  
The experience has even been translated to the PSP... We'll all believe Wii can't?

Of course, GTAIII and onwards had large budgets and development teams, something that Grasshopper wouldn't dream of (unless the relative success of the first two greenlights a high budget, but that's also quite unlikely). I'd say that's the biggest reason the open world sucks, aside from being an intentional jab. Personally, I can't see them able to create something of the GTAIV scale on the PS360 unless they get some damn rich (M$?) benefactors funding their little studio. An open world game on the Wii would need half the budget and is probably more achievable, if they actually hire competent programmers, but hey, whatever Suda wants to do, he'll attempt to do, so good luck to him! I'll be there to see it anyway.

As for "rehashing the same game", that's got pretty much nothing to do with staying on the same system, most franchises that made the leap from past to current gen remained nearly identical aside from their new HD visuals anyway. RE4-5, GoW2-3, Halo 2-3, etc. Just saying.

Anyway, there's a thread for this already, from 15 days ago or something like that. Grasshopper forum.

Air combat looks as fleshed out as on foot, complete with custom upgrades/parts. Sweet!

The framerate depends on your system.... Recording video on top of the game certainly adds to the load too.

But I agree, this is a pretty stupid tweak that has no appeal whatsoever, to me. Of course, it's also silly to rip it to shreds like that, going as far as to comment on the framerate. It's not like the guy who made it pimps it as the best thing since sliced bread, it's just a small tweak he put on YouTube for the lulz... It's not his fault if others (read: GB) try to make a big deal out of it.

As for the features you'd like to see, I doubt they're possible. The game's not open to modifications like PC-centric titles are. Anything that comes out wiill be a mere "hack" like these videos. Of course, those can be pretty cool too sometimes, even for consoles, like some Brawl custom mods doing the rounds lately. Still, it remains to be seen if such a community will form around SFIV PC. People into such things can pick other games that let them be far more creative. On the other hand, there aren't many high profile beat 'em ups on PC so who knows.

I see. So it is possible, and what matters is to choose the same/similar parts so that the Mac OS drivers and everything are actually compatible? I'm probably out of luck as I didn't really consider any of this when purchasing my current parts. Oh well, maybe in the future.

Now that Macs run windows and are basically PCs... Can one actually install Mac OS on a regular PC? It's the same architecture, no (so all those loyalists shouldn't feel we wanna convert them, they already have converted honestly)? I always wanted to try it out. If a Mac uses the same parts as a PC, and can install both Mac OS and Windows, what stops a PC from installing Mac OS?

Didn't count them (lulz), you can find matches at any time of day. For now. And it's early days with a release with no real fanfare so it'll probably grow better, if people are interested at least...

It's the fastest selling DQ title, right above DQ VIII.

In Japan it's above FF and MH Water, not 2nd or 3rd to them :oP

Welcome to 10 days ago. Try /happyface since 2 is not even released yet, to start considering the sequel...

All I know is those are big words, 2 better be something very special with none of the flaws of the original...

Oh well. I seem to have more luck in getting good connections on championship mode than on ranked. There are too many halfway quiters either way though, that totally skews my stats and makes me want to start doing it too... People suck.
