^ Why am I saluting? What is this, the Pokemon army?

I am looking to the left... apparently something very interesting happened in my immediate vicinity on the left-hand side while someone made my render...

Quote from Shrukan

I told him to cancel it since I really don't want Nintendo to get at us, like Zelda Dimension.

Hmm... Henry's currently trying to work that out with Dark Link's uncle (Not the one here), so you didn't have to cancel it based on what happened with their situation. Besides, if there really were legal issues, do you realize how many sprite comics and Flash animations/games would have to be canceled? Literally millions.

Quote from Muigi

Seeing the fact that it's the cheapest Blue-Ray DVD player available, then sure it is.

Other than MGS4, I really don't see anything the PS3 has to offer to me. I was disappointed with Heavenly Sword's gameplay at E3, as it appeared to be nothing more than being a little too close to being a button-mashing massacre in my view. The only two games it has going for it now is Killzone 2, which we still have yet to see any real gameplay footage of, and MGS4.

GTA 4? God of War 3? Tekken 6? Virtua Fighter (Forgot number)? Then again, the reason why you're not interested in the PS3 is because you don't like the games coming up for it, which is a decent reason, and you're also not directly saying "PS3 sucks".

Oh, and yeah, we shouldn't bring this onto Soldat again - discuss that in another thread.

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

He's banned anyways don't mind him... But yeah i liked it, Oh and how can you like a game without a story line?

A game doesn't need to have a storyline to be good. My favorite game is currently Soldat, and it has no storyline - you're just a guy who has some guns and you frag people online. Guess what? It's the best damn game I've ever played. ^_^

Quote from X3 AL3X X3

Oh so we can talk about Hyrule map mods? like maps made with a program?

There really isn't anything I see wrong with that.

Quote from zeypher

hmm are ROMs illegal or something?

::stuff::

btw what happened to the smilies O_o

Roms are considered illegal, yes... Do it on your own terms. We don't care if you say you have them. Well, at least I don't. I couldn't give 2 s***s about owning roms because I've owned plenty of them before, it's just in our terms of service not to allow sharing of the sites, so let's not risk it, eh?

For the smilies, Shrukan removed the Zelda set and put the default ones temporarily.

And guys, can we please stop this Rom discussion and get back to the original, intended topic of discussing the OoT beta video that mortuaries posted?

This game not only has the most beautiful graphic style out of any of the PS2 games, it has a very interesting new gameplay feature to go with the great action: You actually stop time and use a celestial brush to paint stuff on screen, and they manifest themselves in the game to help solve puzzles or defeat enemies. It is a completely amazing feature that I really want to try out. I looked at it on Amazon, and it's $39.95 CDN!

Here's a Wikipedia link.

Ōkami has the player controlling the main character, Amaterasu, in a woodcut, water-color style, cel-shaded environment, which looks like an animated Japanese ink-illustration. The gameplay style is a mix of action, platform, and puzzle gaming genres, and has been noted by many reviewers to have numerous similarities in overall gameplay style to The Legend of Zelda series, an inspiration that director Hideki Kamiya, a self-acclaimed Zelda-fan, has admitted. The main story is primarily linear, directed through by Amaterasu's guide Issun, though numerous side quests and optional activities allow for the player to explore the game world and take the story at their own pace.

Combat is staged in a ghostly virtual arena, and Amaterasu can fight enemies using a combination of weapons, fighting techniques, and brush methods, to dispatch the foes. At the end of combat, money (as yen) is rewarded to Amaterasu, with bonuses for completing a battle quickly and without taking damage. The money can be spent on numerous items from merchants across the land, including healing goods, better weapons, tools, and key items for completing quests. The money can also be used to buy new combat techniques at dojos through the land. Additionally, rare Demon Fangs can be earned through combat which can be traded for additional, unique items that are beneficial in gameplay but not required to complete the game.

By completing quests, side quests, and small additional activitives (such as making trees bloom into life, or feeding wild animals), Amaterasu earns Praise, which can then be spent to increase various statistics of the character, such as the amount of health and number of ink wells for Celestial brush techniques.

The art in Ōkami is highly inspired by Japanese watercolor and wood carving art of the Ukiyo-e style, such as the work of Hokusai.

Celestial Brush

Unique to Ōkami is the Celestial Brush. Players can bring the game to a pause and call up a canvas, where the player can draw onto the screen using the left analog stick to control the Celestial Brush. This feature is used in combat, puzzles, and as general gameplay. For example, the player can create strong wind by drawing a loop, cut enemies by drawing a line through them, or create bridges by painting one amongst many other abilities. These techniques are learned through the course of the game by completing constellations to release the Celestial Brush gods from their hiding spots. The Celestial Brush bears similarities to the use of mouse gestures to perform miracles in the desktop computer game Black & White, in which the player, just like in Ōkami, takes on the role of a god. You basically control the very fabric of time but your ink pots will run out if used too much in one go, making you lose your powers for a short period of time.

There's also a very engaging story, but it's on the Wikipedia article, so go read it if you want - it's too big to post here without being annoying.

You can use whatever site you like to get a review, but you probably won't see anything less than 90/100 or something.

What do you guys think? Would you want to get it? I really, really want it...

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

I don't know how we can keep the thread alive without spamming though.... and i've never used cryogenics for a topic before....(NVM, no one knows what cryogenics is anyways)

Well, as long as no one posts here anymore, then we should be fine...

You know... now that I think about it, maybe I should lock it and tell Black that he can PM me whenever he wants to unlock it in the future, if ever. Actually, yes, that's a good idea.

Black, I am closing this thread due to the cancellation of your project. If you ever decide to restart it, however, you can simply PM me to inform me of your decision and I will happily unlock it. Thank you.

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

Is this the second Zelda game?

Yes it is.

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

The project is cancelled shoudln't this be locked?

It is indeed canceled. Locking the topic, however, is not necessary as they may need to bump the thread in the future if he ever decides to restart it.

Quote from Happy Mask Salesman

I would love to be in that.... except for the fighting part.

So where would you be? At the convenience store down the street, just watching?

Quote from mortuaries

why're you settling for second best?

So you just expect him to use voodoo powers or black magic to force the girl's current boyfriend to suddenly break up with her?

Quote from Midna

I'm a loner. My last bf was terrible. He broke up with me because he said I'm to "Sweet".

What kind of a reason is that? He gives a bad impression for all of us men as if we're all tough guys who just work out everyday and play sports. Well, I do like volleyball and football, but that's besides the point. :D

Cry for Eternity - Dragonforce

As I have never had a girlfriend yet in my life due to being a loner and kind of a hermit, I've always yearned for a woman to love me. Of course I know that a girl will not just fall from the sky and say "I love you" because the world isn't like that. I've never had any romantic moments in my real life because... well, there have been none. (Shrukan, I know what you're gonna say... :P)

Quote from Aronath

I have to say, I tried Free Bird on Hard....God I had to masturbate the Guitar just to get most of the notes

Wow. I feel sorry for your jimmy if you're going that fast while slappin the clown.

Yes, as long as you do not show us your roms or help anyone obtain roms, then you're fine. We don't care if you have them. This is a fine statement:

"Yeah, I never really got to play the original Legend of Zelda too much. I do have a rom of it, however, it was a cool game for its time."

You can even talk about them, just do not share with us how or where to get them, please.

Talking about the Beta isn't even related to roms, Shrukan - mortuaries just brought it up to see if there was one available, but then this discussion opened up as a result.

I originally got The Skull Kid, but then I also got Link after I retook it.
