That's dumb. If the patent was made in 1998, why wait until now to sue them? I mean didn't the preview consoles have the exact same joystick works? They aren't gonna get anywhere trying to sue 3 game companies at once just now enforcing a patent that was made 9 years ago. Just like Immersion, they want to sue major game companies for not paying to use their technology. Unlike Immersion, they fail.

ok, see these are things called companies and one thing companies like a lot is money.

course, i don't think they're ever going to get any money at all from this.

wow. my gradius 3 snes boss rush video got posted. keep in mind that's loop 1... where the game is easy for the newcomers to shmups to get into it. later on, enemies will start hurling bullets in a fashion that is actually easy to pick up on, yet still difficult to play.

but if you want bullet patterns, gradius is not for you. gradius is more of a skill based game, relying on your reactions and thinking in order to manipulate your options into destroying your enemies. personally, i find myself being a big fan of gradius, as well as most of the shmups mentioned by bloodreign, such as twin cobra, fire shark. other ones i like are also thundercross, traysia, and even rocket knight adventures, if you can count it as a shmup(in some parts it is at least, but overall it's a great game). i'm not so much a fan of manic shmups, although i do think i need to get a little practice so i can start dominating high loop gradius. gradius v loop 5 is just too tough for me, and that's not even the maximum bullets!

edit in response to lord shaddow: that stage was probably removed just because of hardware restrictions. the snes probably just couldn't be able to handle a level like that, or maybe the programmers found it unnecessary to code a completely new engine for one level. i'd certainly agree with that.. i don't think it was a difficulty thing, as that level was pretty easy... but it just feels out of place. it probably did work as inspiration for solar assault gradius, however.

I'd get really far, but yeah I've never completely beaten it.

very suprising to hear of someone picking it up but never finishing it. definitely finish it some time. it's a great shmup, and brings a classic to the new generation.
unfortunately, it seems the new generation didn't receive it too well.

Go for those higher loops, after awhile the amount of suicide bullets from dead enemies will overwhelm you.

indeed. high loop gradius v makes it seem like enemies are shooting lasers at you instead of bullets, just because of how many there are.
and man... suicide bullets... there's just so damn many.

try using a piece of cloth over your thumb and on the dpad. that should help you out.

you know, i think it's more of a good thing that fast food restaurants are encouraging kids to play DDR.

Posted on 04-04-07 04:08 AM, in anime conventions Link
this weekend i'm going to seattle to sakuracon with a few friends it'll be the first anime convention i've ever gone to. i'm not really big on conventions, but i figured it's a good excuse to spend time with friends, so i'm going.

what about you folks? have you been to any conventions or ever wanted to go? i never wanted to because it didn't appeal to me much, but being with friends is cool.
