Re: Current Project Status (1/14/09): Alpha Testing

You guys must be feeling pretty BA right now. I would be if it were the last one, but right now I'm just waiting for my double-shot of espresso to kick in before I hit bug number... 6? I dunno. Had an idea for it. We'll see. There's one puzzle in Policenauts that lets you view it in English or Japa...

Re: Current Project Status (1/14/09): Alpha Testing

Someone should make a thank-you thread, so this one stops getting so cluttered. I'm inclined to agree, I mean I'm sure they appreciate the kudos... but if they had a thread specifically for shoutouts/thank you letters/cookies/etc. (just not money, I know) then they could just use this for bug repor...

Re: Current Project Status (1/14/09): Alpha Testing

Also to be completely fair, this is my first real ROM hacking project, so it's entirely possible that when I say Policenauts is a little sloppy under the hood in one or two parts - relatively speaking, it could actually be very good compared to other video games. I honestly don't have any great way...

Here, have an Easter Egg. http://www.slowbeef.com/target4.png Marc and I had a big conversation last night about whether or not this was in the PSX version or exclusive to Saturn.

Re: Current Project Status (1/14/09): Alpha Testing

Looks tempting, but there's still some work left to do yet! One thing I forgot to make clear before is that we're not censoring the game in any way. Most if not all of you will know how Snatcher was censored when it was ported to the Sega CD. Those changes were understandable for the time. We haven...

Just to recap, we haven't had to cut any text from the game, thanks to the inimitable slowbeef. Not something you want to be forced to do. For technical reasons I can't get into, though, Jonathan Ingram is now known as Hotpants McGee. ... Sounds like one of those awful english names that Konami cam...

Re: Current Project Status (12/19/08): Alpha Testing

I think we can make telops optional. I just did a proof-of-concept and it's not that hard at all. So you could turn them on or off. Now we get to argue about which one is default. Well since they're always there in Kojima's games, how bout 'on' as the default? I forget if the other subtitles are on...

This one stupid bug is a known bug we're working on anyway, and the game's obviously in English. So hey, we got telops, summaries, credits, a couple movie telops (they work different from ...

If you can save psone games to a memory stick similar to the way you can do the same with Wii VC games, then possibly.... But I'm thinking that's not possible.

Re: Overlapping Kojima games?

In Metal Gear Solid 4 : Little black robots in act 4, end of act 5 reminds me Insectors (Snatcher). I think the fight MG REX vs. MG Ray is a reference to Zone of the Enders. At the beginning of Snatcher, Gibson calls on the videophone in need of help, in MGS4, Naomi send a video message to Otacon a...

I always got the impression that MGS2 was trying to 'emulate' MGS1's layout in many ways, but that just confirms it (what with all the reimagined areas in MGS2 and their respective comparisons to the first game.)

WTF kind of drugs are they taking over there to say it's been "announced" for not only 360 but Wii? Is there a European June Fool's Day or something? That would be the equivalent of porting Metal Gear Solid 1 as-is to 32X or something. Hell, the 32X could barely do Virtua Fighter as it is...

Tell me I'm not the only one to see parallels between the potential 'chaotic aftermath' of MGS2, and everything that went down in LFoDH. Isn't that what the Patriots had planned for America, a 'fire sale'? (wiki it, DH4 is mentioned.) And then the way the enemy easily tricked almost everyone (except...
