C'mon, she's not THAT weird looking.

It worked for her in Lord of the Rings...except for the fact that she was the worst thing about those movies.

I thought every other scene in which Frodo and Sam nearly make out was the worst thing about those movies.

She was complicit in ruining the character of Frodo Baggins in LOTR and therefore will never be liked by me.

Guilty. And ---smurfing--- JJ Abrams better not have Skywalker's lightsaber fall from the sky or we riot.

I just keep hoping a massive fire erupts at all the sets, and Disney, and JJ's house and the new trilogy is cancelled. Because, seriously, if you don't think this is going to be any less of a train wreck than the prequels, you are kidding yourself.

I thought you absolutely loved what JJ did for Star Trek.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #87 on:** October 30, 2015, 04:55:36 pm »

I spit in your general direction!

I admit I started the derail, but damn, how the hell did it get to arguing Star Wars?

I thought this was the Steve Jobs thread?

I thought I was in line for KISS tickets.... hey where's Dave?

I was giving a bit of thought to what Skullgirls would look like in a full setup and when I googled, I just learned that it actually did end up getting a build.... in Japan.

Well the cabinet comissioned for Mortal Kombat (2011) is pretty terrible. Seeing someone do that game right would be nice.

voltz · « **Reply #95 on:** November 05, 2015, 06:10:20 pm »

Didn't Thunderforce ever get an arcade release?

I remember having a hell of a blast on TFIV by the time I reached the 8th stage.

yotsuya · « **Reply #96 on:** November 10, 2015, 07:19:56 pm »

This needs a cab.

voltz · « **Reply #97 on:** November 10, 2015, 07:39:20 pm »

What the heck is that?

Would DMC (not the reboot) look a little too out of place?

Blackfoot · « **Reply #98 on:** November 19, 2015, 10:20:11 am »

I always thought GTA 1 and 2 would make good arcade games.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #99 on:** November 19, 2015, 11:17:21 am »

No games that require analog joystick controls, especially dual thumbsticks, would make good arcade games. You are pretty much limited to pre n64 titles or retro throwbacks that only need digital inputs.

The original GTA games don't require an analog joystick. The original PS1 was just a game pad.

Sure, sure and their gameplay session lengths are too long to be viable for an arcade cab anyway. To be fair when 90% of the population hears "GTA" they think you are talking about III and above because... well.... the first ones sucked so hard nobody re-visits them. It's kind of like when people say they used to play Street Fighter back in the day they really mean II or above. So even if you know the difference between the 2d series and the 3d ones, anyone visiting isn't and they are going to be really disappointed when you fire it up and they can't play Vice City on the thing.

The play lengths are terrible for an arcade cabinet, but if you cut out the whole story mode bit, it's still a lot of fun to cause mayhem.

I think Fighting Force would make a good Arcade game.

Sometimes when I see one of those Mario GP cabs, I just want to rip the PCB out and do some modwork, cause that sure as hell ain't the Mario Kart us kids grew up on. Be kinda interesting how that whole Wiimote thing will fit in with the scheme of things.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #105 on:** November 21, 2015, 01:48:57 am »

Fairly easily actually. You can get a wheel mount for a wiimote or just tape it to the wheel and it'll work on 7 or 8. I agree... the Namco Mario Karts are terrible.

I've made a number of complaints on how the game is set up and the absolute requirement that you keep feeding it $2-2.50 per race (win or lose). Operators seem happy with it, so I doubt anything is ever going to change.

At least F-Zero was done correctly.
