Because they don't know how to create it. --- End quote --- I'm not even sure how to reply to this... other than I've got to wonder how much new music you've given a solid chance to in the last 10 years. It's irrelevant to this discussion... but I can't help putting my face in my palm and saying "you're wrong... wrong, wrong, wrong" --- Quote from: Ummon on July 21, 2008, 10:08:16 pm ---It's all rehash rip-off. Same in games that try to take off from the original in some DDR visual style. It's matters of quality and class. --- End quote --- This thread started off with people complaining that Legions differed too much from the original. Your you're saying it's rehash? What's going to make you guys happy?? This discussion is devolving to the point of people just stating opinions for the sake of it without putting any real thought into them. |

I think hes generalizing. Maybe better to say that the Majority of music today is crap. A greater percentage than the past as well. This thread started off with people complaining that Legions differed too much from the original. Your you're saying it's rehash? I believe he said that MUSIC is rehash. But the basic thing here is that todays game makers have almost no clue how to make a good game. (much like most of todays music) Its fine to remake a classic... but, you should retain the feel of the original. The mechanics and play should be relatively the same. Here we see that is not the case. All traces of what made Galaga a true classic... are gone. If they wanted to release this as "Trippy-Fighter 1" then fine... but its the Furthest thing to Galaga, and does not deserve to be named as such. Its the equivalent of replacing the Dave Mustain of MegaDeth, with Garth Brooks and still calling it Megadeth (playing metal?!) Completely FUBAR. Btw - I agree... the Music in that shooter is not the greatest (Its no Ghouls and Ghost).. yet it still fits the game well. My fav shooter is actually Thunderforce II. (on sega genesis or X68000 ) In addition to awesome play and challenge... The Soundtrack to that game is incredible. Very original and unique. Some found the Top view levels to be annoying in that game. Ill admit, it needed some tweaking.. but it did add some variance. The side view levels rocked beyond belief. (better than any of the sequals IMOP) |

One is a bunch of metal bands playing Abba (pretty cool), the others are from the Kronos Quartet playing anything from Slayer to Tool on 4 cello's. But for gaming I agree, the flavour of the original should be retained or the game should be called something else. With Space Invaders on the PSP they managed to capture the "feel" of the original. With this new Galaga, I'm not so sure. I still want it anyway 8) |

Much like music, there is more quality in games being produced today than any one person has time to identify or consume. In fact, I would go as far to say that the best of the best games being produced today are pushing the medium to true art. It's not my job to convince any close minded people of this. I've got to be done with this thread because it's like arguing about what color the sky is with someone who has never been outside. If you truly believe "that today’s game makers have almost no clue how to make a good game", go play Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus, Portal or anything developed by a little Japanese developer called Clover Studios. Great, great things are being done in games. It's your own loss of you're too stubborn to give them a chance. If these games are too broad in scope for you and you prefer the more focused gameplay experience of your classic arcade games, then you'll be glad to hear that the "Arcade" as we knew it 10-20 years ago is currently enjoying a similar renaissance. Small experience games are enjoying new life in the form of downloadable content on Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and you're home PC. Go give Puzzle Quest a download, or Everyday Shooter, or the previously mentioned Pac-man Championship Edition... or the upcoming Galaga Legions. In fact, as big budget games get more and more expensive to produce, expect the depth in quality of these smaller games to continue to grow. The arcade is dead... and that sucks. Fortunately we've got a great community here dedicated to keeping its memory alive. But to say that there are no good games (or music) being produced is completely aggravating. |

I assume your frustration is specific to a few people, but I can't help but feel insulted. How about we wait for it to come out and then we'll see how it goes, eh? Until then, I would think it wise for you to not argue about a new "Galaga" on a website dedicated to classic gaming. |
