Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

40 MEGA POWER is pretty good for a beat 'em up. Remember that this game won't need to have the amount of text in multiple languages that Pier Solar had so that frees up some space. I don't know how much space the text took up in Pier Solar though. I wonder if voice work will be needed. I volunteer if you need anything in English without accents. You know what I sound like and I can record professionally and provide uncompressed files. You know how to contact me. But then again voices may not be needed.

Great to hear, Joe! I thought you'd hate WaterMelon forever after that video fiasco. It's not good to be rancourous for too long . I'm sure your voice would fit a few characters in the game.

Cost, maybe?

It worked with Pier Solar. Less MEGA POWER could also mean less buyers.

Also, I can send in some cowboy sounds if you have a character it would match. I can do American or Mexican.

All I can say Joe is that some of our current characters are twice as big or taller then those in Streets of Rage 2... : )

And we are hard at work to overcome some technical aspects of the Genesis, but Fonzie seems confident. Only time will tell ; )

By the way, I love the Genesis, it`s still one of the best looking consoles ever made. It screams power!

Doubtful, since the investors were only willing to pay for 40. They're already getting more than they asked for.

Pier Solar was financed completely differently.

Super Street Fighter 2 had less buyers than Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition.

Again, this is technically very impressive but on the other hand: Who would want to play a bmup where the player's sprite or some regular thug takes up 1/3 of the screen. That would be ridiculous! And amateurish! I really, really hope you are talking about bosses...

Obviously you have never played China Warrior on the TurboGrafx 16

I would. I would also like a game without characters that are like Axel and Blaze .

[Joe Redifer]

I don't think they're gonna make a game that plays all clunky. Think about it. These guys have been playing Mega Drive games for decades. It's not like they're someone like Titus who makes games with absolutely no idea how they should be enjoyed. Just look at Pier Solar, their first effort. I'm confident that it'll be good. Maybe quirky, but that's OK. I'm not really expecting a straightforward beat 'em up and that's fine.

As long as there is at least one fighter who feels like a technical martial artist I will even be able to stomach anime art style.

Exactly how I picture Project Y by some of the more recent discussions. =P

edit: obviously not guys, I'm joking. Come on, I am not that kind of idiot.

Okay, I gotta agree with this. It's less that I want an exact Axel/Blaze clone but more like some sort of stereotypical hero character the player can identify with.

I don't know if it was the ridiculously large sprites, the MC's chillax walk cycle, or the semi-retarded music but this made me laugh!

Super Street Fighter 2 had less buyers than Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition.

That's could because people couldn't justify buying Super Street Fighter 2 after buying Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition. That would be like you releasing this game as a 40 MEG and later releasing some kind of ultimate edition at the 64 MEG and wondering where all of the buyers are. Not even to mention that Super Street Fighter 2 was a port of the SNES version so all the characters had small sprites compared to Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition. Super Street Fighter 2 plays better although most cannot see why since they don't like fighters enough to see the subtle yet very important improvements.

[retrospiel]

SF2CE is as much of a port of the SNES version as SSF2 is. Both aren't actual ports I think. They just shared some resources like the character sprites and used the same resolution (for many good reasons, including saving valuable space on cartridge).

- but yeah, I agree with your point. SSF2 didn't sell as good as expected because people had already bought SF2CE.
