the sequel was good but handled kind of awkwardly.

As a kid, I couldn't put my finger on it but I did not enjoy the second one as much as the first one.

The soundtrack is awesome.

I'm aware of the sequel but I liked the original one better. I want either a 3rd offensive or a game based on the original. Man my wallet is itching - what is activision waiting for?

They did do an HD remake for Xbox Live Arcade(PSN too?) it's only 5 bucks I think.

[–]garotte80 2 points3 points ago

It just wont be the original. the n64 controller was perfect for all of the hidden combos. Neither the sequel or twisted metal came close in my opinion. Also I would like to publicly challenge anyone to match my survival score of 56 in this game. I will track down my photo evidence.

The exploding laser disco ball of death was the best weapon in that game, followed closely by the bass quake

DO NOT BUY! I loved the N64 classic but the XBL arcade version was garbage at best. I bought it on sale and still regretted it. Playstation 1 looking graphics, terrible mechanics and it's the same thing after the second boss. No me gusta.

[–]Foxprowl 7 points8 points ago

And it comes with TM:Black if you get an early copy. Black is the best car-fighting game in existence right now. So pumped for the new TM. You even get a coupon for flowers when you pre-order (releases Valentine's Day).

TM: Black was amazing. I spent so much time unlocking all the characters and learning the levels.

[–]Foxprowl 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You and me both, brotha! I loved how dark and gritty the character stories and movies were. I started with Mr. Grimm (my personal fave) and beat the game with every character just to watch the cut scenes.

I HATED fighting Minion with Darkside and Manslaughter. The helicopter was tough, but Minion was a fucking shit-eater.

[–]ryokea 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The story behind each character was the sole reason I poured so many hours into that game just to unlock each one.

Minion was a bitch to get passed with certain characters. I distinctly remember rage quitting many times during my quest of 100% completion.

[–]Foxprowl 0 points1 point ago

Me right now

Are you getting the new one when it comes out? It'll probably be a day 1 purchase for me.

[–]ryokea 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Of fucking course, was not picking it up even an option? I'm going to check to see if there's a midnight launch event so I can attend, always love chatting with fellow gamers at those things.

[–]KuramaSutra 0 points1 point ago

TM: Black is massively underrated. You hardly hear anyone talk about that game.

I think it's the best as well.

Sadly, the original developer was closed down at the beginning of 2010

Not saying a new game wouldn't be good from another developer, but it would be sad to see it be created without some of the same people.

Twisted metal for those that did not have a Playstation. And I fucking loved it.

[–]Pokemansparty 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I remember playing Vigilante 8: 2nd offense on my Dreamcast when it came out. My friend and I would play it constantly and we had a blast. I tried playing it again with my friend and we realized...man that game isn't that good, it doesn't stand the test of time. It gave us more frustration than enjoyment.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The vehicles in the frostbite engine leave a lot to be desired. Jeeps can't start driving if they're on a hill for example, moving at high speeds makes your vehicle rubber band, random objects stop tanks in their tracks, etc

I would buy. Scaling wouldn't need to be changed much, just a face lift for a classic mode.

Oh most definitely. The hardest part right now is finding a complete, working copy of Frost Bite 2 engine SDK. I can put together a team in no time to have this done.

A relative of mine, who worked for Activision when they were developing this game, told me a funny story about the school bus they used for this commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jms2zOU2MZE

When they were delivering the school bus to the shoot, they had to tow it for obvious reasons. He said that when people saw the charred, mangled bus on the back of a trailer on the freeways of LA, they often called news/police/schools out of panicked concern.
