There were arcade-exclusive new entries in both these series in just the last three years.

Single-Screen Platformers

>>4422418
they might as well not exist because only Japan has arcades now pretty much

>>4422361

>>4422418
you must live in a flyover state, the last three cities I've been to all had arcades and still do

Sim racers/sports are a big deal now, and the normalfags who love them look down on arcade-style games.

>>4422418
Yeah and the new Cruis'n was bad even by the series' low standards

So the trophy girl became a porn star eh?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0289364/

>>4422483
Holy shit
BRB gotta jerk off

>>4422483

Pachin... Oh wait.

>>4422430
>>4422375
Indie developers still make those today.

>>4422418
>>4422538

you're both missing the point.

limited arcade releases that will never be ported to consoles that only people in big cities will ever play, and indie pixelshit do not mean the genres are coming out of extinction.

>>4422483
Some of those ppl in the background look naked....

>>4422545
You're thinking of unpopularity rather than extinction.

There's also a wonderful machine called an automobile that enables you to leave the city you're living in temporarily.

>>4422550

They're wearing bikinis. The trophy girl is too but they censored it in the 64 version.

>>4422538
and most indie bums have no idea what made the originals good.

You're good at exaggerations. Also;

I pity you.

>>4422572
>exaggerating

>>4422581
>hundreds of miles
Even in the 80s there were bumfuck nowhere towns with no arcades, does that mean the people living there could assess the popularity of arcades?

>>4422556
To be fair, Capcom didn't know what made a good beat em up either.

>>4422623
Fuck you

>>4422430
I really miss don paco's

Arcade games seem to be well loved in packaged games like Yakuza though. At least somebody is bringing them back.

>>4422538
indie devs suck

Double Dragon 4 and River City Ransom Underground came out recently but idk how good they are

>>4422626
What game is this?

>>4422375
Dragon's Crown? It's even getting a PS4 port soon.

>>4422375
Yakuza, Sleeping Dragons, god of war... disagree with you.

I can't even tell if this looks awful or is just stylistic

>>4423053
intriguing

>>4423053
Awful

>>4422441
I suck at that game

>>4422530
Yes, became. The pornos were after Cruisin'. That's how time works.

>>4422552
>You're thinking of unpopularity rather than extinction
There's hard extinction, in which there are no more examples, and soft extinction wherein there are still examples but they will not be able to be sustained into the future.
If every living female giraffe died tonight, the giraffe as a species is defined as eminently (or pre-)extinct, but still technically extinct.
If the only examples of a certain genre of games limited to extremely regional release are left, you could argue that those games will necessarily make less money, leading to reduced development budgets, leading to games that make less money and so forth.
Blockbuster is a great example of this principle in action for a non-organic entity.

>>4422375
Um... Scott Pilgrim?

>>4422361
Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast

Great game, highly recommend!

>>4423397
unfortunately ps2 is the best way to play this
they really need a slight graphics update and re-release
>fucking perfect game
best arcade racer by far

>>4422493
Anon no it's still November

>>4422626
christ you're as bad as the SoR fags
both DnDs were hardly quality scrollers. overhyped, dumbed down babby's first scroller popular with millenials because it got a release on steam & modern consoles

>>4422538
yeah and they're all dumbed down garbage with added rpg shit to appease brainlet plebs.

>>4422873
they're all 3d you fucking arse and complete pleb shit compared to 1ccing arcade bmups.

>>4422378
Found the low skill pleb, sad.

>>4422623
This si either bait or complete scrub cunt, lemme guess you think sor2 is the best evarrr omg? you fucking suck if you can't see how good capcom bmups were and you'll never get good enough to realize it either, they aren't even that fucking hard to 1cc ffs if you actually know how to use your brain and actually think about what you're doing.

>>4423609
I actually agree with you on this, sor is for nostalgia and low skill fags and the dnds are decent but mega overated... the punisher, AvP and knights of the round are capcoms top tiers for me.

>>4423801
>dnds are decent
you need to be 18 to post

>>4423806
listen cock i don't like them either but you're pushing an open door if you're not even conceding that they are well made games, matter of fact if you can't separate your subjective preference from anything else then it's you who is underage.

>>4424142
What fact were you stating?

>>4423053
Horrendous art direction, holy shit. Who on earth looked at that and thought "Yeah, this looks good?"

I can't even bring myself to try and list all the things wrong with it. It's full of 'babbys first HD retro game' mistakes.

>>4422369
Those didn't die with arcades, they died with CRT screens, because there's now basically no way achieve that kind of gameplay in your living room with a single cheap peripheral.

>>4424135
why the butthurt? are you by chance a disgusting hipster with an indie pixelshit game in development?

>>4424201

>>4423795
Cee could you do me a favor and put a trip on.

>>4423609
Tower of Doom is underrated, people just overhype Mystara

I miss when we had a shitposting arcadefag who liked SoR and D&D, the current crop is a definite step down

>>4422538

and they suck, like all other "indie" """"""""""""""""games"""""""""""""""", so who cares

>>4424309

>>4424302

>>4424309
>>4424336
This. Rail shooters are Space Harrier and Star Fox

>>4424371

babbys first driving game

>>4424368
Space Harrier and Star Fox are belt scrollers, because the environment constantly scrolls forward, like you're moving down a conveyor belt. Time Crisis and House of the Dead are first-person shooters, for obvious reasons. Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara are real-time role-playing games, for equally obvious reasons. Cruisn series etc are Outrun-likes.

>>4424509
Streets of rage is a belt scroller

>>4422626

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (1996)

>>4422361

>>4422840
Dragon’s Crown was such a fun and lovingly crafted game.

>>4422483
>TIL.

>>4422375
Fight'N Rage.

>>4423609
Funnily enough I was going to post Battle Circuit but then I remembered the game forces you to milk money and some characters like yellow can get money rather easily while others like green are fucked in the ass and unbalanced.
But still, I appreciate them for trying something different, they had already perfected the genre with FF anyway.

>>4423053
Sheeeeit nigga this is my jam. I can instantly tell this art direction is going to turn a lot of people off, but I really dig it. Reminds me of Killer Instinct on n64. Maybe this can soothing salve for my heart now that Paprium isn't getting released

>>4422375
Not saying the genre isn't on life support at best, but I really enjoyed Mother Russia Bleeds. That one's relatively new. I don't know how it compares to all them really cool arcabe bmups challenge-wise or whatever. I'm not good at gauging that shit. I mean I beat it so it can't be that tough. Someone more experienced have any thoughts on it?

>>4424749
I think that's called stockholm syndrome.

>>4423812
Fuck man, those two posts just left a bad taste in mouth. I do apologize. I wanted to be cheeky, to echo and parody the sort of dickhead arcade purist we get here who got their videogame taste on Mount fucken Sinai, but I ended up just sounding like a shitposting genital. I am stupidest when I try to be funny.
For the record I am exactly that guy who loves the fuck out the SoR games. No nostalgia neither; got introduced to the games basically this year. I do agree arcade Punisher is sweet.

>>4424810
sor is beginner desu, learn to 1cc a good arcade bmup to see why sor can't compete.

>>4424902
Eh. I think I'll still like SoR. I'm easily pleased. Recommend a good babby one?

>>4424902
sorr is about on par with the higher tier arcade jab & jogs

>>4424569
Bust A Move?

>>4423438
PC version has gotten quite a few fixes in recent years though.

>>4424309
they're called rail shooters because you can't choose where to go, its like your character is riding on rails.

>>4424762
not nearly the same thing

>>4422361

MMORPGs

>>4425019
Isn't it still missing some visual effects from the Xbox version? BC on the xbone would great

>>4425320
Eh I played the PSP version of Coast 2 Coast with that horrid sub-15 framerate and still thought it was fine. No point in stressing over "definitive" versions, man.

>>4425326
True, not like there's a bad version. Having one in 1080/60 with all the goodies would be nice though.

>>4423053
there's a part in the trailer where the player throws an enemy and they kinda botched the animation. the enemy just goes through the player's body.

just looking at this you can tell it's unsatisfying to play

and I think high resolutions for 2d graphics was a mistake. I was playing a compilation of Samurai Shodown games and they look fantastic except for 6 which was on more advanced hardware and ran at 480p. it looked like flash animation.

>>4425019
Can you get feedback in the steering wheel?

>>4425248
I also never get motion sickness when playing video games, but something about this clip makes me queasy.

>>4425359
Well the game is in early access

>>4424810
Switch got a new beat em up called Wulverblade. Medieval age setting. But it's for this segmented animation instead of sprites that looks like flash shit. Also you can't turn the screen shake off which I fucking can't stand.

>>4425261
Good, fuck these """games"""

>>4426749
careful with that axe eugene

>>4426756
No mercy. I don't give a shit about those "pretty" skinner boxes

>>4426771
Lol now I don't even know what you're talking about

>>4426784
MMORPGs are straight Operant conditioning chambers for humans

>>4426791
"""""""""Whee """"conspiracy theories""""""""""""""""""""

>>4426803
It's not a conspiracy, it's STRAIGHT as I said. People actively go search for these chambers, it's what they find fun. They openly say they like progress systems and find games without boring or "lacking content".

In fact, those people far outnumber the ones that enjoy gameplay.

>>4426808
Ok. But World of Warcraft had better gameplay than the Cruisin' series.

>>4426808
So a game someone finds fun isn't a game, it's a """"""game'""". Good times.

>>4426812
If your definition of gameplay is an operant conditioning chamber then yes, of course. For you, and for many more as I said.

Game companies realised this was the case at some point and that's why pure, true gameplay without progress systems is going by the wayside, it's a much less profitable market, a more niche audience.

>>4426820
You may find a VN fun but it's still a digital illustrated book with maybe some CYOA elements.

And I define MMORPGs as another type of software as well. Operant conditioning chamber, for those who find this fun, which are a lot as you see (even if they're moving to other more modern examples).

>>4426826
>You may find a VN fun but it's still a digital illustrated book with maybe some CYOA elements.

Okay, and?

>>4426821
I don't play WoW but from what I've seen from friends there were some decent tactics and planning they were using for some raids. I'd put that alone above Crusin which isn't quite shit but is pretty braindead and uninteresting.

If someone forced me at gunpoint to play either for more than a couple of hours I'd probably pick wow.

>>4426826
Where do you draw a line between an operant conditioning chamber and a game that features grinding?

>>4427019
And they did that stuff to get the rewards more than anything. And they knew it. And you know it.

>>4427142
There's no line, that's grinding. A game with that gets automatically deluted and begins to attract the progress-craving populace more.

>>4427234
>And they did that stuff to get the rewards more than anything.

Okay. They were still playing and enjoying themselves which is the whole point in the first place.

>>4427270
Of course, I'm not denying that. Just that it's a different kind of entertainment altogether even if it's also digital

One that I personally dislike and I hate seeing mixed up as a proper video game

>>4427293
I guess we'll just have to disagree on all that then.

>>4424810
back to your >>/reddit/ hugbox, soyboy

>>4427293

the punisher on defaults, took me under 10 hrs from scratch to get a 1cc, undercover cops and denjin makai are great to, the difference with arcade is you'll have to actually think about routing and enemy placements and develop good skills of herding and resource use.

>>4424948
No it isn't because it still has all the qualities of sor which make it much easier ie infinite charging special bar and tons of lives and the a.i on mania is just weird where everythings just jacked to unnatural looking speed..

>>4428113
>tons of lives
Easily solvable if you go for a no-miss.
Git gud.

>>4422829
>Double Dragon 4
They gave up on trying to make the game good and decided instead to pander to nostalgia seekers.
Instead of actually working to make a decent experience, they ripped sprites from the originals and shat out a mediocre product that I would be shocked to find took more than 3 months to create.

>River City Ransom Underground
Basically just River City Ransom on a larger scale, and that's fine. It has enough quality content that it can stand up on its own without relying on "OH I REMEMBER THIS" reactions. Long-time fans and new players can both legitimately enjoy it.

>>4428127
DD4 is one of the worst videogames I've ever played.

I would regret paying for it but I remember all the copies of RCR I've pirated so I owe them something. Which reminds me there's a brand new RCR on 3DS out like this week too lmao brb pirating

>>4422361

Arcade racers are still being made, see the new Daytona and the upcoming SEGA World Drivers Championship 2018. Stop trying to bury whats not dead yet OP.

>>4428257
IF Sega make them.
If it's someone else, then it's plagued with a "card system" that will give you a "free turbo" if you pay once more.
Of course, no matter how well you play, the "free turbo" is what will make the difference between the one who will win and the one who will lose.

>>4428378
See, that's what I'm trying to say. If the point is not the gameplay then it's not a video GAME

>>4423609
lol the dnd side scrollers are tough and easily the most complex games ever in the genre. you are a literal retard. also the ONLY good video games ever to come from the dnd franchise

>>4428392
Gotta agree at least on the "only good DnD video games" since all the others are progress system bullshit and not pure arcade gameplay

>>4428382
Not him but it's very cleary a game, just not one you like. They're unquestionably video games

>>4428435
Cookie Clicker and VNs are also a video game since they're digital stuff that you can somehow interact with, right? Whatever, I'm done with this, this is a lost battle. Enjoy your current state of "video games", people.

>>4428437
Techbically yes. Something being a game doesn't mean it's good, doesn't mean you have to like it. You might think WoW is garbage, I sure do. But that doesn't in any way make it not a game. And it doesn't make the people who don't think it's garbage and enjoy playing it bad in some way.

>>4423438
No way, PC version is excellent. Even has a significant mod in the works by a guy over on byoac forums

>>4422447
I'm in Ohio and there is a veritable arcade renaissance happening, Columbus has a ton of them now. Guess everybody realized that no one here has anything to do after the college football season ends and the winter grey moves in.

>>4428448
>I'm in Ohio and there is a veritable arcade renaissance happening, Columbus has a ton of them now.
Fellow Columbusfag reporting in, can vouch for this anon. Old North Arcade is solid, Level One is decent (some filler but there are MvC2 and Magic Sword cabinets so it's all good), then Akiba Arcade is fucking stellar. Haven't been to 16-Bit but the one up north in Lakewood is good, then Cincinnati has Arcade Legacy and Cedar Point's arcade remains surprisingly good (at least since the last time that I was there).

Every arcade thread I always have to shill for Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor, MI. It's a genuine old-school operation running since I don't know how long, still coin-op for the genuine experience. The selection is nothing short of stellar, plenty of fighting games along with light guns and a number of other things, and the atmosphere just cannot be beaten.

>>4423053
I think they nailed it. Looks just like a mid-90s PC game that was inspired by streets of rage but aimed for mortal kombat-style digitized graphics.

>>4428445
Exactly this. It's the same shit as with definitions of "art". Some people only want to call the good stuff art.

>>4425243

unimpressive. the character animations are bad and too restricted for such a high res game. you might have got away with it 20 years ago, but not today.

>>4428392
Those are belt-scrollers, not side-scrollers. Side-scrollers don't let you walk around in pseudo-3D.

>>4428437
>>4428474

The video game is there. A good mmorpg like the old ones talked about ITT put person to person interaction before gameplay.

Modern gamers have an extremely hard time understanding this. All they can comprehend is graphics and modern gameplay. A tab target combat system like in WoW may as well be mobile trash to them. And they'll never bother going deeper into the game.
