They need to port Seaman to Switch (Switches have mics don't they?)

>(Anybody know if it played like shit?)
Allegedly the original Japanese version plays way better. No I don't have a citation or source of this you're gonna have to take my word and if you can't well then fuck off back to /v/ cause I ain't got time to deal with little twerps who don't trust me.

>>8592924
It's really finicky to control because even if you pronounce things very clearly, the game will only recognize certain words for certain items/actions. It can quickly become frustrating when you know what you want the character to do, but for some reason, the mic just isn't hearing you right.

It's an interesting idea though. In a way, the voice system is basically just an old school text adventure, but with a microphone.

>>8593187
Is it true if you pronounced the words like a Japanese person speaking english, that the game actually responds more accurately?

>>8593025
I could believe it. The game is very specific about what words it will accept, so I imagine the translation from Japanese to English could complicate things.

Am I fucked trying to play this with an Australian accent?

This rhythm/platforming game let you play use your own music cd's to create levels on the spot which is pretty cool for 1999

its all connected...

people meme on lifeline but its not a bad game. decent graphics, interesting story and combination of survival horror with romance/dialogue options elements, etc. only thing that kept it obscure and meme tier is the voice command. interesting ideas filter normies

I sometimes tried a mexican accent (and I am a euro lol) which sometimes still works better

>>8593890

I'd like a port of Odama too, the other voice controlled game by Saito.

>>8592924
has anyone made a mod for this game to play it without the need of that shitty mic?

>>8593025
I don't believe you

>>8593894
That's a Cuban accent kek

>>8594040
>has anyone made a mod of typing of the dead where you dont need to type things
anon what is the point

>>8593025
Sounds believable. But because YOU said it and with your track record I'm erring on the side of doubt.

>>8593243
The problem with Vib Ribbon is that the in-built soundtrack is so good you never want to try your own CDs anyway.

>>8593927
Wasnt this game also supposed to be controlled with the DK bongos?

>>8594142
kek yeah, they were planning a co-op mode where the second player would assist by banging on the drums to boost the morale of the troops, but they didn't have time to implement it before release.

>>8592924
Serial Experiments Lain is a media jigsaw puzzle of various memos, diaries, recordings that you need to put together in your head to figure out the plot.

Tutorial

>>8594683
Rife rine

>>8593894
I only tried a mexican accent because the game asked to to pronounce green in the tutorial and after some failed attempts I said something like "greencard illegal mexicans" (which worked lmao)

>>8594217
Oh wow, thats not even what i was thinking it was gonna be, i assumed the bongos just acted as the flipper control.

>>8593243
This but cds spawned monsters for you to ranch.

>>8595346
They are remastering this. Finally. It should be out this autumn.

>>8592924
Mad Maestro: the rhythm game with 32 inputs as light, medium, and hard presses are all separate inputs.

Can't ignore the synesthesia games: Rez and Lumines. Rez came with a special rumble controller to help you feel the beat. Lumines is more standard but used graphics to try to get you to feel music. Xbox 360 remaster has rumble optional if memory serves.

>>8595382
You are very out of the loop, I can tell. Rez is meant to be played in VR.

>>8595346
When I was a kid, my friend rented this game and came over to my house with a duffel bag full of every game, computer, and music CD he owned, in the hopes of playing with the create-a-monster feature. But then we played Crash Bandicoot instead.

>>8595572
They didn't have VR in the retro era. Ok, nothing worth playing, anyway. How does it play in VR, anyway?

>>8596172
>How does it play in VR, anyway?
Its transcendent. I like zoning out in it, just barely flicking my wrist around to highlight the enemies. I put a bunch of controllers around me in soft pouches so that they'll vibrate to the music, and since I've played the game so many times, I basically mastered the timing on each of the levels so that the music syncs up with my actions. I've reached peaks of synesthesia a few times, but I wonder how much picrel would enhance that experience.

>>8594113
I'm not talking about typing of the dead, and that's functional, this isn't.
I want a normal experience for this game.

It came with a headset that you were supposed to use to give orders to your squad.

>>8596452
i thought this feature was cool in rainbow six 3

>>8592924
I love Rio Hohenheim!
Sexy blonde space gal!

>>8596452
You could also use that headset in Manhunt, the mic for luring hunters to a position and you could only hear the director through the ear piece. It's a really fucking atmospheric way to play.

>>8596424
How would you even play it? You know you dont actually directly control the character, right? You, the player, is in a control room communicating with her. It would just be a generic c-tier survival horror without it.

>>8597461
Too bad she's retarded.

>>8597523
But that makes her even better

>>8597530
this anon knows what's up

>>8593243
I remember this

>>8592924
The episode of Xplay that reviewed this game was one of my favorites. Thanks for reading.

>>8596424
there is no normal lifeline experience
it's a reflection of your being

>>8597530
Go home, JF

>>8597461
i literally tried this game just so i could try telling her lewd things and i masturbated while ordering her around

>>8598192
I love it when she gets excited like when the player finally manages to guess the word "molotov cocktail" in the infirmary. She demands you start naming off items found in an infirmary, and the build up made me swell. Her behavior is so air-headed and inquisitive, and suddenly she excitedly yelps out; "That's IT, operator! We'll find some alcohol and make a molotov cocktail!!" Hearing her say "cock" was a little too much for me. Also, this is the same part of the game where you can switch the computer in the infirmary on and get the command "sexy pose."

>>8594127
Absolutely true, not even once I had the urge to play custom tracks.

It did more than that, Anon…

>>8596245
Sounds kinda gay

>>8592924

I played and beat it back in the day...
It was an adventure game for the most part, though there were a few QTE scenes.

I only really got stuck twice, once because I had to look up the exact word it wanted, and the other time because of adventure game logic.

The voice control I found to actually work fairly well. Though, with the same problems as old adventure games WITH the need to enunciate everything clearly.
