/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.1217653]

What are unreleased retro games that /vr/ likes to play or wishes they could play? What about games that were vastly changed during development?

I want Viewpoint 2064

Looks way better than the original arcade game and also looks like a fine alternative to SF64.

Shenmue on the Saturn.
Conker Twelve Tales
Zelda 64
Beta OOT
Sonic Adventure on the Saturn

Yeah Yeah Beebiss.

I like Star Fox 2, that's the only one I personally played.

>>1217695 beat me to it. I also wonder what Conker Twelve Tales would have been like before they revamped it for adult content.

To be honest, most of the games that got canceled that I want to play are not retro. Battlefront 3 for example.

the beta for Banjo-Kazooie, with all the cut levels, Mt Fire Eyes, Fungus Forest, etc. I know most of them were reworked (Fungus Forest into DK64's Fungi Forest, and the others all into levels for Tooie) but I'd love to see how they would have done them for BK.

AKA. Final Fantasy 7,

Best known as Xenogears.

The last disc. My god the last disc...

Utter disappointment.

Why? Time constraints... God damn time constraints. I don't think ill ever get over it.

This, FF8 Gaiden. I wouldn't want it to replace anything else Square was working on back then, but it would've been interesting to play as Seifer.

I've not heard of this. It sounds pretty awesome.

From what i understand, Square was developing Xenogears as ff7, but ultimately decided that the FF7 we know today had a clearer story and was more fitting with the FF series in general, which i understand. However, they decided to pull some funding from this in order to keep the company afloat. Then they took what was supposed to be a three disc game developed over a few years and demanded it be finished in about half the time. To compensate the developers crushed the story that had yet to be completed on one disc, and it took a dramatic turn in quality on disc 2 as a result. story is just told, not shown. Characterization gets all fucked up. Ph, and plot threads are introduced out of no where. its pretty awful. Its quite sad, actually, as it was intedned to be part 5 in 6 part story that would be told over the course of 6 games, all out of order. This story is only found in its pure form in the Manga/guide book "Xenogears: Perfect Works" Whats amazing about the game was that it was brought over seas at all. Legend has it that the game was translated by one man staying up for over 48 hours straight. Anyway, the developers who worked on were angry at not being able to make their own story, and so left to make a new company. They made the Xenosaga games, which serve as a prequel to Xenogears, though with few character retaining their names, as the lost the rights to them. Its quite a sad story.

Despite all this, I personally consider the first disc to be the best JRPG I've ever played, and believe me, that's a lot.

I think it's funny how you can recognize nearly everything in these screen grabs from bad fur day. They just look cuter.

R-Gear, a sequel to RayForce that was cancelled in favor of bringing the series to 3D with RayStorm.

Pretty dumb decision there, I don't see the problem in releasing both one after another.

[Anonymous No.1218195]

Probably Halo as it was in development for Mac before "it happened." I still have a little "coming soon" flier for Halo that came with the mac action sack. Those were painful, painful days, up til then it seemed they could do no wrong

That's right, I'm still butthurt about the Bungie buyout

I might be confusing it with something else but wasn't it first intended to be an RTS or something?

[Anonymous No.1219984]

RayForce is held in such high regard that people seem to hate RayStorm just for daring to exist. I bought RayStorm forever ago just because the ship on the cover looked cool (and the game was on clearance for $10), and it's still one of my favorite shooters.

(The R-Gray is coolest ship.)

Not even The Dew could support such a translation effort...

Final Fantasy Gaiden was an April Fool's joke made by Gaming Intelligence Agency.

PC-Cocoron

Supposedly a Japanese guy has a copy of the game, or at least a dump of it on his computer, and refuses to share it with anyone. Prick.

Two games: The successor to super Mario RPG, before the project was scrapped and switched to paper Mario.

The second isnt really a retro but I want to play the sequel that blizzard was developing to diablo 2 before the good people left.

I think about this too from time to time and it makes me sad.

[Anonymous No.1220116]

Super Mario 64 2
URA Zelda

Also, not really /vr/, but pre-Miyamoto-fuck-up Paper Mario Sticker Star

I was coming in here to say Yeah Yeah Beebiss I too.
That game could be absolutely anything.

Sonic x-treme looked really fun to me, people say it wouldn't have competed very well, but it still looked like a good game to me at least
