My thoughts on Marvel MaXimum Collection

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Marvel is doing it once again. Somehow more surprised than Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. They just announced Marvel MaXimum Collection. Which actually coming to Xbox I still can't believe this now exists!!! Honestly, I am very sold on getting this Marvel collection soon.

The lineup itself has a few notable mixed received video games. By now, everyone seen Silver Surfer episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd show. It's quite famous for it's high difficulty among hardcore gamers. Now it's being viewed as a cult classic. I really didn't expect Marvel bring this NES game back.

I previously played the XBLA port of X-Men: The Arcade Game. A great licensed X-Men beat 'em up game indeed. Despite the engrish within such lines as. "Welcome to Die!!! before falling down an water fall genius!!! This game was loosely based on a failed cartoon pilot. Now called X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men.

It's failure led to the awesome X-Men: The Animated Series. I still felt that game was the best part regarding that failed pilot episode. Captain America and The Avengers is going to be the one that differs the most between the versions. Majority of them will be beat 'em up games with the arcade version being the original version.

It's becoming more common that the SNES version a bad port of that game. It's more surprising the Genesis version being the best port. Of course we gotta talk about the NES game. It's more of a sidescroller you can sorta choose your routes with a few playable characters. It's more what you would expect of the concept.

I saved three particular licensed Marvel games last for a great reason. I had all three of them growing up on Sega Genesis. Software Creations developed them the famous weird eye logo game company. In a sense I could call this Spider-Man and trilogy since that's in their titles. I previously mentioned two of them a good while ago.

Both Spider-Man and Venom games are beat 'em up games. You can find character icons that briefly brings em in to help you out a little bit. Ultimately, Carnage ended up being both games' antagonist. It's safe to say, Separation Anxiety was a huge step down from Maximum Carnage. Maximum Carnage was among the greatest 90s Marvel games I ever played!!!

Now with cheats being among the many enhancements I could finally finish the game. Separation Anxiety does have codes through it's password system. I always preferred playing as Venom since I actually like the character more. I am still happy we're getting both of them soon. It's finally time to talk about one of my most hated licensed video games growing up.

Spider-Man and The X-Men in Arcade's Revenge was a rushed crossover game. You start playing as Spider-Man before you can play as some of the X-Men members. This game is not balanced when it comes to its' difficulty. Sure the soundtrack is easily the best thing by far. They do try to make everyone's levels differ from each other I'll give them that.

Obviously I plan to use the cheats to get through the game. Although if infinite lives among those options. I would like to play through with just that first. I gotta mention the famous Juggernaut boss fight. Just when you think you figure out how this game works. Boss fights like this will flip that entirely on it's head!!!

They did confirm an music section. Majority of these Marvel games going to really shine there. I'm more interested in seeing what's within the Archives section myself. Especially if it ends up being just as overwhelming as TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection. Thank god rewind is also included to prevent some bad situations.

It truly sounds like Marvel going the full distance with this. Just imagine an entire X-Men game compilation in the near future possibly Spider-Man for that matter. Although if it were possible for an Hulk collection. I'll be very up to playing that if it ever happens. Honestly, I really hope this won't suck.

My thoughts on Jackass 5 being the last movie

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a little history about today's topic. Originally Jackass was an MTV show that ran for three seasons. A lot movies followed after the show ended. Right now, Johnny Knoxville currently hosting a classic show called Fear Factor. The concept involves a small group of people doing rather stupid, dangerous stuff.

From Jackass 2 to up, they shot enough footage to make em into two movies each. Knoxville recently started Jackass 5 going to be the last movie in the franchise. I don't know how that would affect some things. Like Jackass Presents movies were essentially their own things. Just curious if they continue things through that or not.

They always could do one of the recurring jokes into another movie. Jackass 5 should somehow be even bigger than Jackass Forever!!! I am talking very ambitious quite dangerous stunts. Of course, always expect something truly disgusting to show up. After all, this is all entertainment at their own expense.

Some might view this as evolution from slap stick comedy to doing stunts like these!!! I absolutely would love Steve-O to be in the movie. Highly doubt Bam going to regarding what happened with the previous Jackass movie. I know they got some newer members. This could be their time to shine in a rather huge possibly epic way.

Jackass 5 doesn't need to be the funniest movie of the year. But regarding how much of it is real, I still think we're getting a pretty funny movie. Knoxville might just be there since the previous movie was meant to be his last with the team. He might agree to one final stunt for the movie though.

They always get quite creative with the stunts. Not a lot of people realizes some gets changed due to one of them doesn't wanna do the stunts. Let's just say for argument purposes, some of them are braver than others. I'm not directly calling any of them stupid despite the franchise's name. They virtually started something that changed many things at a scary fate rate.

Back when Jackass was just a show on MTV. Just imagine how much changed since then? Of course, there's plenty controversial surrounding the franchise. Nearly every franchise you could think of has something people don't like. In that regard, who cares what had happened anymore? Jackass always meant to be a fun but dangerous concept.

Majority of the original members are close friends like an family. You know they got each other's backs for life. Jackass was meant to be much bigger than a show. Hell that's exactly why we gotten a lot of Jackass movies. The world not going to be the same after this particular Jackass movie.

The same director through all of this is rather impressive in itself. Whose a close friend to the team for a long time. I wouldn't even be surprised they use all the footage in a Jackass movie for once. Which haven't been done since the original Jackass movie. Nearly twenty four years ago no less is rather difficult to imagine it's been that long!!!

Bam lucked out getting into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. Personally I wish Bam Margera good luck. Jackass 5 doesn't need to be a particular Tom Green in Japan. What I would absolutely love to see. It doesn't even need to be the final stunt of the movie. It actually might be too ambitious to end up getting cut from the film.

They usually end these Jackass movies with a rather huge series of stunts with a lot of members. Well I would love they based major sections off of a particular Jackass movie. Showcasing this epic journey through out the years. Of course, this needs to end on a very high note. Jackass 5 needs to be rememberable from start to finish to live up to it's legacy.

My thoughts on The Mist (upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen King)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, It seems like nearly every year. Stories kept getting adapted by the author Stephen King. I recently found out about The Mist with writer-director Mike Flanagan. Who previously worked on Doctor Sleep movie. Personally I wanna share my thoughts on what's known about his take on the concept he's turning into a movie.

I absolutely loved his version of Doctor Sleep a lot. I still haven't seen the extended version but I heard it's great!!! He had to convince King to making his Doctor Sleep into a follow up to The Shining movie he dislikes. To be fair, I felt he's done an amazing job bridging the two movies together.

He already stated he doesn't wanna recreate Frank Darabont's version. Darabont made some truly fantastic movie adaptations of Stephen King's works. Everyone criticized the ending Darabont chosen for his movie. Honestly, I hope it's way better than The Mist show version. To me, it was too far from the source material.

It actually came off more of a show that easily could've been an Silent Hill show funny enough. Despite the fact, Silent Hill stories mostly involves mysterious fogs not mist. I still felt one of the absolute worst adaptations based on King's works. I know this director also a huge Stephen King fan.

I could throw out some possibilities that might be in the movie. I have virtually no inside information at all. Which means if any or somehow all of this happens. Honestly I'll be a little surprise to a degree. The short story itself came from Skeleton Crew. One of many collection books King written over the years.

I also believe The Mist later gotten an stand alone release as well due to popularity of the movie. The Mist involves a group of people trying to survive from a mysterious mist. All sorta of crazy stuff happens as the story goes on. Just a normal day in the office for Stephen King lol. I felt one of the main characters was involved what caused this to happen.

Another likely thing that could show up in the movie is these creatures are more nightmare fuel. None of that based on your fears like the show version. It doesn't have to recreate John Carpenter's The Thing either to truly be terrifying. We could see with seeing people panic trying to escape. Very quickly everything goes bad that's difficult to watch.

I actually hoping we focus on a small group of survivors. They have to take huge risks to survive. Which includes often changing locations to better their chances at surviving the nightmare. This by itself already be doing more than the show. I also would like to see an unexpected cameo from Stephen King.

You know King has to show up at some point. I just hope his cameo fits with the theme. I don't even care King on screen for a few seconds either. I just wanna see King nail this cameo with a rather unexpected end to that surprise. I also hope to see one of these creatures gets captured. They believed they killed it until at a point the creature starts attacking.

I wanna see an scene they attempt to figure out what they're dealing with. Of course, this is going to be very disgusting to watch in many ways. Adding in that creature starts attacking people trying to examine it's body. The intensity going to go through the roof when that happens.

The Mist doesn't have to be the greatest King adaptation to date. Considering how great his adaptation of Doctor Sleep was. I do think it's going to be one of the finest within 2020s for sure. Right now I'm already going in with huge expectations. Notably higher than the show version please don't watch that crap.

Not only that, I also would like to see the military try fighting off these creatures. It's difficult to see which could be more effective? At the beginning, the military quickly falls would bring despair earlier into the story. I actually felt a greater impact would've been putting that towards the end.

Just when all hope seems to be lost. The mist suddenly goes away with not many creatures left. People armed that's left starts going around killing em off while rescuing people. Sorta like Night of the Living Dead (90s version) ending in a sense. The director could have whoever left close their eyes about to get killed.

Further surprising the audience that creature gotten killed before the person it almost attacked. This needs to happen quite fast for it to work well or possibly risking ruining the ending. If I were writing this the group would start out as a rather huge size amount of people. Quickly overtime, that number goes down fast scaring many people that's left.

Roughly an handful of people are left by that point. They had to split up to pull off a rather ambitious plan often viewed as a suicide mission. This by itself could heavily impact the ending. I'll watch this newer take on the short story soon. Maybe I'll do an comparison blog which I haven't done in a good while.

I also want the actual look of the mist look both realistic. At the same time, harder to tell when anything happens. Like a bigger creature slams into a large vehicle. Sending it towards the group with at least one person not surviving. I just hope the actual mist usage lives up to the scary factor King set into place.

Why Sonic series deserves to be on GOG?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, GOG has many franchises within gaming. There's a particular one that gotten me into many things gaming as a whole. Easily among the highest grossing game franchises in the world. I personally been waiting a long time for Sonic franchise to get on GOG. Sonic always has been Sega's most popular game franchise.

Even with Sega's current direction I don't like. There's plenty of great Sonic games that should get onto their service soon. A lot of Sonic games I'm going to mention are really obvious. The first three Sonic games from Sega Genesis truly deserves to be on there. Yes Sonic 3 was split up into two games.

The later had an unique lock-on cartridge mechanic not done anywhere else. Effectively combining the two halves together with some cool extras. This also allowed you to play an infinite amount of levels version of the mini game Blue Sphere. You also can play as Knuckles in Sonic 2. Possibly the first of the lock-on games I remembered as a kid.

Sonic Adventure series are two fantastic 3D Sonic games. Both always been so iconic to me in different ways. Sonic Adventure 1 made story telling critical for future Sonic games. I also loved the unique textures of the locations. Still among the best voice acting Sonic games to date. A huge variety of game play to keep you busy for hours.

Sonic Adventure 2 introduced Shadow the Hedgehog. This might be difficult to believe but he's still my favorite Sonic character. I liked instead of each character had their own stories. We had two from the start representing sides to the same game. Among beating both of them unlocks the true conclusion to the game.

Sonic Mania later Sonic Mania Plus made by Sonic fans. Sega allowed them to make their Sonic 4 game. Honestly, it was a truly amazing Sonic game. Yes I'm now aware some of the people included done terrible things. I just wanna support the game itself that's it. Sonic Mania felt like a true classic Sonic game the fans waited a long time for.

Another personal favorite of mine is Sonic Generations. A lot of the stages can be played between classic style with Classic Sonic. The modern stages are played by Modern Sonic. Basically we get to swap between 2D and 3D Sonic game play that works amazingly well!!! So many Sonic songs you could listen to.

Not to mention, there's plenty great content outside it's solo DLC. The older versions had a port of Sonic 1. Yes I'm also aware there's a newer game compilation. I will be honest I haven't played it myself yet. I have spoken to an friend about this version. There's some weird dialogue changes in the newer version.

The true high light being an Shadow fan was Shadow gets his own game. From what I seen way better than Shadow the Hedgehog game. I also gotta mention Sonic Colors. I haven't played the newer version that's more mixed reception. I sure enjoyed the original Wii version a lot though. You can use these colored aliens like power ups to do some amazing stuff.

I also love the surprise interactivity in a few areas of the game. Sonic Colors was an amazing entry in the franchise. Keep in mind, I'm only talking about the main entries. Of course, Sonic has some decent spin off games as well. The first decent Sonic spin off game I played was Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

Yes it was originally an Puyo Puyo game. As far as I'm aware neither Sonic or Tails in the game either. End of the day this still remains an fun, addicting puzzle game. Obviously a few crossover racing Sonic games are worth mentioning. Especially if you love many Sega franchises for that matter.

I actually considered the ones I played better than most Mario Kart games I played. I would be very interested in playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds. An honorable mention since it was a free Sonic game for April Fools a few years ago. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog was a rather unexpected Sonic game.

The game itself played out like an mystery game. It was their take on concepts like the famous board game Clue. This easily could've been rushed out. But I quickly notice they put a surprisingly level of care into this. Eventually you get to play as Sonic was a nice surprise. Honestly, that's a great free Sonic game for what it is.

There's a lot of people heavily into this franchise. I do think if Sega plays their cards right. They'll be making money as well as many thousands to millions of fans happy at the same time. Sega mostly gotten Like a Dragon franchise on there. Assuming that franchise doing amazingly well.

It further bags the question when Sega finally going to put the blue hedgehog to GOG? Sonic has a lot of video games to begin with. I would love any of the ones that do get on there gets into their preservation program. Which means GOG directly updates the games as well as quickly fixes em when any major problems shows up.

Sonic was a major inspiration to the world of gaming. Let's be brutally honest, Nintendo never going to bring Mario to their service. You are better off with gaming's second greatest gaming mascot. Suddenly that should give em more reason to bring the Sonic franchise there. Sonic has been done in many genres to clarify.

This by itself means in some form. Someone going to find something they like with the character. Most Sonic games has such fantastic soundtracks. I know Sega still funny with the late Michael Jackson over Sonic 3 situation. Regardless, this is a franchise that earned it's place in gaming.

Of course, Sonic is far from perfect. Sega made plenty of huge mistakes with the franchise. If you're in the need of nostalgia then look no forward than this franchise. Steam already has access to a lot of Sonic games excluding a couple they delisted. I do think Sonic franchise going to be quite big on GOG.

It's the kind of news as soon as you hear it. You drop everything to look into it. Then you quickly have to go buy em afterwards. I do think a lot of people going to have that reaction. Honestly, Sonic could bring a lot of people in that never bought anything on GOG before. Which is critical for all parties involve.

Is Devil May Cry 2 Really That Bad?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I didn't say anything about Devil May Cry 2 in my old Devil May Cry HD Collection review. I know this particular topic by now nearly everyone has done. I still felt like doing my own take on the game. I'm going to be brutally honest about Devil May Cry 2.

Not only it's the absolute worst Devil May Cry game ever made. It also is among my least favorite Capcom games I ever played!!! Don't worry I played both campaigns. A huge factor why this game sucked so much. Capcom chosen to do a stupid move right off the bat no literately. They had a different team from the team behind the original Devil May Cry game make this.

You can tell the DMC2 team didn't understand what exactly was Devil May Cry? In most things Devil May Cry, Dante is an arrogant, cocky devil hunter. Easily one of the most famous Capcom protagonists in history for that matter. Somewhat this team made him incredibly boring!!! Dante was now incredibly serious despite this stupid coin trick he does.

This was originally an two disc game. But it didn't make sense going that route though. A great example of a popular Capcom game that needed two disc was Resident Evil 2 classic. Majority of the content was on both discs. Neither could've held all four scenarios on one disc. Dante's portion on one of the discs with Lucia representing the other disc.

As far as I'm aware Lucia still haven't appeared since this game. Dante uses guns along with his sword like in most things Devil May Cry series. Lucia constantly throws daggers with her own devil transformation. It's a little weird both can fly when originally late into the original Devil May Cry. Transformed Dante could only fly during a particular phase against Mundus.

Lucia's campaign is a little shorter than Dante's. Some bosses are shared to a degree. I gotta be honest none of them stands out!!! In most DMC games your melee attacks deals more damage than your fire arms/projectiles. Not here, your melee damage is not ideal. It's notably lower melee damage than possibly those in most DMC games I'm not kidding.

In comparison to your guns as well as projectiles. You actually could cheat the game by constantly firing em. You are dealing ridiculous damage from those. This makes it pointless to directly beat up the bosses. The overall boss designs are very mixed at best. Some of them you can easily expose their disadvantages to win.

Usually they like to make you defeat some of the previous bosses again. DMC2 easily the worst variation of the concept to date. In Dante's final boss just the first phase alone was amazingly bad!!! You gotta face this ugly ambition of the bosses. Don't worry it actually gets worst in a way you won't expect. Griffon from the original Devil May Cry game appears in this.

Despite not appearing anywhere else in the game. I also gotta mention Phantom whose this giant demonic scorpion spider. Originally, Phantom can speak while he doesn't at all in DMC2. Multiple boss health bars connected with higher difficulties being cheaper. Two or three bosses could attempt attacking you at one.

Simply depending where you're facing. If you're standing right behind a particular spot you'll have three of them. Otherwise standing in between em you just worry about two of them at once. The final form loves to change genders yes you heard correctly. Until I gotten into Hell's Paradise funny enough. I barely seen this concept done elsewhere.

On the flip side, Lucia faces her creator whose possessed partly by the same demon Dante facing. Yeah I know that's both weird as well as confusing right? Somehow parts of this demon possessing a corrupt businessman coughs Heihachi Mishima rip off. At the same time, Dante facing off against the actual demon.

Arius also has two forms Lucia has to defeat. Even a few military vehicles becomes possessed are some of the bosses. The way DMC2 goes about it's story you won't be caring for long. None of the actual story was written well or makes sense. Ideally, it's about a few characters trying to prevent a powerful demon coming back.

This has the most inconsistent level designs in an Devil May Cry game. Yes that would include DmC reboot game as well. Some puzzles especially hitting switches are very low on time to pull off. You do get to see areas across two playable characters to fully see the game. Personally unlock Trish whose an awesome skin cosmetic in the game.

Trish can be played in both their campaigns. Which I highly recommend playing as her in Lucia's campaign. Some of the boss fights will test your patience like Trismagia. Three demonic heads that can come together as well as separate. They each represent a particular element making this. Strangely like facing the Robot Masters in Mega Man classic series or the Mavericks in Mega Man X series.

This boss constantly switching between lightning, ice & fire respectively. There's a boss fight from Devil May Cry 3 I prefer way more than this. Agni & Rudra being talking elemental swords. Which you can equip as Dante in that Devil May Cry game. As for the overall outfits selection it's alright. An handful of them were licensed by a real clothing line.

Devil May Cry 2 doesn't even have decent sound effects. Usually when you play an Devil May Cry game. You wanna listen to the sick soundtracks these games have. I can't recommend DMC2's soundtrack though. To be fair, DMC2 did introduce some cool stuff. Which became essential in newer Devil May Cry games.

Unlike the original Devil May Cry game, your save can now maintain process. While being allowed to swap difficulties. Bloody Palace mode may not been done well here. Eventually this became a popular mode within the franchise. If it wasn't obvious already DMC2 really doesn't like an DMC game at all!!! Thankfully it always was intended to be one.

Not sorry Ghoul Patrol moving on, Devil May Cry 2 somehow failed to improve over the original. Even DmC had more in depth game play. Notably better designed levels in comparison. Vergil has his own DLC campaign that's still better than these campaigns!!! The overall outfits in that was notably better. The fact DMC3 to DMC5's special edition nailed majority what DMC2 tried to do with two discs!!!

DMC2 quickly make you sick of every location you get to explore. Even the harder difficulties felt notably easier than in most Devil May Cry games. Especially when either you get loss or force to back track. DMC2 doesn't come off like a rushed game. It's more accurate to compare this to Earthworm Jim 3D.

Both these teams really didn't understand their respective franchises. Still remaining as their respective worst video games to date. What made Devil May Cry 1 so great was more notable in depth game play. The overall level designs were notably way better. Some truly rememberable boss fights especially Mundus.

Even with it's reduced screen ratio in either version of Devil May Cry HD Collection. I also gotta say the regular enemies were either annoying or amazingly boring. Honestly, you aren't missing much by not playing this entry. Especially when most of these games are way better in comparison.

Prior to Devil May Cry 4, this used to be the most recent entry. Capcom was weird not making a sequel to some of their games for a long time. Now along with DMC5, the two most recent entries are fantastic video games. DMC2 forever became sandwich by it's own franchise. DMC2 doesn't bring anything outstanding to the table.

In fact, what did it bring was much unneeded frustration. The difficulty itself is largely not balanced at all. Beginners going to likely struggle unless they played other DMC games. Most veterans played it for a few minutes then went to go play something better. You seriously won't gain anything by beating both these campaigns.

I'll be more direct I even commented on a now taken down GOG Wishlist page on DMC HD Collection. DMC2 would only get onto their service through the collection. Otherwise by itself that's never going to happen. Considering the collection has a few sections. Like viewing awesome pictures or listening to the soundtracks.

In a way, you could in theory find some enjoyment of DMC2. Simply doing those instead of playing the actual game lol. Devil May Cry 2 is a game that doesn't work at all!!! Indirectly because it's done so bad, the newer entries are constantly way better. Load times is among the best aspects when it shouldn't even be in the first place for this franchise.

DMC2 felt like they literately picked several ideas right out an hat. Thankfully you can replay levels to get enough in game currency to stock up on stuff. Which wasn't something you could do in the original Devil May Cry game. Some levels can be either quite short or a little too long at best.

Going back to getting lost within the levels. Yes there's swimming in this game it sucks. I surprisingly liked how the original Devil May Cry pulled that off. They even force you to face a boss underwater. You won't have much to go on when you get lost either. You can't knock back most boss enemies. DMC2 doesn't know what it actually is?

There's a cool trick with devil trigger for Bloody Palace mode. It does involve changing your settings to a different region. Then you got to correct enter in a cheat code. If you done it right your devil trigger in that mode never run out. Virtually guarantee you to grind all the way up to 9,999 floors. Although there's no true ending making it'll loop endless.

Devil May Cry 2 being left out the HD Collection would've made it even better!!! Honestly, I really can't recommend playing this Devil May Cry game. There's too many problems that makes trying to play it once quite an challenge. In fact, not playing it at all is easily the greatest thing you could do. Yes this is even worst than Resident Evil 6 and Dead Rising 4 combined.

Yes it Really is That Bad?

My thoughts on The House of the Dead movie

To clarify I'm not here to talk about the previous movies based on The House of the Dead game series.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I figured eventually I had to say something about this. Paul W. S. Anderson going to direct the upcoming movie based The House of the Dead series. He was one of the first directors famous making movies based on video games. Actually the first one to gotten success with the original live action Mortal Kombat movie.

Personally he did a decent job with that MK movie. He started out fine with the original Resident Evil movie. Then the movies kept getting worst as they went on. He later gotten to direct a movie based on Monster Hunter series. Which is also among the highest grossing Capcom game franchises to date.

I still haven't seen that movie in question. I do know his wife Milla Jovoich in majority of these movies. Assuming she could also be in this upcoming The House of the Dead movie. I'm already worried since he ruined Resident Evil in a way. Most live action RE stuff wasn't great. I'm still quite blown away by this live action RE short film for RE9 truly done amazingly well!!!

There isn't much to go on about this movie. Other than he's chosen to adapt The House of the Dead 3 into a movie. I could excuse Return to Silent Hill movie being based on Silent Hill 2. Considering that was it's own thing from some of the connected SH games. This is a direct sequel to The House of the Dead game.

Let's be honest, Sega didn't think things through when writing the stories for this franchise. The House of the Dead 2 had some connections to the original entry. Agent G from that game shows up earlier into the game. Magician whose the final boss of the original game shows up as one of the final bosses. Keep in mind, the game doesn't even explain how Magician came back.

Keep in mind, I haven't gotten why this was such a weird move yet. I actually played a lot of The House of the Dead 3. One of the playable characters was Agent G. The other playable character was Thomas' daughter Lisa. The main scientist was Dr. Curien's son Daniel. Oddly enough somehow his father became The Wheel of Fate.

This also weird because the previous movies in the franchises were more of their own thing. At least the original director, Uwe Boll isn't involved. We're already starting off a few incidents in. I hope the new director doesn't go backwards with the following movie. Based on The House of the Dead 2 to make things even more confusing!!!

Anderson is used to directing as well as a writer for zombie movies based on video games. But Resident Evil was more complex than The House of the Dead. I can't even begin to imagine how bad things could possibly be following this movie regardless of it's reputation. There's two major things I really don't wanna see.

1. This needs to be less Resident Evil as possible

2. We don't want a full movie recreation of playing the Arcade games

I highly doubt his movie going to do worst than Uwe Boll's. A movie so bad I really would love to punch em or two that director. Right now he has to attempt making it better than House of the Dead 2 movie. Recently his game movies been bombing. Obviously he's gotten lucky with Mortal Kombat. Thankfully he wasn't involved with it's sequel.

Now I would be fine if one scene recreated the style of those classic horror games. Like the original Doom movie previously done. We should get some flash backs just like the game it's based on. I do think it needs to be a fast pace zombie movie. At the same time, he needs to somehow make this his own with everything working against him.

I also hope Sega doesn't directly cameo. I'm more fine if the director makes references to the game company. I'm also hoping some of the boss monsters shows up in the movie. Death was like several enemies within Resident Evil franchise. I'm hoping the story actually written better than the actual game.

The other huge issue is any Arcade entry notably short. Which was perfect for rail shooters at the time. But some people must've wondered. How do you transform an game you could beat within an hour into a movie? Sure there's a few possible gap the director could work with. I also gotta point out unlike the first two games.

Your default weapon in The House of the Dead 3 is an shotgun. Now how many zombie movies has shotguns? Way too many if you asked me!!! Anderson might need to get a little creative. I'm hopefully Sega doesn't give him too much freedom coughs Resident Evil movie franchise. I do want a movie that's somewhat higher quality compared to the previous two movies.

I'm not asking for a blockbuster by any means. Just don't want this movie to look worst despite a notably higher budget. Especially people with little to no money could easily out do that hard work in videos. Honestly, I'm not expecting references to The Typing of the Dead series. Which were more type in words to phases instead of firing your guns style game play.

Although if they could figure such an awesome way to reference that I'll be up for that. I also would like to see as much of the stages as possible. Not every single room just enough of them to feel like the game. I also worry the director might make the next one assuming there might be. Based on The House of the Dead 4 further confusing people.

It's already weird Anderson started with the third game. Instead of the original entry for his upcoming movie. The House of the Dead 4 acts like a direct sequel to The House of the Dead 2. Either direction with a follow up going to confuse people especially huge fans of the series. I do see plenty of signs how he could ruin it badly.

Out of respect since it's Sega not Capcom this time. I will give him one chance no more or less though. I always wanted a decent horror movie on this franchise for a long time. Maybe it's good enough for people to forget about The House of the Dead 2 Remake lol. For the present, Anderson is in rather tricky waters with virtually no safe ground to land on.

My thoughts on Agent 64's playtest

Special thanks to Replicant D6

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, despite being a little busier than normal this month. I was lucky enough to take part in Agent 64's playtest. You have to request hopefully you get in. Thankfully I checked my emails to saw the confirmation I can give it a try. I knew about Agent 64 for a couple years now.

I grew up with GoldenEye, still among the finest licensed movie games I ever played!!! An friend introduced me to Perfect Dark on the same console. At one point, I played a little of Timesplitters 2 to a degree. Agent 64 is heavily inspired by those amazing FPS games. Each difficulty determines how many objectives you got to complete.

The playtest started on it's multiplayer portion. Right now it's a little limited but nearly close to how much GoldenEye offers. I had to increase my mouse movement for superior accuracy. Late into the playtest, a few single player missions became available. I played through all those missions by myself. The difficulty is what you expect from those games.

The controls you can customize. Personally I felt the default controls works well enough. The actual look of the game was amazing!!! The audio was very on par with those games. I absolutely loved an easter egg of an Nintendo 64 style game console. This felt like a good mix of these games or more directly a particular mod I haven't played.

GoldenEye was recreated within Perfect Dark mod. Like Perfect Dark, you can add bots in the multiplayer modes. You also can customize em to a degree. For me, this was quite nostalgia of that era I missed so much. Still one of my favorite FPS styles. Agent 64 I felt nailed everything perfectly. I don't think they need to do much.

If anything I do have some possible suggestions to make the game just a little better. It's actually decent enough to do well if it were to come out now on Steam. But of course I wanted to give out some ideas to improve the overall experience. Perfect Dark had a feature allowing you to create your own multiplayer modes.

It would be awesome if Agent 64 had it's own variation of a custom difficulty as well. A level editor could go a long way within the community. They get to make their own missions everyone on Steam could give a try. I also would like some form of interactivity like in Perfect Dark for it's main menu. Which was mind blowing they pulled off that.

I also think some might enjoy randomizer objectives. Which could work if it's done right. Imagine the same missions but the actual objectives. Obviously must be possible to complete could be randomize. For example, instead of gaining access to a location. You might now be searching to eliminate a target or blow up that location.

Why stop there right when we also could randomize weapons the enemies could be using too? Just imagine an easy mission suddenly made difficult with enemies having weapons. Like rocket launchers that might kill you in one hit if you aren't careful. The element of surprise further test your adaptability to situations.

You could just picked up armor a few minutes ago. Possibly get attacked by a weapon that instantly took it all with some of your health. No one wants this game to be incredibly easy. In fact, those going to play for a lot of hours expects to be challenged. This feature could either make or break those players.

I know that's sounds quite ambitious. But these games were ambitious to begin with. I do think they are going into the right direction. Agent 64 should be a huge hit when it comes to Steam. Outside indie developers, not many mainstream ones knows how to make decent FPS games. For me, it's a nice surprise Agent 64 coming out in the near future.

Let's be honest, the world wasn't done with this style FPS games. It just simply disappeared without a trace. Yes I'm also aware of TimeSplitters Rewind. I also tried out a couple missions in that. I'm feeling both of these going to change the world!!! For the present, I really want Agent 64 to bring back the much needed nostalgia.

Agent 64 is going to be the next GoldenEye/Perfect Dark. Not only that, some of the finest FPS games I ever played were by indie developers. You can't blame my standards being this high for the game. I do think Agent 64 going to be given the care it needs to be a truly amazing FPS game. Honestly, I would love people to really enjoy this FPS game soon.
