Re: [Audyssey] learning to play rock band as a blind gamer.
I meant putting my own twist on songs while playing the real thing, not rock band. lol. But I like what they're doing and hope they continue to expand... and just release update patches for songs rather than demanding people to buy them again from the get go. At 10:38 AM 17/05/2011, you wrote: Clement, I don't think putting your own twist on songs would be very practical. firstly because this is supposed to be a learning tool. which means non-guitarist will probably mess something up pretty badly and think they're putting their own twist on it and wonder why the game wasn't taking it. haha. another reason is I'd imagine there would be a ton of options for what people can do. there's no way that current engine could do that. Harmonix did say they wanted to completely blur the line between real musicians and gamers, and they are planning on adding improvisation and the like to rock band 4. who knows if it'll ever happen or not, but they did say it would be a huge undertaking. thing is the engine they create will need to be compatible with old content all the way back from rock band 1 era. imagine if people with over 2000 songs in their libraries were told that content was no longer playable in newer iterations of the game? people are already having a fit because legacy DLC can't be upgraded with keys and the like and they have to buy that DLC again. and that's only for a few songs that have it. ----- Original Message - From: "Clement Chou" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] learning to play rock band as a blind gamer.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas
That's what Nintendo consoles are good for. Actually, a wii would cover both your needs... the virtual consoles have games from the last 30 some odd years as well as a lot of family-orientated games. That's where the problem lies... if you want some m or t rated games for yourself, the wii will be very lacking in those departments, whereas the majority of Sony and microsoft console-supported games are all m and t rated. lol. At 09:33 AM 11/05/2011, you wrote: Hi Clement, Yeah, that's true. There have been a number of new side-scrollers coming out of late. I think a lot of it has to do wwith the nostalgia factor of these games. For instance, I myself use to play Megaman etc rather heavily until I lost my vision. Now, that I'm older, a parent, etc I'd love to pass on those same kinds of games to my kids. When I go out and buy a PS III or an XBox 360 I want to have games equal to what I played on my NES or Super NES back in the day as well as any new games that came out. These remakes and new side-scrollers help bridge that gap. Not only that we need a wider variety of family friendly games. I've noticed a trend towards teen and mature rated games which are fine for people in those age groups, but my son is only 6. I like to find games more age appropriate for him. Somethinglike Megaman is more age appropriate for him than Grand Theft Auto or MK 9 in my opinion. Cheers! On 5/10/11, Clement Chou wrote: > Fair enough.

This is another fun game, but there seems to be a bit of a glitch... there'll come one point during the first level or the second one where an enemy will be on the screen, but you won't be able to shoot it. Dunno why that is... but there you go. Also, does someone happen to know where this game's music is from, those who have played it? Because I know this music... from either a game or a movie, and that's going to eat away at me until I find out. lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas
Fair enough. FPS it is... and any help I fcan give will be offered. Although, oddly enough, with the stream of games sony and mirosoft have started releasing via downloads for the ps3 and xbox360 through use of their separate online stores, it's surprising to see how many side scrollers are coming back. Bionic commando and final fight have been remade, though final fight only has redone graphics and remixed music... bionic commando is a complete remake of the original. Then other games like Castle quest, Shank, Invincible tiger... and all the newer megaman games, of course. These are all side scrollers... and I think, like fighting games, they're making a comeback. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas
Your point about moving forward instead of sticking to tradition makes sense. I dunno... maybe I just miss old beat em ups. I'd love to see a modern game with all the chracteristics of final fight and streets of Rage. Those were good times. As to darth bane, I put a lot of time into reading those books... and if you made one game that spread over the period of path of destruction as well as rule of two, you would have somewhat more enemy variety. And this could also be a way to progres... since if you remember, Darth Bane was a kid on a mining planet who routinely got himself into trouble. Then he escaped, joined a group of sith troopers who were soldiers for the sith army, and then finally moved up to the academy... and grew to be darth bane despite the fact that by that time the academy had abandoned the use of the darth title. The first book climaxes with the Jedi and Sith battling on a remote planet and the sith committing basically suicide and taking the Jedi with them. Bane is the only one left... and thus begins his rule of two. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas
In contrast, if I had to choose, I would prefer 3d... if nothing else because it is harder and much more of a challenge to play, and because that brings us one more step to the modern-day mainstream market instead of the arcade shooter and side-scrolling market which was popular... more than 15 years ago. Granted there are still those games made, just... not as many as were made back in the day. At 03:03 AM 10/05/2011, you wrote: Personally, I still like the game based on revenge of the sith.

First, the legal issues. Since Lucas Arts and its parent company Lucasfilm LTD didn't exactly give me the go ahead on any Star Wars projects that means whatever USA Games does regarding Star Wars will most likely have to be open source and published as fan fiction in order to minimize any legal entanglements with Lucasfilm over licensing. This doesn't mean we can't proceed with a Star Wars project it just means we'll have to produce the game without a lot of financial backing. As I've got plenty of sound effects, music, and can probably find free help to do voice acting if needed this might not be a big issue. Second, issue I've been thinking about is what time period or era to set the game in. This is, for me at least, a tough decision as currently there is now more than 5,000 years of history and lore set down in the Star Wars books and comics ranging from the Great Hyperspace War between the original Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic all the way up to the Legacy era set some 40 years after the battle of Endore. In each era there are historic champions and super villains of note. As for myself personally I am leaning against anything involving anyone from the original Star Wars books and movies such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, etc simply because there is so much written about them it is getting to be, for me at least, the same old thing different book/movie. Diddo for the Clone Wars that has so much cannon and history its hard to create new and original stories that don't involve some idea already used in a comic, book, or the movies. Still I'm not totally against creating a game in one of these eras I just feel its too common place and way over used so to speak. Recently the Star Wars authors have began documenting events that happened thousands of years before Star Wars A New Hope which is sort of interesting seeing the Republic as it was thousands of years before the Clone Wars etc happened. For example, two new books such as Fatal Alliance and Deceived have started documenting events during the Great Galactic War about 3,681 to 3,653 years before Star Wars A New Hope, and it picks up where the Knights of the Old Republic series left off. There is even a MMO/RPG being produced by Bioware called Star Wars The Old Republic that features this 30 year war between the Jedi and Sith. Its something I think I could base a game on myself and have plenty of room to be creative and use creative license without stepping on official cannon all over the place. Finally, there is the style or type of format I could use for this game. There are pros and cons for each style or format. Which makes it hard to decide. Side-Scroller---Obviously this would be a 2d type game with the ability to move left, right, up, and down throughout the game world. Since I think we all know what side-scrollers are by now no more explanation need be made about what they are. The obvious advantage to side-scrollers is they are, for a blind player, easier to navigate. There are only four directions of movement to figure out, and sounds are panned left or right in the stereo field. This makes them ideal in terms of accessibility. All the same accessible or not side-scrollers are stuck in a 2d only environment. This prevents both the game developer and player from taking advantage of certain features other formats have to offer. For instance, there are various combat maneuvers, moves, etc that require a full 3d environment to acomplish. As someone who has played something like Jedi Knight and so on in a 3D First-Person format side-scrollers seem like, well, like a ccrippled game as you couldn't do half the things you could in a true 3d environment. Just the fact you are restricted to left, right, up and down is to my thinking pretty limiting when I'm use to full motion and movement in typical Star Wars games. Therefore I wo
Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas
Fair enough. And that was no more than that, a suggestion. While I would've liked a tomb Raider-esc experience, I'm more than happy with what we're getting... side scrollers and 3d games are both styles I happen to enjoy. I just suggested a beat em up because it would be easy to start. as to timeline... there's another era I was wondering about, though this probably coincides with the old republic series. Have you ever thought about writing a game based around Darth Bane? From when he was a minor on a backwater planet to the sith academy or coriban? That would be cool, too. And just to clarify in case it didn't come across, when I said start small and think bigger I meant with each game. I didn't mean make a beat em up and then a 3d version of that same game... far from it. I understand how much that can take out of someone... just thinking about the different programming and planning required makes my head spin. But if you were to say make separate serieses based off different eras, in the longterm? Start simple, and then when you move to a different timeline and a different series of game, increase the scope. That, in my personal opinion, gives you more options for a longer-lasting series of games. But just my thoughts, as usual. At 06:22 AM 10/05/2011, you wrote: Hi Clement, While I agree a game based on the Yuuzan Vong war would be cool I don't believe I could come up with any sounds that would fit. Its one thing to read about organic weapons etc in a book and quite another to invent sound effects from scratch to try and emulate what the books describe. Besides as I said I'm personally getting just a bit tired of the main characters. I grew up with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia, and they have been the main focus for over 30 years. I'm finding the Old Republic series etc a nice refresh from all that because there are all new characters and situations available to read and write about that take place thousands of years before Luke, Han, Leia, etc were born. I think this apeals to my historian side. I like exploring what life might have been like thousands and thousands of years before the modern era. As far as your suggestion goes basically what you are saying is start small and think bigger. That makes sense, but it also has to be something I have to be happy with too. Something I'll commit too for the long hall. For instance, I've never been completely happy with MOTA. Its not a bad game, but my principle complaint is it wasn't written the way I wanted it to be written. I wanted a full blown FPS like Tomb Raider not a side-scroller. As a result of this I'm now having to split my time between writing the side-scroller the community wants and the FPS that I want. Its taking a lot out of me physically, emotionally, and financially and you can see it has been a month-and-a-half since beta 18 just because I'm spending time with essentually two games instead of one. I'll never ever do it again for anyone. From now on I'll decide on a single format and run with it when it comes to game projects. Basically, what I'm saying is I'll certainly listen to suggestions etc, but in the end I'll be making the final calls on format etc. I'm just finding out where the lists interests are right now. Which styles etc people would prefer before I start into this projectin the future. On 5/9/11, Clement Chou wrote: > Honestly, I'd like to see this grow.

Re: [Audyssey] Apollo 13 - Re: Apollo - Re: Space sims?
There are certain areas in history that are interesting. I find European and Asian history much more interesting than, say, Canadian history. There just isn't anything interesting about the history of this country... it's all trading and politics, and especially the way it's presented in textbooks is ridiculous. I love history... always have. But I prefer European and Asian history, especially in the areas of mythology, military and weapons.

Besides the fact this kid was young, hadn't had history yet, etc I've generally found that most people are really uneducated when it comes to history in general. I've found all too many times people said history was boring, they slept through class, and they don't really know anything about it other than a few facts here and there they picked up somewhere. Even then what history they do know, or think they know, usually is white washed facts that passes for history in our schools today. For instance, how many people were involved in the Lincoln assassanation? If you are like most people you will mention John Wilks Booth and forget everyone else involved in the plot to kill Lincoln. The real truth is there was several people involved directly with the Lincoln assassaination, and several cabinit members were attacked the same night as Lincoln. John Wilks Booth was killed while trying to escape, but several other members of the conspiracy were rounded up and put on trial. In the end four people were hanged for conspiracy, and four others were sent to prison. For some reason this part of the Lincoln assassination is rarely discussed. Its not even in the school books. Yet that is what really happened and is a matter of public record if anyone wants to look into it further. Its cases like this that really disgust me about the American school system. The history books maybe have one or two pages dedicated to any specific person or event and skip over the deeper truths and history behind what happened. For most people that's enough. The day people graduate from high school they just stop studying history, and that is very sad because history is extremely interesting if presented correctly. The Apaulo 13 mission is a case in point of history that is very interesting and has books and movies written about it. There is really no excuse not to know about it.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day
Nope... Obi-Wan physically chopped them off himself. And it might be different in the movie, but in the book it's Anakin's left arm which obi-wan slices through. So I was wrong... he still had one limb left. Here's the passage from the novel: Obi-Wan turned his dive into a forward roll that left him barely teetering on the rim of a low cliff, just above the soft black sand of the riverbank. Anakin snarled a curse as he realized he'd been suckered, and leapt off his droid at Obi-Wan's back- Half a second too slow. Obi-Wan's whirl to parry didn't meet Anakin's blade. It met his knee. Then his other knee. And while Anakin was still in the air, burned-off lower legs only starting their topple down the cliff, Obi-Wan's recovery to guard brought his blade through Anakin's left arm above the elbow. He stepped back as Anakin fell. Anakin dropped his lightsaber, clawing at the edge of the cliff with his mechanical hand, but his grip was too powerful for the lava bank and it crumbled, and he slid down onto the black sand. His severed legs and his severed arm rolled into the lava below him and burned to ash in sudden bursts of scarlet flame.

Not just the original A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi but the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight radio series as well. You are right though the ending of the ROTJ radio version is pretty cool. Too bad it wasn't in the movies. Anyway, you've got a point about the age thing. Luke was 40 or 50's when the war with the Vong broke out and at least in his 50's when the Legacy series takes place. He definitely could have mopped the floor with Jason if he wanted too. Let's not forget Mara, who was in her early 50's as well, gave Jason one heck of a battle too. She probably could have won, but I think she wasn't fully committed to the idea this was a fight to the death and didn't want to really kill Jason but turn him back to the light. Big mistake for her since she ended up getting killed instead. In any case the authors decided to go for full drama by having Jaina, his twin sister, finish him off instead of Luke, Mara, or any of the Jedi masters from the New Jedi Order. One wonders what a battle between Kip and Jason would have been like. On 5/7/11, Clement Chou wrote: Pretty good analysis there. grins.

There was a touch in the radio drama of Return of the Jedi that I liked, not sure if you've listened to it. At the end of the whole thing when Palpatine is blasting Luke with lightning, Vader leaps up and cries, "My Son!" Palpatine then commands Vader to put him down, to which Vader replies, "I will. Down the core shaft... down to your death!" Palpatine than says, "Vader! I am your master!" And the last thing Vader says before throwing him down the shaft is, "Darth Vader's master.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?
I was about to say this... with the difference being that sports games aren't generally my thing. Action games give me much more of a thrill to play. And a lot of the better action games such as the Lord of the Rings games on the ps2 require a lot of running around. The objective is to kill everything on the level... but on a large battlefield it's a lot harder to find enemies quickly without sight. Nevertheless, it's still fun to play... and as tom said, it's worth it sometimes to get such a great game despite the patience it takes to play it.

Kip and Jason. Now that I would've liked to hear about... I love the way troy Dennings writes his star wars battles... the detail and amount of action he squeezes in is great.

At 04:55 PM 07/05/2011, you wrote: Hi, Maybe. Its more likely that Obi-Wan was just to old to fight as effectively as he did in Revenge of the Sith. Remember 19 years had passed between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars A New Hope. Obi-Wan looked to be in his 60's or 70's by the time he met Vader again, and he was probably physically weaker and slower than Vader, or he chose to let himself get killed for reason x. Plus by the time A New Hope had come along Anakin had fully become Darth Vader and probably had learned a lot more about the dark side of the force than he did 19 years previously. If you ask me the reason Luke Skywalker managed to fight and eventually defeat Vader had nothing to do with skills or powers, but Vader's emotional weakness. Say what you will about Darth Vader he had really and truly loved Padme. That made him unable to kill his only son, and his daughter as well. That emotional bond, although distant, was enough to make him hold back and not fight as effectively as he perhaps could have. As it turns out in Return of the Jedi when Palpatine is trying to kill Luke it was Darth Vader who grabs Palpatine by the throat and tosses him into the reactor core. Apparently Vader's love for his son was greater than the dark side and any loyalty he had to Palpatine. It is apparent as early as Empire Strikes Back that Anakin, Darth Vader, secretly hated Palpatine. In Revenge of the Sith, of course, we find out why. Palpatine told Anakin if he turned to the dark side that he'd insure Padme didn't die, but of course she does die and Anakin goes into emotional melt down. Finding out that he had two children who were alive and well went a long way to bring Anakin back from the dark side and why he turned on Palpatine and threw him head long into the Deathstar's reactor core.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day
I'm not so sure it was reflexes that he had. It was simply that he moved so fast that most Jedi had to play defensive until they found a whole... that, and the amount of jedi he killed gave him a catelogue of styles to choose from, so he knew how Jedi fought and defended various moves. But he was nowhere as fast as a jedi... whose reflexes almost border on anticipation rather than reacting to a situation.

The reason he let himself get cut down wasn't because Vader outsmarted him or had more teaching from palpatine.

Lucky I fixed it before we began landing. At 03:20 PM 07/05/2011, you wrote: Hi Ron, Why couldn't we do a Shuttle launch? I have a friend who went to Space Camp one year and she ended up being Shuttle Commander. They even let her try as Shuttle pilot in the simulator which was cool. I think with the right accessibility aids flying a space shuttle is no different than any other aircraft. You just have to make sure to get the angles right when taking off and landing or you will turn into a fireball. Anyway, I would love a space shuttle simulator. I've always wanted to fly one of the shuttles and it shouldn't be that hard to create. Just need to get the right kind of actors to do for the communications between the flight crew and NASA.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?
You just mentioned pretty much everyone who is into mainstream games. lol. All of us play certain games that are not fully playable... as an example, fighting games are not the only games I do play. If an action adventure has some playability to it, I'll play it and see how far I manage to get. You'd be surprised how much fun wandering around and fighting off enemies can do... and what it can lead to. grins.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?
If all you want to do is navigate a vehicle, flight simulator is always a good choice... but a space sim without shooting is like a dry orange.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day
I haven't read that series yet... but thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely check it out. And I'm not surprised noone could come close to matching Vader... though Obi-Wan beating him would've been something to see in episode 4. At 10:55 AM 07/05/2011, you wrote: Hi Clement, Could be. Have you read the Jedi Twilight saga that follows Dark Lord? The reason I ask is while the clones not following Order 66 does seem like an isolated event other Jedis managed to escape the slaughter, and cause a lot of trouble before Darth Vader hunted them down and finished them off. Unfortunately, for them none of them were in Darth Vader's class, and Anakin had always been usually strong and powerful in the Force. No one until Luke Skywalker came along was able to stand up to him, and give him a good fight.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day
My only real question was Grevous... Ventris I kind of guessed would fit into that category. lol. But I guess with how well he knows his swordplay... he definitely qualify. And it could be argued though that he doesn't have the force, the combat programming he has is enough to match the force as you're right, he did give a lot of jedi a hard time.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day
Actually, the empire and republic are considered two completely different entities... because of how the system was run. The clones were programmed to obey whoever was in charge of the empire as that plan was apparently in place long before the clones were thouht of as a military resource. This is shown in Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine issues "order 66" and the clone commander responds, "It will be done, my lord." At least to me, this implies that the knowledge of who they're working for has already been programmed into their subconscious and was waiting for that trigger. Until then they were all-too-happy to serve the republic and obey the Jedi, since many of the squads have Jedi leading them. For anyone who doesn't know about order 66... this was the order to begin the "jedi perge." All the clone commanders turned on the Jedi who were leading them, including Obi Wan... who was the only one who managed to escape from them. Well, there are a couple more I can think of, but the empire eventually caught up with them.. and the Jedi perge was also happening on Coruscant, as Anakin Skywalker, who was by then known as Darth Vader, had already turned to the Dark Side and personally slaughtered all the Jedi in the Temple.

Re: [Audyssey] The importance of patronage
It's not just people in the UK... in Canada, it can be a lot of the same.. it all depends on what kind of system you get put in. We only have one school for the blind in Canada... and a lot of the people I've sceen come out of that are some of the cockiest and most stuck up people... and social skills? Don't even get me started. All I can say is I'm glad I went to regular high school, as the school for the blind is across the country from me, in Ontario. Oddly enough though, blind people who are raised in Asian families tend to be the exact opposite. We're raised to think nothing of ourselves and because the Asian belief is that anyone with any sort of disability is basically helpless, a lot of blind people or people with other disabilities tend to adopt that view. Everything is done for us, and we get almost no say in anything... I'm glad I broke that mold. lol. My family still can't accept that I can do so many of the things I do... taking buses, cooking, you name it. It's pretty ridiculous... luckily the majority of the blind people I deal with don't exhibit any of the attitude and characteristics that you mentioned. At 07:11 AM 28/04/2011, you wrote: Hi Tom. well I must confess I don't associate particularly with younger blind people in this country other than some I've met through this list or online precisely because they can become extremely cleaquey, have lacking or none existant social skills, fail to do things for themselves and regard anyone outside their group with suspicion. For instance I know somebody who flat out was amazed at the idea of me making coffee "without!" a liquid level indicator, sinse the indicator won't fit on the cafetieir I don't particularly have a choice, and when I mentioned how fond I was of my George forman they nearly went into fits at the idea of a blind person using something so dangerous! I'll admit that I have something of a prejudice against this sort of blind! people myself, which actually comes from the two years I spent betwene 8 and 10 at a specialist school which was positively victorian (my teacher was a dead ringer for prof umbridge in the harry potter series). the problem is this sort of thing can really cause problems with other people's atitudes. I was at the Aims music school a week ago which is a very high standard teaching course for professional and semi professional singers. i went last august so I now know people relatively well. The odd thing is I did notice a bit of distance in some people's atitudes and this time I found out why. Apparently they had two blind girls attend previously who one of the ladies in charge described as "dire!" they for instance complained bitterly at nont having an en sweet bathroom when in fact none of the rooms do, and when in fact the organizer had given them a room slap bang next to the bathroom. She described them as tremendously rude, complaining if stuff wasn't done for them, yet getting very unpleasant if people offered to help with anything. Then though she did note that sinse I was at university and had (she worked out), been to a "normal" school she assumed I was different. I will confess this is the reason that outside this list and people I meet related to games, I actually don't have much to do with other blind people in the uk, sinse I always find myself feeling irritated at some of the atitudes involved. Interestingly enough, my mum went through the specialist system and out the other side. she was told for instance in the 70's, when she finished school and was looking at university "typing, telephony or physio therapy" that's why even though i attended a specialist school for two years I wasn't a full time boarder there, and also why I've probably grown up with a rather different atitude to some other people who have hereditory site conditions. Also why I've ended up working on disability as my main research interest. Beware the grue!

Naturally you would also be able to play against the computer on many difficulty levels, but the main atraction of the game would be that you could play online. I would use some techniques to bypass firewalls so that even people behind routers could connect to one another, and the game would most definitely use human speech. Would this be something that you might consider purchasing if it sold for something like 10 dollars? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

[Audyssey] another recording of story mode
Slightly longer... and more cutsceens this time. Note that the filename might be misleading... this game does not let you choose who you play during story mode. Rather you watch the cutsceens and play as a certain character during the fight, whatever the story decrees. This is why I have ah ard time with the fights in here... because Kitana is not someone I used all that much when I got the game. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394499/mortal%20kombat%20story%20mode%20as%20kitana.mp3 --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] story mode recording
Well, the thing is, it's not that it isn't dark. The game itself is pretty dark... just the cutsceens themselves aren't as dark as I'd like them.

[Audyssey] story mode recording
So... for all those who don't have the game yet, here is the story mode. A reviewer said it was like an interactive film, and it almost is that. By movie standards it would be pretty cheesy, but hey, that's what MK is best known for... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394499/mortal%20kombat%209%20story%20mode.mp3 Just a quick note. The story mode has a lot, lot more cutsceens than this recording shows... but I decided to record it on a split-second decision, so didn't get much. But when I get the chance, I'll do something more detailed. I'm still getting used to the system of this game... so the fight was a bit lopsided. Enjoy, all the same. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Well, I'm finding combos kinda hard to pull off... trying to launch opponents is easy enough, but trying to figure out combos to use is a bit complicated. But I'm getting there. The story mode, on the other hand, is impressive. I'm listening to it right now as we speak, playing it actually. But the cinematics are something to speak of... and a lot better than the last game. The voice acting is also much better than the MK Vs. DC as well. Shang Tsung sounds like a cheesy cartoon villin, but... it isn't that surprising.

[Audyssey] Mortal Kombat engine [was] Re: anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?
First off, Scott, are you on ps3 or xbox360? Just curious.. I don't think we ever touched on that particular subject. lol. But more to the point... While I agree with you for the most part, I also think x-rays are fun to pull off simply for the ouch-factor... nothing like pulling off that move and gcrining at the sounds. But that wasn't what I meant when I said broken. Broken, from a fighting game perspective means to be overpowered or exploitable to the point of imbalance. In this case, it's the fact that it's so easy to take off 40-50% life from your opponent. Some people argue that ultras from Street Fighter IV are the same, but 2 things trump that argument. One, is that your ultra meter only fills as you're taking damage, not if you're dealing it as opposed to the x-ray's meter filling both ways. True, you have to factor in super-specials and breakers, but it's ridiculously easy to build that meter back up. Second thing, is that you cannot, under any circumstances, combo or cancel into an ultra. There are no attacks in Street Fighter IV that let you cancel. Cancelling means, essentially, cutting off the end of one attack animation into another. So for example, Ryu can do a dragon punch and cancel that into his shinku hadouken super. This means that the dragon punch connects, but by cancelling the last bit of the animation for that move, you're hitting your opponent with the super while he's still in the air. Ultras cannot be made to do that. There are techniques for making sure your opponent gets hit, but you can't combo or directly cancel into an ultra. Only things like focus attacks, certain move situations, can let you connect an ultra with 100% certainty, and even then... it isn't so certain. If this is too confusing, let me know and if you want I can record a demo of what I'm talking about with my commentary over it. Problem with x-rays is, they can be cancelled into. So if you can pull off a long-enough combo to give you 30% damage, throw an x-ray into that with a cancel which basically makes it unavoidable by your opponent, and you're shaving off a good 70% damage, since x-rays themselves don't do more than 40-45% damage. Ultras don't even give you that much damage... if you can land it with a full meter, which gives you enough room to take about three to four more hits before you die, if that ultra connects, your opponent still has about 70% life left. So... it's not as much of an easy comeback. That and the fact that x-rays are mapped to simply tapping two buttons... has bugged a lot of people. Not me specifically, but a lot of people I know. Third and final thing... ultras in SFIV have huge recovery times. IF you miss an ultra... you can expect to get heavily, and I mean heavily punished. The recovery times on those is big enough to the point where you have about a second where you can't do anything.. and in SF, that's plenty of time for an opponent to dash in and nail you. X-rays have no recovery time... at least, no recovery time that's of any significance. So if your x-ray is blocked... no worries. For me, that takes away a lot of the strategy, as if you miss an x-ray, you don't get punished that much... And that is my definition of broken. Long-winded I know, but needed to get in all the details. From: Scott Chesworth To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?
Like I said, smooth isn't the problem... and I know it was an early build, which is ridiculous in my opinion... if they want the public to see how good this game is they should give us a more current release. Many of my friends have cancelled their preorders based off their impressions of the demo, regardless of what the team has said. And again, I'm looking forward to this game... but I won't be convinced until I get my hands on it and it plays as smoothly as the devs say, which I don't doubt.

Before I go any further, let me just state that any comments I make on this subject are purely for the sake of discussion... you're my friend and I have no desire to antagonize you by going against you. lol. The problem with judging distances, again, is that wind sound. You can't concretely judge how far it is from you by just listening for it.. unless you pinpoint the position of that sound in your headphones or speakers and memorize where it is. And in frantic fights, if you have enemies coming at you and your mind is bent on taking care of them first, you really don't have the option to stop and judge that sound while you're being pummelled. The problem with judging distances like they do in mainstream games is that, a sighted person can look at that pit and see how wide it is, whether they need a running jump or not. In audio games, you don't have that. Unless the dev programs the look command to tell you how wide the pit is, you have to guess. So some people would prefer warning sounds so they at least have a source to go on. I personally don't care either way. I played mainstream games for long periods of time before I even knew of audio games, so it doesn't really matter to me. I can cope with either. Target sounds for when enemies are in range is fair to me. Because why stand there mashing space until you hit something? Especially in this game, where the sound that is used to sound the attack is also the sound that signifies the hit. There is no difference between the two... unlike in mainstream games where you generally have a sound for the attack and a second sound for the hit, so if you miss an attack, that hit effect won't play. And fireballs are a different case from pits as you can stand still and wait for it to come to you... and there really is no appropriate time to duck

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next versionofbattlezone?
To be fair, Yohandy has a point... most gamers learn that way. The people who I mention who will not play a game until they've read a complete walkthrough are in the minority. And I agree with this point as well... part of the fun in the games is learning how to conquer something, whether it be a puzzle, a particular type of enemy, whatever.

Not if the cue is something as anonymous as a different sounding footstep. If you hear that in a mainstream game you aren't going to pause and think, woe... what kind of ground is this?

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?
While I sympathize, I also feel the need to point out that mainstream games, again, do give cues and warnings as well... all be it most of them are visual. And how do you judge pit distances? In most games, there's a wind sound to rely on Sure. But you have to realize that headphones make things sound different so there's no concrete way to measure distances simply by relying on that sound. And saying to a blind gamer just learn by falling in that pit is like telling a sighted gamer to figure out how to do supers and ultras in Street Fighter or any other game that has them. All those games have command lists for that one reason... so people can look at things for quick reference and get to the real meat of the game. Same thing here. If you spend all your time dying in pits, how are you going to beat the game with a high score? Even judging distance takes time, and that detracts from your time bonus. At 08:28 AM 06/04/2011, you wrote: It's definitely possible to judge distance in this game. so why would we need a warning to know if we're close to a pit? just fall in the pit a few dozen times and you'll eventually learn to jump. why must so many blind gamers insist everything is spoon-fed to them? I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but to the group as a whole. why do most blind gamers shy away from challenge? This isn't even a Battlezone issue specifically. whenever there's something a little challenging in a game, people are always trying to come up with compromises like insert beeping sounds, ways to get rid of that feature cause it's too hard, and so on. ----- Original Message - From: "Clement Chou" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 18 Released!
Ah. Thanks for confirming the information I had already... I mean that sincerely. I do agree though, I've had a lot of cases where I'll ask someone about a person from greek mythology with their latin name and they won't get it. Best part is, they know both names... they just never realize it's the same person. Jupiter... for example. Ask people what his greek name is... not a lot of people could tell you that. Then you ask them whether they know who Zuse is... and sure enough, they know who it is. They just don't realize it's the same god... --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

I'm assuming authenticity means in this case a latin name in a game that's supposed to be Greek, right? lol.

At the end of a level if say you were one step from the portal and a bonis item falls and you step forward without catching it it would play an extreamly anoying tone in your left ear, and you can't here your statis without getting a headake. 3. When you use a bomb can the 20 enimies that you kill just shut-up because there dead? When you use one the enimies are still talking they just don't do anything. 4.

I would be happy to do it... At 03:07 PM 04/04/2011, you wrote: Hey all, We are going to update battlezone here soon and are looking for suggestions. the ones we have come up with are 1. Make the game more realistic. Such as booby traps effect bolders by at-least slowing them down a bit, You can move while ducked, enimies can shoot you when your ducked and in the air, and when the blades are retracted you can jump without getting harmed. 2. At the end of a level if say you were one step from the portal and a bonis item falls and you step forward without catching it it would play an extreamly anoying tone in your left ear, and you can't here your statis without getting a headake. 3. When you use a bomb can the 20 enimies that you kill just shut-up because there dead? When you use one the enimies are still talking they just don't do anything. 4. Can you make it possible to set a booby trap for the cop cars and it will damage them but then the cops could get out and attack just like the other people? Please reply to all so that key is full will receeve them as well.

Re: [Audyssey] battle zone
Yeah... that one nails me too. But if it's beyond level 4, just buy a blade protector from the shop... better a few hundred points less than a headless body, in my opinion.

The longer you stand there, the lower your time bonus is... and it isn't the blades that are unbalanced, I think... I don't really care one way or another, I just turn the game on and blast through as much as I can. People don't like the fact that you can't jump over them, and they kill you in one slash. I don't like the fact that you can jump over them either... especially since obstacles can often come in groups that are hard if not impossible to avoid. The most basic one? The blade with a boulder right next to it. You can't jump over the blade, and by the time you walk past that blade the boulder is pretty much on top of you. That one can be avoided though.. just back off and wait for the boulder to come to you... but what if you have aboulder, blade and fireball all at once? I have sceen that happen. You can duck the fireball, sure... but by the time you get out of the crouch, wham... there's the boulder. And you can't jump over it... because if you do, the blade is right there to impale you.

Re: [Audyssey] battle zone
I think for a lot of us it isn't so much the fact that it's too hard... just balance issues we're all noticing. I've beaten the game once, so it isn't so much that I find it hard. Just little things I'm noticing that took me a long time to get past. lol.

I love a challenging game as well as the next person, maybe more so in some cases, but I really can't get into Battlezone for that exact reason. It is not merely challenging some feets are just down right impossible, and I think various things are overly unbalanced with the combat etc. I chuck most of this up to the inexperience of the game developer who has a lot to learn as far as balancing game play and challenge.

Re: [Audyssey] battle zone
The hilt was not what he was refering to. There are some blades, certain types of swords for example, that don't have edges from end to end. There are swords that have a foot or so of dull edge above the hilt, like the ming dao.

In mainstream games, if you so much as walk into one, you're dead. Not only that, but a lot of games have almost a straight line of obstacles like this, all activating at different times. This means you either have to try and time it right and find clear spaces between them, or backtrack and find another route. Although I would agree about the fact you can't jump over them... it shouldn't be a problem if they shoot out from the wall to have that second where the sound doesn't play to have no blade there and for the player to be able to jump clear. That way, especially if there's a boulder or something else waiting on the other side, you can leap over more than one thing at a time... battle zone is a fun game, but needs two things in my opinion... balance adjustments, and some real voice acting.

Re: [Audyssey] battle zone
I agree with this, actually. Blade protectors should work for more than just one set of blades... if you change the item itself and call it armour, it can take a certain amount of hits before wearing off. At 10:30 AM 03/04/2011, you wrote: Because the blade protector only works once. It might have been better to have it be timed so it might work for several sets of blades but would wear off eventually. That way you could still jump over that bolder that's coming at you right between the two blades. Because when you're trying to judge a jump to get over a boulder you're not necessarily going to also be thinking about hitting E to activate another blade protector.
