OH MY GOD THEY DO EXIST!

I really like the isometric style platformer that they're going for even if it is a bit blockier than what I was expecting. I really do hope they capitalize on the platforming a bit more than MS1 but this game feels like a logical next step in the series without compromising too many of the core mechanics that made us love the first one.

Takebacker Wrote:Speaking of the platforming, am i the only one that dislikes the forced jump every time you move from one block to another that isn't on the same plane? Is it really so hard to just have the character fall? It just makes it feel so much slower than it could be especially in the case of the second segment where you have those blocks moving up and down for the bridge. The dash doesn't really help either...

Spiral Wrote:Don't know how I really feel about MS2. I'm definitely intrigued but I'd hate to say them eliminate MS1. At first I was hesitant when seeing screen shots of the Legoesque blocks on maps but it actually looks okay with the gameplay video. Still, I'm going to miss all the artwork that make MS1 so appealing and wish they would have incorporated some of that at least in the background. It's clear where they want to head with this and it looks more like a console game than a computer game (a la Sunshine Mario or whatever it was called for the Wii).

Spiral Wrote:As far as the free2play video - some good pomegranate right there. Nexon could do with hiring those guys.

Polantaris Wrote:As an FYI, you're thinking of Mario Galaxy.

Polantaris Wrote:The reason why I initially didn't even respond to the free2play video myself is that no matter how good of an idea it is, I doubt any current company that is doing it wrong is going to just change their ways because some random guys (regardless of popularity) made a decent point on a video (if the company even saw it as a decent point).

We can hope aspiring developers see it and think it's a good point, but really that's about it.

Coogi Wrote:Maybe this is why they scrapped BlockParty, it's gonna be for MapleStory 2. I only say because of the word "block" though lol.
