Space issues with a not very large digital game? I'm calling such 3BS.

 

[Water]

PC community is going to hate this if it runs at 30, which I'm assuming it does since it's sprite based

That makes no sense. If anything, sprite-based games should be expected to run at 60 since performance is typically not an issue.

Isn't Super Light Drifter said to run at 30 FPS locked or some such?

 

[Giever]

Otherwise they would've touted "improved performance" as a feature

Cool game though! Glad more folks can play it

There's a difference between the animations themselves having only so many frames and the game running at 30 fps, though. A lot of older sprite-based games ran at 60 fps. I mean... a lot.

 

[E_Darkness]

But does the Japanese voice mode come with the Japanese sprite design? I want that midriff dammit.

I'm glad this is coming out on Steam, I didn't want to play this on my 3DS.

Spoiler

Or couldn't because Europe

 

[KHlover]

Space Issue? Lol not even at launch with One Piece Unlimited Cruise 1/2 anyone bought that excuse for a second. I mean cmon, if you gonna lie in the customers' faces at least do some research on the lien you're going to tell.

 

[Gbraga]

Wait, what, this game is 30fps on 3DS?

Wait, isn't the game available in the european eshop?

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

It's been out for several months, yeah.

I meant that the original game was designed to be 30fps. Wouldn't they have to draw extra sprites to compensate for the extra frames? (I could be totally wrong here)

EDIT: I am

 

[Korigama]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

All of those excuses they made about cutting down the Japanese audio and story content while pretending it was ever necessary only annoy me even more now.

Wait, what, this game is 30fps on 3DS?

Yes.

 

[Jotamide]

Good for Inti. I enjoyed my time with the game. Question is: why had that scumbag promote your product, even if his involvement was minimal. Inti should know better than this.

EDIT: Just looked at the screens. Oh oh, they're just gonna have both upper and lower screen appearing simultaneously. Inb4 a shit port.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I think so.

Look at 1:18 again. You can customize it. It looks like you can have it all be on one screen if you want. I think it'd be neat if they were to add multi-monitor support so you could put a screen on each.

 

[Taco_Human]

Never beat it on 3ds. Couldn't get past the rising water level.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I hope we can fit everything in one screen, not a fan of both screens when the bottom one is just for the power stuff.

 

[Gbraga]

Yes.

I think so.

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww

For this kind of game? eeeeeewww

[SenorArdilla]

They never dubbed the 3DS version. They did remove lots of dialogue. No GV and Joule talking about their school life. No Viper/Daytona being a creepy bastard over Joule during his boss fight. No commentary from GV's support mid-stage.

All because it was "intrusive" (there was an option to disable it in the JP version) and there was "not enough space" (LOL).

 

[Brian_FETO]

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww

Maan D:

Yeah it's bizarre going between this and Mega Man Zero

 

[Jotamide]

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww

For this kind of game? eeeeeewww

Maan D:

To be fair, the framerate is rock solid. I never experienced dips or the like.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww

For this kind of game? eeeeeewww

Maan D:

and it was still great, I can't wait to replay it if only because of 60fps and for the full story.

 

[Momentary]

I meant that the original game was designed to be 30fps. Wouldn't they have to draw extra sprites to compensate for the extra frames? (I could be totally wrong here)

Sprite animation has nothing to do with FPS. For example, you can have 8 frames in an animation and still have a refresh rate of 60hz.

 

[pastrami]

I meant that the original game was designed to be 30fps. Wouldn't they have to draw extra sprites to compensate for the extra frames? (I could be totally wrong here)

It just means that the sprites will move around the screen more fluidly. Animations will remain the same.

I'm at work so I can't watch the video, I will when I get home, thanks.

Ah, alright. Sorry about that

 

[bede-x]

Love how Steam/PC has become my go to platform for these types of games and it's great seeing them address Steam specifically in the video. Really shows how much the platform has grown.

Day one

 

[E_Darkness]

It's been out for several months, yeah.

Waiiiit it actually came out? I guess I kinda gave up on it after 8 months. Well no reason to get the 3DS version now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

i hope it's 60 fps

 

[Dremark]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

I'll keep "space issues" in mind the next time I'm considering purchasing one of thier games.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

Well this dev is going on my "do not buy" list.

What a stupid reason,

 

[Alric]

I was just about to buy on the 3ds but now I know what version I'm getting. Least I won't have to worry about my hands hurting like they do on my sharp corners 3ds.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

Oh wow, if they intend to sell 3ds owners Gunvolt 2 , they better update the fucking game.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I heard that they also cut from the English version VN scenes between missions and other stuff, I wonder if it's back.

It hurts so much to get an incomplete game.

 

[Shizuka]

They really should update the 3DS version, it's the platform that made ASG a successful new IP in the first place.

 

[Akibared]

I heard that they also cut from the English version VN scenes between missions and other stuff, I wonder if it's back.

It hurts so much to get an incomplete game.

Why did they cut that stuff?

 

[shadow2810]

Why did they cut that stuff?

To cut down the cost. Guess now they have enough money from us 3ds owners to "fully" localize the game.

 

[Tain]

i'd buy it with a new difficulty mode built around allowing the player to die occasionally

 

[@MUWANdo]

Why did they cut that stuff?

Limited budget and people were preemptively complaining about it before the game was out, so cutting it probably didn't seem like a contentious decision at the time.

 

[Grief.exe]

Isn't Super Light Drifter said to run at 30 FPS locked or some such?

Game Maker causes issues apparently.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

Fuck Gunvolt 2 then. I don't have space for it, hurrrrrrr.

 

[Corpekata]

Pleasant surprise, didn't expect it. And so soon!

 

[Saikyo]

Nice surprise, gonna buy it.

 

[ShinobiMuramasa]

Fuck Gunvolt 2 then. I don't have space for it, hurrrrrrr.

That's an excellent point. I'm certainly less inclined to get Gunvolt 2 on the 3DS if it's just going to be an inferior product again.

 

[kiryogi]

That's an excellent point. I'm certainly less inclined to get Gunvolt 2 on the 3DS if it's just going to be an inferior product again.

Gotta admit, this is a very slippery slope. Im happy its the full on experience, but at the price of making people double dip? Not cool.

 

[120v]

Fantastic news. Really wanted to play this but didn't feel like dusting off my 3DS

 

[storafötter]

Oh this is a neat surprise. I did not want to get it on the 3ds so this will be pretty nice for my next purchase on steam.

 

[Tetsuo9999]

Bumping this for the release. Has anyone found out what framerate this runs at? I can't test at the moment since my PC is at the repair shop.

 

[Durante]

i'd buy it with a new difficulty mode built around allowing the player to die occasionally

Heh, I was curious about how challenging this was.

So now 3DS is getting a JP voice update, so much for space issues...?
