NES games were 60 FPS, as were the vast majority of classic arcade games.
When i think i can't get more hyped i see a better demo and omg the wait until the end of August is gonna be soooo long
Having watched both Treehouse videos, I'm pretty intrigued. My biggest concern is that I have no experience with these types of games, so a lot of the depth is lost on me. What already released game (e.g., Bayonetta) would be the best jumping in point for a novice? I have the following systems: XBox 360, Wii U, Wii, and 2DS (throwing the last two in just in case). Thanks!
I don't personally care that this is 30fps, but to be fair, they didn't.
Bayonetta 2. it's easier to get into than Bayonetta 1 (and the better game because of it, in my opinion). Taura didn't work on that game, but there are similarities in Platinum's combat design.
there's also Metal Gear Revengence, which Taura did work on, there's even the cutting element in Astral Chain from MGR
People build up these games too much based on what you can do on the high end, I think outside of a few outliers most of them are really friendly to new players. Especially a game like Bayonetta which is totally doable without memorizing combos or anything and will be a flashy, fun experience for anyone.
Nintendo and Platinum's. Nintendo tends to co-own new IPs instead of owning them outright for whatever reason
This looks fucking fantastic.
My only criticism is the character design of the girl. There is absolutely no reason in this world why she has to wear short shorts while the guy is wearing pants.
Unless he can also wear them and she has the long pants option.
I mean i know why because animu and waifu. Still cringey.

Best decision ever. Heck it's even come after discussed with Nintendo is surprised me more.
I feel this games needs a demo before release. Would help sell me on the game. I think W101 got a pre-release demo on Wii U.
But did that help the W101 any much? No
Game demos tend to hurt more sales these days I feel especially for niche games that people are already hesitant to take the plunge on. Cause in point, my buddy liked the Bayonetta 2 demo but he sure never bought it cause he got a taste of the game via the demo

Hopefully it's at least a rock-solid 30FPS. It's not the end of the world (we all enjoyed Vanquish for years at sub-30, and The Wonderful 101 is still incredible when it drops to like 10FPS), but it's a real shame to have a new, awesome-looking Platinum combat system at 30FPS with no prospect of an upgrade until Switch emulation gets off the ground.
60FPS existed long before action games did :P

It's too bad if the game isn't 60, but it is what it is at this point. I would take a 720p 60 fps mode in TV mode option even, but we all know Nintendo isn't about giving options like that.
Since its translated it could also mean other things or things lost in translation. he'd enjoy it if people had a better idea of what police should be and worked towards creating that reality?
How many dirty cops are romanticized in media? Having good wholesome police might help.. tho probs not from a niche game 😂
But also, idk what the best answer to that question would be on the spot especially for someone maybe completely in the dark about American policing.
I think W101's demo probably hurt the game more than helped, it just threw people into it without really showing you how to play and that game is not like a standard action game at all. If people just get frustrated with it and put it down rather than learn it organically and invest in it if they had bought it already then the demo isn't really going to do the game a service.
Well yeah, kinda. Every single media from the game has been 30fps, even the stuff from Tree House was 30fps, and in that show we got demos at 60fps (LA inside houses for example) and was obvious, so it's not a video encoding thing.
Yes. You can tell from the gameplay released. If it was higher, it would show since all of Treehouse is encoded at 60fps
Wonderfull 101 demo was bad because it threw the player kinda in the middle of the game without any tutorials available or explanation of the setting.
I don't know who had that "great" idea but I hope he learned his lesson or got fired.
I am not even talking about the lack of marketting from Nintendo...
Thank god since then we have Tree House now.
Hmm that is true, well then I'd definitely take it if they end up offering it in this game.
