Hey what ever happened to...?

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 5:37 am

1. Secret of Evermore? The classic tale of a boy and is dog, who get svcked into a virtual world and battle their way out of historical/fantastical settings!! The voyage through "time" including the Jurassic Era, a fusion of ancient Rome/Egypt, an old timee world and (robot voice) THE FUTURE !! I think the game could be re-invented with new areas, equipment, alchemy, co-op play, story and endings!! Just sayn.
Also.
2. Jade Empire? I don't even need to explain why I want to know why there never was another of this game.
3. Star Wars: KOTOR? The ending to the second game was VERY open. I know that an MMO has been released, but ... I can't ... I just can't play MMO's. I' ban myself. Did I miss any of the story?
4. Metroid Fusion? I really liked the story like, much more than the Prime story line. Am I completely alone here?
5. Side Scrollers? I think a modern side scroller a la Castlevania: SOTN is past due.

As far as the KOTOR story goes Revan has a kid and flip flops back and fourth between light and dark, Sith Empire goes away for some time and comes back at the start of the MMO story. The MMO is pretty good about story to be honest. I just don't know every specific detail.

KOTOR2 was released unfinished because a publisher wouldn't let the developer have more time. SWTOR is, as I've seen, further in the timeline.

They're still dev'd pub'd. Look on XBox Arcade or PSN. Also, there's a few indie ones on PC

Side-scrollers are still around, but they're mostly being done by indie developers. http://trine2.com/site/, for example.

Secret of Evermore was the first and last tile by Squaresoft's North American branch. Seeing as they wouldn't continue to make original games and that Evermore was never released in Japan, Square probably saw no reason to do a follow-up.

I'd be up for a sequel though. It was a pretty good game.

1. Secret of Evermore?
Many people wrongfully believed Secret of Evermore coming out was somehow to blame for Secret of Mana 2 not being translated, so they were determined to hate it. It bombed, so the absence of a sequel is no surprise.

What happened to Heroes :verymad:
This was my favourite programme for years then it vanished at the end of season 4 which left a massive cliff hanger...
It was massive in Europe and Asia but not in the US so it got cancelled, that's crap...

I didn't like Heroes that much. :teehee: I watched the first season and the some of the second season. It was really good at the beginning, but later ... really disappointing was the behavior of (what was his name again? Something with S, I think. He was the one who "ate" brains to get power).

He didn't eat brains, he took them out and 'anolysed' them I'm sure. The second season was a bit boring because of the introduction of the Mexican girl who turned her eyes black and killed everyone whenever she was upset/stressed. The 3rd season was good, and the final one was slow to pick up but it had a lot to explain after Nathan was killed but was reappearing, it was great to see how future seaons were tying in with seaon 1. Like when Peter/Hiro is taken to the future and future Peter saves them only to be approached by Future Nathan (who is meant to be dead by this point, who is infact Syler). Syler was an interesting character, he did get too many powers though and wouldn't use certain ones at points were they'd be perfect. I figured Peters Dad would of had a bigger role in the series apart from dying almost right way after being resurected.

You should check out Secret of Evermore, but you MUST play Jade Empire. (unless you just meant you've not head anything)
So KOTOR was just ... left... unfinished?!?!?!?! WHO DO I KILL?!
Yes, but ... how does that make you FEEL?!
True enough. I've got SOTN on my xbox (with all achievements) and the last inide game I played that was worth any time was LIMBO. I'll have to check this Trine, out.

Well I enjoyed it. Also, there was a sequel. Sieken Dietensu III... you can play it on EMU. Evermore was better. SOOOOO much better. I'm mad about that.

Someone already mentioned revan, so kipping to the Exile...

The Jedi exile got a name (her name is meetra Surik, apparently) and she went to help Revan battle the Sith Emperor. She got herself killed for her trouble and her force ghost helped Revan survive his imprisonment by the sith Emperor until he's popped out in the MMO.
