I hope this turns out well |
Is this going to be a new game or a compilation rerelease? |
The gameplay bit beginning at 00:14 looks to be a recreation of the first mission of the original game, so looks like a remake. |

I had a similar experience with a friend, but in my case it wasn't the game he played the most, but the only game he had, because he just had to have a 360 right away at the holiday season and eventually became so desperate he bought one for way more than retail, and had to sell his old Xbox and all games except Halo 2 to afford it.
Needless to say, I had to give him some ribbing any time I came in and saw him playing Halo 2. |

Eggman's little brother was rejected from the engineering program and got a BFA. |
Somehow the mention of engineering program and Robotnik just sputtered forth an idea:
A game that puts you in the role of Robotnik, where you actually design and build the various badniks for your conquest/hedgehog hunting. Amongst the various components would be the small animals used to do whatever the hell he sticks them in there to do (power source or something?), each kind of animal possessing different traits that suit them to robots of different purposes.
Early game would be putting together Caterkillers and the like, working your way up eventually to E-100 series and Metal/Mecha Sonic things.
And of course, some boss fight equipment too.
Maybe add some Dungeon Keeper elements, and design your own final zone as well? |

This is the Ridge Racer I have been waiting for. |
I'm almost all for it, just why did they had to go for the CGA-style palette? |
I think it's meant to be more '80s neon, which just happens to look very CGA-ish, particularly combined with the low res looking textures. |

Same here. Especially since the only enemies that ever really seemed to be hidden in the more common zero visibility nooks and crannies (not like when you follow sentry bots or the dud with the lantern, etc) were the zombies, and they were so slow you could easily pull out another gun to kill them, or even just beat them with the light. Which goes to the uninteresting combat thing. |

Welp, looks like Minecraft's days may be numbered for me. Finally, I can build stuff with actual arches and curves! |

Occasionally, when I get in a castle building mood. Then I inevitably get irritated at some limitation that keeps me from doing what I want. Medieval Engineers at least looks like it will let me get closer to my ideas. |

| ah, okay. Personally, building things for reasons other than function was just about the least interesting part of the game for me, which I realize makes me kind rather an outlier. |
And that kinda gets to the other problem of why Minecraft gets dull for me.
There's very little building for function to be had. About the only main function buildings have is to keep mobs off you, and a dirt hut with a moat can deal with pretty much all of that just as well as some big fancy castle.
One of the things I love about Space Engineers is that all the ships you build can be built to actually do things, from mining to hauling to fighting and piracy. So hopefully they'll keep that going here, at the least the existence of siege engines means there's going to be purpose and incentive to building bigger, tougher forts. |

Yay for actual compass usage.
That arm swinging leaves me with the amusing impression he's strutting around. |

Honestly, the melee takedowns are generally snappy enough to not be a problem to me, with the exception of the chainsaw, and they keep it all first person. I could imagine getting tired of them, though.
But unless there's a mechanic that forces you to use them (ideally there'd be a melee button, ala DN3D's quick kick for if you want them), just don't do them/stay at range? But still too much cinematic shit overall, yes.
But I did like that climb made after snagging the hand. Be nice if the level design takes that extra bit of mobility into account, though outside of that moment, what we saw didn't seem to.

Enemies dropping shit is basically fine. Though classic Doom reserved it to former humans dropping guns/ammo. Which seems to be the main issue here, everthing is dropping stuff, and it includes health and armor. And that could facilitate lazy level design, rather than having times of sparse supply to make the player sweat. And the highlighting is obnoxious. As is the glowing enemies which I assume are health indicators.

Looked like they all had more oomph than Doom 3 at least though. And I dug the imp getting knocked on its ass by the SG hit and pulling a rolling recovery.

You mean visually? Otherwise, I think Quake II was kind of more of a Doom 3 than Doom 3 was. |

| If anything, I'd question the first part more. Given that the latter part show the kid capable of riding the birdog as it makes its leaps and bound, it makes me wonder why he didn't simply ride it across for that first big jump, instead of the leap of faith that it could catch him. |

Go the old different characters you get if you don't pair at all route? Except now maybe they reference being an adopted kid.
Alternatively, a wizard did it. |

that's what i meant - i've never played anything s.korean before and was really enjoying myself a lot when playing MC2, you could tell that they didn't have a go at a (J-)RPG before and it felt partially dorky when copying things that J-RPGs left behind long ago, but then also fresh in that they weren't bound by traditions. |
Another example is the Kingdom Under Fire games, spinning Dynasty Warriors with some tactical elements. |
