I'm 26 and I barely know any of those.

I'm older than anyone's reveal to date and I was baffled by some of them. TLC? WTF? They didn't play TLC on 120 Minutes. If the question had been "give yourself one point for every Cure song you can name," I'd be screwed.

My quiz questions would fall on deaf ears. :( Name 3 members of the Steel Curtain. How many switches were on the front of the Atari VCS? How were the original Nintendo Fun Club newsletters bound together? Who (in video games) are David Crane and Bob Miller? What game series featured Invisiclues? What would Activision send you if you send them physical photographs of your high scores? Give yourself a point for every Williams arcade machine you can name. What is the spiritual first game in the Gradius series?

*sigh*

I worked for a long time with a guy named David Crane. I once asked him if he knew anything about pitfall. He didn't. The dream died that day :(

Ha! Sucks to be that guy, constantly crushing the dreams of kids everywhere.

I belatedly saw that Crane wanted to do a new Kickstarter for a new Pitfall type game, but it looks like it never caught fire and died quietly. Probably for the best.

I'm betting this is to mask loading the assets for the next room hence no skipping. It is running on the UE with low memory.

You'd think they'd load all of that at the start, though. COuld very likely be true, though. I do hope they shorten them for a potential sequel. As Max noted, it's possible to shorten them without losing the dramatic impact of repeatedly ricocheting of off the environment.

Xbox 360 RAM: 512MB
PS3 RAM: 256MB
Wii U: 1GB, but not the leading platform.

There's not enough space on the important current gen console's RAM to load the entire stage at once.

Wow! I didn't realize the PS3 and 360 had such little RAM. You guys are probably right about the stage transitions masking the loading of the new portions of the areas.

Thanks for watching the Injustice stream again guys. Pretty nice to uh..actually have viewers for once lol.

You got fast-tracked because you like SFxT!

Though, it was probably because you regged right before we did a giant set of account approvals.
 
Ugh, stuck with no Injustice until tomorrow. At least I can enjoy doing setups with Batman in the demo...

There's not enough space on the important current gen console's RAM to load the entire stage at once.

To be fair, the PS3 has 256mb available to the CELL cpu and 256mb available to the RSX gpu while the 360 shares it's RAM with both the CPU and GPU. Before someone chimes in saying that Tekken does stage transition quickly ... the stages are not as busy as those presented in Injustice for better or for worse.

You'd think they'd load all of that at the start, though. COuld very likely be true, though. I do hope they shorten them for a potential sequel. As Max noted, it's possible to shorten them without losing the dramatic impact of repeatedly ricocheting of off the environment.

What Max did is edit the video though and not analyse the memory footprint of the game. I'm sure they could have edited the sequences down (but not by much) to keep the pace of the match but it's not the final decision they made unfortunately. Either by artistic vision or technical limitation but this late into this generation I'd wager the later.

What's the DC version of Marvel minions?

Anyway, DC minions feeling that Deathstroke salt in the Injustice thread. Nice to see other communities struggle with zoning. Unlike Morridoom though, Deathstroke will be ass in 2 months

OOOOOoOOh, gawd dayum
I wonder if they will get angry if I refer to them (and me) using this in the Injustice thread


Are you playing the game too?
I played it at a friend's house and wrecked him using Deathstroke flowchart gimmicks. Aside from Batman, DS is one of my favorite DC characters so I was going to play him no matter what. Then he jumped on the bandwagon and I picked Aquaman. He got frustrated and turned off the game.

The chip on Aquaman's Trident rush (I think that's what its called) is insane. With meter burn you can chip someone for almost 1/4 to 1/3rd health.

Calling people minions isn't bad, but I think going around calling them imbeciles just wouldn't be a smart thing to do haha.
