They could just make it Starcraft Ghost.

that's okay Platinum can always save it by making it like Dark Souls.

Thing kinda reminded me of Vanquish, actually.

Grit is what the public demands.

I don't think I've ever had grits
Looking it up, I don't think I ever want grits

Grits is real man food.
I'd be down for a Bad Boxart Mega Man FPS that satirized the whole dark and gritty reboot phenomenon, but Capcom's the last company I'd expect to be that self-aware.
That's because you aren't a loli loving weeaboo! That's right, if you don't like gritty reboots then you're a loli loving weeaboo! Someone just seriously said that in the thread just now. Good lord. That thread is killing me from the inside... let's talk about something else before I'm completely dead from the inside!
Like uh... Sonic!
Do you guys think we'll hear anything about Sonic within a few months from now? It's April already and still nothing!
EDIT: curse you JC :lol
Playing Dikembe Mutumbo and Frog Fractions last year made me more aware of the enormous and mostly untapped opportunity in video games for self-parody, satire, and surrealism more generally. There are so many conventions in gaming that would be absurd in almost any other context (killings thousands of people at a time, slapping bandages of gaping bullet wounds, double jumping in general), yet most games try to ignore all of that and act as if they're serious and coherent. It's disappointing that more developers haven't found a way to just accept the embrace the absurdity and have some fun.
For an example of what I'm talking about, Botanicula had a refreshing sense of anarchy to it, including that part where a meat apple launches the heroes into space so they can witness the original moon landing. That was great! I want more of that! Why aren't there more levels in platforming games where you're jumping around something like Salvador Dalí's melting clock painting?
Since I'm starting to ramble, I'll just say that I would like to see more approaches taken to game stories and environments other than "simple/cartoony/artificial whimsy" and "grimdark/self serious." So yeah, a sarcastic Mega Man reboot would be lovely.
I laughed way too hard at this

Edit: Now I'm nervous again. -_-
What a way to start a week.
Regardless, I'm still not feeling those visuals at all. I really dislike how it looks, and well, I wouldn't have been able to play it, so bleh. And some of the vitriol in that thread. Oy. Why does that footage have cinematic killshots?

I would love that. I genuinely would. It'd be like Matt Hazard, I guess. Only, like, it'd play good.

But will you be smiling after you lose the bet?
I would be dead from the inside (depending on how bad it is), so I guess not.

It looks like it controls and looks fine but where the hell is my bloody music...=(
How bad are we talking? Wait... should I even know?
Not ready yet apparently.
I always find spindashing kind of game breaking for Sonic 1. Well... not really but it takes away the challenge of breaking walls! (Still a nice addition though)

How bad? Just think of what you hate the most, and it'll be just like that.
Oh it isn't ready yet? Never mind then.
Oh yeah?! Well I will still win this bet! Just you wait and see!

The threads a Sonic community, I assume people think the worst and steer clear.

Yes, they have.
They seem to be generally self-moderated.
No, we are not.
Looks good. Kinda mindblowing that it's in widescreen now.
Ouch, but probably true. We barely talk about Sonic games nowadays, nor do we have any creepy fan art.
I was just playing, but I've always felt like this place was separate from GAF for some reason.
Laying down the law, as usual

ALSO, Guacamelee! is great. It's metroidvania starring luchadores. A Mexicovania. Combat is solid, art style is charming, runs at a smooth 60fps at beautiful 1080p, it's funny as hell, has a surprisingly awesome Mexico tinged soundtrack, and you "Morphball" into a chicken to get through small areas. AND it's co-op, and filled with video game references!
and it has this neat Day of the Dead Light/Dark world mechanic, ala Outland, that they use for some challenging platforming/combat/puzzle sections
Buy it.
