    Definitely easier, but where's the fun in that? You could also mount a mirror to the front of the Wiimote to create an angled view. I confess I couldn't remember the Prime 3 controls to save my life.

    If you can find a Nyko "Action Pak" at this point in time, that might do what you want already. It's a Nyko Wand(Wiimote) packaged with a pistol grip that interfaces electronically rather than a mechanical linkage. The pistol trigger is a mirror of the Wiimote trigger, and the "hammer" works as the A button(maybe useful?).

    I've played console FPS games before and since. I always thought Prime's controls were an interesting solution to the reduced precision of thumbsticks. (I say this as someone who generally prefers gamepad to keyboard&mouse or keyboard&trackball for PC FPS. The latter solutions are more precise, but less fun.) I do grant that a game kind of has to be constructed with that control scheme in mind, you can't just bolt it on later and expect it to work well.

    I saw one of the original development team posted about this. Said they completely screwed up the colored lighting on the doors(which he spent a lot of time getting just right), but other than that it was fantastic. Personally, I liked the original game's controls. But I'm seriously considering this for the improved textures and lighting. And I'm really glad they seem to have avoided any urge for revisionism or major "improvement", as it's rare that an oldschool Metroid fan gets a win these days and Prime was as close to perfect as the technology of the time allowed.

    And we can never forgive Bay for turning Jazz into "that guy that said two sentences and then got murdered by Megatron". ... Then bringing Megatron back from the dead multiple times and leaving Jazz to rust.

    It's funny because it's true!
  7. JB0
    Yeah, pretty much.

    It suddenly occurs to me that the Q-Rau having some form of inertia management makes it somewhat more impressive that Max managed to match Millia in a VF-1 that doesn't.

    No one did, that's the problem with Southern Cross merch in general.

    Can confirm, I own the Skywarp of that mold.
  11. JB0
    Yes.

    I only played solo, but I've heard tales of how hilarious Jedi Knight multiplayer was. Because if you had a lightsaber out, you HAD A LIGHTSABER OUT. Collision detection on the blade was always active, so you could rush someone just standing there doing nothing, walk into his blade, and get murderized by someone who was actually AFK.

    Well, hopefully the alternate mold parts make for a really good Monstructor to offset the really bad Dinobots.

    It didn't read as any sort of disgruntlement, perhaps aside from "yes, I was director on Macross Plus, but really Kawamori was". And even that was tempered, with it being clear it wasn't because Kawamori was particularly antagonistic, just very enthusiastic and involved. I suspect it would be hard for one anime director to begrudge another for just wanting to make cartoons instead of overseeing them.

    Dang. That's a really impressive Tarn for Hasbro.

    Minovsky quartz.

    I think that head looks less like Megatron and more like Kup.
  18. JB0
    Wait, seriously? I'm surprised they tried, and disappointed nobody told me.

    See, my line of thought is when a human enters the mainframe, they are fully digitized, gaining the appearance and traits of a program. For all intents and purposes, they ARE a program. When they leave and are de-digitized, they are reconstructed as normal humans. This implies that a program would be analoged and reconstructed as a normal human in normal human clothes(thank goodness they won't show up stark naked). If they bring The Grid with them and digitize the world... well, that's still a win since it implies everyone gets to have cool Tron powers! But it does raise the severity of the "Rinzler's a jerkface" problem.

    BRING BACK DINOSAUCERS, YOU COWARDS!

    Based on all canon evidence available, it would likely end with Max proposing to Isamu.

    That would end poorly for the invaders, when their superpowers and rayguns meet real-world physics and they're suddenly and unexpectedly just a bunch of dudes in LARP gear. It kinda ruined Legacy when I realized the easiest solution to their problem was just "let Rinzler win". He portals out of cyberspace and becomes a wet sack of meat and bone. He ain't conquerin' the world like that.

    Very nice! That's almost as rare as a jetplane that doesn't have a robot hang-gliding under it.

    I'd love to see the sales pitch there. "Hey, boss! This new system makes us virtually invisible to radar and lidar. It's almost a perfect stealth system..." "But?" "It makes the fighter glow in the dark like a giant lightbulb? No one uses visual sensors, right?"

    I thought the PS5 was close to 100% back-compatible?
