Rename a Game

Subject: Rename a Game Mon 27 Jul 2015 - 13:10

An idea inspired by Jaster, when it was exclusively revealed on GNamer that the spiritual successor to Silent Hills would be called Quiet Mountains or Muffled Mounds. Let's have some more ideas in that vein! I know that I can't wait for the eShop to throw up Hyper Divorso Siblings (Super Mario Bros.) or Godzilla Mule (a rather tenuous Donkey Kong).

To focus our efforts a bit better, my suggestion for week (or time period or whatever) 1 is rhythm games. Greats such as Whack the Pulse: Groove Utopia (surely you can get this one?) and so on. But if you think of a non-week-themed idea, then go for it.

I can't wait for Activision's reboot of the Lute Champion series.

Top-Notch Cadence Representatives would be a good reboot.

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Mon 27 Jul 2015 - 15:56

Took me a minute there. Laughing

Would we class Byte Stumble Swimmer as a rhythm game?

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Mon 27 Jul 2015 - 16:19

I still haven't got Cappa's. Embarrassed

EBA? Still struggling on "Cadence".

Not sure about that one, Jay - I never felt that the rhythm really helped with your clumsy swimming, so much as pattern memorisation. Same applies to BSS2: Magic Alien with Rhythm Game Ability Runs Incessantly through Nice Environments (BTR2: FLORA).

I believe it is EBA, as it was known in Japan before we got TNCR over here.

Superb renaming of the sequel, there. Laughing

Pebble Layer was always one of my favourites.

Stratum, you mean? Ah yes, great games. Although I felt they let themselves down with the Coleoptera edition.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned the great Paarenbeearteest the R'n'B Artist yet! Shocked

Real games:

I can't wait until Axe Champion on air comes out.

(EDIT: New rank GET!)

Do you remember when Sony came out with that incredibly offensive Parappa the Slapper game? Thumbs Down...

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Mon 27 Jul 2015 - 23:13

Guys, which is your favourite Old Pages game? I know the recent one's more pretty, but I actually prefer the locations in Old Pages 4: Unawareness, to the sequel, Air-RudeThingToDoToABum.

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 8:48

Not so keen on NextDay-RudeThingToDoWithABum, Jimbob? (i.e. Morrowind.)

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 12:04

Swing Parkhead.

...and it's time for a new genre.

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 12:08

Sure why not. Jimbob's started it, so may as well go with Western RPGs. (And any other rhythm games that have been left out.)

Which is your favourite Widespread Impact game? I'm looking forward to Wife of Theseus. (Mass Effect Andromeda.)

(I don't get Cappa's... again. Embarrassed

Also, didn't say this at the time, but I'd be up for Lute Champion.)

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 12:10

Western RPGs? Let's go back to music games!

Jaster might get my last one, maybe mas, perhaps the other Scottish forumites too. It's not very good.

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 12:38

Too late! That train is already leaving the platform. It's WRPGs from hereon in! Very Happy

Although (to yell at the rapidly departing train) I am surprised that nobody brought up Sleepactors classic, Dance of the Friend. Perhaps still scarred by the Uriinate version?

(Dreamcast, Samba de Amigo, Wii.)

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 13:21

Bulk Impact

On Cappa's last game I get the Parkhead but not sure on the first bit to make a music game/

Roundabout Ibrox?

As for Western RPGs, I am ridiculously excited for the latest Aftermath series.

It's not as good as there other series The Mature Parchments

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 16:14

Think you need to read all the posts, Mas - that's the second time someone's got to a series before you! Laughing

I prefer the more fantasy-themed ones anyway, like Seahorse's Epoch: Nobody Expects (Dragon Age: Inquisition).

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 16:23

Well that sucks but hand to respond to Jay's Aftermath,

But at least know one has brought up Emerald Kingdom

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 16:40

You've lost me again! I'm rubbish at these. Aww!

Just been looking at the TVTropes page for these - I didn't know God Out counted as a WRPG. (Thought Livefright might - it doesn't.)

Spoiler:

Subject: Re: Rename a Game Tue 28 Jul 2015 - 17:07

Could I request that people put the original/real title in spoiler tags in their posts/before too long? I've only got about a quarter of these so far. Embarrassed

Took me a little bit for it to click but Rhythm Paradise? Also you may as well be throwing out random words to for the rpg genre.
