+atari2600land Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm interested, but why do they all have to be RPGs? Can't some team of programmers make a decent platformer or puzzler for once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm interested, but why do they all have to be RPGs? Can't some team of programmers make a decent platformer or puzzler for once? I think it's about market. RPGs I think have a larger niche market than the other two. I could be wrong, but I just think RPGs are more marketable, and perhaps it's easier to find people to get excited about programming them because of the story involved, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people have been wanting an RPG on the same level as the Final Fantasy games for the SNES. Hilariously enough, good RPGs for the Genesis have been available for quite some time and have only been one SegaCD purchase away from most of these people...

Multijointed Monster Maker Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It's ironic that people are making RPGs on the Sega Genesis, while I'm trying to make action games on the Super Nintendo. I find it sad that nobody even tried to make a Gunstar Heroes game on the SNES. Everybody kept complaining about everything causing slowdown without even trying in the first place. Stop blabbering about unexplored territory, and just explore it for once!!! Programmer - "Duh, I'm not going to do it because it will cause slowdowns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep saying Sonic 2'll run just fine if ported to SNES. "Nonono, it'll be too slow!" ...then what of the Game Gear Sonics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Aren't they just localized versions of games that already existed? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Some are, some aren't. Beggar Prince is a localization. Pier Solar is a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
