Foxy Cleopatra Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I think he looks kinda cute.... Thus proving that women are often attracted to gay guys. As for Pitfall 3-D' date=' I recently got it for $4.99 used at EB Games. For that price it's worth it. The game looks good and plays.....okay. Controls are wonky (that may just be the fault of the lowsy PSX controller) and collision isn't the best. Still, it's easily better than [b']Super Pitfall[/b], so that's something I guess. Many questions wished to be answered by those left behind can only be answered by those gone on. We also have Ptifall 3-D for the PS and his voiceovers are pretty funny. Not a bad game but I will agree about the controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I don't know much about modern games, but are these the steps they take when updating a classic game? 1. Update graphics to super hi-res 2. Create rendered 3-D world 3. Update sounds, removing any that may remind you of the original 4. Remove all traces of addictive gameplay from the original 5. Make main character gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Seems like it, although I find no evidence of Samus from Metroid being a lesbian in Metroid Fusion. Maybe in Prime? I don't have GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 New shots, showing Harry looking a little less "questionable". From the GCN version. (Of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveng Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Is that first picture a joke? Activision had a beautiful creation in Pitfall 3D... why change it? Just upgrade the graphics with new levels. Sigh...Sometimes I think gaming companies are run by idiots. . . . (later) I just looked at the last set of pics. It looks "kiddie" for lack of a better description. What is it with gaming companies lately trying to make their games look "cartoonish" with cel-shading or "cute"? For me, Pitfall is a serious game. Yeah, Harry cracks jokes now and then, but he is facing real dangers. It's not a joke, and therefore shouldn't be "cute" or "kiddie". BTW, why did you guys think Pitfall 3D had bad controls? It seemed okay to me. Are you using the analog stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the analog stick? Have you seen the cel shading in Jet Grind Radio or Jet Set Radio Future? That was one of the things that really caught my eye when the first one came out. And the controls aren't horrible in the 3D version, but they make the game a little difficult. I remember the first time I used the analog stick on the PS. I never thought I'd get the hang of it and always turned it off when I played games on the PS. I'd never used one before that. Now I hate using the pad controller...

theaveng Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I use both. I use the D-pad for menus and the analog stick for character movement. The only flaw I found with Pitfall 3D was the stupid camera. Instead of holding Harry in the center of the screen, the camera "wobbles" back and forth. If I play too long, I get motion sickness! But otherwise, I thought it was a great game. It had all the scorpion-avoiding, vine-swinging, pit-jumping action of the original! Definitely a keeper. (looks at gamescreenshots.com) Jet Set Radio Future is okay I guess, but I prefer the realistic look over cartoon. To date, the only cell-shading that's impressed me was Dark Cloud 2, because it looks like it's art instead of just a cartoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Looks like Pitfall: The Donkey Kong Country Quest or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Something about the Pitfall Harry in those pictures seems slightly unnatural. I don't mean in the "3-D rendering" way; I don't mean in that "cartoonism vs. realism" way; I don't mean in the "true to the 1980's aesthetic way" either. I can't put my finger on it yet, but they just seem to be... off. The game might be a lot of fun, it might even capture the spirit of the original Pitfall in a whole new way, but it still seems... off.

theaveng Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 The problem: The "doofus" look doesn't fit the Harry personality we read in the original Pitfall2 diary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Cleopatra Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 What do you guys think about Pitfall II(?) on the Jaguar? That game was really fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
