Idola Phantasy Star Saga Global No More!
The server has been shut down permanently.












The game server of Idola Phantasy Star Saga has been shut down on Aug. 22, 2022 (UTC) and users wouldn't be able to log in.
I've been playing the game daily since day one until the very end.
My level is 90 when the game's ended and probably the highest number of level I've ever reached in any RPG.
Too much in-game currency left in my pocket since the game's too generous with that, and probably that's the reason why it didn't make so much money like other gacha games.
I've also been a leader of INDONESIA Brigade/Guild/Alliance and I am proud enough to say that my Brigade is constantly in the Top 10 Brigades including the final day.
Thank you all for playing Idola Phantasy Star Saga, especially for my Brigade members.

Because the footage is only showing one stage in the game.
There are still other stages that could satisfy the need for the speed.



Also some movements are unlockables, may be speed-related too.
Oh they're still using that horrible blocky terrain for Green Hill? Why did they ditch Generations terrain of Green Hill over this? The blocky texture just makes it look more artificial.

Sonic Frontiers Gamescom 2022 trailer
New trailer showing off bit of the story mode and cyber space stages in Sonic Frontier.
It doesn't seem the Cyber Space will be using assets from Sonic Forces, instead it looks like it's doing the right thing and using assets from Sonic Generations instead.


Something that Sonic Forces should of done to begin with (and save development time over.)

This restores my faith in this game... even though I still find the new gameplay sort of questionable.

Ohh... Look a lot much better now...
I believe Forces is the first time they're using Hedgehog Engine 2 which was developed around the same time as Sonic Forces.
At that time they hadn't found a way to adopt files from Hedgegog Engine 1 (which used by Generations) yet.
I guess they found a way now.

Ooooooh!
For years I always asked myself, "Why couldn't Sonic Team simply recycle Sonic Generations into Sonic Forces? It's gameplay, it's physics, it's assets for Green Hill and Chemical Plant." If the answer was simply that Hedgehog Engine 2 could not import all that stuff then that would be a logical answer.

But then again couldn't they import the raw assets they already had for Generations into Forces? I dunno. I just always thought the Forces versions of Green Hill and Chemical Plant just didn't look as good as Generations versions... though Forces Chemical Plant reminds me a little of Arkham Origins.

Time constraint probably.
Since both Forces and Hedgehog Engine 2 were developed at the same time, Forces was developed with unfinished engine which still limited & have many restrictions which make making new elements in the game was faster than working around with the engine to accept "not-yet" compatible assets..
If they wait until the engine finished it would be too late to deliver the game at the promised release date.
I'm sure they'll rather choose the easy way if they could but they couldn't.

Well, the engine was finished (and has been used for new Sakura Wars, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, and Sonic Frontiers) so they now could focus on Frontiers alone.

I already vexed about the camping event being recycled from Classic Tails event, though I think they increased the value of the grapes to be less tedious. Still make me pissed off at how insulting it feels.

Total War: Medieval 3 is "something we will do", Creative Assembly reveals



Quote
"Shogun was pretty much about just getting it together to make it a game," says Ian Roxburgh, game director at Creative Assembly.
In the early 2000s, Roxburgh had arrived at the studio as a PR manager, from his previous job as a journalist on PC Gamer.
"When I joined the company, at that point it was about how to make that formula more watertight, get all the things that could have been done better, better."

A general is the lynchpin of the army.
Being near him inspires troops to fight longer and harder, and seeing him cut down is devastating to their morale — occasionally causing mass routs!
