Metal Meets Sunshine

[Angrist]

Man BaBby, couldn't you find any worse pictures of Mario Sunshine?

Those characters don't look very... sympathetic... Weird animals in clothes and with weapons / vacuum cleaner.

Well is that better.......than a fox with a staff?? Or an actually human being using a vacuum cleaner??

Hmmmmmm

[Angrist]

Ok you've got a point... I just guess it needs time getting used to....

Mario is all sunny and happy, it has so much atmosphere! The other ones look.... dark and and and... weird...

First off what is a BaBby?
If you thik they are bad shots, find better ones and post them in the thread.

Of the three from a visually standpoint, which do you think looks better?
From a visual standpoint, I would have to give the advantage to Ratchet & Clank. I mean the game just looks good.

From a technically standpoint which do you think looks better?
From a technical standpoint, I think it's a rather tough decision. I mean Blinx is one of the first games to truly use the Xbox's harddrive, but than Mario has such a lively and large world. I mean there are birds flying, nice sunny environment. Huge worlds and well Mario and his animation. So I would give this a tie between Mario and Blinx.

When they are all released this year which do you think will be the superior game?
I think that they will all be good in there own respect. I mean Mario will continue the legacy started by Super Mario Bros 1 on the NES. Blinx will probably give the Xbox a quality platformer and will probably give them a quality mascot, and well Ratchet & Clank looks to add more stuff to the duel character platformer.

Which will have the most mainstream appeal? Mario short and sweet.

Which will have the least?
For some reason, I see Ratchet & Clank will probably have the least mainstream appeal. I mean I thought Jak & Daxter was a good game, but it hardly got the respect it was due. So I think it may have something to do with the Ps2's fanbase, but I don't know.

Other than Mario, do you see Blinx or Ratchet become mainstay mascots?
I see all 3 characters becoming possible mascots. I think it will take a while for any o catch the levels that Mario and Sonic are on, but they should have no problem reaching Crash and Spyro.

Which do you think will be longer? More enjoyable? Just more fun?
I think Nintendo needs to make SMS a longer game. I mean thus far Nintendo has had some good games but all suffered from a short playtime. They have no choice but to make Mario long and enjoyable.

I will proabbly enjoy all 3 of them. I just love platformers like that.

Yeah, I'm late, but whatchagonnado?

Well from a visually standpoint which do you think looks better?

If Mario looked better, I would say this is unfair because Mario is on better hardware... BUT, for some reason dispite Gamecube's visual advantage over Ps2 R & C seems to look better. So R & C wins this by a land-slide.

From a technically standpoint which do you think looks better?

(runs to look at videos)

R&C looks better, Mario looks more fun, but fun has nothing to do with this graphics question. I'm sure R&C pushed more polygona, and if not, Mario's Frame Rate is 60 FPS while R&C's is 30 FPS takeing away half the polys Mario could have had.

When they are both released this year which do you think will be the superioer game?

This can't be answerd without my bias.. so I will go with the game I'm more hyped about, Mario.

And will Ratchet and Clank be able to put a dent in the mighty plumber's armor?

Howso? In sales? HELL NO

But I do think R & C may set the standards higher for a Mario platformer. I can only see R & C hurting mario if mario hurts itself by being crap.

Not only are you late but you are also behind. Didn't you read through the threaD? I changed up the questions and added a 3rd game. I knew I should have included a note in the original post. Go fig.
