Posted October 15, 2014 Well. They fixed the wonky circle pad movement in the demo. The main character moves very smoothly this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I'm surprised at how little they've changed the music. They've kept it really surprisingly faithful to the original GBA games! I was expecting them to shake the music up more and use more realistic instruments and a more jazzy style. I'm not disappointed at all, but just surprised since they radically changed the music style in the last two remakes - so seeing them remain faithful this time around is unexpected! Also... FULL 360 degree analog movement without the need for skates!! AT LONG LAST!!! HOORAY!!! You can even tiptoe through grass to avoid any and all wild Pokemon encounters! (Hooray for logic! ) Framerate still sucks balls though and the lack of S3D in the overworld still annoys the crap out of me - especially when you see the flying sequence cutscene (which looks fantastic and far better than the normal gameplay) which runs perfectly smoothly in S3D just fine... I do notice that they've put much more effort into the NPC animations and facial expressions this time around though. Everyone is much more expressive than in X/Y The new Bag is fantastic. Having the party Pokemon appear on the same screen for easy access makes everything much more streamlined! Anyway, I've done it twice and no more now. Once per day to pace myself, but man I want that full game right now! Oh and Mega Glalie just looks... Edited October 15, 2014 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 15, 2014 How long is the demo meant to last for? It's a short demo (about 5-10 mins), but each time you start it again something different happens and things change in the town you're lumped into. You're meant to keep playing it and see what changes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2014 I thought customisations were out - what's the deal with the alt outfits on each trainer in the sizzle reel at the end of the demo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a shame.. Well I'll be damned about the tail in the photo! Received a code for the demo an hour ago, looking forward to midnight Germany time! Oh yeah... You got me!

Posted October 16, 2014 Demo has been successfully data mined. Locations, the majority of items and a new Mega have been uncovered. Welcome to the future Game Freak! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2014 Got demo code from Amazon this morning. Only pre ordered the game yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2014 Are they significant changes or is it just random? Haven't played enough to know for sure, but it's an element of both so far. I was playing alongside my sister and the second time through, we both had the same "adventure" that we set out on (defeat all the trainers), but the environment that we went to and the Pokemon we encountered were all different. I hear that once you get to a certain point though, it does just start giving you randomised versions of previous tasks. Demo has been successfully data mined. Locations, the majority of items and a new Mega have been uncovered. Welcome to the future Game Freak! It's a good thing that the demo is far from content complete!

I was playing alongside my sister and the second time through, we both had the same "adventure" that we set out on (defeat all the trainers), but the environment that we went to and the Pokemon we encountered were all different. Ah, interesting. I got "Defeat all trainers" today as well. Had no idea that it differed slightly on the Pokemon you fought. Nobody tell me if he does, but I swear Steven dropped a hint that he'd give you that shiny Mega Metagross soon. Is it bad that I still used the D-Pad for movement? It just feels more natural to me, it's strange... I noticed that if you moved around with the Circle Pad, then switch to D-Pad, there's a short moment when the character repositions himself. But that sneaking animation is so full of LOL. Especially if you stop halfway through, it's like he's in a bloody cartoon! Question for everyone who has the demo, is your character's name Orlando? Because if so, does that mean this isn't Brendan? (Dude from the original games) It would explain a lot as to his design if he's a different guy. It's got me really intrigued now. But I have to resist the urge to carry on and have one adventure a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I have to resist the urge to carry on and have one adventure a day. Yeah. We were lumped with an Orlando as well... Suspicious... Also you're mad for sticking with the D-pad. You need to revel in the GLORIOUSNESS of full analog movement! I expect a Mega Metagross delivered to me when you do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2014 Also you're mad for sticking with the D-pad. You need to revel in the GLORIOUSNESS of full analog movement! Yeah, I know I should, but King Can't-Walk-Right has an iron-like grip on me. I'll have to force myself to use the Circle Pad for the rest of the demo.

Posted October 18, 2014 Holy shit, this compatibility issue between X&Y with the new versions is ridiculously messy. They really fucked up big time by not planning this out. Surely, if they intended to have more Pokemon have megas in the same generation and learn new moves, there should have been a compatibility plan? Platinum users could still have the alternate forme of Giratina when battling those with Diamond and Pearl copies, they just wouldn't display the new forme.

Posted October 24, 2014 I'm going to be getting Sapphire on the eShop of my Japanese 3DS, but I think for my physical European copy, I'm going to go with the official Nintendo Store for once so I get the steelbook and a figure. Problem is, they don't elaborate whether or not it comes in its original packaging AND the steelbook or just the steelbook. Game says it comes with both, Nintendo's shop doesn't. Am I best off in assuming it's the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 29, 2014 The battles look fantastic..let's hope the frame rate is better than in X & Y. The overworld looks horrific though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 29, 2014 From what I saw in the demo, the frame rate is, if possible, even worse than in X&Y especially if you toggle 3D on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
