Kamen Rider Battride War Genesis

Post by takenoko »

Are people hyped for this?

It's interesting that it's coming on PS4, but I'm kind of leery about tie-in games at this point. I didn't even finish II.

Making a wiki page for this: http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Kamen_Ride ... ar_Genesis

Comes out on the 25th this month.

This promo has me excited, heisei riders!

I'm in the same boat as you. I got about halfway through II before realising I've played this exact game before in I and giving up.

I mean, they only real draw this has is that it has a bigger number of playable riders. Gatack would be the main drawn for me, so I might wait a while after release to check out the opinion rather than getting it on release.

I gave in and preordered it. Let's hope it's worth it~

It looks like they lost some characters? Chalice and Joker were in the original Battride, but I notice they're not in this one. (Of course we get Garren and Libra Zodiarts instead). Personally, I think Blade/Chalice > Blade/Garren. I guess we lost some stuff because they were really focused on the main Rider / secondary Rider system.

Sweet. I'll wait for your verdict before jumping in.

Are they doing that premium sound rubbish again?

Waste of time. With custom sound you can do better then the crappy little loops you get only during the ultimate forms in the premium sound.

It might be my imagination, but it seems like the premium edition was cheaper this time around?

Maybe this is why I bounced on II, but I just checked the new characters list and it seems like they barely added any new Riders. So seeing a big list of new guys with their original voices is always heartening for me.

Most of the new playable characters are just characters that were support characters in the previous games, so mostly secondary. Should be good to spice things up, but I'm hoping the gameplay has improved a bit more.

The thing I hate the most about the other two games is when you are on the bike and when you drive through the enemies they just dive out of the way. There is no incentive to fight anything that isn't in a target area.

That's not really true about most of the new playable characters in Genesis being support characters from the previous games, because you got the Showa era riders (except for Riderman, ZX, Shin, ZO, and J), Joker, Drive, Mach, Chaser, and of course Ghost and Specter who are all completely new to the series.

Here are the character showcase videos from Bandai Namco's YouTube.

Let me rephrase that.

Most of the INTERESTING playable characters are the support characters from the previous games. Opinions I've read online suggest that noone really gives a crap about being able to play as the Showa riders.

I got my copy today. I'm having fun with it so far. About the only thing annoying is that screenshots and video recording are disabled, you can livestream but background music is muted.

Wait, the music is muted in the stream?

I mean, that's cool since it's annoying to get copyright notices, but sucks for the viewers.

Toei... really hates free publicity.

mean that in regards to even the music being muted when streaming.

Music copyrights might not belong to Toei but at least they are aware of the streaming landscape that it automatically mutes the music to prevent copyright strikes.

I suppose that's the issue with using licensed songs. A shame.
