Hideo Kojima's GBA Game

[The Former DMiller]

There had long been rumors about a project from Hideo Kojima, the famous game designer from Konami, for Game Boy Advance. In the past months word came out about the game being very unique. Today we know the game is called Boktai in Japanese, meaning My Sun. As Konami has revealed, the game has an add-on that detects natural sunlight. There are not many solid details about the gameplay at this time, but there is a main character named Django and plenty of vampire enemies.

Wow, that sounds really interesting. I'd like to see exactly how light affects the gameplay, but it's a unique idea either way. The link has some screenshots from the game.

No offense, but that didn't provide any extra information that we didn't already know about the game.

In fact, it probably provided LESS information.

I gotta say this about that. Although I must admit that's "innovative", I also must admit it's just a gimic in my eyes. It just seems like another ROB if you ask me, well not that bad.

(You know I think I said this last time I heard about it, oh well you hear it again!)

I mean, let's just invent a new device called the KAREN (Kickarse Automated Ridiculous Enhancement Nicknack)to enhance gameplay! It'll be a device that when you press various buttons on it, it directly presses buttons on the controller! Yeah, and it'll look like something from the game! You need it to play, and wow, now you can press the buttons on your controller without ever actually having to press them with your own fingers!

I mean, how much could this add to gameplay that putting a light sensor in the game itself (like something the character wears on it's wrist) couldn't do? Putting it in the game would actually make it more gamelike. Instead of just walking inside and outside the whole game, you would actually have to put the light sensor in the game in light and dark situations. Seriously, although light level would be an interesting thing, actually using real world light levels is bordering on the retarded.

You already knew light would directly affect the game?

[Dark Jaguar]

Actually we did. After all, why else would they be going on about how light would affect the game in the last news we heard? They already told us about the light sensor then. Were we to assume it had a light sensor, but sadly it wasn't even hooked up to the game's data and never once used in the game?

Hmm, I did not know that. I had thought this was totally new news.

Here are some pics of the game:

Gah! The same pics we had a day earlier! This makes me sad, especially since Great Rumbler is the only one here who actually goes to N-Philes. :bummed:
