The Return of Treasure?

segabits.com/blog/2017/10/30/treasure-president-teases-announcement-for-2018-vows-never-to-work-on-social-games/

archive.is/uX4EJ

Treasure's president Masato Maegawa says mobile/social games a shit and that he wants to "share something" for 2018 after turning down publishers' request for those types of games. Although the source apparently is from twitter with links to ResetEra…

Do you think anything will come from this, if they're somehow able to create something together? Will they help to make video games great again, or is this another monkey's paw flop in the making? You can talk about your fond memories of them too, I guess. If possible, I at least want Guardian Heroes HD ported over to the PC.

More Sin and Punishment would be real nice.

FUCK YES


Agreed, now if only Sakurai would stop making Saki an assist trophy and actually make him playable.

it'll be a Kickstarter for a new Sin and Punishment based in the Unity engine.

Fuck yeah negro

It would be nice if they ported Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes for PC.

Yeah, had Yu Suzuki in mind when making this thread; hope Shenmue III isn't a total bust. If only Sega had supported them more instead of being a bunch of fags. If they're going to make a game, they better learn from Platinum/Kamiya'smistake and avoid any Microsoft exclusivity deal. That leaves either PC or the Switch, since they're not really fond of Sony.

Shit, I knew I was forgetting an XBLA exclusive of theirs. I remembered Ikaruga was ported, but wasn't sure if they did the same for Radiant Silvergun.

what makes you think this?


treasure just porting games is what got them and success into this mess. you need to make games, not port them.

Likely Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun Switch ports.
Shmups are doing really good on it.

I maybe misremembering as I don't have any sources with me, but I recall it had something to do with Sony preferring 3D games so they didn't really see the value of their shmups at the time, so they held a grudge with them which resulted in them not doing as much for PSN as they did for XBLA.

Would be nice to see, but not every Treasure Game has been a gem.

once a pleb,always a pleb

We're not doing this console war faggotry.

Sega Genesis is better fuck you

...

Even if I don't like every single game they make, treasure has to be one of my favorite developers
Sin and punishment 2 missed the mark, at least when I played it single player. The strength of S&P was that it was a short and tight grab bag arcade-style game. S&P2's levels seem to last forever and I was fatigued with most of them by the end. Not a terrible game, it just disappointed me.
Fucking Bangai-O Spirits was one of those games I just loved, no real comment there, still haven't played the original.

Thanks Mark, is it the same faggot shitting up every thread?

you are a special kind of retard. It's because the previous owner downloaded games online. I seriously hope you don't actually believe this.

...

At least these guys have some pride in their products and what they do. Fuck mobile shovelware.

You own a physical copy of them, try making copies of that thing you "own" and then reselling them.

I am excited.

g2a.com/
You still don't understand why physical on PC was good.
Consoles are hardware restricted and worse than any DRM there is


I'm just glad more and more devs and jumping off the mobileshit bubble before it bursts and making tradicional games again.
We lost too many to this fucking cancer

Disregard that I suck cocks

I agree

I hope they don't go down the moeshit route. If there's one thing that Treasure has stuck with during all these years is their original off the wall art styles.

rsg is pretty much moe from the 90s.

Lol not even close.

Agreed fellow goon.

Yes it is. RSG uses the obvious Obari influenced animu designs of the 90s.

No it doesn't lol

It does if you actually watch anime and aren't a goon.

Why haven't I heard of this before?

I am a goon actually, you found me out. I have no less than 3 SomethingAwful accounts and we plan raids daily against this place with the sole purpose of pissing off some random weebs on an obscure forum by using words like "moeshit". And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling weeaboos and your moeshits.

it did. it's even parodied in this 10 year old image. You don't know what you're talking about and are probably one of those people that thinks all anime post an arbitrary date is bad.

All anime has always been bad, except for Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion of course XD

>>>/somethingawful/

He's probably a Toonamitard

80s a best

...

What's a toonamitard? I don't watch your modern moeshit.

(You) are.

60's and 80's are truly god-tier

Uh no? I don't watch toonamitard.

70s is the best

Sure.

Same.

But all moeshit is bad and pedo and only Cowboy Bebop is good. that's a fact.

It has helicopter boobs too.

Alright >>>/reddit/ that's enough.

The thing is Treasure were an independent company. They had a relationship with Sega but were platform agnostic, hence why they made games exclusive to certain systems that were competing with each other.

Shut up goon.

何?

Are you the faggot that pretends like waifu and otaku bait doesn't exist?

Waifubait doesn't exist.

I meant pandering

No such thing exists, all anime is made equal.

I know. I meant they could have commissioned them to make a new game or maybe even do their version of one of Sega's unused IPs, just so we'd hear back from them sooner. Although they're really not the ones that would make Sega that much money.

>Yeah, had Yu Suzuki in mind when making this thread; hope Shenmue III isn't a total bust. If only Sega had supported them more instead of being a bunch of fags.

...

Yeah sega sucks.

Don't try and argue with the autistic weeaboo.

Cartoons are not the same as anime.

RISE!! OH ONCE GREAT KING RISE!!

Touché

And, I take that back. You…are an idiot.

Never mind, I can't resist.
They certainly are the same, anime is just Japanese cartoons.

...

...

Unfortunately this is the most likely outcome.
All of the japanese kickstarter projects still haven't been released, where the fuck is my La-Mulana 2 Nigoro?

80's aesthetic objectively the best, has the best indication of depth.

00s a best, only toonamitards like the other ones.

We have IDs here

Yes?

THANK FUCK
I was just reading yesterday about how they might have been fucked by Gaist Crusher having lower-than-expected sales into becoming an IP licencing company. Few companies deserve to live more than Treasure. They might not make the most technically impressive games in this day and age, but they never fail to make a game that's fun.

Don't be such a worry-wart. Mighty No. 9 came out, after all. :^)

this. I am beside myself right now.

Who celebrating

This looks like vomit

Oh shit I better tell her before we get to prom

...

80's and 90's are the best general style of animu, absolute fact.
Anyway I look forward to this. Hope it's on PC because the most modern console I have is a wii that doesn't even display in color anymore for some reason (it's not the cables, apparently it's a known issue).

>yfw Mischief Makers 2

What art-style does Shining Force have?

No. New games would be nice. No more sequels. Treasure are bad at sequels and they go against their original philosophy and reason for existing in the first place.

fucking GREEN NIGGER

Why does it look so blurry?

Either my camera or my TV
Looking at it I think it's my TV maybe if I up the SHARPNESS

It's my TV

I'm not too sure how pointing out that Steam is DRM and how much I don't appreciate them fucking over Ikaruga with it constitutes "console war faggotry", but this is the kind of abusive censorious crap that people found intolerable on half/v/. If you could go deal with all the Holla Forums garbage on the catalog instead of harassing people in video game threads that would be nice.

Or is criticism for anti-consumer bullshit no longer allowed here? Please let me know if so. Please tell me if this board which came directly out of a consumerist movement is now a Valve Apologist Zone.

God this game fucking rules

Why not celebrate with one of Treasure's actually good games?

play alien soldier next

I just did but if you'd like to make an assertion about the quality of game I just played I'd love to talk about it

I fucking wish man. I need to get a repro I missed out on getting one at the Portland retro con a few years ago and haven't ordered one since

Treasure games are too hard for me and S&P2 is too long.

then play midnight resistance or twinkle tale next

Always had a hard time pinning down what I disliked about Gunstar Heroes (minus specific complaints) but a couple years ago it finally dawned on me that it's basically a euroshmup made in Japan.

No, it is. Just not in the Treasure thread.

Please make sure to be less casual in the future, user.

Treasure has engaged in anti-consumer behavior, therefore they are subject to criticism.


Try the original Sin and Punishment. I really wish they had split 2 into two games. It's full of great ideas but blows it in the end by being far too long for a single-credit arcade playthrough.

Yes, but steam is owned by Valve. Not Treasure.

more like too short.

do you have like a pateon i can donate to?

I don't think I've ever even seen someone on Holla Forums complain that a game is "too long" until now.

a game being too long is a legitimate issue. you really only need enough time to effectively explore game mechanics through the games design. RDR was an example of a game that was too long. Mexico had no place in the game and should have been cut entirely.

I'm about to tear up I only own so many carts and you're reminding me why I need to invest more. I only own funstar I'll be able to pay proper tribute one day I promise

I always thought of it like a run n gun, is that what you mean by euroshmup?

get some cheap repros from ali express

By euroshmup he means Turrican clones.

I fucking wish there were any Turrican clones on platforms other than DOS, not to mention Gunstar is as far as you can get from Turrican

There is a Turrican clone for Neogeo

I still find it a somewhat despicable business practice to release exclusive games on a dead expensive platform and profit entirely from collectors who will buy any new game for that platform

Don't worry, it's also available on Dreamcast :^)

>>>/suicide/

Will investigate. I appreciate the tip

I'm not so sure that's what he meant

And the decision to use Steam DRM is a decision free to every developer and publisher.

I mean it has some of the hallmarks of design often found in Euroshmups, in particular a health bar and sections (especially on hardest difficulty) that feel like you have to tank damage to progress.

So is the decision to crack it
Enjoy your ban

You can complete the game in Expert without taking damage if you are some sort of god.

then explain this Expert No Damage speedrun

user…

Fucking kek

Interesting, I'll give it a watch.

Coincidentally this was also uploaded today, hopefully SWFs aren't still broken

...

Fuck I knew I was doing it wrong I totally forgot you should be throwing Green's stupid faggot ass then maybe I wouldn't feel the need to insult his name so much

Yeah could you maybe not post absolute trash. Thanks.

You just don't get to be picky with porn flashes, you take what you can get

marina doesn't look like that.
There we go.


you could just not look at porn. It is pretty disgusting.

Flash porn is for dorks

Or I could take none of it because I'm not 12 years old anymore

Take that back you no taste faggot

thats the worst game with marina in it

Shake Shake

This game plays like trash.

90s gave us shit like the angular moeblob trash seen in Radiant Silver gun

You expect a Toonamifag to know about shit like Saber Marionette?

Hey fagolas i remember i saw an OVA about a girl in a Red/Blue skintight suit, this was in the 90s and i taped it into a VHS but i lost these, and now i can remember the name of the anime, this is an /a/ tier post but i don't wanna deal with these autismos

Are these pictures supposed to look bad?

Look at that face son
Designs were angular for the sake of being angular
80s best, always has been

modern day is the best tbh

You realize that pic is from an anime deliberately trying to be 90s right?

no, the 90s one looks very different.

Ahhh no.

No, no it does not.

Modern day anime design is garbage and most shows look like garbage after it went completely digital.
The color pallete and the actually proportional bodies make me rock hard for a reason.

Yes

Mischief Makers
Gunstar Heroes
Wario World

he says as he posts two images with notable aesthetic differences

Yeah, you really shouldn't be there.

Nigger the only differences are cleaner backgrounds and flatter coloring, and that's just because it's made with digital help instead of the old hand made style.

>>>/cuckchan/

yeah its almost like it drastically changes the feel of the images

Potatohead.

>>>/cuckchan/

Wario World is dreck, that one's not open for debate.

she is a bit fat, isn't she?


what are you trying to prove here?

Barely. They have the same coloring and designs. It's just a little cleaner now, you blind nitwit.

the point is, we're at a great point in time where a variety of interesting styles are coexisting with a variety of tastes being catered to and a lot of visually interesting things. This past decade it's been difficult to really pinpoint a distinct aesthetic style to what's been going on in anime.

It's not very hard at all. Pic related. Most things that aren't heavy deviations like JoJo or PingPong, fall near this style.

HI
>>>/cuckchan/

and most anime has historically not really been worth the time of day, what's your point? That there's a lot of not very good shows produced that are visually lazy? That's been true since forever.

You're at a point in time where made in abyss, mahoujin guru guru, osomatsu-san season 2, princess principal, all came out within the course of a few months.


thats right, I'm a 4chan infiltrator ;)

Might as well be considering how passsive agressive you are.

I'm here, infiltrating, and all you can do is passively post boards you made at me.

Considering all their faces look like they're in a constant state of melting, yes user they do.

No wonder all your opinions througout this thread are shit.

What if I like that?

there's nothing wrong with it, but these characters have some really weird looking pudgy faces.

You like shit design and lazy artists

I'm trying to prove that soundless webms are gay

Why would anyone buy into white nationalist lies?

You earned that, you retard.

light crusader is good you absolute memer

They've made like two sequels ever. I never played Gunstar Super Heroes, but Sin and Punishment 2 was a good game.

Please off yourself.

then save this and post it in repsonse next time you see a soundless webm

F

...

Don't ever spend money on kike collections, repos and flashcarts are at a higher standard than collectorfags.

HAVE A
ROTTEN
DAY

You have developed tastes beyond human. Whether they are super or subhuman is up to you.

Bump

It's total dogshit.

your post is undeserving of those repeating numbers

Guardian Heroes and Bangai-O also received sequels.

It's not angular enough in my opinion.

HEEEEEEEERE'S LUNAR

Jesus christ its this faggot again

(checked)
Where is the second from?

How were those?

Don't own a 360 but it looked good, the DS Bangai-o i have no idea about, but Guadian Heroes advance is shit and translated by ubisoft, who's so awful at that kind of shit, they could be handed an already completed translation with minimal effort required on their part, and yet still find a way to fuck it up.

Sin and Punishment on HD consoles would be amazing honestly. I'd love that
