Any games out there where the playable character's anatomy isn't human or humanoid? Games that will also let you explore, walk around, and navigate 3d environments or 2d backgrounds as that very character?

I can't think of that many myself. The Okami games, Spyro games, partially in Twilight Princess, that dumb Goat Simulator, and that upcoming fighting game, Them's Fightin' Herds. That's about it.

Thanks so far, guys. These all look like interesting games so far imo.

It was just a little strange for me to realize that after decades of video games and playable characters, so few devs branched from the norm of using the usual "humanlike" character model. I think that every once and a while, a character with nonhuman anatomy might be a interesting change of pace.

Also, I just remembered about those genesis Ecco the Dolphin games. And I guess that experimental Noby Noby Boy game as well.

Aliens versus Predator 1 & 2.

3 campaigns, each with its own playstyle.

Marine plays like a regular shooter with a horror element and tense moments.

Alien gets to scale walls, roof and vents. Asymmetric gameplay.

Predator plays like a tank, having to utilize your weapons for specific situations.

Spore, for all of its faults, has an incredibly detailed creature creator. I've managed to make very appealing humanoids and other times downright retarded animals with 12 limbs and 2 mouths. This is what your looking for if you want non humanoid protags. The game is trash, but I still like it.

Who can say at this point anymore.

It's been over 4 years now and development is still very slow. I'm still surprised that they managed to get the talented Lauren Faust (MLP Friendship is Magic's creator) onboard to help with the character designs and art direction. And that they also managed to get the license to use the Skullgirls' fighting game engine. It has all the potential to be an amazing game, but the devs appear to be moving at a snail's pace.

It has no relation to MLP other than looking similar. The game was originally a MLP game until Hasbro fucked it over, though. Lauren Faust heard about it and designed the main 6 characters. It's quite a nice story, and the game is indeed looking good, at the very least.

they made an announcement

http://archive.is/gu426

>So, for many reasons, Feb 2018 will be when everyone can buy and play TFH. Why has it taken so long? Mainly resourcing. Which is a PR way of saying: Jay causing bottlenecks by having way less time-on-product than was needed, team members who we thought would be working on certain parts have had to work on other parts while still needing to work on the first parts, something very scary about accountants, the personal lives having hiccups, managing the closed beta. Many things.

But Dragon Ball FighterZ release date is on February 2nd, I hope M6 is going to change the date again, the game is almost done except for the animation holes, placeholders and the future DLC character (a goat), 90% of the actual gameplay stuff is confirmed to be final

I was going make a thread about that game but everybody gets mad every time the game is posted, for some reason everyone in ((((the chan atmosphere)))) hates the game, that's why the game gets zero following here

Just to shill the game a bit more, if you are interested in more gameplay you can check the Fightin' Fœnatics channel on jewtube and Twich, they make weekly streams

I doubt they are aiming for a serious Fightan scene or something of the sort. At this point, I'm sure they they just want to be done with it.

>I was going make a thread about that game but everybody gets mad every time the game is posted

>for some reason everyone in ((((the chan atmosphere)))) hates the game

I've never seen that besides the "MLP IS SHIT!" shitposter, if something, the game looks good regardless of origins, I also can see people hating it for using the Skullgirls engine. As for not getting following, is MLP, so you'd obviously see people going at it even though the game have little relation to it at this point.

If you're actually interested with people reaction on the game, try posting about it in the fighting games general.

>>14025341

>posting about it in the fighting games general

The people in that general are already as informed as they're going to be. The prevailing opinion is "it looks cool; I'll buy it if it's good" and the relatively minor gameplay adjustments made recently aren't enough to provoke much discussion.

There the Mega Drive/Genesis game The Ooze where you control a scientist who has been turned into a puddle of ooze.

WiiWare title Fluidity/Hydroventure and it's 3DS sequel Fluidity/Hydroventure: Spin Cycle have you controlling a puddle of water that can change it phase to ice or gas. While the first game it's just a generic bunch of water your controlling, the sequel actually make it's a water spirit named Eddy.

Geist for GCN was a FPS that has you playing as a ghost and go around possessing inanimate objects (keypads, gun turrets, explosive crates, dog food bowls), animals (dogs, mice, bats) and human soldiers. To access a something "live" you have to scare it first, so usually posses an inanimate object than live object, Eg: possess dog food bowl, make food fly out at dog to scare it, possess dog, get to next area of base.

I'm talking about the following here, but that's reasonable for an indie game still on development made by literally who's

Most of the pony fandom is not interested on the game because it's technically is not pony but the game has its own niche audience

the game is also banned on halfchan, and no one on /mlp/ is interested /pone/ could be interested but the board is dead

They aren't, its just the camera.

Am I the only one who absolutely despises Fighting games all about combos and shit dexterity?

I'm all for PvE brawler games or Super Smash. But I'm sick of tiring up my fingers having to memorize combos and become an ADHD maniac that knows when to block, throw, skip animation frames and memorize low, medium, high attacks and blocks.

I think this game would have been much more enjoyable as a brawler.

Skullgirls engine and the tastes of the devs being like that. Zoning is better than I thought it'd be because projectiles deal significant damage, so that's something.

>>14028680

While I personally dislike long combos, I'm not too offended by Them's Fightin Herds's system because most of the combos are very basic, just fast. I'm worried it'll be too shallow, actually, since most of the combos are ABC > Launcher > ABC > special move juggler/ground launcher > ABC > special move > super.

>I'm sick of tiring up my fingers having to memorize combos and become an ADHD maniac that knows when to block, throw, skip animation frames and memorize low, medium, high attacks and blocks.

Well, at least you're honest about being shit at fighting games.

>when to block

When you aren't inputting a motion.

>when to throw

When your opponent is blocking because you've conditioned him to forget about throws.

>skip animation frames

I really don't know what you mean here. Are you talking about special cancelling? In most games, it's just another step in going "up the chain" from light > medium > heavy > special.

>memorize low, medium, high attacks

The vast majority of 2D fighting games have most attacks be mids and lows, and overheads/highs slow enough to be reacted to or short enough they don't lead to combos. Perhaps if you got gud you might not have such trouble with it.

If you like spacing, then you can always play Samurai Shodown (2 or 5:Special) or Soul Calibur (2, personally). Yatagarasu is a more recent game with an emphasis on pokes and neutral.

>more enjoyable as a brawler

It would have been a different project, and likely not had as much success with crowdfunding. People wanted a pony fighting game like the one which Hasbro C&D'd and nothing else would suffice. I'll wait until I get my hands on it.

The new Fighting Game General thread is up. Maybe now's your chance to go ask them their thoughts on this game. Granted, it might be a fruitless endeavor in all honesty. It is a small indie title compared to the bigger fighting games after all. A small roster of just six/seven fighters and smaller damage output just isn't everyone's cup of tea. Least of all, the MLP-inspired art style which may have some anons up in arms.

While I am interested in seeing the devs pull through and making this game succeed, I also do have a "wait and see" attitude about it. If this game does come out sometime in February 2018 as you say, let us hope it was worth the wait.

They're very easy to memorize, especially if they have a juggling mechanic because you use light attacks to keep them afloat and strong attacks to conclude.
