It's a huge disappointment, that's what it is.

>Have to crouch to forward dodge.

>Ending tries to be meta but fails.

The only thing good about it is the gyrating and it was one of the largest warning flags about Capcom.

Unique

Kinda shit, actually. Aside from the sexy animations, the emphasis on getting style points/combos kinda makes this feel like a boring on-rails shooter. Boring because the environments are so bland, it hurts.

One of my favorite games of that gen. Love the aesthetics and sound. But you have to get the hang of it, treat it like a sort of dance game, you move precisely as the game expects you to.

I like it quite a bit!

Know what this game is? It's yet another hastily patched together release that didn't get enough time to fully blossom into something worth playing that was created for the sake of completing Capcom's contract with Nitnendo. As it is, it's merely mediocre, and it's sad because this game had potential to be something great.

This is one of those times where a sequel could've fixed some of the issues with the first game, but that shit'll never happen.

>sequel

A good chunk of the developers later went on to work on Vanquish.

>>14702348

That kinda reminds me of that Aeon Flux game.

Yeah, I remember playing this back in the day. If you like the facade of a game with in-your-face booty shakin', this is the game for you.

>>14706249

its like prince of persia mixed with some french faggotry

>>14702348

Generic corridor shooter

So, did you intentionally try to introduce the topic like ass autist, or is it really just a coincidence?

>>14706259

plus a very late 6th gen aesthetic. Not a particularly good game. A real average experience.

People expect a fish to fly and think it's a shitty game

Product Number 3 is a game that the director shinji mikami purposedly limits your movement speed in order to create a balanced gameplay experience that consigns with the level design and enemy design. Don't compare it to other games, see it for what it is.

It's a fun game and made with quality. Short and Sweet. Definitely something people should have on their backlogs. Easy to emulate too.

>>14707086

You sound like an advertisement.

>>14707114

show boobs

>>14707114

You make it sound like you're sarcastic. I can't take anything you say seriously.

considering alot of this team went on to platinum games later on, I assumed that Vanquished had the gameplay they wanted to pull with this but they didn't have the money or the budget.

>>14702348

>What is this game?

Trash

>How do you describe it?

Shit

I remember back when Capcuck announced this game, and soon afterwards when it came out everyone shat on it. I figured they had to over-exaggerating as the game looked like it might be a short sweet arcade style shooter, but after playing last year, yeah it's not good. You do not make a shooter game, no matter how "rhythmic", with stiff limited controls and in narrow, copy pasted grey white corridors only to shoot down the same generic robot enemies. It's so aggressively subpar and mediocre in the worst way, in that it's not even so bad you laugh at it or remember how ungodly shit it is; it's just really forgettable, boring, and frustrating to where you hate that you wasted time playing PN03.

>>14702524

>>14702532

>>14707086

You all need to play more shooters and take the nostalgia dick out of your asses. PN03 fucking blows.

>balanced gameplay experience that consigns with the level design and enemy design

You're right, broken controls in reused bland environments really go together well.

>Don't compare it to other games

Typical millennial faggot participation trophy thinking here, kill yourself please. The game is a shit shooter even on its own terms.

>made with quality

Its tiny budget wasted on polygonal shaking asses really shows that.

>Definitely something people should have on their backlogs

If your backlog is for sleep inducing kusoge, sure.

I got this game in a Gamecube torrent and didn't feel it at all. Good to see that it wasn't just me.

post more of her ass though

>>14707114

Well don't get high off your own supply, anon.

Reading up on it, Vanquish took some inspiration from P.N. 03, but that's where the comparisons begin and end.

>>14709546

Are you talking about Tales of Symphonia? I thought that did get a PS2 port? Or was it PS3?

>>14719643

>I thought that did get a PS2 port? Or was it PS3?

The PS2 port of ToS came out a year after the GC version, and it was remastered and bundled with it's sequel for the PS3 release.

>Are you talking about Tales of Symphonia?

I think he's still referring to P.N. 03.

I liked it quite a bit. It's basically a 3rd person shmup. I 100% the game, the last suit is godly.

>>14708228

This is the most homosexual post in the entire thread, congratulations.

The game is not a third person shooter, it's a Time crisis third person with spot dodges

You're comparing apples to oranges and unable to grasp the limitations of the games

By your logic Mario 64 is shit because you don't have guns and swords on it.

Funnily enough the only millennial is you, who lacks the perception to judge the game correctly. You're a two digit IQ retard if you don't know the difference in genres and what standards should apply where and when

The meta of this game is dodging, not damaging enemies. It's a Dance, the enemy's HP bar is just how long the dance lasts.

I'm not saying this game is a must play right now, but it's short and worth a playthrough.

>You're a two digit IQ retard if you don't know the difference in genres and what standards should apply where and when

Except I do, Capcuck

>You do not make a shooter game, no matter how "rhythmic", with stiff limited controls and in narrow, copy pasted grey white corridors only to shoot down the same generic robot enemies.

The game needed better controls first and foremost, and the bland environments didn't help.

>By your logic Mario 64 is shit because you don't have guns and swords on it.

No, if Mario 64 had shit controls, it would be shit. Which pn03 has.

>Funnily enough the only millennial is you, who lacks the perception to judge the game correctly.

>judging a game by how well it plays

>not correct

You sound like a faggot who was given this game when you were 8 and forced yourself to enjoy it since you had nothing else to play. It's objectively mediocre.

>The meta of this game is dodging,

And it's meta that's shat by bad controls and poorly designed cramped levels.

>worth a playthrough.

If for knowing how not to design a shoot dodging game, yes.

>>14727369

>The game needed better controls first and foremost, and the bland environments didn't help.

<IGNcube: There seems to be a split of people who enjoy the control setup in the game and those who don't. Why did you decide to go with this type of configuration for PN03?

<Hiroyuki Koboyashi: It's not a simple button mashing game. You have to think, strategize and time the enemy patterns before attacking. It's a shooting game where you have to dance like a butterfly and strike with a vengeance.

>No, if Mario 64 had shit controls, it would be shit. Which pn03 has.

The only thing that's "shit" about the controls is the camera, and I've only encountered one room where it is a problem

>You sound like a faggot who was given this game when you were 8 and forced yourself to enjoy it since you had nothing else to play. It's objectively mediocre.

I actually found it to be quite arcade-like in it's gameplay.

>And it's meta that's shat by bad controls and poorly designed cramped levels.

You do realize the lock-on and sounds alert you to where enemies are when they're going to attack, if you don't see them. And, there is the "Save my ass" mechanics called the "energy drive", which can knock out 2-4 enemies upon execution.

>If for knowing how not to design a shoot dodging game, yes.

That's because you don't know how to dance.

>older games' mechanics used in newer games

>sources of inspiration can be easily traced back to their origins

Deepest fucking lore. I love it when you can easily see where the inspiration has come from.

It's the same with Zone of the Enders 2 and MGS4. Jehuty has an enemy ring around it to show you how close enemies and projectiles are, and Snake has the same enemy ring around him when he sneaks around. Inventing mechanics and reusing them; this is the fucking essence of perfecting your games.

<That's really not a good excuse. Some fantastic games have been made in that same time frame.

It's like that anon said, you're comparing apples to oranges when it comes to this particular game, and that game you're referencing is a fucking nintendo bit game

>some fantastic games

>being this vague and overreaching
