So after completing my first game in 6weeks for uni (to an extent, still lots of bugs)

(Shameless plug, http://www.killer-byte.net )

I plan to make another one, but with some fresh ideas, id prefer to make a shooting game but im also looking into the iphone/android side of things..

What are some of you guys favorite games and why?

What makes it appeal most to you?

what do you think makes a game "fun"?

Immersive, player driven story.

Multiplayer / Co-op

Graphics and audio that isn't necessarily top of the line but well tested.

For mobile games it's pretty much shiny things + addictiveness that gets sales or remakes of classics that can run on slower hardware. I don't play mobile games.

agreed with the mobile games, smooth animation helps a lot with aesthetics, as long as it has an addictive concept, you pile on 200 levels and have a killer game (no pun intended)

take angry birds on the iphone, huge seller and very addictive, yet a hugely simple game as well as having nice smooth gameplay.

i tell you what.

i give you an idea that will make you crap yourself.

art thou ready?

okay.

sidescrolling fighter. so simplistic. so hard to beat. so much fun

think double dragon meets street fighter. in a cartoon 2d environment. think 8bit music. think cutesy cartoon graphics. but think voilence. think easy. yet think nearly IMPOSSIBLE to beat. think no plot at all. if there is to be plot. think an easy yet random one. like some mobster guido stole his 240Z. and he has to fight 10,000 other guidos to get it back.

think three lives.

think wooden crates. baseball bats with nails hammered through them. think broken legs. think knives. think denim jackets with sleeves cut off. think a boss level with a fat black dude wearing a wife beater. think henchmen dieing with four punches.

...but make sure you keep those 16bit cartoon style graphics. but make HEAPS of colours. and shading. so that it still has a hidef modern sheen to it.

uniquety in imitiation. that's what the f*ck i want to see in a game. a game that's SO HARD TO PLAY it makes your hair turn grey.

yet it's so easy to get so friggin far in it. that it's enough to keep you hanging on and loving it.

it needs to be a character that's charming as all hell. someone so quintessential of their own stereotype that you just want to BE him.

FPS.

Current day weapons, no WWII crap and no futuristic laser weapons.

Multiplayer.

Multiplayer.

I prefer to shoot real people that have the potential to rage, as opposed to battling bots.

Think COD4+BC2.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
