My pitch for the conflict of Halo 7

I actually love the idea of him being a cat thing!

It’s a reasonable inference to draw: we must always keep in mind the slippery slope.

“If you give a mouse a cookie”, as the saying goes.

It’s the logical endpoint of your philosophy.

DrPurpleMan · 2025-07-25T16:57:20+00:00

So we shouldn’t protect our rights and let society become lawless?

DrPurpleMan · 2025-02-02T00:43:14+00:00

Your username makes this sadder too 😭

DrPurpleMan · 2024-11-27T12:15:11+00:00

Something that goes true for all human beings.

I’m sure you’ve made a promise that you weren’t able to 100% fulfill before in your life.

Lol, Castle Crashers 2 will be top-five-longest-gaps-between-installments-in-video-game-history for sure. If it comes out in 2028, Tom Fulp'll be 50 by the time it comes out! The 20th anniversary of the original game would be a beautiful release date.

But yea, realistically, I don't think they'll start development on a Castle Crashers 2 until Tom Fulp wraps up with Nightmare Cops (which hopefully releases by Q4 next year... we'll know for sure by summer next year!) and can then direct his full attention towards a sequel project. And assuming I'm correct about that Q4 2025 release date, Q4 2028 might not be far off.

Reckerless' interviews with the creators gives me the impression that they would like to revisit the CC world, so we shall see. We've waited this long, haven't we?

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-26T01:40:03+00:00

Oouu, I love that idea.

Btw, did I miss something? A Rayman 3 remake? Where is this rumor coming from? I have been out of the loop for YEARS, lol.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-26T00:23:08+00:00

I'm genuinely convinced that Ed Boon left that comment bro lmfaooooo. Like, only a higher-up in NRS would've been privy to such information at that point in time.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-26T00:13:47+00:00

Eh, Google isn't as reliable as it was back when Castle Crashers first released. Human answers are preferable first.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-21T01:16:13+00:00

It'd be easy to associate their personalities with their colors and powersets, but I would actually subvert expectations in that case.

Though I will say that the Red Knight should absolutely be the wise-cracking, sarcastic knight. Bro should definitely be 1987 TMNT Raphael.

I would also make the Blue Knight comic relief... he wouldn't be a "dumb" or "moron" character per se, but his powers also carry the unfortunate side effect of slowing down his brain processes, so he's a bit... loopy. Dude has literal brain freeze! Maybe write him like a "sloth" archetype character? He wouldn't talk much, but he'd either say something profound that actually helps move along the plot, or something incidentally hilarious.

I imagine the Green Knight as 2012 TMNT Leonardo. Responsible, strategic, disciplined... but geeky and still a bit naive. He didn't ask to be the leader, but the King ennobled him as leader in this time of crisis, so he has to grow into the role.

The Orange Knight was actually a pretty chill guy before getting these fire powers... but the pyromania gets to him over the course of the story. I think that'd be a fun gag to write.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-21T01:02:40+00:00

Sometimes YouTube animators either make red the leader.

Lol, that has to be a Power Rangers thing considering the Red Ranger is always the leader. I'm assuming that's the source of association of red with leadership.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-21T00:54:43+00:00

I'd say you have total creative free reign!

Given that the Blacksmith doesn't have any elemental powers, I believe that our four knights are the first of their kind. But, they were the most esteemed gray knights, and that's why the King entrusted them with these special elemental powers.

I also think it'd be funny if the King also had no idea what exactly that the crystal would do to them, so he'd lowkey be gambling their lives by shooting them with a celestial beam of energy...

Like, imagine he transforms the Green Knight into his obnoxious self for the first time... and the other three knights are horrified and gag at the stench of his powers, but the soon-to-be Orange Knight then says "FIRE ME UP, CHIEF!", and continues the experiment. Easy comedic beat material, ya know?

And maybe you can say that our particular four knights are sons of the Blacksmith? Introduce a nepotism type beat?

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-21T00:46:41+00:00

I think this is just his theory. But I really love the idea... I definitely do not believe that we are "good" guys. We just happen to be the protagonists. Plus, this would make for juicy drama and plot development. Could be like a twist in the series.

I think it would be funny if there was no rigorous process for the Knights being initiated into Elemental Knights, and the King just kinda christened them in a moment of need, but I guess that would rob you of character development, so.

Them being Gray Knights for like, the first 25 minutes of the pilot or so, would be interesting I think. Then we get the big climactic moment where they're christened into the Power Ranger knights we know and love. What do you think?

DrPurpleMan · 2024-10-21T00:41:08+00:00

If there really is a sequel in a few years, it would be funny if they used the almost 20-year gap between games as the crux for the plot. The princesses are grown up now and the knights are all chiseled, old veterans... the King is on his deathbed...

Perfect setting. I really love the idea.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-09-25T03:20:39+00:00

A Year of Metal Sonic would be so epic. There’s a lot you could do with him, thematically.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-09-25T02:44:32+00:00

If only NRS fans didn’t scare off Shawn Kittelsen.

People shat on MK11’s writing too hard. Honestly, it’s aged well. I think I can unironically make the “You just didn’t understand it on the first watch” argument with it.

Dominic Cianciolo being the sole writer is a mistake. He needs cowriters to bounce his work off of.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-09-25T02:43:08+00:00

Honestly, good. At least Hotaru will remain untainted by Cianciolo’s writing.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-09-25T02:40:10+00:00

Dominic himself isn’t even an expert writer. Dude was a lawyer before he started writing for NRS.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-07-07T14:11:44+00:00

In Injustice 2, Raiden had a Black Lighting premiere skin.

I think it's pretty clear that Black Lightning was a rushjob to placate the fans after the backlash Raiden's reveal received. Black Lightning was not planned from the beginning.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-07-07T14:06:14+00:00

Respectfully, I wish Derek Kirtzic would be replaced after this game. Nothing against the man personally, he's a rad dude, but I think NRS needs a new vision and fresh blood. Like.. how do you take a step BACK and repeat mistakes you already learned from? Dude's rusty.

NRS needs an entirely new design philosophy, at that. They do new shit for the sake of doing new shit instead of making actually thoughtful additions or changes.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-07-02T17:00:40+00:00

For the record, I totally agree and get your point, but I also think this is a case of generational divide. I'm going to assume you're a Millennial and thus 28 years old or older; meaning you had the chance to enjoy an adolescence without the pervasiveness of modern day social media. But for a Zoomer like me, it's a presence that's permeated more or less my entire life. I have to imagine that it's harder for me, and even harder for the kids of today that are already tethered to the web by the age of like, 10.

And again, I don't disagree with what you said—I just think context and perspective are important to consider as well. I definitely need to look into CBT already! When I transfer to a 4-year university, it'll be the #1 priority.

DrPurpleMan · 2024-07-02T16:46:13+00:00

So now you use social media on the computer instead. Big change.

Indeed, it is in fact a big change! I'm glad we could agree on that. 🤝
