God Hand

[fishbowlhead]

Can you imagine a dev trying to get that tv add approved now days?

So what happens in the add?
Err, well, were going to get a half naked guy to spank an annoying young woman on her mobile, and he has a big fist over his face, cause you know, he's the god hand.

what happens in the game?
Well you can also spank people in that too, but its super hard and controls like a tank.


Dont make em like they used too, never will again either. Gotta love clover, so much talent.

Some of that spanking made its way into Bayonetta too. Those ex-Capcom guys make some of the best games ever.

Nope I'm guna have to go through this now again, it just won't do not being played.

Just an advance warning that the PAL PS2 version via PS3/PSN download looks like bums.

How much does it resemble 'bums'? So bad the ?3.50 odd looks like poor value?

[MrKirov]

Play it in 4:3 instead on widescreen and it doesn't look that bad?

['Press Start']

(along with Bishi Bashi Special )

. Next gen what?

[speedlolita]

There were 3 releases of Bishi Bashi Special in Japan.

Need to get me those. Shame Funland closed, they had a Bishi Bashi machine near the beatmania mini cab.

There is a bishi-bashi in Soho. There is an arcade there.
I thought the EU bishi-bashi was a compilation of the JPN ones.

Vegas?

Probably the one from Funland.

I doubt I could ever label God Hand poor value, especially not at that price, and having done a bit of background reading online, it seems there's actually some quite favourable press for the emulation. Digital Foundry report some slowdown in places, but are otherwise speak quite highly. It's entirely possible I was doing something daft (as per Kirov's suggestion), so I'll retract my statement for now. It has now been elevated to 'not bums'.

Which arcade is this? Guessing Las Vegas as Speedy suggests.

I used to hang out on the other side of Funland mostly, loitering by the ID 4 cabs and the GHOST Squad machine. Yes I like ID 4 yes I'm a terrible non-hardcore person. I was gutted when they upgraded their GHOST Squad to the later version (with the gold marquees - Extend? Extreme? Something like that) and put a nail in the IC card slot

All that progress for nought

On topic, I would like very much to play God Hand. I might get the PSN version, but would rather get sorted with an XRGB at some point as there are a few PS2 titles I want to go back and run through.

I hear the sequel will be called Bono Hand.

[speedlolita]

Don't worry Wakka, I like ID 4 too.
