There are prices to set for entry, specific rides, and different stalls - you can even charge for the bathroom and jack up ATM fees if you’re feeling especially avaricious. My first blank piece of property required a lot of time and loans to get rolling, but I eventually hit a critical mass where my annual profits were nearly enough to tear everything down and build it all over again. My annual profits were nearly enough to tear everything down and build it all over again.The economic side of Career and Challenge has some depth, but isn’t particularly difficult and eventually becomes irrelevant once you have a profitable park chugging along. Sandbox is just Challenge mode with money turned off and everything unlocked, allowing you to build whatever you please however you please and pay all of your janitors $1,000,000 a year. The main value I found in them was seeing some detailed parks created by the developers, which opened my eyes to the kinds of crazy stuff I could make with the tools available to me. Career is a series of scenarios that I didn’t find terribly interesting, in which you take a pre-built park and spruce it up to complete a set of objectives. Of the three modes, I mostly played in Challenge, which is the closest to classic tycoon games in that you start with nothing and build a park brick-by-brick, but are beholden to loans and a budget and must spend cash to research things like new stores and coaster designs. And it’s kind of a bummer when a fantasy roller coaster game’s algorithm punishes you just for going big. Comparing my designs to the pre-made coasters that were getting riders, the only significant difference seemed to be size. Even if the Excitement heatmap said that more than half of my track had an Excitement rating above 10, even if I switched out the slow cable lift with a linear synchronous motor launch - at great cost - to minimize the time spent getting up the first hill, I’d often end up with Excitement ratings below 1. ![]() My first designs had a maximum lateral force of 48 times Earth’s gravity.While my first couple designs had some admitted flaws, like a maximum lateral force of 48 times Earth’s gravity, even my later, more refined designs ran into issues where I couldn’t seem to make the Excitement level go up to save my life. The problem I kept running into, however, was that building an ambitious supercoaster almost never resulted in anything anyone wanted to subject themselves to. For example, you can view a heat map that displays, track segment by track segment, which parts of your coaster are getting your guests pumped and which ones are making them spew a deluxe caramel sundae onto unfortunate passers-by down below. And to Planet Coaster’s credit, it gives you great tools for determining where these ratings are coming from - at least in theory. Fear is more of a balancing act where you want to have some, but not too much. Each coaster, once tested, is given ratings for Excitement, Fear, and Nausea. It gives you great tools for determining where ratings are coming from.To a degree, it makes sense. There was just one problem: I could build the coasters of my dreams, but that didn’t mean anyone would actually want to ride them. And every coaster also comes with some pre-made loops and turns I could mix in, resize, and reposition. I had full control over the slope, turn, and bank of the track, allowing me to create just about any shape I could think of. ![]() There are 28 distinct types of coaster to start with, from wooden to chain-lifted steel to hydraulically launched, each with different behaviors and track restrictions. The coaster editor may be the best example of Planet Coaster’s spirit of freedom and experimentation.

The film was nominated for two Academy Awards at the 1994 ceremony: Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Song. Sleepless in Seattle was released on June 25, 1993, to positive reviews, receiving praise for Ephron's writing and direction, as well as Hanks and Ryan's performances. Several of its most pivotal scenes were filmed on a former naval base due to the city's lack of sound stages, including a recreation of the Empire State Building's observation deck when the New York skyscraper was not available. The film was shot mostly in Seattle during the summer of 1992. Although both Hanks and Ryan had been favored for the lead roles from the beginning, several other actors expressed interest in both parts, while Hanks often disagreed with Ephron over his character's material. Ward and Ephron were among several writers hired to re-write the script into a funnier film, with Ephron eventually being promoted to director once Nick Castle departed over disagreeing with her comedic approach. Foster strongly believed in the film's potential but struggled to get it made by TriStar Pictures for several years, finding its emotional script promising but unsophisticated. Arch submitted his script to producer Gary Foster in 1990. Several studios rejected his script, deterred by the idea that its main couple does not meet for nearly the entire film. Inspired by the romance film An Affair to Remember (1957), Sleepless in Seattle was conceived as a romantic drama by Arch in 1989. In addition to Bill Pullman, Ross Malinger, and Rob Reiner, the film features an ensemble supporting cast also consisting of Rosie O'Donnell, Gaby Hoffman, Victor Garber, Rita Wilson, Barbara Garrick, and Carey Lowell. Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the film follows a journalist (Ryan) who, despite being newly engaged, becomes enamored with a recently widowed architect (Hanks), when the latter's son calls in to a talk radio program requesting a new partner for his grieving father. ![]() ![]() Sleepless in Seattle is a 1993 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Nora Ephron, from a screenplay she wrote with David S. ![]() Any chance I got to invest in improving my car on the magnetic card we used to store our data was one step closer to me getting better at the game I fell head over heels in love with. I remember becoming exhausted in no time because of how fast-paced the game is as I crashed into every corner, all while my friend and I laughed our butts off at how much fun we were having.Ī year later, when I was working my first real job at a construction site, I’d spend part of my meager high school money and drive over to the nearby Crabtree Valley Mall for a couple of hours on the weekends to get some time on the Initial D Ver. I begged my folks to take me there on weekends just to play. My next time playing Initial D wasn’t until early 2004 when I visited Adventure Landing in Raleigh, North Carolina, and discovered it had Ver. Because I got more into anime during my sophomore year of high school and found out about the series, I had a vague knowledge of the franchise. I played a few races, and got my first card. 2 game front and center at the arcade entrance, and I hopped on. While I was wandering around the mall waiting for my friend and her mom to meet up with me, I saw the Initial D Ver. I fondly remember first seeing Initial D at a mall arcade in Massachusetts back in 2003. ![]() Whether or not I knew it, this began my life-long love of racing games, solidified many years later with what became my main obsession: Initial D. As the sequel to the much-lauded Chase H.Q, it was the slickest game on the floor. I grew up playing arcade racers at fun amusement joints and in the dark corners of smoky bars, and my first such memory is of playing Taito’s Special Criminal Investigation. Racing games in arcade cabinets have been around since the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, and have evolved over time for the better. When it comes to arcade racers, there are a plethora of them to choose from. What makes this series so interesting and great? I fully believe that without Initial D arcade games, Initial D as a whole would’ve faded many years ago. ![]() I f you were to ask me, “so what is it about Initial D that you like,” I’d say the Initial D Arcade Stage series is what truly defines my love for the franchise. To me, Initial D is broken up into three main aspects-manga, anime, and arcade-and the arcade scene is where I remain a fanboy of this series. If you’ve been keeping up with these Initial D articles on GUG, this is the article that means the most to me when it comes to Initial D fandom. To me, I still feel that line deep inside the recesses of my heart whenever I sit down at any Initial D arcade cabinet, ready to challenge any opponent in the digitized world of tōge racing. To people who play arcade games, this was how they lived their lives in the days of their youth. If there is any precious memory I’ll hold onto from the otherwise lame action/street race film The Fast and The Furious, it is this line Vin Diesel states to Paul Walker in the final quarter-mile drag race. “I live my life one quarter token at a time…” – Vin Diesel, The Fast and The Furious …paraphrased ![]() Super-soft jersey A touch of stretch for added comfort Tight fit. ![]() They swam against the current, but in the end they were sunk.

It was originally planned to be, but the development team “ decided to move the game in a different direction ” and develop an action-adventure story which can be enjoyed in single player or co-op.Īccording to the game’s website, it will also have a “multiverse lobby” – effectively a social space in which players can chat with one another, listen to music, and watch movies. Despite initially being marketed as an MMO, DokeV won’t be a massively multiplayer title. What you’ll be catching are based on Dokebi or Dokkaebi – deities or spirits from Korean folklore.ĭokeV is being developed by Pearly Abyss, the studio behind the MMORPG Black Desert. Those allies aren’t your standard pocket monsters, however. Think Pokémon, but where fights play out in real-time action where you get stuck in alongside your various creature companions. What is DokeV? In DokeV's battles you'll team up with captured Dokebi to take on more powerful creatures.ĭokeV is an upcoming open-world creature-collecting action adventure. Rather than spend the time scratching our heads since then, however, we’ve rounded up all the available details on Pearl Abyss new title. When the DokeV trailer dropped as part of Gamescom 2021’s Opening Night Live show, we were equal parts impressed, intrigued, confused, and terrified. A standard that Pokémon isn’t quite living up to.Don’t worry, we didn’t really have a clue either. But because DokeV has shown an innovative spark of possibility that may well set a new standard. Or because DokeV is a guaranteed success. In 2021, Pokémon, in its current form, should be concerned about DokeV. As a result, they’ve lost the need to innovate because the market was theirs. ![]() And let’s face it, Pokémon hasn’t had any serious competition for years (hey, Digimon). But with a lack of real competition comes complacency. The real shame is that Pokémon could quite easily look as visually awesome as DokeV – if they really wanted it to. ![]() While it’s too early to tell if DokeV really has what it takes to supplant Pokémon as the king of creature-collecting, it certainly has potential. Credit: Pearl Abyss Will DokeV be the next Pokémon? But if DokeV musters up some exciting looking critters alongside its flamboyant and fun open-world, Pokémon should be worried. Luckily for Nintendo, Pokémon retains the edge there for now. So, it’d be a shame if Pearl Abyss didn’t have more up their sleeve on the creatures front. That said, there’s no doubt more to come from DokeV. And ultimately, if you can’t match Pikachu and Charizard, you’re facing an uphill battle. While DokeV‘s world looks great, the same can’t really be said for its creatures… At least not yet.īased on the short glimpse we got, they lack the creative umph of Pokémon. Of course, I will reserve final judgement until Pokémon Legends: Arceus is released, but it seems destined for “meh”. And while diehard fans will always get the new games, it doesn’t entice anyone new. But, fundamentally, it hasn’t kept up with the times. Why, with all the money and success Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have made off the back of the series, they aren’t producing a game that looks even remotely close to DokeV is simply baffling. Pokémon Legends: Arceus looking distinctly “meh”. There’s just nothing about it that screams “next-gen”. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, an open-world action RPG, coming in January 2022, is perhaps most in line with what DokeV will be. I’d go as far as to say it looks like one of the most “alive” and vibrant worlds I’ve seen from an open-world gameplay trailer. Whatever your thoughts on its kid-orientated approach, its open-world is incredibly impressive. Credit: Pearl AbyssĭokeV has, without doubt, set a new graphical benchmark for the genre. However, anyone would struggle to argue that, technically speaking, it has improved in parallel with gaming hardware. Yes, improvements have been made to that trusty Pokémon formula over the years. But it has arguably fallen into the same formulaic rut that has trapped other long standing franchises like Call of Duty and FIFA. They have even described it as “a creature-collecting open world action-adventure”, which is pretty much Pokémon‘s whole schtick. And developer Pearl Abyss may very well be striving for DokeV to be the next Pokémon. Dive into a gorgeous and lively world where Dokebi and humans live side-by-side!
