Oh, yeah. And here's my controls idea.
My controls idea:
D-pad up: forward
left: slide left
(and you get the picture with that)
Touch Screen: Has the a mini-map and it controls the ship. Touch buttons for weapon select. Touch button to drop proxmine.
Left trigger: Primaries
Right trigger: Secondaries (use pinkey to hit)
gamesas! Hear me out!
Here's what XA Hydra said:
"Alright. I've played DScent with a homebrew flash card. And played. And played. And played...
It's freaking incredible.
gamesas, somebody- ANYBODY. If you are reading this forward it to whoever you have to. Please make a DS port! The homebrew is in ALPHA stage, and it totally rocks.
Moreover, with the added CPU brawn and 4x the RAM, the DSi should easily run Descent II like a charm.
Shoot- why not just combine the two and give a lot of people a reason to pick up their next DSi title?
There are tons of people on homebrew DS forums not only lamenting that the guy (kayvenm) that ported D1 has disappeared, but additionally that if gamesas would make an official port they would all run to buy the svcker.
- Some suggestions - ( yes my opinions only )
Have control schemes, but also let the player configure it the way they like as well. ( i like using L and R to slide left and right, B accelerate, Y reverse, A prim. weapon, X secondary weapon ) Weapons selection, etc are done on the touch screen ( this works excellent in DScent )
Wifi/online multiplayer !!!!!!!
Some kind of connectivity to download new and custom missions ( could the DSi SD card be a venue? ) I understand that these endeavors are usually not designed around the old school and hardcoe, but to load some old custom missions or make new ones in devil, miner or mission builder would rock! You can load em in DScent ( they USUALLY work )
Anyone who is with us for the DS - help us with the cause!"
gamesas, if you get the marketing correct with a bunch of comercials on TV and such, this would attract people back to the original games on the computer maybe. All this is is just a simple port for an old game. If some guy with out a big company backing him can do it, I'd bet some big company can do it.
If you do come through with this, watch out for Nintendo!
