Post clones that were superior to their original games.

For example, Road Rage mogs the shit out of Crazy Taxi

Superior to Ghost'n Goblins

Cold Shadow was way better than Earthworm Jim

>>11863038 (OP)
it's the same game without the twitchy hardcire mechanics

I like Simpsons Road Rage a lot. It was one of the first PS2 games I played. I like that you can choose what to unlock and all the Simpsons references are on point.

Better than Crash

I never got the appeal of road rage over Crazy taxi, crazy taxi just felt smoother, while road rage felt sluggish, and is basically carried by alright simpsons jokes

Crazy Taxi has this soulful soundtrack

Road Rage is not even a fraction as good as Crazy Taxi. You must not have played very much of either game if you genuinely think it's better.

>>11863038 (OP)
I bought road rage thinking it was hit and run and when I found out it wasn’t the same game I was pretty let down.

What is this retardation? They share nothing but the gothic setting, dingus. It's closer to Ninja gaiden than it is to gng.

Everytime an OP makes a "mogs" thread, you can easily ignore it. What a pathetic excuse of a thread

>>11863038 (OP)
the only way you can possibly think this is if you don't know how to use the advanced mechanics in crazy taxi
in other words, if you're hot liquid ass at the game

Arguably having a different boss at the end of every stage also. This was not a standard before GnG.

But the most obvious "I want to do exactly like GnG" give away is
>money bags for score
Very few did this except GnG.
And there is probably more I'm forgetting right now.

Castlevania also came out a few months after GnG sold a million copies on Famicom. Just enough time to see that it's topping the sales chart before starting on making the game.
Castlevania is obviously a GnG clone except that for the theming they mixed Vampire Hunter D with Hammer films. The only reason why nobody's picking up on this in this day & age is because Castlevania is still relevant while Capcom completely fucked and gave up on the GnG series in the mid 90's (even when they tried to revive it on PS2 they didn't even use the GnG name). It's also been largely forgotten how big of a deal and influencial GnG was, it's a corner of action-platforming.

and btw, the best part is that this continued throughout the series.

>GnG sequels add better jump maneueuriribility and more jumping options in general, upgradable weapons, and the ability to aim in more directions
>CV sequels also do exactly that

>>11863296
Is it actually?

>>11865873
Maximo remains one of my favorite games of all time. In fact, I just bought a new unopened copy and have a PS2 on the way. Gonna be playing it again soon

>>11865902
I love the game too, super underrated because it's simply not the type of gameplay gen 6 players wanted anymore. The sequels is just okay though, it suffers from "we want the DMC audiance" which I don't think is fitting.

>>11865884
Nah

>>11865912
Damn you had me excited for a sec.

You're gonna make SEGA cry again.

>>11866078
and people champion SEGA over Nintendo just because they don't shut down mediocre Sonic fan games as well.

>>11866084
Sometimes they do shut down fan games as well.
That whole thing is clearly a gamble they made, so they can occasionally poach talent from the fan game scene. I'm not knocking them, it's clever. They're no saints though.

>>11863038 (OP)
The GBA version of this game was so impressive to me and it's my ultimate comfy game, I still boot it up on my chinkhelds from time to time. there were few mode 7/row-based "floor rendering" games that used elevation tricks, and all of them were unidirectional racing games. this is the only game in existence i can think of that has open map exploration with mode 7 floors that change in elevation. the effect is weird as fuck and doesn't make sense from a realism perspective but it's convincing enough if you don't think too hard about it.

I mean it is better than Donkey Kong

>>11866097
Is there ev n any talent in the fan game scene?

>>11866078
Sega got a fat cash settlement from Fox Interactive for that stunt

>>11866126
legitimately more talent than the teams that did the last 3 sonic games

>>11866126
Yeah, Christian Whitehead or whatever his name is is their guy for modern ports of classic Sonic games, and he also directed Mania. He was a guy from the fan game scene.

>>11866148
but he doesn't have any talent

>>11865873
>>11865879
I concede.

>>11865873
damn i never even made the connection

>>11863296
>Better than Crash
I find that very easy to believe

>>11866126
t. hasn't played any fangames

>>11865884
No but it's genuinely good for a licensed game

>>11866414

No, I haven't. Why would I play that amateur hour shit?

>>11863038 (OP)
Better than Unreal.

Not really. It's why they rely on building off established IPs, and why early announcements in the scene are so common.
Those fandevs usually lack the talent and perseverance to actually complete a project beyond the early concept phase. They announce early for attention and potential donations from dopey nerds, and also attention and an expected C&D from the license holder so they don't have to do any more work on it.

>>11866148
Sonic Mania is bad
