Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis

Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis Jarod Reizian Frank Anyone whose played a Megaman game before knows how well structured and paced the games are, showing small conflicts and minor threats prior to combining them in crazy scenarios to keep things interesting; while simultaneously testing the player’s ability. In classic Megaman fashion the level layout is designed to introduce small obstacles in controlled environments prior to combining threats in challenging manors. You start out in a flat zone with no enemies, allowing you to push buttons and run around on your own. The first flying enemies you encounter are not only slow, but start their attacks nearly off screen from you, giving you plenty of time to see that not only is stage destruction possible, (their attacks crush bits of the floor out) but also that certain enemies are only able to be hit while jumping.

Trailer Analysis: Assassin's Creed II

The trailer I will be analyzing is the Assassins Creed 2 E3 trailer. My reasons for picking this as my favorite trailer, along with the one that I am planning on reviewing for in-class purposes are as follows: - Aesthetically beautiful - Builds and alludes to a bigger story while also focusing on the relation of our protagonist with the trailer's one off antagonist. - Actually shows off gameplay mechanics, weapons, and abilities, (such as freerunning and hiring "ladies of the night") in a more cinematic light. - We don't see our protagonist immediately, he is built up as this unseen force and therefore has a much bigger and frightening impact when we first see him tearing open a rich man's throat. - Excellent music and sound design that punctuate each major action of either the protagonist or those he is hunting. - Each shot shows off just a little bit more of the Italian renaissance world to show off the new environment the game's narrat...

Boss ideas for adventure ideas

Above is the concept that I ended up going with. A giant Archdemon with fire attacks, massive strength, and wings. 1. Archdemon (Page 1) -General Idea/Theme: Giant monster -Visual Feedback: Roaring, the environment being destroyed, After you damage his hands enough, he will be knocked momentarily down to your level so you can wail on his head and "actually" damage him. -Movement Around the Space: mostly the giant, nearly screen sized enemy smashing down onto the player -Attacks: 1: Fist Smash: Heavy damage dealing AOE attack with growing shadows to show where they are going to land. 2: Flame Breath: Patterns of DOT flames. (Different colored flames will be different patterns) 3: Portals: Open up dark demonic portals in order to spawn in random enemies. Stepping on the portals will slow players but not damage them. -Three Stages: 1: Fight on the...
