Question regarding the Switch Eshop and DLC
FlipMode replied to Awesome Sauce's topic in General Discussion
In short: yes it'll work on all profiles on that console. The Only limitations are: 1) your account must be activated on that console, if you activate your account on a different console, the games and DLC you purchased will only work on the console your account is activated on and you can only be activated on one at a time. 2) if you ever removed your profile from that system, all other users will loose access to the DLC and games purchased by your profile. -
What Spring Anime are you looking forward to?
FlipMode replied to Wan_Pisu's topic in Poll of the Week
PERSONAAAAAA -
Really enjoyed that. Looking forward to reading more. Interesting characters, I'm curious to see what their relation is to the other characters and events. Other than a couple of grammatical errors that threw me off, this is really good stuff! Keep it up. Also I did mention it in your introduction thread and as I predicted, your story has been featured on KH13 community Twitter. Good start!

New member here, but certainly not new to KH!
FlipMode replied to Ancapikitty's topic in General Discussion
Nice! Welcome to KH13. Sounds like we will get along well. I am on and off with the series too but definitely excited to finally see this series I have been following for so long reach an ending. Other than that I pretty much use it as an outlook for creative writing too. You'll be pleased to hear that there is an active community for RPing as well as fan fic writing here I've recently submitted a couple of mine and am working on in my spare time currently too. The cool thing is that, if you put work into it, sometimes KH13 features them on the community Twitter page and that gets them a lot of extra exposure. Good luck with your writing endeavours, I will look forward to reading your work, and have fun! hope to see you around. -
Who Is Your Favorite Sonic the Hedgehog Character?
FlipMode replied to Ventus_'s topic in Poll of the Week
None. I like the games but literally every character has moments where their personalities just totally change. Like Knuckles used to be this chilled dude who was smart but just wanted to punch things and that quick anger got the better of him. I would have totally like had a drink with him while discussing how real hip hop died with Biggie Smalls. But now he's just the idiot character. Shadow had an interesting back story. And then they actually explained his back story and it wasn't. I do think Chaos was the best villain though. If a game makes you feel a little sad for a giant water serpent monster that just destroyed an entire city in under 1 minute then that's saying something. I felt bad fighting him in the final battle. And also that fight was incredibly impressive visually for the time too. Haven't played any of the newer games though, the series lost me at Sonic Heroes. -

Interest Check: The Haunted Hijinx (Mystery/Comedy Original RP)
FlipMode replied to kingdomhearts45's topic in Roleplaying
I would need to think of a good fitting character if we are using characters from established franchises. Sounds interesting though. -
2.8 Frame Rate / Lag / Stuttering
FlipMode replied to David Buchwald's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Because it is rendering five frames, they just get duplicated each time. This way you get a smooth transition between them. So when that duplicate frame is missing, the next frame appears faster than the one before it did and the game seems to lag as a result of the sequence being broken. If you listen to one song four times, you've listened to one song not four songs, right? Same thing You're seeing the same frames twice but of course this all happens in a fraction of a second, the result is a smooth transition, the hardware had enough time to render and display the next frame. When the frame isn't duplicated, the next one appears too quickly, the picture appears to suddenly jolt forward. Another way of looking at it is that if Aqua and Terra are both walking, taking one step a second for ten seconds, every step Aqua takes takes her 1 second to complete, every other step Terra takes only takes him 0.5 seconds to complete but they both still only take a step every second. The result would be they walk the same distance and the same amount of steps, the only thing is that Terra's animation would appear janky and laggy as you see his leg suddenly jolt forward faster than the previous one. And yes as far as I know BBS 0.2's cutscenes are all running in the game engine so you'll experience it in both. Except for the into cinematic which is of course pre rendered and the console is just playing it back As far as PS4 Pro goes, that's really up to you. on vanilla PS4 you have frame pacing bug but it does run a steady 30 FPS for the most part. On Pro you still get slowdown because the game runs at 60 FPS unlocked, so the frame rate is usually closer to 45-50 than it is 60 and that sometimes can cause noticeable stutter too. But I do think these issues will be fixed for KH3 There's no denying the PS4 Pro will play the game better but that might just be 4K resolution. We really won't know until the game is out. I say stick to your normal PS4, try KH3 when it comes out, if it runs like ass then either get Pro or wait for the PC port. But I can't see Sony letting KH3 release with performance issues. There's a lot riding on this game for them too, a lot of people got a PS4 for this. -
2.8 Frame Rate / Lag / Stuttering
FlipMode replied to David Buchwald's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Without getting too technical and boring you half to death, frame rate is the rate at which frames are being rendered and displayed. Frame pacing is how fast within that second all those frames are being rendered. And if you're interested in the more technical side of it, read on Let's use an example and say Horizon Zero Dawn as you mentioned it. That game runs at 30FPS (Frames Per Second) . 0.2 also runs at a frame rate of 30 FPS on vanilla PS4. So then why does it seem jittery and appear to be lagging? Well that's where frame pacing comes into it. 5X6 = 30 So for every 1 sixth of a second five frames are being displayed. Now what happens is each one of those five frames is duplicated to give a smooth look to the animation otherwise it would appear way too fast and jittery. In 1 sixth of a second these are the frames being displayed with good pacing. 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 5 - 5 Each one is duplicate once to keep a consistent smoothness. Now with pacing issues you might have a chart which reads something like: 1-1-1-2-3-4-5-5-5 The 2nd and 3rd and 4th frames are not duplicated like the rest. The result is that those frames are displayed for less time than the others, thus the "lag" that you are experiencing with 0.2. The reason it's happening in 0.2 and not say Dream Drop Distance HD is because 0.2 is using a new game engine and the code may not be as well optimised. It is a demo after all. The good news is that this is an issue that developers can fix. And I'm sure SE are working on better optimisation of the new engine for KH3. -
Thank you to the community team for featuring my new fan fic on the community Twitter. Had a rough and stressful day today but that made me smile to see that.

2.8 Frame Rate / Lag / Stuttering
FlipMode replied to David Buchwald's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
I think it's related to the bad frame pacing more than the actual frame rate. -
Yeah I thought it was a port when I first saw that teaser trailer but then after the fact I thought that actually its a brand new Smash game. honestly I think I'm equally excited about Smash Bros on Switch either way.

What was your favorite news from the Nintendo Direct?
FlipMode replied to Wan_Pisu's topic in Poll of the Week
Becky lemme smash Yeah Smash Bros was my favourite announcement, another step toward making the Wii U completely irrelevant. Other than Mario 3D World and the Zelda HD games, I think literally all the Wii U games I ever played are on Switch now. Honestly if Smash Bros just has a couple of new characters I will still buy it and play it a lot. Love those games. I'm also glad that Crash N Sane is finally coming to other platforms as well. That's a good fit for the Switch I think. Blast a few relic trials while on the bus or w/e sounds good to me -
Let's not do that today.

Kingdom Hearts: Return To The Pride Lands Chapter 1: Return “Woah...” The only audible sound he could make as he looked in wonder at how beautiful the Pridelands had become since their last visit. Gone were the barren browns they had known under Scar's selfish and neglectful reign. Replaced now by lush grasslands, calm and rippling rivers and all teeming with wildlife. Antelopes hopped merrily along their way, birds flew majestically in the sky which was now a vibrant blue, the sun lighting up everything that existed underneath it. Sora had been to many Worlds on his travels, but this one was one of the most invitingly peaceful he had ever seen. “Looks like Simba is doing a really good job!” Donald said, energetic and happy as he flapped his wings every now and then to regain height when gravity started to pull him down, flying just above Sora and Goofy. “Ya Huh” Goofy agreed, how could he not? Although the weight of his shell he used to shield himself in these lands felt heavier than usualy in the sunlight. “C'mon! Let's go see him!” Sora said. Motioning his head toward Pride Rock, which was just in the distance. Standing tall as the landmark of the Pridelands, casting a shadow around anyone who was near it. As the three of them made their way toward the structure, Donald was enjoying the breeze that came with his light weight in this World as he flew laps around Sora and Goofy. Goofy waddled along at times, but he also would bring his neck inside his shell, spinning along the grounds so he could travel easier and faster and keep up with Sora and Sora himself felt the worst of it, his mane and all the rest of his light brown fur drew the rays of the sun to him. “Look! There they are!” “The heroes of the Pridelands!” “Mummy can we go and say hello to them?” The voices of the animals both young and old that inhabited these lands swirled around as the trio passed. Word had spread of their arrival and the kingdom was humbled to have them visit again. Getting closer the Pride Rock, which was now enormous as the three were dwarfed by it, Sora wandered what had happened to the hyenas and the heartless. A lion with tanned almost orange fur with a red well groomed mane that covered the outsides of his face and rounded his neck and tipping off at his chest was joined by a young adult lioness with light brown fur and yellow eyes with striking blue iris. “Sora! Donald! Goofy! Its great to see you!” The lion said as they stepped down from the monument to meet the. The lioness smiled at them, she hadn't spent as much time with them as Simba had and she hadn't joined them for the battles but she had them to thank for helping to get Simba to return to the Pridelands in the first place. The three of them bowed their heads in respect to the royal couple. “Your majesty.” The three of them said in unison. “Oh come on. You guys know you don't need to be so formal around us.” The lioness said back to them but she respected them for doing it anyway. Sora laughed, partly to break the awkward moment of silence and partly out of pure joy, after all it was amazing to see how much Simba had grown and changed, transforming the kingdom along with himself. The five continued to talk and exchange laughs as they stepped up Pride Rock, reaching the peak of it that stretched out from the King's den. The view was a stunning one, the savannah seemingly endless in front of them, even the barren gorge where the tragedy of the great Mufasa took place was now teeming with new life. The hyenas allowed to live there in peace and while it wasn't what they had in mind, it was better than fighting for scraps in the Elephant Graveyards. The downside of course is they had to vacate it when the herds wanted to move through, a fair trade off they all had agreed to. In the midst of the joyous reunion, Sora had forgot to mention why they were here. Until Goofy bought the subject up. “Gawsh Simba, its great to see you all again but we noticed darkness in this World. Do ya have any idea where that might be coming from?”Perhaps the organisation were somehow present in this World. Or Maleficent and Pete had returned. Simba looked off to the East, to the place where the colours stopped and murky browns, rocks, hills and barely any signs of life seemed to be present. While they shared the same sky, they did not share the same destiny. It was hard to believe this was a part of the same World, the contrast as Sora looked from those lands to the magnificent ones in front of him was almost sad to see. “... That would be my best guess.” Simba said reluctantly. “The outlands.” “The outlands?” Sora repeated it back to him. The king's blue red-billed hornbill and Majordomo for the royal family, Zazu was perched on Simba's broad shoulder blade. “Nothing there but a bunch of back stabbing outsiders.” he hissed the words out. “Zazu's right. You can't trust them. They were banished to the outlands for continuing to follow in Scar's plans.” Scar, now there was a name that bought with it a sense of dread and anxiety. Images of his namesake, that scar that tore through his eye, came rushing back to Sora. “And worse yet. Kiara seems to be involved with one of them somehow.” Simba continued “Who is Kiara?” Donald asked Simba. His voice was always loud in any conversation among all others. “Princess Kiara.” Zazu smiled a proud smile. “Uhm, princess?” Goofy was the first to realise what this meant. Simba nodded and smiled “My daughter.” There was a brief moment of silence but it was sharply broken “DAUGHTER?!” Sora and Donald both shouted it at the same time. The rest of the gang couldn't help but laugh at the shocked look on their faces.

Film Christopher Robin Official Teaser Trailer
FlipMode replied to AwesomeKHfan's topic in General Discussion
Another day another live action Disney movie remake teaser. As with all the previous ones I think it looks great. The live action movies are a bit hit and miss for me but the ones I have liked I thought were really good. Also the teaser was just super cute and gets you in those ways that only nostalgia can. ;A; -

Fan Made Kingdom Hearts III Screenshot (Surprise!)

That is so cool. I could totally see a Frozen World working in KH3 if they did decide to do it. I feel like the new graphics engine would be a pretty good fit for it. -
Xehanort Story (Pending a better Title) Hey guys. Well since the story I shared here a few days ago seemed to be well received, I have decided to stick around and will be using KH as a platform for creative writing practices and for fun while I do so. Anyway onto the plot: This story revolves mostly around Young Xehanort, covering the time from when he was on Destiny Islands, he trains with the only other teenager on the Island he is friends with, a young Lightning. Leading on to his meeting with the Xehanort Heartless who tells him of his destiny. Arming him with the No Name Keyblade and the black hood that will aid him in his journey through the darkness. He tells Xehanort about his future self, the plan to fill 13 vessels to clash with he seven pure hearts of light and create the X-Blade to unlock Kingdom Hearts. The story will then become more action focused as Xehanort moves through the Worlds searching for the 11 (Himself and Master Xehanort being the other two) splintered versions of Xehanort's heart and has them meet at their fated destination (The World That Never Was). Characters Young Xehanort Young Lightning Xehanort Heartless There will be more characters needed to be introduced as the story progresses and Xehanort travels from World to World of course. So who is down to clown and wants to help me get the ball rolling with this? Reply or PM and we can discuss character selections. I'm open to ideas and suggestions too. I want this to be a story we develop together.
