Shakedown: Hawaii

I had a good time with Shakedown: Hawaii. It was a fun, mindless, early GTA-like that was visually gorgeous and a pleasure to play. It didn't overstay its welcome and I had fun doing everything (except the rampage missions, which didn't interest me). A very pleasant surprise since I wasn't nearly as warm on Retro City Rampage.

Ya gotta love early SNES demo/homebrew productions. Improperly initialized OAM, failure to set object sizes correctly so bad it flickers, disregard for objects-per-line limits on top, improper blanking of tilemaps (I think it hit active display around halfway through and further writes were blocked until it hit vblank again)...

I dunno about you but I love this shit.

"Final Insect" by Taurus is not a Super NES demo. This is a ZSNES demo. It'll only run correctly on incorrect emulators.

[asspull3x]

Just found a way to eliminate the need to run the IMF player sixteen times per frame just to get the speed near-correct, since the only timing system readily available is VBlank:

Instead of playing music files meant for 560 Hz, convert them to 30-something Hz so you only need to update once per frame!

The only downside is that Catris can no longer speed up the music when your stack gets too high by changing the number of cycles from 16 to 24. Because there's only one cycle now.

Oh well. Win some, lose some.

And of course we do have ample ways to do that conversion, considering 560 Hz is only for all but one of the 2D Apogee/iD games (the exception being Duke Nukem 2), and the 3D games (Wolfenstein and its ilk) run at 700 Hz, and YET we can import music from say Commander Keen into Wolfenstein and have it sound correct!

So why not convert from 560 to 30?

RETRO CITY RAMPAGE

Retro City Rampage is an action-adventure game developed by Vblank Entertainment. It is a parody of retro games and 1980s and 1990s pop culture, as well as Grand Theft Auto and similar games.

The game is inspired by Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto games, in that the player can complete a variety of missions within an enormous city that is open to explore. During development, around 50 story missions and 30 challenge levels were planned. Gameplay elements shared with GTA include the vast assortment of weaponry, the miscellaneous shops, the ability to hijack vehicles, and the ability to attract police attention with violence and destruction.

Once you reach level 5, agents will now spawn, wielding a wide arsenal of artillery.

#Shakedown hawaii 3ds cia update#

#ShakedownHawaii's July update will add tanks!! Coming to all platforms including #3DS. Alternatively, after purchasing the prison, a tank will appear parked out back on the left side of the building. To get your hands on a tank or bulletproof SUV, take your shenanigans to a level 6 and survive long enough to hop into one, then park it inside a garage to save it for later. PC keyboard players can choose to use either the Arrow Keys or WASD under the options menu. You can rotate the turret with the Right Stick / C Stick, and fire by pressing either the shoot button, or by clicking the stick (R3). from the pistol to the hair dryer, to the flamethrower! The tanks crush anything in their path, and come loaded with built-in rockets and unlimited ammo! Want to equip them with something else? No problem! They can also fire your character's other weapons. Tanks are finally in the world of Shakedown: Hawaii.

#Shakedown hawaii switch update

I liked the freedom of the right stick, and using it made some of the missions feel like a bullet-hell arcade shooter as I could aim in all directions and dodge bullets comfortably. Shooting works in two ways to suit player preference by offering either a lock-on button or use of the right stick. Driving can be fun, even though I can’t see as far in front of me as I can with the over-the-shoulder perspective found in regular third-person action games. The open world is enjoyable to move around in. I hate to keep referencing GTA, but I was impressed to see this little indie game loaded with the same kind of features and content. Each character’s haircut and clothing can be customized, including the disguises they wear during missions. Aside from the story and building up the business, there are side missions to tackle along with plenty of shops to visit. This aspect of the game is something I have only dipped my toes into but seems worth exploring beyond the completion of the story. Perks such as lobbyists, unrefined product, fine print, unnecessary expiration dates, and more can be applied to each property you own. Throughout the story, you’ll be buying plenty of subsidiaries to grow your company, including coffee shops, auto shops, and a soft drink brand, along with many others. There is so much to do in Shakedown Hawaii, and it is not limited to causing chaos.Ī unique feature within the game is the ability to buy businesses and properties to lift the company out of bankruptcy. Some of the pettier crimes involve shaking down stores or robbing people’s homes to take their goods to a pawn shop. Some examples include destroying delivery trucks to weaken online shopping and sabotaging your competitor’s hotels. You’ll be taking missions from various members of the company and causing chaos throughout the world. Missions usually boil down to what is expected out of this type of game. When changing characters, the camera even zooms out just like it does in GTA it’s admirable how closely they were able to mimic that feature with the 16-bit style. Gameplay alternates from the perspectives of the CEO of Feeble Multinational, his son Scooter, and the company “consultant” named Al. The old-school GTA-like open-world gameplay is still here too, but with a new feature straight from GTA V. While the graphics move from the 8-bit style of the previous game into the 16-bit era, the light cover system, lock-on, and ability to jump on the heads of enemies are still present. As a washed-up CEO of a failing company, players must employ these modern tactics for the company to succeed. It makes fun of modern marketing trends such as five dollar coffee, online shopping, loot boxes-the list goes on. Retro City poked fun at all things related to retro pop culture, but Shakedown Hawaii takes a different direction and targets modern capitalism. Shakedown Hawaii is not a direct sequel to Retro City Rampage it is a completely new story. Language: Only the word “do*chebag” is present. Many missions in the main story will have players committing acts of robbery, burglary, and vandalism.Īlcohol/Drug Use: One of the characters mentions that he once used illegal supplements and steroids. When shooting, hitting, or running over a person, no blood is shown but cries of pain can be heard. Violence: In Shakedown Hawaii, players use a variety of firearms and melee weapons against civilians and police while causing destruction to the city. Though it has twice the bits, is Shakedown Hawaii just as good as the indie dev’s previous work? Content Guide The humor also makes a return but has a different target in its line of sight.

#Shakedown hawaii switch update

That same open-world action is back, but with a graphical update inspired by the 16-bit era of the Genesis and SNES. Vblank Entertainment is at it again with a follow-up called Shakedown Hawaii. Plus, the Grand Theft Auto-inspired open world and 8-bit aesthetic provided plenty of entertaining moments. As many times as I’ve played it, the best parts were its humor and on-the-nose references to all things retro. I’ve played it on the Vita, 3DS, PC, and even the Switch most recently. Whether it be through a direct purchase or a Humble Bundle, I somehow have acquired it on almost every platform. To be honest, I can’t say on which platform I first played Retro City Rampage. Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch (reviewed), PS4, PS Vita, 3DS

Who knew that Axiom Verge wasn’t the last Wii U game to get a physical release? I thought it was... until now!
