@Andee
Yes I came here to say that too.
Or a re release of the ps3Xbox 360 version of Daytona.

Sega really is quarter assing it with these anniversaries.
If it aint Sanic or the Megadrive, they dont care.

Drama, drama never changes.

Even if he kills the entire thing, somebody will fork it and cal it Goose station or something.

And even then, the originals are still floating out here.

...off course int plays Doom.
What doesn't play Doom these days ?

A potato can run it.

@Razieluigi

Get yourself a cheap Japanese Saturn
Kit it out with a Pico PSU and a Saroo, and youre good to go.

I'd prefer that Sega takes note of this and the demand and actually releases something like that themselves.

Instead re re re re re re re re re releasing the same tired megadrive games collection.

...like that will ever happen.

@Bunkerneath
Install an adblocker instead and tell all the ads to take a hike.

@-wc-

Most normies are too dumb and/or lazy for that.
They just want to turn the device on and start using it.
Anything else is "eh effort"

Drama, drama never changes.

Thats all i have to say really, gaming social media is becoming scummier
From infighting, to death threats to outright lying and stealing.

There is a reason why I don't have an social media garbage.
And i think i am better off for it.

And as usual a couple of unhinged vocal loonies have to ruin it for everybody else.

Robocop 3 was acclaimed ?
On what system ?
The megadrive and snes versions were garbage.

And now the phone needs to be restored.
It seems only right.

@sdelfin
Other cards worth considering are the venerable Geforce 1080
And if you really want the RTX route the 3000 series is the way to go because its not too expensive.
For RTX cards anyway.

I use a 3060 12 gig and so far I am quite happy with it.

@sdelfin

If your requirements are moderate you can manage with a Geforce GTX 1060 6 gig version

The GTX 980 which stil in some strange way holds its own

or a ATI Radeon RX 570 or an RX 580.

The Geforce 1660 managed to run Cyberpunk 2077 for me.

None of those should break the bank.
The RX 580 is one of the better budget cards especially at 8 gig.

@Axelay71
And just to be sure , here is the UK ps3 system software.
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/

I don't know if it makes any difference, but might as well use the right software for the right region.

@Axelay71
The SSD install is dead easy.

The only other thing you need is a FAT 32 usb stick with the ps3 system software on there
Boot your ps3 with the SSD in there, it wil go in to recovery mode, and asks you if you want to reinstall the software.

And thats pretty much it.

I put a SSD in my ps3 mostly because of FUDD.
I'd rather play of a brand new SSD then a 750 gig HD that may or may not kick the bucket one of these days.

But games do benefit from the SSD
Gran Turismo 6 for example loads 30 seconds faster, even if it's still a full minute till you are in a race, from boot.

@Axelay71
I got a gaming PC with an RTX card and I dont really care about all that technical hoo-hah.
All i want is to be able to play my games hassle free.

Games shoudl just have good gameplay we keep going back to older titles because they weren't whored out to death.
Now all you do is buy the framework and are expected to cough up more for less and buy the DLC's
( ie the Sims 4)

It's all so very tedious, and I find myself caring less and less and just firing up games from the 360/ps3 era which is more then 14 years ago now.
( good lord)

My ps3 is kitted out with a 1tb SSD so its good to go.
Shame you can't do that with a xbox 360.
Or can you ?

@Dramlin @UK_Kev

This thing is a vaporware grift, no more no less.
If they actually show something hands on on a gaming convention then things might be different.

But the SMACHZ had working "prototypes" too.

For people wondering about that disaster

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A-qRbsazQw&pp=ygUGc21hY2h6

Not as deranged as the Amico which actually did release ...something, but still.

@StyrofoamCup
For me its the port of Samurai Shodown that shows what the 3DO can do.
And its still one of the machines better games.
If one doesn't mind ports the 3DO has a lot to offer.

@Axelay71
And gamers need to stop being mindless cattle.
The corporations keep getting away with their greed because gamers especially normie and casuals keep letting them get away with it by hoovering up all that's tossed at them.

And buy the DLC, and sink thousands in to micro transactions.
People keep buying the same garbage over and over on a yearly basis.

Its not just the corporations fault we keep letting them get away with it.

Somethig about this thing just feels off.
Can't put my finger on it but its feel like another SMACHZ debacle in the making.
But ive been proven wrong before.

None of these games do anything for me, but it's cool all the same they are there.
Blaze at least seems to give a damn about games and gaming.

I would have preferred Sega to put some actual effort in the anniversary.
An actual mini Dreamcast console.
Figureines or another DC game collection.

Anything but this low effort token gesture.

That is great news.
Some games like 40 Winks are diabolical to play with a D pad.

@Bod2019
Gaming has been going to hell in a handbasket for the past 10 years or so, getting worse every year.
With always online DRM,
Peace-meal predatory DLC,
Tacked on multiplayer garbage,
Predatory Micro Transactions
Unnecessary remasters and remakes of games not even 5 years old.
Games as a service.

The industry has become predatory, all it cares about is sucking your wallet dry, not delivering a good product.

It has come so to pass that retro gaming is starting to stop being a nostalgia throwback.
And an actual viable alternative to modern gaming.

This is a retro gaming website after all.
Currently I'd rather play on a Xbox 360and deal with all the bloom, then the garbage of modern "gaming" .

The PS5 Pro is going to cost 800 Euro in mainland europe as well.
Without disc drive.

And the 3DO actually was the latest and greatest in 1993,all the ps5 pro has to offer beyond devouring your wallet, is an iteration on the standard ps5.

And an LGR vid about DC Dork Norkem in 3 2 1....

This is actually one of those handhelds I might want.
Great form factor, huge screen.
Not gonna grab it at that price though.

Great another bloody one.
It uses the GB form factor and ...that's all I have to say about it really.

This handheld bus is getting really really crowded.

My nostalgia glands are not activated, though I am somewhat amused by the idea of trying to power a Hyperkin RetroN or Megadrive clone or Snes Mini via this thing.

Not 60 bux worth of amusement though.

@Deuteros
Powerbanks are just huge rechargeable batteries you carry with you for your phone or tablet or other gear that uses usb for power.
Nothing more really

This one just looks like an Snes.

Somebody tell Ashens about this.

@Lorfarius
Probably not.
Even the "bigger" third party ones at 1 whole MB tend to be paged in 4 blocks

Nes and Dreamcast ?
That's a bit of an odd pairing to develop for.

Bit steep.
But I have 8 VMU's they all beep at me, and they are fiddly and a hassle.
Wouldn't mind a newer solution so maybe I will try and grab this down the road.

Are these actual physical buttons connecting through blue tooth, or just pass through buttons hammering on glass ?

Cause if its the latter, it aint worth even a fiver.

@Gs69
Struck out with the Action Replay.
I decided to just go with the VGA patched version floating out around there.
Less hassle cause the quality of the hyperkin HDMI adapter is pretty good.

There is a version you can burn to disc to play on a normal Dreamcast.
The video quality is rougher then 1 grit sandpaper.

@Steel76
This is the third handheld featured on this site in a single day.
This niche isn't crowded anymore it's congested.

What a bizarre object.
This really is a "solution" looking for a problem.
The N64 stick has a lot of issues but snapping off during transport of dropping it is not one of them.

Well it looks cool, but that's about all i can say for it.
The fact that this is the SECOND handheld reviewed today just shows how crowded this market section is.

@Gs69
Yeah, I know about the patched games, it just strikes me as weird as having to resort to "copies"when you got the real thing.
Mind you I have to do that with my import copy of Sega Smash Pack, it refuses to boot.
The copy ? that boots just fine.
Bloody thing.

I have an Action Replay, I'll give that a try, and let you know.

Cant say i disagree with Mikami about Remakes in general.
He doesn't want to revisit games he did already, cause that just means retreading the same old ground, and stagnating.

And gaming is already stagnating quite enough as is.

But that doesnt mean somebody else at Capcom can't tackle a remake of Dino Crisis.

Or at least put together a Dino Crisis collection.

@jesse_dylan
Yes that seems the perfect middle ground.
Sweet home is more then 30 years old and it feels it, but its also so monumentous it needs to be played by a modern audience.*

So remastering the original, giving it an English translations, and modern amenities seems like the way to go.

• Alone in the Dark is in the same boat.
  A hugely influential title that created survival horror, but it's aged horribly.
  Th graphics are laughable, while the controls hover between jank and alien.

And like any family reunion the punches will fly sooner rather then later.

Especially when they start arguing about who said what on the last family reunion twelve years ago, and who was promised the silver after auntie Fio got gunned down again.

And Terry has always been the face of SNK Fatal Fury Predates KOF by 3 years.
SNK is just honoring their roots.

Sega licensed the looks of the Dreamcast out then ?

This is til my go to reaction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79QxturUolo

There are so many of these damn things now it's hard to keep them apart.

@PopetheRev28
I got one of those Hyperkin HDMI converters, it fools the Dreamcast that its running from a VGA box.
Everything looks fine, the image is razorsharp.

However cause its being duped in to thinking it's running on a VGA box some games won't run, cause they aint VGA compatible.

Tis a bit vexing.
Any problems like that with the scart cable ?

@KingMike
You mean this one ?
https://nfgworld.com/snk-neo-geo-cd-pad-review/
Thats a way better controller and the one I prefer for my Neo Geo CD.

That was almost too easy.
One of the controllers i got wrong ( Neo Geo) I got no excuse for, I own one of those bloody arcade controllers.
I just dont like it very much.

23/25

@-wc- More like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79QxturUolo
There are now so many of these damn things it's starting to get silly.

Excited is a pretty big word, but if this game is ever released and goes for a decent price i'll happy play it.
In the mean time i should play Parasite Eve again.

Release a NEW Jaguar you bunch of crowdpleasing cheap no risk taking tarts !

Off course a sodding 2600 would sell its the 2600.

As for this thing, very much pass, just a cheap muhstalgia grab, of a console that was dead on arrival in 1986.

I generally cant get excited for anything Atari unless its a jaguar or Lynx.

At this rate Nemmie will come collecting in October.
His calendarnating skills aint too best though.

Of the three classic ps1 Resi Evils I always liked 2 the best, bigger world.
More secrets, more types of zuvembies* to blow up.
More gross monsters to tackle.
More to unlock.
And the N64 versions is one of those amazing impossible ports.
A great version of a great game.
