firewarrior is great just to hear tom baker...... would love a console update to that, even if the game itself was a bit ropey it was fun. I properly pooped myself when i first took on an astartes
The concept these things would come to an end didn't register with me as a kid. I just assumed, naviely of course being a child. People would keep making games for these forever.
Turns out it wasn't totally innacurate. its just those homebrew heroes now squeezing more out of the hardware than people ever thought possible
God I hated this game in the arcades. But was equally fascinated by it and how it worked. Well either it didn't work that well or I was just crap and it ate money 😂
waiting patiently here for the day i can play all the rogue squadron games on my current consoles.... My problem with them always was the janky controls but i guess being a x-wing series verteran i was always playing with that flight model in my head. Was always very jealous of gamecube owners. except the gamepad.
stuff like this always carried a mystique to it back in the halcyon days of 80s/90s childhood gaming. you'd be incredibly fortunate back then to get a home micro, sega or a nintendo.
Done! and thanks for the headsup. That was a bit of a faff though. I went around in circles at least 3 times and had to wait for an element of the website to load. Thats on GOG of course.
Not competing but how about a request for our TE overlords? How about an article comparing the different flavours of ridge racer that's been released. And also the other ways you can play it? That is the original ridge racer I mean. Though confusingly isn't there a ps portable version that was like a remaster before this? See! Confusion! 😂
i played the trailer for this over and over from the OPSM disc just to listen to 100 mile high city by ocean colour scene. Then i ripped it onto a tape.
This might be an old school or "dad like" attitude (despite being childless) But the attitude of doing a ***** job on a purpose is poor to me. He could have made a banger of an album that out lived the game. And it could have become as good as some soundtracks that outclass the film/game/tv show they are in.
Its like the parcel courier booting your parcel over your fence because they hate their job.....
@Guru_Larry I totally agree with this. Because it's one sure fire way to flush people out into the open and then maybe square things off legally....
It's a bit like an abandoned pub in my hometown. It's a mess, it's a menace, it's been set on fire once. Nobody knows how owns it. Whoever it is they don't seem to care. I've suggested the council just start to knock it down because that would surely get the owners attention..... 😃
I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 90s version. especially after Raul Julia stole the show. a fun villain and all played while the man was slowly dying.
@slider1983 I've really not minded them at all. Their jedi outcast version finally gave me an enjoyable way to play it. I had a GameCube copy but the controller is awful to me. I could just about run the pc version but controller setup was problematic. So I appreciated it personally. I just find it odd how the games are scattered about different remaster devs.
But definitely I wish nightdive could have done em all ha
@slider1983 the cleaned up version I had on my pc was great. Big chonky razor sharp polygons. But I loved it for that. Even if they just dumped that onto consoles it be great. I mean aspyr did jedi outcast and that played just great on my ps4
if memory serves..... my uk copy of gran turismo was all english. but it was one chonky boi with all that information on driving skills etc. x-wing and tie fighter games were deffo chunky too with the novel / strategy guide included. not forgetting the fold out keyboard mapping. bliss.
It almost feels to me like night dive can do no wrong these days. Their work on many games I loved has only enhanced them. Inhold the dark forces remaster in massive high regard because it was one of the first pc games I ever owned and learned how to install and setup successfully. And dark forces 2 jedi knight was pretty much the bookend of my pc gaming as our family pc couldn't handle much more than that. A remaster would be excellent. Especially if it involved community's and individuals who have already done some remaster work. I played a version on my pc recently which was pin sharp. And being able to use a modern controller made it all the more enjoyable.
I'll take that or DESCENT next. And I do know about DX rebirth etc. but it's more fun and comfy playing on my consoles on a big tv
I was born less than 20 minutes from wake in one of the other five towns. Parents still live there and I'm a proud Yorkshire lad of course. And super proud of the legacy of gaming. I think I might be home that weekend!
