So all those games that people never finish, you might never have to download the final levels in the first place?

Blur toggle is apparently due next week.

1.0.2 will probably hit next week on around the 21st, and that'll include an accessibility toggle to disable the blur, along with the next sweep of high-priority quick fixes I can stuff in. This will likely also include more camera angles for create-a-birb (so you can clearly see all the clothes/decks).

Quoting: EnikoThe game doesn't make this clear but the level image you see when you open the pause menu has little blue and yellow pips on it that tell you where missions can be had.

Ah, cool, thanks.

I'll likely wait till they've fixed the blur before I go back to it; it really makes me feel like I've forgotten to put my glasses on, which is really distracting.

OK, so I bought it, and I think it is quite similar in feel to THPS. Using a PS3 controller it's got the same button bindings even if it's showing Xbox button names. The DoF is horrible, and it could do with a visible marker to find your mission-giving chum. You can liptrick and manual, but you can't pick which trick you're doing with the d-pad. No reverts, either, although IIRC those came in with THPS3. I don't like that you need to fill your Tricky meter before you can make jumps rather than just building up speed from the ramps. You can't hop onto some rails till you've filled up your meter. Level design so far isn't as good as THPS, with lots of rails into walls rather than flowing lines.

The reviews haven't been terribly kind, highlighting the same issues as Liam, but they've apparently sold enough copies that they have a plan for future development. DoF is specifically mentioned as something that they're going to let you turn off soon. Hopefully they'll manage to get the feel of the physics more comfortable before they switch tracks to new content.

Quoting: CatKillerHave you played THPS? If this game has the same slightly floaty physics and slightly stiff camera as that, that would be a good thing; if it's weird in a different way, that would be a bad thing.

It feels nothing like THPS.

Ah. That's a shame.

For how tight and small the areas are the speed, controls and physics just seem all out of balance. I can't put my finger on exactly what but I didn't get along with this one which is a shame.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSo it sounds like RetroArch is only the Windows version in Steam? That is... unfortunate. I would think they would have put all platforms in there...

RetroArch itself, PCSX ReARMed, and SameBoy list Linux support. Whether the others are a labelling oversight, or reflective of issues determined during the playtest period, I couldn't say, but I expect the rest will list it too, over time, either way.

Quoting: ArdjeHow do you hide games? Asking for a friend ;-).

Right-click on game in Library -> Manage -> Hide this game.

I got my Steam account on the PS3 when a friend wanted to do cross-platform co-op of Portal 2. I didn't buy anything on Steam till they released the Linux client. I bought a bunch of games then because they had a big sale on Linux titles for that first week, but the first one was Serious Sam 3.
