Star Fox 64 is getting a Native PC port from the devs of Ocarina Of Time and Zelda Majoras Mask ports

Looking forward to seeing more of this.
I'd love to try modding in some new levels.
The idea of porting Starfox 1 into 64 just sounds nice to me if it's possible.

Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White and Steam Deck Australia have launched
19 Nov 2024 at 1:19 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: CybolicIt looks great, but not quite as pretty as the semi-translucent black one that was exclusive to the USA. I do wish they had started out by offering that one worldwide first, but I guess that would technically be against the "limited edition" idea behind it.
I guess I'll wait for the inevitable translucent purple one :grin:
They could have made a variant of ths translucent one and I dont think anyone would mind especially for us first hour pre-order Deck owners who hadn't planned on buying anything that expensive again the year after and had to miss out.
A second chance woulda been nice.

I'd like to upgrade but not digging that color scheme enough to shell out again.

Really hoping they do a few more non-limited color ways without the FOMO and preferably a discount on fhe OLEDs in general as they discounted the LCD ones after only a year.

Valve announced the Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White

I think I'd rather have a grey one personally, maybe that SNES look a bit with the concave buttons on top.

Was waiting for a limited edition to come back but, was hoping to see the translucent one come back or a variant on it.
A lot of people wanted a white one though so should make em happy.

My first hour pre-order deck isn't holding up as well as I'd like and an OLED one is what I wanted in the first place.
Was just too soon for a limited edition one for me that year later.
Two years later it's a bit easier to accept and now they got the OLED kinks out of the way.

Hopefully the regular OLED might get a sale and I'll just get one of those and mod the shell.
That or maybe a chance to buy this one then resell it when its out of print to cut the price down for the "upgrade" and get a regular black one with the funds.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered announced by Aspyr for 2025

I own the originals on steam so I gotta rebuy these but still nice they are giving them some small updates.

Though those last two might need more than a remaster and if the originals are still available to buy I dont think anyone would mind a few fixes.

I dont like to double dip too often so I'll wait for a good sale, maybe a complete bundle.

Wonder if they'll keep going and remaster the others even if they might not need it too badly.

Been playing the 3ds port, pretty good for what it is.

Halo will now be built on Unreal Engine 5, 343 Industries rebrands to Halo Studios

At this point I'd rather have Halo on the GZDoom engine, can't possibly go wrong there.

Unreal 5 I guess might help with development time at least.

Pinball Spire is a wonderful reinvention of what Pinball can be
5 Oct 2024 at 8:28 pm UTC

Looks alright if not a little simple graphically but thats part of the style.
I do miss how some earlier video pinball games in the 16bit era used to lock the screen scrolling camera for better focus on the flippers.
Locking the camera to the ball kinda hurts my eyes.
Here it seems the camera is a little loose which isnt too bad.
Hope this one does well.

Black & White (2001) open source game engine sees a first release
5 Sep 2024 at 7:35 pm UTC

I still have my box for this game.
It's good to see it get an open source revival.
Hoping to see some fan mods with fixes and improvements.

Certainly a memorable virtual pet mixed with town manager.
I do hope the sequel gets some attebtion too never tried that.

I remember reading some guides on how to get the good ending the best way was to be a little evil or discipline a lot which gives the player's hand cursor a dark mean look.
Seemed silly.

Also thought the local weather in real life matching feature was neat for the tine.
Could be implemented much better now but back then I could never get it working but not inportant anyway.

Definitely gotta give this a run.
Just hope my game disc is still intact heh.
That and a working disc drive.

Deadlock from Valve no longer a secret - store page is up and we can finally talk about it

Tried the tutorial on Steam Deck and ran fine.
Had a fully featured steam deck button layput which was nice to have right from the start.

Heck it runs better than my laptop does but it is an aging gtx 1060 6gb.

So far from what I tried I like the game.
The characters dont appeal to me too well but there is a team play dynamic.

I do like that era style though.

Reminds me of Gigantic in a way.

The weird soft NDA is odd and confusing but glad it's over and everyone can freely share things about the gane.
