Partial Controller Support
* Xbox Controllers

I really need "Full Controller Support" to be happy on a Steam Deck.

There are many games from the 2000s to 2010s I play a lot on Steam Deck, but what they have in common is that they have Full Controller Support.

It puts a dent in the fun when you constantly notice you are playing a game that was never designed for your device -- it makes it impossible to be immersive.

I think Serious Sam could stand to gain a lot of ground and fortify their cult following by giving some some tender loving care and quality updates to their most famous old games.

Plus a few bucks to buy into a franchise pushes sales of later games. People have a tendency to want to collect.

Quoting: "kithop"Cool, one more publisher to add to my ignore list on Steam, never to purchase from, again~

I know the feeling. But seriously, I would really love to have a browser extension or something to help tag or mark content so I don't accidentally buy it.

For example, no I never want to buy anything touching Tencent, what Tencent and Epic Games did to Rocket League was a crime, and for that and many other reasons I am actively interested in boycotting them.

Now do most people know games like Cities Skylines are Tencent? Nope. Even games I may already own, could have foreign spyware in it, everyone already knows EAC is spyware, imagine if they got the kernel level rootkit like they wanted to. Someone will pay to buy your data no matter how absurd.

These days I've taken to containerizing my Linux Gaming PC into it's own hardware, can you trust the binaries? Not interested in the industries lazy mediocre AI slop. The sooner I can filter that out the better.

@R Daneel Olivaw -- "System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster" was released "26 Jun, 2025"

It has:
Full Controller Support
1. Xbox Controllers
2. PlayStation Controllers

Single-player
Online Co-op
LAN Co-op
Family Sharing

The LAN Co-op is a absolute blast (admittedly there was a nasty DC bug that AFAIK is now fixed).
The controller support plays great on Steam Deck and Linux PC on XBONE* Controller.

The price appears to be 12.99 -- I think I paid double that at launch and it was still worth it to me.

I get that if money is tight some people would prefer the old version on sale for 90% off, but in my opinion the new version is wayyyyyy better.

They had to rewrite a ton of the source code which was lost to time AFAIK.

The only thing they could do to make me happier is release the source code someday or submit it to the GOG Game Preservation program. I play at 5k resolution and everything looks great, game runs on Vulkan and there are much more settings like HUD, default Audio is correct for me, keybindings, intuitive Steam Deck menu improvements (for mouse & keeb designed game).

Honestly, if you liked the original I can't see why you wouldn't love the higher res textures & all the amazing improvements.

Memory is fuzzy but looks like the Steam version had Denuvo DRM up until 2021 and then dropped it. Looks like there is also 6 DLC -- does the GOG version include them? Their website is hard to extrapolate & read.

Seems like a great deal, for highly rated games 95% 2013, ,94% 2016, 84% 2018.

Considering how error-free and amazing Proton does, I just wish the WINE-GOG interface was a little less jankie.

Finding workarounds for typically is limited to Steam games due to ProtonDB -- and the fallback Wine AppDB is so ridiculously out of date in comparison ProtonDB. Someone else or ProtonDB may as well cover organizing tips & tricks for those Games and Apps.

Anything to make Nelix go away indefinitely. Don't tempt me with a good time.

FTFY ;P Linux, SteamDeck & macOS confirm that they will not support EA.

I would be surprised if it didn't have something to do with VR or AR since Frames is synonymous with glasses.

I'll take what I can get. Knowing Valve, it will be awesome of course.

If you have problems launching and closing games on Steam you will never get through „grabbing” anything from GOG or any other store.

So true, I have so many GOG games and I have to document the installation process for each one, so I can reinstall them when the inevitable technological changes render the bottle broken.

I LOVE the idea, but I don't need ANOTHER wall of plastic with pretty game box art on it.

This is basically the RPG loop though:

explore > collect > spend > improve > explore

I might even argue that the downloads section of Steam and downloads of Linux distros basically gamifies this like a casino and gives a dopamine hit which addicts the users to the improvement loop ;P

Please let us put like 20 games on 1 SD card tho.

FTA, I think the dev was partially frustrated with navigating game menus. Thus the multi-game per storage kind of goes against his current method for simplifying this.

My issue is the apparent waste of storage space. The most commonly found SD card sizes are 16GB and up. What a waste of space for an old game that only requires 500MB!

Theoretically, all storage will keep increasing in density and you could fit 1024 Petabytes on something the size of a SD Card. This seems like a case where a cigar is just a cigar and not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. In the days of CD / DVD there was always leftover space on the optical discs.

If i was going to critique the concept I probably start with the lifespan of SD cards, but if they were read-only then it would be a nominal issue at replacing the SD card when they get burnt out. Or I might critique the read speed of current SD card readers compared against other storage options.

But you know what? Minor issues, I think an idea like this could gain serious traction, I would definately be up to collecting physical media, however SD is a little too small, make it Sony Mini Disc size and we got a deal ;P

Also, this is supposed to be the future? Can we at least have proper cold storage like 3D laser inscribed crystals or something instead of just chips with binary.
