Yeah postal 4 was a disappointment and it's not been updated for about a year either
Still, wish them all the best, hope they reach their stretch goals because the time of day effects sounds cool

Damn so controller support not working for me on the GOG version under linux mint
Was exactly the same for me with the System Shock 2 remaster
All my nightdive games prior to that work perfectly fine with my controller

I've actually never played these before despite having them on gog for years, might have to finally dive in with these nightdive remasters
I'd still like a Q3A remaster at some point, I know some people will think it's not needed but it'd mean it can be on all the modern consoles and personally I'd love to see a pc version with splitscreen and half-decent controller support

Unrelated to the steam sale but I've noticed Ruffy and the Riverside came out today!
Played the demo (which is still available) and it's getting great reviews which is no surprise, I think it would be the best platformer of the year and I really wanna grab it
My personal recommendation for the steam sale would be Parking Garage Rally Circuit, 25% off

The speed they're getting these ports out is fantastic
I believe they said they're working on banjo kazooie too iirc

Have to say I think the remasters of TR 1-3 are a tad disappointing and I'm glad I waited
I found the remastered graphics somewhat off-putting, laras shadow seems to switch from dynamic to blob shadow on the fly, and the dynamic shadows just look really weird to my eye
That aside the graphics look pretty nice and faithful, apart from it looking overly dark in some areas
These are more nit-picks but what's really annoying is that the camera behaves differently.
It's not a bad/terrible remaster but it's certainly not up there with the sort of stuff nightdive have done

Varies from game to game
'F.E.A.R platinum' for instance had some changes made
"Update (20 March 2025)
Limited FPS to 60 (configurable), ensuring smoother performance.
Fixed duplicated FileTasks, resolving potential conflicts.
Validated stability.
Verified compatibility with Windows 10 and 11."
Where as some like the one you mention, they seem to just load the game up on W10/11 and say "yup, that works ok"
Their total disregard for linux is a big shame though, even the native linux games they do sell, some of them can have missing libs and stuff where as on Steam they include a set of commonly used libs.
So it some ways I'm not too bothered about native linux games on gog when they don't maintain them anyway
