Thanks
I'll be looking close at what people think of this SS2 remaster as I've seen a number of people say its just alot of community mods essentially but it sounds a little disingenious
SS1 remake was my first system shock game, I loved bioshock when I first played it in 2008 and was very curious as to why people say SS was better .. playing the SS1 remake made me realise how watered down and console-like bioshock is in comparison
I've been holding out ever since to play through SS2 for the first time, hoping this is the definitive way to play it in 2025

People who preordered the SS1 remake are still getting this for free right?
It doesn't seem to be in my gog library with only the option to purchase it

Oh and one more pet peeve (last one I promise)
Some native linux games on gog (like pikuniki) the controller support doesn't work, I then have to add it as a non-steam game and enable steam input
At which point I'm sort of like.. why am I not just buying this on steam?!

I do prefer gog over steam, it's just such a shame they don't seem to care about linux that much. Game preservation goes better with linux then windows
Also some games on gog don't seem to get game updates like their steam counter-part
Silent Hill 4 also adds in the missing content that was only in the ps2 version, so this preservation program should have at least some benefit for wine (including its improved controller support

Was really impressed by the demo
It seems to do all the right things you'd expect from a good platformer. Solid mechanics, charming characters, beautiful visuals and a catchy soundtrack!

I'd also like to know if we can use the new assets without RT
Doubt my aging 2060 super would run the RT very well, but the new assets look great

Heroic Games Launcher v2.16 released with improved Steam Deck / Linux game compatibility

I've been getting into heroic lately, not as a replacement to lutris (which still has its own uses) but rather as my main front-end to view and launch all my pc games
It's smooth and attractive looking, but I do wish games were easier/smoother to browse with keyboard keys, it tends to cycle through the play and config/settings button and various other buttons making it feel a little cumbersome

That theme music to adventures of a cat in space really is catchy, and it's a very charming game
Tried a game called Scaravan 66, it's a rouge-like vehicular combat game, had alot of fun with that one too

This reminds me I really need to play through the remastered collection I have sitting in my steam library, which is meant to be really good
It's honestly quite refreshing how pro-consumer ea seems to be when it comes to c&c, someone high up at ea must REALLY like c&c lmao
