Been having alot of fun with the demo so far

For those who like tinkering with low-spec gaming there's a dedicated "potatoe" setting

It's abit blurry but still looks surprisingly still quite nice and actually looks very similar to a ps1 game

There's even filters, like "full retro" that adds dithering.

Can't wait to try out the demo on my main pc

Was playing the demo on and off last night while watching TV and its very cozy!

Might pick it up on Friday it's only £6 so why not?! And knowing some of the money they make goes to the real life little froggies adds that extra cozyness

@Pyrate

Sorry should of elaborated, I wanted to use BT so I could use multiple controllers, the official adapter only supports one controller at a time

Though tbf I can't think of any splitscreen games I play that make use of analogue triggers so it's probably a non-issue

I want a new controller, ever since last year when my series x controller I had for about a year and the RB button suddenly crapped out

The 8BitDo SN30 Pro does look appealing, especially if it has official support in the current kernel

But I really want one of those 8bitdo ultimate controllers

But from what I read they register as a dinput nintendo controller on PC through BT, which results in no analog triggers (bummer for racing games)

I could use their official adapter, but I have their original adapter from when I picked up the m30 and sf30 controllers years ago and I found the adapter terrible in terms of range distance, even if 2.4ghz is meant to have lower latency

For now my go-to has been the official xbox wireless adapter, one thing I really love is that I can unplug the adapter and put it into another device and the controller still connects to it without manual pairing everytime, even when switching between linux and windows

But I don't want to be confined to Microsoft, and the fact ultimate controllers has hall effect joysticks make me really want one. I get tired of having to deal with terrible dead zones and want something more sustainable and reliable

I'm due an upgrade, my main machine is running a 2060 super

I have been thinking if I get a new gpu to go AMD this time though, which is a shame because I don't want to give up things like dlss and good RT performance

Just open source your stuff nvidia. Lol

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!
