From what I've seen online, the game looks incredibly bad (or was at launch anyway)

Honestly get tired personally with unreal engine titles having shader comp stutter and the like, in a racing game especially is practically game breaking

Hopefully that tool will mean more n64 ports much easier

Honestly these things are a godsend, perfect dark pc port in particular is my favourite as I loved that game growing up

Quoting: Mountain ManWhenever I hear people talk about "game preservation", it always sounds suspiciously like, "I want free games."

Does that apply to companies like take-two and rockstar games?

After all, they're selling games like Manhunt and Bully which include Razor cracks to bypass their own drm

And switch games aside.. legacy games that are rare, how is that stealing money?

No, it's not an excuse to pirate like you imply. Some games WOULD be lost to history if not for the community, that's a fact.

Quoting: emphyIf you don't want future nostalgia be held hostage by such, do not play their games. They are much overhyped and overrated any ways.

Yup nintendo aren't exactly great at looking after their legacy games, I despise how they put old nes, snes ect. games behind a subscription service

Same time though, you can only do so much with consoles when it comes to preservation.. it's always going to be PC where the real preservation of software happens

Personally don't consider their games overhyped, switch has some fantastic games. but I paid for my games and I intend to preserve them and ensure I can continue to enjoy them (even if it's not on my actual switch console)

This might finally be a good excuse to dust off my old vr headset

Shame the trailer shows nothing, hope it will be as good as alien isolation was

256 has lots of partical effects, made by the people who created crossy roads, and had a native linux port that's worked on a modern ubutnu distro for me out the box

Pacman 256 is a fun little take on the pacman formula with some nice voxel looking graphics to go with it

Long live the pacman, for he is a legend

Quoting: hazukashiidesuHighly recommend MudRunner, its older, but still getting new mods and there's enough trucks and maps on the workshop currently to keep you busy for a _very long_ time. If you've got a wheel its better in my opinion than the newer snowrunner game since the shifting is actual shifting vs just swapping between high/low/neutral etc..

Its also great game to play while watching mediocre tv shows/movies as well. Ground through the entirety of GoT in a little over a month just playing this in the evenings.. and I only completed like 6 maps..

Do you happen to know the drm situation in mudrunner?

Picked up the cheapest 3 item bundle mainly for mudrunner and when playing the first challenge I got a "waiting for steam" dialog when for some reason my Internet suddenly went down, clicked cancel and all it did was close the game

The game seems to work fine in offline mode but not sure if that will be persistent or not. But this was a bummer for me as I'm not a big fan of online requirements when I buy digital games, unless it's just basic steamworks drm

Quoting: TevurI already have it on my Deck. Is it also a good experience on desktop?
I thought by their own description that their UX is made exclusively for the Deck.

I've not tried this particular one

But I use emudeck even though I don't own a steam deck, works just fine on ubuntu and just makes things so automated, it's a nice quick way to get my emulator stuff setup on my desktop

Quoting: sonic2kkHere's hoping there's no Anti-Cheat nonsense, even if it's got Proton support enabled this just adds yet another lifespan to the game (not to mention more Epic Games junk).

I'll keep a cautious eye on this, but at worst, we can stick to the tried and true ARCADE GAME SERIES: PAC-MAN [External Link] (there are better ways to play Pac-Man, but this is convenient and legal.)

There's pacman museum+ as well which works great on proton

Honestly I love anything pacman but like the other person said, not willing to spend money on an online only game. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't retain a very healthy playerbase for very long, even with crossplay :-/

I'm still going to wishlist it and might buy it on discount one day

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderN-n-n-n-n-no....... No one said Bomberman...... Your just hearing things....... Now go back to sleep......

Hahahahaha! :grin: :tongue:

Quoting: LoftyThe various Bomberman games are some of my favorite retro games. If your ever feeling you need some simple gaming comfort food it usually does the trick.

It's my favourite series, though I think everyone on GOL knows that at this point, haha. :grin: Last year's Super Bomberman R 2 was my most-anticipated game in many years, and I loved every minute of it. :smile:

Who's your favourite in the R games? Has to be blue bomber for me, I find him so relatable

Not picked up R2 yet as it didn't look different enough from R1 to make it worthwhile.. I still don't think I like the R series as much as bomberman live which is my personal fav
