Quoting: Liam Dawethe new Xbox Wireless Controller (2020) because Microsoft are just as bad at naming their controllers as they are their consoles because you have to add the date <_<
What about "Xbox Series controller"? It seems Microsoft drop console generations and will release new consoles as Xbox Series $CONSOLE_NAME with compatibility for older games and hardware.
Because this is actually the official name https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller [External Link] Xbox Wireless Controller.

Quoting: omer666Be careful, Vanguard Princess port is broken and it does not run with Proton or Linux Runtime.
Good to know. I looked a bit further, and it looks like even on Windows it's an absolute mess with lots of complaining about it. What a shame.

Quoting: TcheyIt seems to be again a game without any keyboard configuration, with WASD as default.
They have released an update:

  • New menu layout. All options from the pause menu are now accessible on the main menu and on a separate menu.

  • Keyboard controls can now be remapped as desired. If you assign a key that has already been used it will simply swap the mappings. These are of course saved to your game data file.

  • Footstep sounds can be turned on or off.

  • Fullscreen mode available in the options menu.

  • Added a load screen so as to not make the game feel like it's frozen when loading larger levels.

  • Added control bindings for looking and shooting with the keyboard which can also be remapped as desired.

  • Fixed missing collision and disappearing scenery on level 5.

Quoting: MohandevirOk... Single screen doesn't mean single player... Must be similar to Blaze Rush, in that aspect, then. Could be a fun game to play with my kids.
Sorry, have clarified the first part a bit. It's 2-4 players, no mention of bots anywhere I can see. It does seem to be like Blaze Rush yup, and that's a good thing - there's not enough quality racers like it.

Quoting: lucinoscan someone say what kind of "drm-free" thing they give? Unfortunately I have no trust gog is doing anything sane.
Huh? That's a weird thing to say. As they have always done, you get a DRM-free download direct from their website with all the game files.
