I would love to get one of those, but unfortunately Valve won't sell me one...

What are the controller problems on Linux? I played on launch day and didn't notice anything wrong.

This is nice and cool but, when will they start selling their hardware at south of the equator line?

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't some cheap knockoff of this series called "Solid Knight" on Steam. With all the shovelware and AI bullshit, you'd think that there'd be one on there. lol

There are a lot of imitations of it on Steam. Some are so shameless in imitating its art stile, at a glance you could mistake them as something from Team Cherry.

It had the potential to have better graphics than the DX11 era SCS games, but ruined it with that grey/beige filter typical of low budget Unity Engine games.

But I don't see much of the crowd of the SCS games jumping the fence to invest money on this. But I confess if they release a demo I may try it.

Also, SCS support Linux gaming for a long time now, and I only saw one title from Saber on Linux, so that is a pass from me.

I wish him/her luck. The N64 architecture is not easy to implement on emulators, so if this new one is a good improvement on the earlier ones, then thank you very much.

Also, with the decompilation projects now, I hope they can leverage the new discoveries the community did in the last couple years.

"As the industry has shifted towards more complex, feature-rich, lengthier games, we wanted to go in the other direction: providing a one-button shmup that’s fun from the moment you pick it up!" said Anthony Flack, Lead Games Designer at Claymatic Games. "You don’t need to learn any complicated combos or absorb a bookish tutorial teaching how you can have fun later. Instead, you get right to the action. Platypus Reclayed is designed to be something you pick up for 20 minutes before bed or on your lunch break, but you enjoy every second of it!"

Amen brother. Back then you could finish a game in 30 minutes and nobody were bitching about it. Now if a game last 10 hours "it is too short". Personally, I prefer a short game with real thought put in the stage and gameplay details, than 30 to 60 hours of boring stuff made by AI to artificially made a game longer.

Several fps club membership required?

So this is how you kids are calling the "N64 performance mode" now?

Man, those were the tough days. But I heard this is the situation now with the Nintendo Switch.

There were some games on the NES that were like this, multiple genres in one game. Konami did a few, like The Adventures of Bayou Billy.

It is good to see someone doing something on the same spirit. I hope they release a demo.

PS: there is a demo. I will try it when I come home later.

One more reason I keep my distance from online games, specially those that don't officially support Linux.

Single player games for the win.
