My Doom Eternal is downloading an 'update'; does anyone know what this is? I can't find an update notes, and I haven't got the Ancient Gods expansion yet as I am still playing the original campaign...
Chase HQ, Rainbow Islands, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Renegade, Continental Circus, Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt.... I know there will always be issues behind the scenes with licensing etc so we will never get perfect collections, but for me personally, most collections always are so wide of the mark (Sonic Collection and Metal Gear Anthology aside : ) )
@Slowdive yeah that's the one! I know people have it running on their PCs - Sega actually released the download link on their arcade website a few years back - for free - by accident a few years ago.
@HamatoYoshi Yeah I see your point - I just don't know why having spent all the money on the arcade that the comparatively low cost of porting to consoles isn't undertaken more. Especially as when - like you say - arcades are few and far between this days. Taking this as an example, plenty of people play driving games at home without the sit down cabinet
I've found it weird in the last few years why arcades games aren't being ported as often as years gone by.... this as an example, Daytona 3 too... As I understand it, a lot of arcade boards these days are just PCs rather than dedicated hardware - surely porting shouldn't be too difficult/expensive? With digital releases possible (as opposed to having to manufacture on physical media that costs ยฃยฃ), the initial outlay must be quite small for games that have already been developed but sadly won't get much play or indeed revenue in ever shrinking arcade venues.
The Talos Principle... I picked up when it was onsale recently... it's been on my watch list for literally years-i can't belive I waited this long to play it! It's so good!!!
I'm still hoping either this, or the limited games version has the C64 versions as easter eggs. I played Turrican so much back in the day, I still love the 'orignal' (read "stolen from Transformers:The Movie" ('Escape'-check it out!)) soundtrack on the original SID chip.. day one for me!!!!๐๐๐๐
Looks like I'll be cancelling the Limited Run Games version i pre-ordered then! A bit confused as to why there is two competing versions by these two companies though... money money money!! Edit; I'm still hoping for C64 as Easter eggs/unlockables
is a lawsuit a bit much? Say if Nintendo loses out and half to pay out millions dollars in compensation won't that hurt the consumer more?? 'We would love to fix your controllers and make more games but we've got no money' (I am joking to the severity, no need to bite), however, as with all these things it is only the 'caring' lawyer that will benefit.
Haha I commented on a youtube video about this... having read about this game, I'm pretty sure Pelikan13 is having a little dig at the company that now owns this game...
Bought it day one... I haven't played since day one either... as others said the sensation of speed is really poor, and the way the cars move when steering looks and feels off. I was really hoping for much more ๐
@Heavyarms55 someone replies to this guys' tweets and mentions MVG for not checking his facts first, and MVG has responded too. They also call out Nintendo Life for the same thing...
@Ooyah yes!! I say this to them on Twitter regularly but they never respond... ok Robocop might have some sort of licensing issue, but Midnight Resiatance... come on!!!!!!!
Outrun 2 would be nice... how come M2 aren't involved anymore? Sales? Like other people have kinda said... if I hadn't already got Sonic on a collection, or a 3DS, or a mini Mega Drive I would be inclined to buy it-SEGA STOP RELEASING THE SAME FEW GAMES!!!
