@Coalescence Remember the AVGN review where James tries it like that and it just slides off, made the point it wasn't really portable, taping it to his head was funny tho.
@axelhander Forget it dude this site thinks Ai is the devil, funny tho it's perfectly fine for humans to rip each other off, but if Ai is used then it's actually considered "bad" even tho really it's just that, a tool, it can't think or do things for itself unless a human makes it...but yeah blame the machine not the person controlling it. With the speed of recomp ports don't give me the "moral" stuff when people again are taking games they don't own to work on other systems/consoles I think Ai is a really handy tool, as some said it's allowing people who don't have or struggle with coding skills or say art skills but have cool ideas, Shigeru Miyamoto didn't code he was just a artist who got another company who code games to make his idea ~Popeye~ Donkey Kong, he was always a ideas man but had to get other people to make his ideas happen, you can do that with Ai as a assist but not as a replacement, lastly there games made by humans where it's fully made with stolen assets remember the awful Switch Popeye game?
@Arcadia_Official Most of these are on 360 and PC in a collection with online multiplayer and native wide screen https://youtu.be/XgEgqNJ5pP0?is=tsT3xlAnoUyWDRyI best part it's free too, no need to pay £14 per rom...
@mjparker77 Cheaply simply made products always sell well just look at EA or Activision, thankfully there are better free options these days with the recomps, got most of these ported to VR and it's awesome I tell ya I'm so glad I didn't buy a 1up arcade Time Crisis machine, got it TC2, Crisis Zone, Sega Rally, House of the Dead 1 & 2 running on a meta quest headset runs and plays great, even got Daytona USA running native on a psp not full speed sadly tho the PS Vita version should fix that
This is gonna be another Duke Nukem Forever case, I rather someone just decomp the original BG&E and make a sequel themselves honestly we got the tools now and I'm sure there's talent out there that don't work for Ubisoft that can do it justice.
@bluemujika Sadly that's the future we got but at least this is restoring it, along with PS Home man if Sony remade it for PS5 I might actually buy one.
@slider1983 I believe so especially for the PS1 version, not sure about Gba or Gbc and Jaguar actually Jag might be able to mod cus for some reason it plays two different soundtracks the one from the emulator Jag's soundfont and a new remix soundtrack that plays over it *tbh it sounds better than the one they did for PS1 but closer to the original soundtrack.
@slider1983 Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either, tho they did put a lot of remarking each version soundtrack, PS1, Then Atari and both GBC and GBA soundfonts, all Sega did was removed the lyrics in Sonic CS Japan and used old beta tracks for Sonic 3 sadly not the good ones from the actual Sonic 3 beta that was leaked before Origins.
@slider1983 Ohh well the guy who did Rayman Legends basically said he did to respect his friend but wouldn't it make more sense just to use his original music? Fun fact the PS1 Classic has the correct music but not this collection when even the GBC music got remade it's very odd
@16bitGeneration Can't you read? https://youtu.be/581n2n_V_4c?is=0Wih6Q6krqQBlt5x did you stop gaming after the 16bit era? Cus Sega did the same thing, they treated PC as a Sega console, any new SEGA exclusives would end on PC, in a year or less, you said "according to Microsoft's confusing marketing, my PC is already an Xbox, so there's no need to buy one" that's how Sega started it's downfall, I had a Saturn but after 1996 I just went for the PC versions cus they were better and often cheaper then when Dreamcast came out I wanted one but I got it's exclusives on PC and when I saw PS2 running Crazy Taxi in a store I went for PS2 instead totally skipping Dreamcast cus Sega already had SEGA PC Microsoft has worked a lot with Sega remember also Windows CE was built into Dreamcast and Oh Xbox was meant to be backwards compatibility with Dreamcast games there doing the same marketing mistake letting you play Xbox games on PC and even PlayStation, tell me what's the point of owning a actual Xbox? When all its games that are worth playing are on PC? Just like SEGA PC did in the 90s that's why it's relevant
@16bitGeneration Ya don't remember? Microsoft is doing what Sega did, all it's best games went to PC *most of the Saturn and Dreamcast exclusives would get PC ports in a year or less, so really you didn't really need a sega console to play Sega games then ofc they put their games on rival consoles when they messed up their console business with Dreamcast, it's what Microsoft is also doing now with it's exclusives like Forza and Halo appearing on Playstation, history repeats itself.
@PinballAficionado Can't really blame Trump for Xbox's lack of games cus they been like that before he even got into office, plus if your worried about money PC is the way to cus of emulators, Steam sales, the recomp ports, there's actually games worth playing, not to mention the fan games which are better then ones with $60 price tags.
@16bitGeneration Remember Sega PC ports that started to appear in the mid 90s? A lot of Saturn, Dreamcast games would get a pc port less than a year later and in the Saturn's case they were a lot better so you didn't need to own a Sega console to play it's exclusives unlike Nintendo's and even PlayStation's back then, it's the same case with Xbox heck PC even has PlayStation ports making a Xbox console less desirable.
Kinda always wanted this but it kinda looks odd, the bottom screen acting like a map and rearview mirror was a handy feature, especially since Ai could spam items as much as they wanted, not needing item boxes.
Neat but I think the recent Daytona USA running on Sega 32x through a heavy modified Virtua Racing Deluxe is far more impressive and news worthy https://youtu.be/wXVaK24Xdfg?is=aLjj5ONn31HMaFH_ even has textures and runs smoother then the Saturn port.
@cawley1 Actually it was always meant to be a Ghostbusters game but in Japan they couldn't get the licence so they removed the real Ghostbusters references tho the Japanese logo is heavy based on the Japanese Real Ghostbusters logo the western version was meant to have more connection to the cartoon such as face profiles of Ray, Peter and Egon but it's unused for some reason, it could do with a mod to make more like the cartoon cus the gameplay works it's just the lack of characters and locations Something Konami nailed with TMNT 89
@Hairlesswookiee Same I can't wait for the Master system port of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade, really shows what the master system is capable of, just look at all that colour.
@cylemmulo I think for Dreamcast this would help actually **finish** it's port of Half Life, improving it's frame rate, bugs, restoring the unfinished online mode, all the stuff that could of been done if Sega didn't pull the plug on Dreamcast so early, this is great news!
@slider1983 Sadly cus the guy who made the original music passed on, so we are stuck with the "remixes" it's kinda like the Sonic 3 music legal issues, that said at least the actual gameplay content is good.
They should of just used the original artwork if they were that cheap and lazy to pay a actual artist by actual artist I don't mind a bloke who used Ai to make all this cursed artwork
@Moroboshi876 Could of been worse, how Sonic Origins Plus made the plus dlc mainly Game Gear games and Amy sprites a one time redeemable code rather just putting it on the cartridge/disc when it's labelled Origins Plus at least with Bomberman it's a free update.
@mjparker77 Nah it got way better especially with Saturn Bomberman a real gem on the Console plus the n64 games were pretty amazing too, Bomberman Hero is still my favourite n64 soundtrack.
