SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics workshop is amazing there are rom hacks of Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong Country, Megaman, Duke 3D, Wolfenstein, SF2, Battletoads and Double Dragon, Outrun not to mention all the Sonic romhacks out there.

Sonic Mania could be cool. Hopefully they give Sonic Generations 2 better music and no shitty blank hub.

I'm probably the only person in the world who would like the SATURN version of Sonic 3D Blast on PC.

Oh that's right.
There are new Sonic games coming out next year.

Watching that stream kinda caused my brain to get scattered into the four winds.

But yeah, porting multiplatform games to PC is the most basic expectation from a publisher. So this port initiative doesn't even warrant a golf clap.

I've heard that the comic are in fact pretty good, but I got that info from a Sonic fan himself so take it as you will :p

I'm pretty stoked about the new entries in the franchise. I'm not personally fond of the 2D division but if gonna please a bigger public so be it, but "Generations 2" has a lot of potential to iron the kinks of the former game and actually be great. Just wished they had announced some ports, I still plan on beating all games in the franchise
because I'm an idiot of a higher magnitude and deserve a painful death
, and having so many games thrown on random platforms doesn't help.

You guys realize Sonic Mania and Generations 2 are these years Sega PC ports?

How you feel about them now?

No they are not and you're being dumb, no offense:
They are releasing in 2017 IF YOU BOTHERED TO LOOK AT THEIR THREADS OVER AT GENERAL GAMING DISCUSSION.

Stop trying to start something that will go nowhere.

As to Sonic Mania, I am hype, 2D Sonic platforming goodness and those graphics are awesome

EDIT: Bah gawd...Green Hill never sounded so good...and that theme doesn't exactly rank high in my ranking.

Ys 1 needs a map option
Dear lord does it need it
Yes I know it is short and the dungeons aren't that big but I got lost for a good 5 minutes before I realized where the door to the next floor was in Rastin Mine @_@

Great game though and Vagullion wasn't that hard this time around :V

I actually do read the comic series and it has had some really good and fun stories, I'll PM you about it later or you can ask in the Sonic Community thread :3

Digital Extremes admits Warframe hack

"Last week we were made aware of a potential web server breach that occurred in November 2014. At the time, we believed this to be a phishing scam as our account server was secure. After a thorough review of the data we received, we can confirm that a list of 775,749 email addresses were acquired through a Drupal SQL exploit that was patched by Drupal two weeks after the breach occurred," it said.

"The stolen data DID NOT include any account passwords, variations of passwords, hashed passwords, game account data or personal player information such as full names, addresses or other billing and payment information."

It's kind of amusing that Square-Enix' first Japanese-developed game to support arbitrary framerates on PC is a throwback RPG. The wonders of off-the-shelf engines.

Do you mean I am Setsuna? The game can't even keep 60fps at a resolution of 1920x1080 on a 970. And even at 1280x720, if played full screen, it won't stay 60fps. I gotta play it windowed at 720 to get 60fps.
The wonders of off-the-shelf engines: they suck balls when they're called Unity.

It keeps like locked 120 FPS for me and it doesn't even wake up my GPU, it runs at like 800mhz.

It'll keep going between 44 and 57 for me at any resolution other than windowed 720p, at which point it's 60fps locked.
Same setup (i5 2500K, 970, 8GB ram) plays DOOM at 60fps locked with stuff at high.

The sound in Alien Isolation is amazing! I love the button presses and even the menu sounds, all the whirring and clicking.

Insane sound design. I can't think of a game that outclasses it. I love how it both serves as a way to make to game scarier, but is also the most reliable tool in tracking the Alien's behaviour or location.

Alien was really good, but I enjoyed the atmospheric sound-design much more in Dead Space 1 and 2.

Still can't get above 8fps on Prototype 2. Probably should have looked at the reviews that said it's an AMD no go zone. Going green with my next computer.

Excited for Sonic Mania. I trust Christian Whitehead knows what he's doing much more then I ever trusted the likes of Dimps.

Wouldn't that just be the original physical PC version? They should just fix it up and bundle it on Steam. I do like the Richard Jacques soundtrack to that game if nothing else.

Game ran fine for me at 60 FPS when I played it :/
The rare, if any, disparity between GFX cards running games is lame.

Is Sonic Generations 2, like the TNG equivalent of Sonic? Like, some french Sonic played by a British actor is taking over as Sonic? I would be okay with that.

No, it lacked the screen effects from the Saturn version and the special stages sucked.

Is it bad that the instant I saw sonic back in 2D I just figured it's Sega saving money?
Click to expand...

Nah, that doesn't really make a lot of sense since they're also doing what's basically a Sonic Generations 2.

IMO the worry is more that they're trying to please everyone and still have no clear idea where they're going with this franchise.
