I used to use this app a lot but I found it started to work less and less. If you follow the right links, there is talk of a new version 3 of the app but I don’t know if that’s still being worked on.

I find that redlib is more reliable for Reddit browsing. It does stop working occasionally but only for a few hours usually.

I think I had to Google that one back in the day. The simple one that got me was when the commander guy says the codec for contacting that certain character is on the back of the case.

What case? I can’t see a case? I’m not carrying a case? God knows how long it was before I found out they meant on the back of the actual PS1 box the game comes in. I can’t remember if they ported that over to the GameCube version.

It’s there a GameCube in there somewhere? That would be pointless surely because of the Wii? In fact, why not included the WiiU instead? Three consoles in one! 😂

In terms of modern games, both of the Last of Us games and Alien: Isolation. I’m sure there’s loads of old games but my memory is awful.

Your comment has reminded me of Eternal Darkness on the GameCube. That did various things like lower the volume with a fake on screen TV display. That didn’t work for me because it was different to my own on screen TV graphics.

But when they faked that my memory card was corrupt and the save was gone, that one got me. 😂

I had no idea about this, thank you.

That reminds me of that old first person shooter, The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

This is a game that had a following and people have asked for a remaster or even just a GOG release.

The problem is, no one actually knows who owns it today. It’s a bit of a legal mess.

I don’t remember Blue Burst but I remember setting up my Dreamcast to dial in to my ISP at the time, Demon Internet. Then loading up Phantasy Star Online. Probably the only MMO I really got into. I even purchased the official Dreamcast keyboard to use with it.

I think the only item that interested me was that I can play Alan Wake 2 next month for “free”.

There are several games that come to mind.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings was due to be released on mutiple consoles but the leaders were the Xbox360/PS3 versions.

One of the selling points was a unique ragdoll system which meant when you punched a bad guy, there was no set animation of them falling down. The ragdoll physics did it’s job.

There were several videos released during production, usually at E3 shows.

Sadly, the delays keeper getting longer. While there was no official release date, we wondered if they would tie it on to the release of Crystal Skull. The film came and went both theatrically and on home formats but no game.

Then one day, the first official trailer was released, I watched it with excitement. Then the gut punch, at the end of the trailer, it only had logos for PSP, Wii and DS.

Soon after, we learnt the game was cancelled. Some early rough gameplay footage is online.

Another is Star Wars: 1313. The game would tell the story of how Boba Fett became the famous bounty hunter and acquire the armour. This E3 trailer got me so excited.

I think the game was cancelled when Disney bought Lucasfilm.

Finally Star Wars: Rogue Leaders.

Essentially, the two Rogue Leader games from the GameCube remastered for the Wii.

According to an interview, this would have been pushing the Wii to it’s graphical limits, I think they mentioned 60fps.

There was also extra Wii enhancements such as lightsabre battles with Wii MotionPlus remotes and even using the Balance Board as part of ship controls.

If I remember rightly, the game was fully finished but they couldn’t find an interested publisher. He’s the trailer.

I remember getting hold of this game and the typing in the Doom cheat code for invulnerability. it kills you instantly! 😂

If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.

The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!

I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He’s only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.
