Quoting: Pengling
Quoting: Talon1024There's quite a few of them, and many of them are good, but the reason the game industry crashed in the 80s is because the market was oversaturated with half-baked games. With so much competition in the market, it's already very difficult for an indie developer to find a significant audience and earn enough money to live.
On the other hand, that market-crash only happened in the US - where I am, game-devs just kept on game-devving completely unaffected, and I'm sure the same will happen all over again when the time comes.
In Japan they called it the "Atari Shock"........ As there was no crash in Japan either...... And same here in Australia......

Acre Crisis looks like a fun throwback to the original Dino Crisis

Well I hope its way better than Locked Door Crisis...... I mean Empty Hallway Crisis.......... Errrr...... Sorry....... No Dinosaurs Crisis.......

I still dont understand the died hard love for Dino Crisis........ Locked doors are more of an obstacle in that game than the Dinosaurs are....... You can go almost hours without seeing or hearing a Dinosaur as you wonder through empty hallways trying to unlock or bypass locked doors........ Or move crates in a not very good crate moving mini game puzzle.......

At least with this being a FPS it does indeed stand a chance of being much better...... Only time will tell I guess......

Also being a PS1 inspired game...... Is it still a Boomer Shooter or Gen Xer Shooter????..........

PS2 Emulator PCSX2 2.0 is out now and it's a huge upgrade

Ive been using the 2.0.3 version most of the afternoon...... Have to say its really good..... PCSX2 has come a long way since the last stable version which was 1.6.0 back in 2020.....

I would still like to see some things added..... Like the ability to import save files from GamwFAQs would be a really handy feature.......

Quoting: 14PS2 games... Mmm... Driver, Tony Hawk, Harvest Moon, The Sims. Those were fun.
Also sports games..... The 6th gen was the golden age of sports games..... Madden, 2Ks EPSN games, NHL, MLB even NBA Live were all great games in the 6th gen...... Add in the Soccer games of PES and FIFA were all really good..... Wrestling games were fantastic with the WWE Smackdown! vs RAW series and even the ultra sexy fan service game of Rumble Roses......

Racing games were great too with the NASCAR Thunder games and NASCAR Dirt to Daytona...... Along with the best Need For Speed games and Test Drive Unlimited...... Colin McRae Rally and the WRC games were fantastic on the PS2 as well as TOCA Race Driver 3, Gran Turismo and Forza......

Then you have the amazing Tiger Woods golf games..... Even very fringe sports like Cricket, Rugby Union and Rugby League all had good and even great games on the PS2...... Hell even Boxing had great games with the Knockout Kings and Fight Night games on the 6th gen......

And of course we cant forget Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball on the OG Xbox........

Quoting: officerniceI'm so damn tired of modern gaming... Setting up emulation station has been a blessing, playing so many FINISHED games and discovering tons of gold nuggets.
Im the same..... I get very few "modern games" and even the ones I do get are either Boomer Shooters, Boomer Rally or Boomer Sports games......

RPG Maker / Pixel Game Maker devs move to Godot for Action Game Maker

Quoting: PenglingOoh, interesting! I'm not sure that I'm creative enough to make good use of it, but as long as it'll work on Linux (preferably natively, with native output, since it's built in Godot - though I know that's not always a guarantee of support), this might end up on my radar.
Im sure you could make a good game about baking cookie bombs to attack to evil Doritos Pope and his side kick the Nacho Nun........

Quoting: PenglingI don't know what I was expecting from the trailer, but it certainly wasn't that, hahaha!
