Perfect Dark with dual analog controls is something I’ve wanted to exist and now it does! No Mac support though, gonna have to maybe take another look at clearing things out to make room for boot camp.
Both perfect dark and goldeneye had dual analog support on the N64, though only in single player. Was my first experience with dual analog and all my friends thought I was nuts holding two controllers. Then the Ps2 came out w dual stick and we never looked back.
Not sure about Perfect Dark (never played it), but Goldeneye had the control mode where you hold the left and center grips which was quite similar to dual analog. Of course, that was moving with the d-pad instead of moving with an analog stick, so not quite as smooth on the movement front, but it was definitely a step up from the default control scheme while not being quite as unwieldy as using two separate controllers.
Holy freakin moley I never knew this, that means I might be able to give it a shot on my mac sometime even without this new port. For anyone else as unfortunate as me that’s gaming on an old mac, I found the tutorial for how to set this up by Eggyhead.
There was actually an Xbox 360 port. It’s very hard to find as it was only on Live Arcade and it’s since been delisted (afaik), but it had updated graphics and native dual analog support. I managed to find a ROM and run it on an X360 emulator a year or so back but have no idea where my files ended up.
No worries, I have a couple drives I use for archiving stuff like that in case it gets pulled down, so it should be on one of those I’m just too lazy to look😅plus, with this port I’ll likely not go back to the emulated version
It’s not my project - I just stumbled upon the repository and figured I’d post a link here - but from what I have seen so far it seems to be a faithful re-implementation so far, so no online MP. I checked the open enhancement requests, and found none. Maybe open one to ask whether they’re considering it?
These modifications are possible because the game has been decompiled back to modifiable source code. At this point they can add anything to the game with enough dedication.
Looking at their GitHub page, I’m gonna say no. You need the ROM file of the original game, so while it looks like they’re doing some things like key bindings and increased frame rates, I’d be shocked if they went so far as to implement something as complex as online multiplayer.
I feel like most people above 1920x1080 actually rock a 1440p setup cause it’s a serious step above traditional HD but without the needs of a 4k capable GPU.
I hope Digital Foundry does a review. I wanna see CPU utilization so badly, Paradox needs to learn to invest into CPU optimizations for their CPU heavy games
They do invest a lot in cpu optimization. The problem here seems to be unoptimized GPU performance.
In addition, you will always struggle with CPU performance in complex simulation games with many interlocking systems. There’s only so much you can do without limiting the gameplay.
Not that I don’t believe them, but it’s odd that none of the videos from YouTubers with early access have shown that kind of performance. It makes me wonder if they are trying to set lower expectations for some reason.
There is actually a LOT more little things, that make the game very different. Besides who in the right mind would buy a 70 buck sequel with Just better grafics?
Just have a look at the dev diaries. For me personally its the overhaul of pretty much all simulation engines (traffic, weather, water, wind, people etc.) and that they solved (apparently) the single thread problem of their traffic simulation. For me CS1 was bottlenecked when the cities became to big and the traffic could only be simulated on one core. There is a limit to that. But my cpu was otherwise idle. I have hope that this is now solved. Plus there is apparently no agent limit anymore. So a town of 500000 could in theory simulate all people individually, CS1 couldn’t.
