I think a modern port for other systems would do very well, Sony just isn’t interested in reviving the series which does suck. They did HD versions for PS3 which regained some interest in the franchise, but then they just ported the PS2 versions for PS4/PS5…
If we can have those HD versions on Steam, it’d be a huge deal. Right now most people can’t play the game without jumping through hoops. As an aside, you can play the decompiled versions on PC using OpenGOAL.
I played the HD version on a PS3 emulator and honestly didn’t notice that much of a difference from the PS2 game with upscaled resolution.
I think the point of this post, which I agree with, is that the PS2 version that is available via emulators or on the PS store currently is good enough as it is and the series doesn’t need revived at all.
Sort of in the same vein is that I tried playing MGS1 twin snakes which is the gamecube remake of the PS1 game. Maybe it’s nostalgia of the original being my favorite game of all time, but it just didn’t hit the same for me as the original. It’s just about the closest thing to what a modern “remake” would look like, except I guess with the graphics of how the new remastered snake eater game looks instead of the GC graphics.
It sucks that people might skip timeless classics like these because they’re not remastered with updated graphics.
OpenGOAL runs flawlessly ime. For TPL and Jak 2, there are some extra qol settings and some added secrets to mess around with (in Jak 2, you can unlock cheats for invulnerable vehicles throughout the city, real time of day, turbo jetboard, etc). They’re still working on Jak 3, but you could always get PCSX2 for that one. PCSX2 is a fantastic emulator for PS2 games that also works pretty much flawlessly. It’s how I replayed the old Sly games and a bunch of others.
Update: po reinstalu systemu i niepobieraniu magiska mbank daje mi opcje włączenia BLIKa zbliżeniowego, ale proszę o to już któryś raz i albo mówi “nie jesteśmy w stanie teraz tego zrobić, spróbuj później” albo w nieskończoność się ładuje a potem nic z tego nie ma. We’ll see
I am a FFXIV raider. Gear has been earned. But there is now a lack of culture. The game has lost it’s way. It might not be the game though. It might be all MMOs.
It’s not the souls/weapons that we get at the end, it’s the useless (irl) skill set we honed along the way.
Souls bosses aren’t really rewarding except for the joy one gets from the fight. And if you don’t enjoy that all games give you plenty of room for cheese/overlevel/skip.
Maybe so, yes.
Each person should play how they like, imho.
That is what I mean by souls games giving you a lot of options to chose your player skill progression (gitting gud) intensity (and even end skill level, that it’s why people don’t level up etc).
The originals no because of copy protection, the pirate versions of dodi work fine with the exception of very few, now whether they work on a steam deck is another thing all together and not a Linux issue but steam deck tech issue
The stories about that dude are so good. The sheer pigheadedness of some players. Like the guy who spent like 8 hours fighting that boss instead of just walking around. he eventually won, to his credit.
I gave up after a couple tries on my first dude, but when Margit kept kicking my ass I restarted as a sorcerer. Killed both of them with the trusty pew-pew magic pebble.
