I remember when Mechwarrior: Living Legends here began as a beefy mod for Crysis Warhead. Now it has become its own stand-alone package, no longer needing a now-defunct multiplayer game that had its plug pulled years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kuv2qbMv1A
Ah, it's Skulls day. Explains all the Warhammer goodies popping up left and right.
I do like the look of the co-op side that Space Marine 2's getting. You can tell it's by the World War Z game devs what with the differently-jacked-up classes and the rivers of extremely explodable monsters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnvlCVDb7PY
And Mechanicus, one of the best turned-based Warham strategy games in recent years, is getting a sequel. More oddball Techpriests replacing their flesh with spider-tank chassis, skittering around mashing buttons on alien tech, weirding out the Necrons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS9g-K4qCVA
Not-Bloodborne Kart officially out on Steam and Itch at the end of the month. Between this and Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers, the Saturn/PS1 kart racer fans are eating good right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2930160/Nightmare_Kart/
@SirTapTap Aye, good on the fans putting together patches of their own to keep playing the series online - including UT3. Even with its flaws (and most of the colours removed in its weird attempt to copy Gears of War's look) I had a lot of fun with its bigger maps and their barmy War Of The Worlds-inspired vehicles.
@TheChimpyMan damn :( figured it was coming some day when they weren't backwards compatible, but still. There should always be some kind of archive at least that people can connect to instead
If you do a little digging, you can see the current manaby wailing about Warhammer's new 10ft lady Custodes is almost identical to the outrage over Chess when the Queen was buffed from moving one diagonal spot to almost any space in any one direction back in the 15th century.
This recent talk on game preservation's got me thinking about the communities reviving their favourite old games to share with the rest of us.
Warzone 2100, for example - a fine RTS from 1999 mostly known for the highly customizable tanks you slapped together from its vast tech tree. Though its devs stopped at 2000, the game was made open-source 4 years later, and it's been fine-tuned and running smoothly on modern machines since.
Last weekend a surprise update dropped on Flatout: Ultimate Carnage (the last one Bugbear made before they moved on to Wreckfest). No longer stuck with Games For Windows live, it's now made the jump to Steamworks and it playing nice with the Steam Deck - always nice to see older works getting salvaged from abandoned platforms. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/12360/view/4148449764353159269?l=english
@SirTapTap They said the exact same thing about Sonic recently because he's blue. I swear, those spam bots screaming "NUDES IN BIO" at everyone have more original thoughts.
@SirTapTap Eh, it's more down to how many of the songs and covers I've been collecting over the years have been much harder to track than expected - hardly springing in in the first page of search results. Maybe I should've phrased that better.
