I just play Steam Deck and write about gaming + Linux a lot

  • In fact, they are such an interesting person all around. I loved chatting to both devs!

  • They also worked in the same field as I before they transitioned to the CEA!

  • It absolutely is!

    I have a screenshot in the article of me doing just that. In fact it handles it so well that you can upscale the resolution a ton, and you can add HD texture packs. So it plays unbelievably well. Check my linked post up the top in this post and you'll find some details I go into for getting it to work with HD texture packs!

  • It should be back up now! A bit of a traffic issue, all fixed :)

  • Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently?

  • Moderator here!

    Feel free to reply to them with the game's name, clear to me that there's no 'stealth marketing' going on :)

  • Silent Hill f, now on GOG

  • Hi there!

    Seems like you're confusing what subjective and objective mean here! Just because you dislike a game, doesn't in fact make that a universally held belief!

    Considering the game is sitting at:

    • Very Positive (4,503) - on Steam
    • 86 (critic rating) and 7.0 (user rating) on metacritic

    ...it seems like this is not (once again) a universally held belief. Sorry you're not liking it, though.

  • I have the Jack and Daxter games, and have them not emulated. openGOAL decompiled the games so they run natively on PC - which is the way to play them: https://opengoal.dev/

    And I've been enjoying the Quest for Booty Ratchet & Clank game, via RPCS3! I know I didn't start at the first, but I'm having such a fun time with it!

  • The important thing (to me) is the comments where I can tell the writer is utterly in love with a certain game, and does all they can to convince me to play it. And I've gotten a fair list of games I'm adding this way!

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

  • They do, of course. There's also a gigantic scene where people modify the consoles. But check my screenshots, this is using PCSX2 via RetroDECK on my Steam Deck, not native hardware.

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    Jump

  • The games have been decompiled and made to run native via openGOAL, so they're far better using that via Decky Loader than emulated!

  • It plays wonderfully and is my first R&C game I've ever tried playing!

    I also really enjoy the beachy setting for what I've seen of it so far :)

  • Reminds me of Sand Land!

  • Better to use openGOAL to play the Jak and Daxter games, the work they do to make them native is absolute magic

  • Also, appreciate the guide for higher res textures.

    You're so welcome! Let me know if you ever run into any troubles!

  • I look forward to seeing how the Deck holds up with some of these titles! I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about getting it to use as a portable PS2 myself.

    There's no issue with PS2 games! I raise the resolution up to 3x native (I think? Whichever one is 1080, anyway), and also apply HD texture packs. There's not one issue I've come across on a PS2 game so far. And setting RetroDECK up to play them is a breeze!

    Do it!

    I've already got Spider-Man 2 on there (others also recommended it), but reading through your list, these all look wonderful! I didn't actually know the 'Stories' games on PS2 for GTA didn't end up on PC, thanks for that tip!

  • GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program!

  • They kinda did when they shared the posts on social media earlier:

    Can your PC run this news? ;)

  • Thank you!

    I have got it on my Steam Deck, but rather the PS3 version (using RPCS3/RetroDECK), and I'm wondering which one I should play when I do try it! Everyone speaks so highly of it, I'm looking forward to!

  • I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies
