I played RDR before it was nerfed with an update that does not exist, I managed about 5 hours over few days before I was patched out, it ran really well, at least as well as it did on 360, a few frame drops from time to time and the odd screen tear here and there, but it was pretty solid...

I recall as well all the rumours with regards to additional HW, I'd imagine most of it was wishful journalism, an article I read in period could have been Super Play or CVG magazine mentioned that Namco's Starblade was under conversion for this system, supposedly touted as arcade perfect. Maybe...

Never played the 3rd in the series but I can vouch for the first two, those who've jumped from 360 to PS4 are in for a right treat make no mistake.

Rumour has it that instead of the usual free kick about between loading, you now have a Sepp Blatter minigame whereas you have to catch as many brown envelopes as possible whilst avoiding the authorities breaking into the FIFA HQ.

I was playing Sturmwind on the DC last year I believe it was launched in 2012, absolutely stunning horizontal shooter that wouldn't have looked too far out of place as an Xbox 360 arcade title release, their is no denying that the DC was outclassed by the PS2, but out of the two formats time...

And this gentleman is my biggest bug bear with the current gen of games consoles, the amount of disk space lost to patches because the retail version is basically incomplete or down right broken is disgusting. A console game should in my humble opinion work out of the box day one without fail...

To be fair Cyan, the differences are minimal, I bet the average gamer couldn't tell them apart played at home. At the end of the day DF articles are not really the be and end all of this pastime, more so a click hit for their site to keep the advertising revenue flowing in. Having read the...

I was talking about this section with a forum member from Eurogamer who mentioned he managed it after 15 attempts, 15 attempts! you could have easily added a zero on the end of that 15 for me, I must have been stuck on that for the best part of two hours with strong coffee and swearing breaks...

Wow Cyan an amazing find, after watching those back to back I'm now in trouble with the wife, but it was worth it. A lot of the early 8 bit music in particular to the NES is lost on me so it was a great education and listening for that matter on an era that was not overly popular here in the UK...

I'll take another look at F-Zero Maximum Velocity, I remember playing it on a friends GBA briefly along time ago and I do have a complete GBA rom set so it should be nestling there somewhere thanks for the info, I know what I'm playing this evening so I'll report back with my views. Again and...

I think it was its own version but required quite a specialised Commodore Amiga, it was from memory a work around the Amiga using PPC board in conjunction with a Blizzard accelerator which boosted the cpu from 14mhz to circa 300mhz utilising common graphics cards of the time such as a Voodoo 3...

Yes the music was excellent especially the on later tracks such as "Kings field". Talking of emulation you should if you have the chance hunt down the F-zero 2 rom image, it never saw the light of day as a commercial release and is an interesting curiosity much in the same mould as the original...

Amiga 1200 cased inside a tower PC housing running a Blizzard accelerator probably with additional FPU and 2nd party GPU, as I mentioned a very rare computer configuration for those who had deep pockets which a friend had at the time along with a unbreakable affection for all things Commodore Amiga.

I think that Atari's STUN Runner would have been the first decent example of a futuristic anti-grav racer that I stumbled upon during as misspent youth trawling arcades with a wired coins to flip credits, I agree with your sentiment with regards to F-Zero in particular its original SNES version(...

This thread reminds me of Quantum Redshift an original Xbox Wipeout variant that seems will never see the light of day again which is a shame as I thought it was pretty good all those years ago. Which in turn reminds me once again of playing Wipeout 2097 on an Blizzard accelerated Amiga 1200...
