    I mean... That's a pretty ingenious solution, but I feel like stopping it from being a problem in the first place would have been a better use of time...

    SUPERHOT 11/10

    The second time I've played this through, and it's just as much fun as I remember. I would say this game is on the list of essential games a gamer should play, up with the likes of Half-Life. Yes, it's quite short (you'll get through it in an afternoon) but it's extremely well executed.

    GOOD DOG

    Might of bolloxed it up :wallbash: im not good with these things.

    That said ... having a field day with all these old games. Its totally re-invigorated me to play games from past yonder. All the PS2 games are upscaled to 4k and look stunning .. Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of ... someone looks and plays amazing. Might start a Retro gaming thread see what people are playing.

    The Dreamcast' Sega Rally 2 is also pretty good. I initially fell in love with Sega Rally at the Arcades. Whilst the remaster is certainly the best Tony Hawk title in recent years it still doesn't have the charm of the originals imo. However I do hope it can get an entire new generation into the Tony Hawk series spawning more titles.

    Agree about THPS not having that magic it did years ago , that said look how old i am!

    I tried Sega rally 2 and it doesnt seem to have that "D-PAD" appeal to it .Im using the Dolphin emulator on PC for it . Did have it on Xbox X but microsoft have recently updated something and now none of my emulators work on it at all.

    That's a real shame with the emulators no longer working on the X. I prefer to play on the original systems to be honest however it is nice to have emulators when we know the life of these physical consoles is rather limited.

    Regarding games not having that 'magic' I agree and feel with each subsequent generation the immersion levels grow to such an extent that sometimes even going back to the previous generation of video games loses that 'magic' I liken it to a drug. For example nowadays we've the PlayStation 5, I've a young family member who started out on the PlayStation 3 however since he has 'upgraded' to the PS5 he struggles to go back to the PS3. I once got him to play The Italian Job on the PS1 I personally could still play it as I spent many years of my childhood on the PS1 however he wouldn't have it as the graphics were too "pixelated" in his eyes. These days kids are starting out on the 'highest drug'.

    Another game which I'd love a remaster for. Can't believe with the exception of Simpsons Tapped Out on mobile there hasn't been another Simpsons Game since 'The Simpsons Game' in '08.

    "I’m the lead designer on the original game. Amazing what you accomplished! Really gives a taste of what a full modern remaster could be. Impressive work!"

    Joe McGinn, Senior Game Designer, Simpsons Hit and Run

    Certainly looks the part, and if the original designers are impressed it must be good.
