The thread of 2016 retro re-releases
Re: The thread of 2016 retro re-releases
I think they should release these "enhanced" ports on the PS3/PS4 as well, like they did with FF7. Supposedly the new FF9 release on Steam is pretty top notch. I'd just rather have these options on consoles too.

I picked up the physical version of the Mega Man Legacy Collection for PS4 (is now under $20 on Amazon) and I almost feel bad for how bad it's sold given the price drop. It has some nice goodies on the physical side - like a soundtrack download and some cool cards (one of which is a cheatsheet for the bosses).

Agreed, I really can tell a difference with its performance compared to the emulated ports on the PS2 collection, and all the extras are very nice. Plus, I don't miss 7-8 missing from it. It's an awesome collection.retrosportsgamer wrote:I picked up the physical version of the Mega Man Legacy Collection for PS4 (is now under $20 on Amazon) and I almost feel bad for how bad it's sold given the price drop.

I can still see how some were upset though. This is 20 some years later, Capcom could have put together some omega collection at a higher price with all the mainline games, X, and Zero. That would have been gangbusters.

hey fans of kind of obscure JRPG's, the PS2 game PHANTOM BRAVE will be ported to PC in July.

That's pretty wild. It already was ported to the Wii and PSP. I enjoyed it.

That's cool. Didn't even know it was released on PC back in the day. Had a bit of a hard time searching for it on GOG.com....... It's filed under D: The Game.

yeah. Coincidentally I bought the DOS version off of Amazon back when we did it for TR this past year. Otherwise I'd be all over this re-release.BoneSnapDeez wrote:That's cool.

Battlezone! Happy days!
Seriously, that game was amazing. Highly recommended. Kind of a Descent meets RTS hybrid that was excellent in both categories.

I played a ton of Battlezone back in the day!
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
