how did you get that?

Paid more for a special edition that they’re apparently not offering anymore. I believe the game will come with a PDF with largely the same content, but it’s fun having a hardcopy and binder for it.

wasn’t this already posted somewhere in this thread?

good call, the “texas chainsaw hoods” kind of blended with the “grand cyclops hoods” in my memory

Well this ranks high on the “What the hell?” announcements. Especially as MS are letting them list it on Steam Greenlight (The owner of Beep Studios still works for Microsoft and MS own the IP but they are letting them remaster it and release as an indie)

Mind you, Grabbed By The Ghoulies scrubbed up real well on Rare Replay so I could see this and the Phantom Dust Remaster looking nice indeed (Shame we’ll likely never see original Xbox emulation).

what even is this

Almost certainly this is vaporwave.

Ok how long is this 3D mascot platformer revival gonna last, this is getting silly

This was, to the best of my knowledge, a genre that even mainstream critical opinion believed to have gone basically nowhere since 1996

So one of those new Windjammers-likes seems to be doing open testing on Thursdays USA time. I signed up and got a Steam key right away.

I think if you want to play outside the set times you have to buy a ‘founders edition’, otherwise it’s free.

I HOPE IT’S GOOD.

The very concept of “Jeff Minter’s Polybius for Playstation VR” is like a fake idea I would have made up ten years ago

2015 Magfest World Jampion talking here. I was absolutely pumped when this was first announced. Behind-the-back perspective is really not doing it for me, though, for as much as I’ve played.

I’m gonna see if it grows on me.

I wonder if this game won’t sell and he’ll be really publicly grumpy about it again

I was wondering about that perspective. Wondering if it made the discs tragectory harder to read.
