that’s good - tho not enough to get me to pay for the N64 expansion of switch online. they need to release a damn HD version of the game with better framerate and resolution like they did for Turok and Shadowman and Forsaken. maybe they don’t want to bother because it’s a “niche” game or whatever but HOW WRONG THEY ARE

Forsaken’s music kicked ass.
the one thing i know about forsaken is that the ps1 version is compatible with the ascii sphere controller

Is this just a couple wrappers on the old game? The description makes it sound like all it adds is replaced audio, dxwrapper and xidi
Another Japan exclusive
I want a modern controller with a six button layout so bad. Why is this so hard?

Blame the coup and not the release schedule
Neat that they’re preserving some immersive sim-y elements in the 007 combat. Most of this demo is very plodding and slow though.
yeah, that’s all a repack is. in the past five years or so people have been meticulously fixing up all of capcom’s old pc ports so they work on modern computers. you have to download stuff from all overr the place to make any of them work well so its good that people do stuff like this. (see also: klingon academy before you told me about that guys repack lmfao (and even then it has problems!!)) the popularity of these repacks is also why capcom is selling official fixed versions of re1-3 and dino crisis 1-2 on gog now

I don’t know that that’s how I’d describe a hitman level with car chases, gun fights, an uncharted set piece, jumping from an airplane without a parachute etc and isn’t the slow hitman stuff the desirable thing we would want more if we’re going to play a james bond game

willing to give iO the benefit of the doubt but hitman is more about repeated collapses into violent slapstick than a perfect stealth play 1cc run. even if one leads to the other. if here that tension is replaced with scripted “license to kill” setpieces between slower hitman-lite adv areas…hmmm…makes sense for a more restrictive license but i wouldnt say IOs strength is dialogue or adventure game puzzles per se. & the maids horny for james bond dialogue … unpleasant memories of the blood money tutorial level…

“whats your interest in 009?”
009 didnt die before the opening credits?
Is this really james bond game?

The playable level they walked through is assuredly the opening tutorial level, and happens before the opening credits.

I liked the Hitman-esque bits I saw but I only got halfway through because I checked out during the car chase which was just the most boring car chase and did not look very fun at all. Hopefully there are not a lot of vehicle sections.
