Has Knuckles' Chaotix ever had a re-release? Has any 32X version of a game?

[Strider Turbulence EX]

Sonic Origins plus looks good but yeah, no master system versions suck. Being able to actually see more of the screen makes inherently superior versions.

Not that I know outside of its ports of stuff like Blackthorne, MK II, etc. Kinda a shame, 32x had some decent games honestly.

Yeah I watched some video about the Game Gear Sonic games a few months ago and because of the smaller screen they pulled your view way in and it adds all kinds of trial and error jumps and getting hit by stuff off screen that just appears. Definitely not the preferred way to play them if there is a better option.

The Master System thing only applies to 2 games anyways. I'm hoping they feel playable at least. Most of the games are meh, but Triple Trouble is great, Tails Adventure is pretty interesting, but it's been like 15-20 years since I've touched any of them.

Chaotix missing out isn't particularly surprising, I think people were just hoping for it since when the hell else will it get rereleased?

Incredibly long day at work thinking about how I could be playing the RE 4 remake. The wife better give me some runway to dig in tonight!

It's unfortunate that Chaotix isn't in the DLC for completeness, but it's a bad game.  Great visuals and music with the worst 'gameplay' of any Sonic game.

I laughed entirely too hard at this

Though no one's complained about them, I shifted my weekly FH5 playlist posts to a new thread in the gaming discussions section to foster more, uh, discussion.

I'm sure the posts have helped get me most of the tuning accolades, just need a few hundred more likes for the last one.  So I'd like to give back and use / like other people's tunes if they post them, and we can also work at the vinyl and photo accolades.

 

The Rally DLC also drops next week, and the achievements have been made public.

Corpse Killer got a modern remaster, though technically it was a Sega CD/32X game, requiring both add ons

If you get bored of Diablo 4, Midnight Suns is part of the Free Play weekend! Totally forgot to check the Free Play games until recently.

 

HLTB is saying the game is 36 hours though so...don't expect to beat it

CMA has folded - They are longer concerned about Sony.

 

"Having considered the additional evidence provided, we have now provisionally concluded that the merger will not result in a substantial lessening of competition in console gaming services because the cost to Microsoft of withholding Call of Duty from PlayStation would outweigh any gains from taking such action."

It's a wrap - No way the deal gets blocked for cloud gaming.

I noticed my portfolio was up big today.  Maybe my Sekiro purchase/sacrifice appeased the CMA.

Knock me over with a damn feather, a logical decision by a governing board? "They would lose more money than they would gain and companies aren't allowed to operate like that" is way more sound than I expected.

I want to hear the next Sony comment after the masterpiece of "I don't want a Call of Duty deal, I want to block your merger".

As cool as that is, I still really just want to hear all the spilled tea from the Sony exclusivity contracts that Sony had to release to the courts.

 

Also what the other hurdles are there for this big dumb deal between Microsoft and Activision now?

[blueweltall]

Wait until people find out Sony been getting those exclusive deals because they been helping with funding the project and offering technical support. Something Microsoft has not been doing as much since the 360 days.

I'm hoping the Japanese FTC gets involved, for no other reason than to give the MS lawyers an opportunity to just say "Final Fantasy VII Remake" and then do a mic drop.

Common sense prevails! We're one step closer to getting Diablo IV on Gamepass!

This isn't really a one to one comparison. I don't believe Microsoft has paid for a third-party exclusive since Rise of the Tomb Raider. They are mostly doing marketing deals with some day one GamePass releases, while the games still release on PS5/4 the same day.

Now they've bought studios and turned their future games into permanent exclusives, but they've also supported those studios well. So far Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Obsidian, and Bethesda Game Studio have all said they've received a ton of support and resources from Xbox.

Sony has gone for their approach on and off since maybe Street Fighter 5, and ramped it up the last couple of years since they likely can't afford to acquire a bunch of big names like Microsoft did.

[darthfracas]

MS never did full third party exclusivity the way Sony has. They did some timed exclusives or heavy marketing support.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was exclusive to Xbox for a year from its 2015 launch, then came to PS in 2016.

The irony is everyone in the games press shit all over MS for that move, but no one seems interested in holding Sony to that same standard.

Looks like things are going to get spicier. I wonder if this is Microsoft laying some ground work for Japanese acquisitions.

If nothing else it's kicking a hornet's nest at them.

35 min wait to get on Diablo, eager to try necromancer. Only to error and get back in queue.

MS Casual Games rant… why does GPU include the ad free premium version of Solitaire, but no other games like Sudoku? Every time I get an ad in sudoku I just close the app. I’d like to finish off some achievements in that game but the ads for crappy match three games irritate the hell out of me.

Obviously because if all the Microsoft casual games went for free on Game Pass it would create an unfair advantage for them in the gaming market.

I fought and died in the old Console Wars, and while I can say that was all very stupid, this reboot is shaping up.
