Getting Back Into RetroGaming with Modern Hardware
KeeperofLindblum replied to Unadan's topic in Modern Console Discussion
From my experience, you would be better off with the Everdrive if you want purely Sega genesis games or the RetroFreak if you want everything. The RaspPi is a cheaper route but can be very frustrating to get set up (mostly had issues with controller setup). -
Final Fantasy IX released for PC
KeeperofLindblum replied to JamesD's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I bought it before work and plan to play it once I get home. Final Fantasy IX is easily my favorite in the series. Can't wait to see the PC version all nicely remastered. I got it on Android as well, but I couldn't really get into the touch based controls. -
My previous HDTV had two composite spots and one of those two had s-video. During that period, I used these two mechanical a/v switches with 4 ports to handle eveything. I had few enough HDMI at that point that each one had its own slot. (around 8 consoles at that point) When I changed to my Framemeister setup, I had to rearrange and eliminate the a/v switches. Currently have a 4k HDTV with 5 HDMI spots and one component. All the HDMI are taken (PC, PS3, Dish, HDMI switch, Framemeister). Component for the Wii. HDMI switch has PS4, WiiU, 360 on it. (2 empty ports), and the Framemeister has the PS2 on d-terminal and everything else gets to cycle through the RGB port since a good SCART switch either doesn't exist or is very expensive. Consoles here are NES, SNES, Sega Genesis w/ Sega CD addon, and PS1. So my current setup has 10 consoles on it. I did have the Saturnon Framemeister composite but that is gone. The look from the front is pretty nice, but the rat's nest behind it all is a nightmare. T.T

Afraid not my friend. This is paid for and being shipped out tomorrow, so I'll edit the topic to reflect this. -

Technically, THIS is a family friendly FPS. ---> Super 3D Noah's Ark -
Many Sony Rewards points are expiring on 3/31
KeeperofLindblum replied to boog's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I had juuuust enough for a $10 PSN card. I went ahead and did it because... Worst case I'm picking up Mega Man Legends 2 regardless of anything! So now I already have it paid for (more or less). -
After playing through everything in a line as I did... Completely agree with a majority of your statement here. FFXIII was generally bad while what little time I gave FFXIII-2 was actually pretty impressive. I didn't get far enough to see an ending though... and apparently glad I didn't take the time. No plans to play XIII-3. I wasn't the hugest fan of XII, but I mostly didn't get into the characters or story that much. My last true favorite is FFX. And with FFXV coming down the line... I'm going to give it a shot because I want to hope it's great enough to stand above the rest. Will it be? ...Square Enix has dug a massive hole which they need to get out of because there's so much time and work behind this that if it's not a phenomenal success... Square Enix is probably f***ed. I want XV to be good, but I also would greatly prefer more turn-based RPG. lol

Well ignore what I said before because I clearly read wrong. It is September 30th for the PS4 and XB1 releases.
-
Oops! My phone decided to autocorrect that to 205. Meant to say Sept 20th.
-
I am going to give Final Fantasy XV a shot. They have finally announced a date of Sept 20th. I played the original demo and the updated one. They weren't drastic changes, but it did feel improved in many areas. If they did an update since then... I haven't tried it again. Edit - Corrected a mistyped day.

What happened to couch play?
KeeperofLindblum replied to KWKBOX's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Yes. Sorry that is the term I have seen used lately so that is why I used it. -
What happened to couch play?
KeeperofLindblum replied to KWKBOX's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Because the number of couch co-op titles are slowly dwindling down. Very few "big" titles come out that even offer multiplayer on a single console. At best, most of them offer multiplayer through "1 person per console" or some nonsense like that. You can't even take two people online on one Xbox One. The second person has to have an active gold account for you to do that. From what I've seen and experienced first hand, they don't want multiple people playing on one console anymore. They want multiple people on multiple consoles. You can't do things like a system link anymore and having multiple controllers seems pointless when fewer and fewer titles even offer multiplayer on a single console. I mean... Name five upcoming titles that are set to release on console that offer couch co-op. If you are able to name them, it's probably going to be all indie titles (I've got nothing wrong with indie titles). The WiiU is going to win out overall considering it's one of the few that actively supports multiplayer in a group with their party-style games. (Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Party, New Super Mario Bros) -
I picked it up at the current discounted release price. I also lost track of time and ended up spending like 2ish hours playing it straight up. Game is a LOT Of fun and very weird story (think I got it but unsure?). It really makes you think out your moves... and then you accidentally back up into a bullet. Definitely recommend to someone who likes the idea of a "puzzle FPS"

What happened to couch play?
KeeperofLindblum replied to KWKBOX's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Couch co-op is basically dead unfortunately. What few games have it are (at best) random indie titles. There's not really any AAA gaming material that's doing co-op on a single console anymore. However, you can find a fairly complete listing at this site... http://www.co-optimus.com/ You can even search specifically for "Couch Co-op." -
Looks pretty cool! Very interesting concept as well. Takes something simple and makes it really work out awesomely.

Digimon Story - Cyber Sleuth
KeeperofLindblum replied to KeeperofLindblum's topic in Sony PlayStation 4
Nice! I've really been enjoying the game although I haven't been getting the amount of game time I want to play it. I just saw the mission packs pop up in (of all places) a Gamestop email. I ran off and grabbed them real quick before anybody changed their mind. lol -
Bought a group of the thrift store games. He was quick to test and ship. Showed pictures beforehand. Everything arrived quickly and a great price overall! Would buy from again.
-
Correct. All of the Super Nintendos (minus the Mini) have RGB built into them. You simply use the cable with the proper setup (Framemeister / other RGB-enabling device), and you should be good. Gaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhrrrrrr! I just bought my RGB N64 from Yurkie not too long ago... If it weren't for that, I'd totally be on board for the HDMI mod. Considering my N64 doesn't see much use though, I'll probably skip this HDMI mod.
-
NES and N64 don't have RGB built into them. That's why the NES needs the RGB mod. N64 also needs to be modded for RGB, but it's a bit more selective depending on which mod you do. The only question I have is... I already have an RGB moded N64, but is the HDMI mod better?
-
Personally, I had fun with the game. Is it the best Twisted Metal? No. Is it fun to play? I thought so. I never had any real issues with controls, but I do agree on the whole "let's just make 4 drivers and they do all the vehicles" bit. I don't get why they couldn't have done what EVERY other Twisted Metal had done up to that point. Really wish they'd release a sequel to it but with lotsa improvements. This style of game is pretty much dead at this point, and it makes me sad...
