In fact, they are such an interesting person all around. I loved chatting to both devs!

They also worked in the same field as I before they transitioned to the CEA!

It should be back up now! A bit of a traffic issue, all fixed :)

Moderator here!

Feel free to reply to them with the game’s name, clear to me that there’s no ‘stealth marketing’ going on :)

Hi there!

Seems like you’re confusing what subjective and objective mean here! Just because you dislike a game, doesn’t in fact make that a universally held belief!

Considering the game is sitting at:

• Very Positive (4,503) - on Steam
• 86 (critic rating) and 7.0 (user rating) on metacritic

…it seems like this is not (once again) a universally held belief. Sorry you’re not liking it, though.

I have the Jack and Daxter games, and have them not emulated. openGOAL decompiled the games so they run natively on PC - which is the way to play them: https://opengoal.dev/

And I’ve been enjoying the Quest for Booty Ratchet & Clank game, via RPCS3! I know I didn’t start at the first, but I’m having such a fun time with it!

The important thing (to me) is the comments where I can tell the writer is utterly in love with a certain game, and does all they can to convince me to play it. And I’ve gotten a fair list of games I’m adding this way!

They do, of course. There’s also a gigantic scene where people modify the consoles. But check my screenshots, this is using PCSX2 via RetroDECK on my Steam Deck, not native hardware.

It plays wonderfully and is my first R&C game I’ve ever tried playing!

I also really enjoy the beachy setting for what I’ve seen of it so far :)

Reminds me of Sand Land!

Better to use openGOAL to play the Jak and Daxter games, the work they do to make them native is absolute magic

Also, appreciate the guide for higher res textures.

You’re so welcome! Let me know if you ever run into any troubles!

I look forward to seeing how the Deck holds up with some of these titles! I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about getting it to use as a portable PS2 myself.

There’s no issue with PS2 games! I raise the resolution up to 3x native (I think? Whichever one is 1080, anyway), and also apply HD texture packs. There’s not one issue I’ve come across on a PS2 game so far. And setting RetroDECK up to play them is a breeze!

Do it!

I’ve already got Spider-Man 2 on there (others also recommended it), but reading through your list, these all look wonderful! I didn’t actually know the ‘Stories’ games on PS2 for GTA didn’t end up on PC, thanks for that tip!

They kinda did when they shared the posts on social media earlier:

Can your PC run this news? ;)

Amen

I’ve been playing Ratchet & Clank (something-or-other-about-booty) via RPCS3 on my Steam Deck, and I’ve been loving that! Totally forgot R&C got their start on PS2. Thanks!

I can understand that, but having never owned any PS2, and only played some of what it offered by modern remakes…there’s really nothing I’m going to ignore. Not sure why I’d cull this down when I don’t want any suggestions culled down.

What I’m looking for is what people enjoyed playing themselves. Generally when someone loved a game, they’ll recommend it and explain why they did. Thanks anyway!

Voyager makes moderating a breeze, too!

They made an announcement on their Steam event page, which goes into more detail as to why they did it this way.

Previously, we offered free Key applications to replace game versions for existing players. However, as of this month, the number of supplementary Keys distributed has exceeded 30% of the total sales volume prior to this initiative—and we still receive numerous feedbacks from players stating they haven’t received their Keys, along with complaints about slow email response times.​
