Yeah, videogames make your kids gay after all

SSX Tricky

Remember when McDonald's used to have the game on the GameCube in these enclosures?

Never seen them before. Those analog sticks on the purple and spice controllers have been destroyed.I actually had SSX Tricky on the GameCube – despite also having a PS2. Doing tricks with the GameCube's tiny GBA-style d-pad was an awkward experience. Tricky is my favourite entry in the series, though in hindsight, the “It's Tricky” / “Tricky” sound effects you get every time you land tricks can get annoying.

This is out tomorrow. It's a PS1-style horror game. Seems to be getting positive reviews (also available on PS5 irc)

Stuff like this is why I hate retro revivals. It is nothing like a PS1 game. It doesn't even look like a PS1 game because they confuse FMV renders with what the games look like. The camera doesn't work with the control system it's promoting and then they give an option to use 'modern' controls which destroys the balance. Tank controls limit movement making enemies a threat via no good escape options. Modern controls you can run circles round a monster and are never pressured by anything.

Likely waifu bait garbage so 0/10. Should have been a RPGmaker game.

I agree. No interest in these PS1 revival projects myself. I'd rather play a real PS1 game.

Kids should be out and active when they're going to McDonalds.

McDonalds GameCube kid walked so iPad kid could run.

Yeah, looks like zoomer made trash. All of those "retro horror inspired" games look like they're made by 20 year olds who heard about PS1 horror games but never played one.

This pretty much goes for retro or pixel art everything, insert genre as necessary.

 

[Hell Swarm]

Indie Hades. Looks to be pretty well made and probably worth the low price tag.

Green man gaming has an anniversary sale on right now. Well worth checking out since it's got a lot of games for very cheap.

This game is a strange case, because no survival horror game ever looked like that, even the very weird looking Ecstatica. It looks kind of FF-ish, some other non-survival horror PSX game whose name escapes me. It's not that it doesn't look like a PSX game, it just doesn't look like a good PSX game. It's a bizarre choice, because even if you aren't good at making 3D models, this is clearly an aesthetic choice that doesn't work in the slightest.

There are plenty of other psx style survival horror revivals that seem more appealing for fun I'll just list some recent and upcoming ones that start with the letter H: Hollowbody, Heartworm, Holstin, and Homebody. Resident Evil survival inspired horror is trending pretty strongly, we even got near a dozen dino crisis inspired things out there in the ether.
