I still feel it is only a matter of time. I mean they already have ported over 1. The bigger question is if they will use the Xenoblade 2 graphics engine.

The sad thing is that digital distribution has made games like this pretty common.

Like, seriously, no one would bat an eye at Big Rigs if it had originally been released on Steam in this day. It fits right in with all the other trash.

…Are there a lot of games that lack collision on Steam?

[up]Yes? They're mostly terrible asset flips you wouldn't run into you deliberately looked for them though.

[up][up] Oh, you have no idea...

There have been 'games' that have launched without executable files. You literally pay for absolutely nothing in return. And that's just one thing that can go wrong with these "games".

Skylight Freerange 2: Gachduine is a particularly infamous example:

This is on the official PlayStation YouTube account. You can buy this game on the PS4 right now. It's listed twice for some reason. Both versions are the same.

It's $24 Dollars (USD). Black Mesa costs less than this.

[up] The miracle of digital distribution, with none of that pesky curation or quality control.

Speaking of "control", look up Air Control sometime. That's another "good" one, much closer to Big Rigs in spirit. That one's actually been delisted from Steam, but there are let's plays and such still out there.

…"Made by Killjoy Games". Ain’t that fitting. [lol]

All this kinda reminds me of Action 52 for the NES and Net Yaroze for the PS1. Compilations of cheap amateur games that are barely functionning at best.

Wha happun: Dragon Ball Evolution

It does make me wonder what would happen if Geogre Lucas make this movie instead.

E.T technically is a Isekai movie

Fun fact: James Marsters, being the person who probably gave the most shits about the source material, would later go on to voice Zamasu in Super's dub.

I want to say he only even became a fan of the original series through involvement with Evolution at that, so it's a fun bit of trivia to note.

After the recent Cyberbug 2077 release debacle, I wonder if a future episode will cover its production. There's probably a story behind that which hits all the beats of most of the stuff covered on this show: development delays, crunch, etc.

The story (or saga, if you will) of the Saturn's most famous RPG. This game was honestly doomed from the start and it's a wonder it even came out at all never mind being pretty good on its own merits.

I wonder how viable it would have been to switch the game’s development to the Dreamcast midway through…

[up][up]I still remember seeing them on sale in the Saturn’s twilight days at Toys R Us, a last break for a system no one wanted. Still have my copy.

"A man that need not be introduced…" [lol]

Ah well, a Sonic RPG wasn’t necessarily doomed to fail, considering how it went for Mario.

This guy does realize that Sonic Chronicles actually sold decently well and was well-received?

The funny thing is that most of the games this guy treats as total failures sold more than his videos about them get views, but I suppose that doesn't change either his arrogance or how these videos make his fans feel good about hating games.

I myself enjoyed Sonic Chronicles when I played it back in the day but appeal to sales isn't a good argument. Lots of bad games sold well because they were hyped up and then turned out poorly.

And on the reviews front I think the point being made was less that it's bad and more that it's "just" alright compared to the rave reviews BioWare's prior and subsequent stuff released to.

The game's gameplay wasn't given any focus for it, most of the video was about the developmental history and the problems that came with the game's story.
