The only issue with Stuntman on emulators is it’s one the last remaining games not playable on PCSX2. There’s been consistent issues with the AI pathing on one of the levels and they haven’t been able to patch it after all these years.
I’m not saying it won’t ever be, but it may continue to be unplayable on non-native hardware for a while longer.
I am not ashamed to admit it either. I even made the effort to get the PS2 ports of the two games that released on PSP, however I still need to play those.
It is a goal of mine to have every single R&C game playable on my PC. The only one I’m still waiting on is the PS4 version, and it’s only a matter of time with ShadPS4.
Luckily since you have a Deck, you can realistically change your thumbsticks should they get damaged.
No one mentioned the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank games. Those were my childhood growing up and in my opinion hold up gameplay-wise to this day.
Plus the Jak series have a native launcher called OpenGOAL.
While I never played them myself, I have heard good things about the Sly Cooper series.
Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc is where it’s at. I consider that peak Rayman. Would love another game with that vibe.
GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.
I personally remember thinking, “This is like Driver, but better.” I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn’t let me play, so I to do it when she wasn’t around.
The mechanics are definitely a bit clunky which adds to the difficulty. But outside of that, the game doesn’t feel that difficult to play.
Then again, I only got to the yard as a kid, so maybe the game gets noticeably harder after that.
Lol, when I played it as a kid, it was on my grandma’s tiny ~13" CRT, so I can’t imagine the tv was doing much heavy lifting. My housemate does have a 60" TV I could try though…
Reminds me I gotta finish this game. I have it emulated on my phone. I only finished the house so far. It’s weird playing it as an adult versus as a kid. Back then the game felt much bigger and more difficult.
By that definition, I would say they reached that milestone quite a while ago.
When I tried Sony’s 5 IV last year, it came with a headphone jack. Most of Sony’s lineup comes with it I believe.
In a similar vein, when you drive anywhere in your vehicle you don’t keep your engine at the red line at all times. You would wear it out within 20,000 miles at best. In fact, the engine almost always tries to be at the lowest rpm feasible.
We should strive to be like our vehicles: operating at the lowest load possible, hustling only when necessary.
I like that he’s being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.
Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?
I bought that Saturday morning at full price. No regerts. In 5 days, I dumped about 30 hours into it.
Define “meaningfully”. There have been several different types of innovations in recent years depending on how you look at it.
Mazda made a gas engine that can switch from spark plug ignition to compression ignition. Though I don’t think they brought it to the states.
Nissan made an engine that can vary its compression ratio on the fly. Something no other engine can do to my knowledge.
Hyundai made a cam shaft that can vary the length of time it opens and closes the valves rather than just varying the time that they open.
There’s a company called Speed of Air that designed piston heads that have dimples in them like a golf ball. Those dimples apparently can significantly improve the engine’s power and, more importantly, its efficiency. Though I don’t have a video link talking about that. Just their site.
Porsche also designed a 6 stroke engine. Though I’ll have to watch the video again as I don’t remember much about it.
If you want to get more experimental, someone made something called a rotary vane engine.
People are definitely still trying to find ways to improve the internal combustion engine. It’s just this technology takes time to reach the mainstream, if it ever does.
Edit: Nvm, it’s a pretty short article that doesn’t say much, but it does include pictures of it.
Agreed. 2/10, would not recommend to a friend
