Comment Available on PSX (Score 2) 251

A buddy and I had the game on our playstations, and it was one of the few the supported the Link cable on that system.

Two CRTs placed near each other, two PSXs , two copies of the game and the link cable made for awesome afternoons.

Played and controlled well enough, especially since the dual[analog|shock] hadn't been released yet.

Comment Re:NIHFS? (Score 0) 121


When anything has a claim to fame of "trying to be better than $GOLD_STANDARD", I am skeptical. There must be very compelling reasons to not just stick with what is tried and true.

Comment Every title is doomed. (Score 3, Insightful) 329


"As games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level - typically fewer than 1 per cent of all peak online players across all EA titles

So every EA online game will die when the figure on a spreadsheet drops below a certain threshold. Why not open source the server software rather than abandon it?

Comment Look for a good Fan Edit (Score 5, Informative) 210


There are some very well done Fan Edits which take footage from various versions of the film and create a fan-friendly version. Han shoots first, no CGI Jabba the Hutt, etc.
You can often spot the differences when they went from HD to a DVD or Laserdisc source to keep the story true to the original, but that's part of the fun.
