Looks like it’s infodump time.
Sega released the Genesis/Mega Drive in 1988, then to extend its capabilities they released the Sega CD/Mega CD addon in 1991, which was followed by a second addon, the 32X, in 1994. There were even some games that required both add-ons, resulting in a high initial investment from consumers. The base Genesis/Mega Drive was massively successful outside of Japan and the Sega CD/Mega CD did reasonably well, but the 32X flopped. This was due to a lack of interest, partially because they also released the Genesis’/Mega Drive’s successor, the Sega Saturn, in 1994 (the 32X actually released after the Saturn in Japan).
In the fourth-generation console war Sega only had to deal with Nintendo as their main competitor. For the fifth-generation there was a second front. PlayStation came out in 1994 in Japan and was a success from launch. Sega was terrified. Both the Saturn and PlayStation would debut internationally in September 1995 and Sega knew they had to do something decisive to get ahead. E3 1995 would make or break Saturn in America and Sega had a plan to beat Sony. At their presentation Sega declared that Saturn would be available immediately, four months ahead of the previous release date, at select retailers at a price of $399. This gamble backfired massively on Sega. The retailers that weren’t part of the early release were pissed and some even boycotted Sega over this. The second blow came from Sony. At the PlayStation presentation they had one of their presenter walk on stage, say “299” and leave. This number was PlayStation’s price.
By the time Dreamcast came out in 1998 Sega had tanked their reputation with consumers and retailers and they never stood a chance against the PlayStation 2. Additionally, the PS2 had almost complete backwards compatibility with its predecessor and it played DVDs. It had better specs than the Dreamcast, but not GameCube and Xbox. It is also worth noting that the PS2 was so successful that it actually outsold all three of it’s competitors combined.
No, but Victor Ireland now runs Gaijinworks. However, it looks like neither are involved based on the credits on the PlayStation Store page for the game.
Wouldn’t these not work on an unmodified PlayStation without an exploit? The system has copy protection that’s specifically meant to prevent bootlegs from running. Did they figure something out to bypass that like on the Dreamcast that I don’t know about?
I have to stay away from first-person games because they make me super nauseous.
At best these fake emulators are just wasting your time (probably for ad revenue) and at worst they’re trying to steal your bank account.
I don’t remember exactly what lead up to it, but I ended up watching reruns of Voyager with my dad every day back when Spike TV was still a thing. I think that really improved my relationship with him.
Yo dawg, I heard you like emulating, so I put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.
I double checked and it seems that this article is wrong. I’ve got another article from last year that shows PS4 copies were available.
I thought there were physical PS4 copies too, but the article says otherwise.
Not as a physical release. Physical copies were only available on Switch until now.
More or less. I think there are some differences between the Q and K based models, but they’re close enough to not require separate ports of Rockbox.
You should look into Rockbox. It’s an open source alternative firmware for a variety of portable media players that adds features such as support for more file formats (and it runs Doom). As for which supported players I’d recommend then maybe a flash modded iPod or an AIGO Eros Q or K (also sold as the HIFI WALKER H2, Surfans F20, or AGPTek H3).
If you listen closely to the buzzing it makes you can hear the Game Boy begging for the sweet release of death.
In all seriousness though, I’m more than happy with the available “off-the-shelf” Game Boy mods. Not to mention that things like this are way beyond my skill level.
If you mean like older Megami Tensei games or Etrian Odyssey, then I can handle those. If you mean something more like Skyrim, then that’s a no.
RPGs all the way for me. Nearly all first-person games make me incredibly nauseous. I’m highly prone to motion and simulator sickness.
Blue Dragon and Infinite Undiscovery are both 360 exclusives and were well received. Neither have ever been available on any other system. I have both, but I’ve only played Blue Dragon so far. I haven’t made a lot of progress yet, but it could be the game you described based on what I have seen.
Qmmp can use them too.
My late grandmother loved Ancient Aliens except when they said anything Christian was aliens. When that happened she would get offended and yell at the television. Her religion was real, but all the other ones were aliens.
Assuming you mean legally, the best options are Paramount+ (or whichever service it’s on outside the US) or on Blu-ray. None of the television series are available in 4K to my knowledge, but the movies are.
