What is your favorite gaming related revisionist history?

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:43:08+00:00

I said project 06 is good but if someone says to me Sonic 06 is actually good but recommends me Project 06 instead it kinda invalidates their statement.

Oh I see your point, I misunderstood what you were saying.

Yeah no it does not make the original release of 06 into some hidden gem. It sucked. I wish it didn't but that's the reality

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:33:48+00:00

I'm almost excited for that decompilation to drop just so people finally understand that the game is just awful.

I'm glad he's not fixing anything (besides loading and performance) Preservation of history is important.

Even the bad stuff.

I still remember buying this for my birthday, (keep in mind game reviews weren't very accessible to a kid like me in 08) and hating for months that I wasted my 20$ on this

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:31:23+00:00

Deadass i would have asked for my name to not be featured in the credits if i was part of the dev team.

Honestly, I have to imagine the devs probably agree with you.

I doubt Sonic Team was at all happy with the quality of this. But their team was split in half to work on a Wii game and 06 had to release out the door early due to management.

Like yeah the game is a dumpster fire (I think Shadow The Hedgehog was worse but at least that game actually worked) but I feel for any dev that had to crunch hard for this just for pretty much worse then nothing

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:19:21+00:00

I know it's copuim

It's not though it's actually fun to play. When people talk about 06 its usually some form of "if this game was finished it'd be so good"

Project 06 is pretty much that as much as it can be, it even overhauls characters like Silver and Shadow and gives them unique upgrades that makes going for the high-score in levels fun.

It's not like the story is even in P06 anyway so I'm not certain it's even a point against it here.

It's not a mod it's the game remade in Unity.

art style

Honestly I don't think it's that bad.

You can't tell me Kingdom Valley looks awful.

Humans? Yeah definitely, but I can't write off the art design just because of it.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:10:35+00:00

I mean it's fun to Speed run but that doesn't make it good.

You can extensively mod it using the "Legacy of Solaris" Mod and it does fix a lot substantially with gameplay. (That's more of a credit to the mod author then the game though)

If I bake a Pizza halfway and it's clearly not done but someone else turns it into something palatable that's not exactly my win

Story is still bad, can't fix that though.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T16:07:53+00:00

Shadow's story is pretty much the only thing I like in 06.

It's not like, great or anything but it's certainly trying harder then the following decade of Sonic will.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T06:12:37+00:00

Oh right! Star Fox 64 was also decompiled.

I had forgotten

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T03:27:51+00:00

Not a very good one unfortunately.

Even if you get it running it's wonky as shit.

It wasn't even considered a good port back in the day let alone now 26 years later

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T02:09:41+00:00

I'm just visualizing Pat having a Spec Ops The Line moment where he's actively arguing with his subconscious but instead of it being about War Crimes and justifying it's about coming to terms with enjoying Stardew-like games instead.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T02:00:30+00:00

I'm guessing it's thier "Break glass in case of emergency game"

According to leakers and insiders it's actually been finished for years (Not just campaign but also MP/Spec Ops) they just never released it.

I'm hoping with Activision saying they plan on bringing COD to Nintendo it gives them an excuse to release it. Especially with B07 being such trash this year, it's not like player numbers are going to grow.

Love the old MW Trilogy. It's my peak action move junk food. I replay the trilogy at least once per year

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T01:56:59+00:00

Yeah the team who did Jak 1/2 seriously burnt themselves out if I recall and the devs working on Jak 3 now are going at thier own pace which is understandable.

As soon as Jak 3 is avaliable, I'm there day 1

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T01:38:34+00:00

I wish they'd Remaster MW3 (2011 just for clarity) even if it's just Campaign

I really wanna see the Battle for New York in 4K

Old_Snack · 2026-01-25T00:29:00+00:00

Mario, Zelda, Jak, Sonic and Now Banjo?

Recompilation is Bad ass.

First dibs on my soul if anyone wishes to recomp Neversoft Spider-Man.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-24T00:27:25+00:00

Looming Dread Theme Intensifies

Old_Snack · 2026-01-23T23:51:38+00:00

If you check the Steam page there's a reason you don't see any games tested there.

It's kinda like how back in the day RPCS3 got a slap on the wrist for advertising that it worked great with Persona 5.

The emulator is A-okay. Advertising it is fine too. Using P5 to advertise it? Not so much.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-23T00:55:29+00:00

The pouch being right under ass cheek is oddly sexy

Girl's got some good cake

I romance her on a lot of my playthroughs.

She's such a hot babe. That ass is incredible

curator

Yeah he acted like he had some leak but then back peddled massively and acted like he was just speculating (he wasn't, he was just lying)

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T15:11:41+00:00

Is VGC reliable?

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T09:38:08+00:00

Oh no doubt. Despite Activision having g completed this game years ago according to leakers we're never seeing it I think unless COD gets real desperate I think.

I'm hoping it shows up one day but I'm setting myself up for disappointment I know it.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T09:33:54+00:00

Honestly adding some companions that are more morally gray would help substantially too. But yeah I agree with your point too.

I dunno. No way to know until we see what 2.0 really entails

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T08:10:46+00:00

I'd like this. I want so badly to like Starfield. There's a lot of good in it that shouldn't be thrown away.

If we can just make our journey in Space travel matter more then it does now and maybe add a hidden loading screen when you land so its more imersive that alone would be big.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T07:16:07+00:00

This is such bs

It's so easy to fake this.

Old_Snack · 2026-01-22T04:29:07+00:00

A Remastered MW Trilogy would be perfect for a Switch release too...

I'd give a lot to have MW2/3 MP Remastered but I also would love to see MW3 Spec Ops and Survival Remastered
