Just download comix zone and had a play for about 10 minutes. Found it alright. No real slowdown. But I hate touch screen controls like that so its not for me.

The Last Bandit

I picked up a Nvidia Shield tablet recently, originally didn't plan on using it for gaming just want a powerful cheap tablet for media etc without having to spend 400+ on a Samsung or similar.

Paired with its controller, it really is excellent for gaming. All the emulators I'm using support the controller (up to PSP & PS1 stuff) and play very well. The majority of android games I'm playing also support the controller and for those that don't it has a feature to map touch areas to buttons accurately.

Not tired the broadcasting from PC though as my graphics card isn't compatible..

Just played Sonic on ios, it's not bad, some of the ads between stages are quite long though

Well that's The Last Guardian complete, the controls and camera made the game hard work, more so when you have to partner the game with Trico but over all a beautiful game. Has the same emotion Ico and Shadow of the Colossus have.

Its worth pushing through those controls to unearth a work if art. One of those games I'll remember. Played the new Tomb Raider before it and honestly don't remember a lot of it.

It's a great game, stays with you.
The controls and camera are definitely stuck in the PS2 era, but it is still remarkable stuff.

I keep trying it and can't get into it. I want to love it but the controls are garbage and not helped by the criminal framerate.

Oh go on, you'll be blaming the controller next!

It's more that the act of moving the character around isn't fun and I've not been finding the puzzles that engaging.

Going to take a long break from it and maybe try it again in a few weeks.

Oh, just get an adaptor for the CDi controller, then he won't be blaming anything at all.

So I've just been looking into getting my ps1 running at 60hz. Since its software bound it means I'd have to replace all my PS1 games....won't be doing that.

I'll probably end up "backing up" my NTSC games and using a playing them on a "special" console.

I did read that playing PS1 games on a PS2 will run them at 60hz, anyone know if this is true?

Retr0gamer

Nope it's not true.

Off to tesco to buy a stack of CDs it is so.

Usgamer having a moan that Europe gets a better special edition of the metroid 2 remake. At leastvt y ey are getting it or it's not slowed down with squished borders!

DinoRex

Or with german subtitles that you can't turn off.

Special editions are almost universally a load of arse and representative of the aggressive, empty consumerism that dominates the mainstream gaming sphere.

That and POP Vinyl. God I hate POP Vinyl.

DinoRex

Sometimes I worry that there might already be a probably a Funko Vinyl Pop figure of me.

Jack burton

**** pop vinyls!! Thank god I'm not the only one

Retr0gamer

Funko are just awful ****e. They just take out all the detail and look like nothing. Just compare them to the Japanese models for the same price. They are so much better and even super deformed ones.

DinoRex

It's so frustrating as it's usually the only merchandise available for a lot of franchises.

Like I'd love a Princess Caroline figure from Bojack Horseman... but all that's available is an awful Funko figure with it's horrid beady shark eyes.

I moved house and had to haul or dump all kinds of videogame tat too often to want to buy anymore. The Metroid package looks nice and I'm tempted but I know it'll be gathering dust on a shelf within a weak and that I'd be happier with the standard version.

If you're playing them on a special PS2, you can load games over ethernet from your PC or laptop.

Apologies if that's not okay mods, just trying to help a man save his laser

*edit* That may only be PS2 games and not PS1 though
