Playstation

[Nepsotic]

I can't say one way or the other. I bought it, escaped from Rupture Farms, and then lost interest.

There are a few minor bugs, nothing serious. I played through both on my PSP and experienced fewer crashes than when I played it through the first time on PS1.

[Takeshi]

Guys, if I find a bug its fine, im not going to sit in a corner and cry about I spent £2 on this game for Steam I can still play the game, I need a good controller to buy to play these games!

[Nepsotic]

There really is no need, you get used to keyboard controls, in fact, keyboard and mouse is the best way to play any game.

[OANST]

Read reviews online or something.

Wow

I don't think even MeechMunchie is fanboyish enough to say something that stupid.

I do play a PSX version of AE at the moment and I am used to the mouse and keyboard but I just wanted to see what a controller was like.

Yes I know why am I buying a Steam account when I've got a PSX version of the game, the Laptop is laggy ( hence why im buying a new one ) and I want to play all the OW games.

[Crashpunk]

I always thought AO and AE was better on Keyboard anyway. MO and SW on the other hand, you might as well buy a 360 controller.

You couldn't be more wrong. Third Person Action/Platformers like R&C or Crash Bandicoot for example are better played with a Controller in my opinion. And I repeat. OPINION! Some people are so used to controller, they hate Keyboards + Mouse.

EDIT: Also why do people always refer the Playstation to the PSX! PSX was that Playstation with a built in Digital video recorder that was never released outside of Japan.

I wouldn't say every game. Third Person Action/Platformers like R&C or Crash Bandicoot are better played with a Controller in my opinion, Apart from that yeah; Keyboard and Mouse are the best

I do have a wired Xbox 360 wired controller already, but Im not sure on how to setup the controls on games, especially Crash Bandicoot 3, is it because I play a PSX version, and the Steam is the full legit game?

[Wings of Fire]

No, don't be stupid. Games that are specifically developed for consoles are optimized for controllers. This is basic logic.

Really now.

[Crashpunk]

Playing Crash Bandicoot 3 with a Xbox controller...

What does that have to do with the fact I want to use a controller

[Varrok]

TOUCH SCREENS ARE THE FUTURE

[Takeshi]

TOUCH SCREENS ARE THE FUTURE

How would you play AO and AE on a touchscreen I think it would be hard

[OANST]

From what I can tell, the keyboard and mouse set up is phenomenal for FPS, RPG, and RTS games, but severely lacking for platformers. And I fucking love platformers.

[Crashpunk]

What he said.

[Takeshi]

I will be playing with a keyboard and mouse with AO and AE but its just SW and MO I needed a controller for.

[Varrok]

What he said.

Hey, I saw the previous version of that post!

[Crashpunk]

Okay then fine, use your 360 controller. It should have controller support, if not? well maybe there are some plugins you can install.

I don't know. I've never used a 360 controller on PC before. >_>

Hey, I saw the previous version of that post!

Curses, fooled again. And yes it was aimed at you. Touch screens? Baah! There a fun gimmick like 3D.

You said that. If anyone gave a shit, or had any recommendations they would have said so.

What controller do you use for SW and MO?

[Crashpunk]

I don't.

I used my keyboard and mouse which I don't recommend. I was thinking about getting a 360 controller but Valve are apparently dropping 360 support on Steam because they hate Microsoft. That and they are apparently making their own controller.

Heh, I should of told you that before.

[Takeshi]

I don't.

Dont worry, well I'll take a look online sure I will find something

Look guy if you want to play these games on a PSOne that’s entirely up to you. I don’t understand where all the PC evangelists came from.

Check Amazon, eBay, local game shops and local used/pawn shops. PSOnes really aren’t that expensive, and a PS2 (which could play the same games and more) is not much more expensive.

Maybe you should read what people suggested and posted, someone said if you have a good computer then to get Steam, and it just so happens in a week or 2 I am getting a new laptop. An Alienware laptop, so thats where it come from.

[Takeshi]

Why not consider getting a Steam account and playing all four Oddworld games on the PC?

Think im gonna go with this

[MeechMunchie]

I don't think even MeechMunchie is fanboyish enough to say something that stupid.

I'm no fanboy, my preferences are based on sound reasoning and past experience.

But yes, I am currently using a joypad to control my GBA emulator. I like to lean back in my chair so that the image looks roughly the right size, and the buttons are pretty close to the real thing.

[Daxter King]

I wouldn't buy a PS3 this late in the console cycle if I were you. The PS4 will probably be out in a year and a half.

I plan on buying a PS3 later this year. It will be much cheaper than a PS4 at launch, allow me to watch blu-rays, and I can catch up on exclusives. I'll probably jump onto the next Xbox over PS4 anyways.

[Nate]

What you mean its not a good port?

How so?

On my PAL PS3, the game was shown in a small, low-res box in the middle (but off-centre vertically) of the large screen. It had been stretched slightly - just enough to look blurry and crap - but not enough to fill the screen from top to bottom. The letterboxing was in-game, though, so I couldn't even tell my monitor to widen the image. I can only assume it was a very cheap job at converting an NTSC image to PAL.

Not a bad idea but, well when I get my college money I was going to buy an alienware laptop, and can I play all the OddWorld games with a steam account?

Yes. You won't need a new computer to play AO or AE, though. They've been playable on computers since 1997, so any computer still working today should be able to support them.

[Nepsotic]

On psp you can change the screen, so it can't be the port. Maybe you can change it on PS3,too.

I get you now, well now Im just stuck between a Steam account or a PS1.
