Yeah, videogames make your kids gay after all

SSX Tricky

Remember when McDonald's used to have the game on the GameCube in these enclosures?

Never seen them before. Those analog sticks on the purple and spice controllers have been destroyed.I actually had SSX Tricky on the GameCube – despite also having a PS2. Doing tricks with the GameCube's tiny GBA-style d-pad was an awkward experience. Tricky is my favourite entry in the series, though in hindsight, the “It's Tricky” / “Tricky” sound effects you get every time you land tricks can get annoying.

This is out tomorrow. It's a PS1-style horror game. Seems to be getting positive reviews (also available on PS5 irc)

Stuff like this is why I hate retro revivals. It is nothing like a PS1 game. It doesn't even look like a PS1 game because they confuse FMV renders with what the games look like. The camera doesn't work with the control system it's promoting and then they give an option to use 'modern' controls which destroys the balance. Tank controls limit movement making enemies a threat via no good escape options. Modern controls you can run circles round a monster and are never pressured by anything.

Likely waifu bait garbage so 0/10. Should have been a RPGmaker game.

I agree. No interest in these PS1 revival projects myself. I'd rather play a real PS1 game.

Kids should be out and active when they're going to McDonalds.

McDonalds GameCube kid walked so iPad kid could run.
