There's also a new GOG Dreamlist, where you can vote for your favorite games of yesteryear to get the same treatment. If I might nudge you to the search box and vote for some of the following, you'd have my thanks:
Burnout 3 on PC would be a dream. It's one of the reasons I still keep my 360 around.
Soul Calibur 2 running natively on modern PCs would be a dream come true.
TimeSplitters for sure
If we're making requests I'd like to add some of my own wishes as well:
I was hoping for this after the Resident Evil bundle from a few months ago.
The way Dino Crisis 2 managed to turn the tankiness of the RE/Dino Crisis gameplay into an action-packed shooter is stunning to me and I love that game dearly. Replayed it last year and it holds up surprisingly well!
Now let's hope for a Pararisite Eve GOG release! :D
Parasite Eve is a Square Enix IP, so it's possible it could get a PC port, but I wouldn't count on it going to GOG. They're almost as bad as Nintendo when it comes to hoarding their IPs.
Make Parasite Eve but with the turn based gameplay of "Yakuza:Like a Dragon"
Oh damn, I don't know why I thought it was a Capcom IP. Thanks for reminding me.
I enjoyed the original Dino Crisis, despite the clunky controls, but I never played the second one because I wasn't in the mood to deal with the same interface.
You're saying the controls are better? I might have to give this a shot after 25 years!
Anyone know how it runs on the Steamdeck? I'm aware that Heroic launcher exists, but I haven't looked into it yet.
Thank you, GOG, again!
Oh man, this is a dream come true.
2 was such a blast I probably rented the game from my local movie rental chain enough to actually buy the game.
Especially hot after the newest Ninja Gaiden 2 release. It's almost a lost art having games with such a pure focus on action. It's like a Michael Bay movie, you're not watching/playing for the story, you're playing for the adrenaline rush.
We had a store just around the corner, where I used to live with a friend, we could rent 2 PS1 games for a month for $30 and since we would burn thru both of the games in a week usually we could return them and get 2 more for what the tax would be. Great times and my last console
:O
