Just in case anyone interested didn't have them on GOG, bunch of oooold Warhammer games released on steam.

Chaos gate, dark omen, shadow of the horned rat, battle rites, final liberation and fire warrior. Seen a few comments about problems with final liberation not working though.

Oh yes, it definitely has the goofy nature of the beloved franchise; I am not the hardcore fan, but even I recognized nearly all of the characters here; I guess that's how much of a impact SF had to the world for nealy 40 years.

I guess it's impossible to include every character, but I am kidna bummed out on not seeing some of them; Sagat, Sakura, or Seth. and even Dan Hibiki.

Actually, Dan Hibiki would've been amazingly hilarious to have in the movie

Dan is in the movie, but the guy playing him does not look exactly like him. Check the original trailer or the game awards showcase footage.
Oh nvm then; I can already see himself being the comic relief, in a film that already looks to be stupidly-fun time

Nope, Andrew Schulz.

Oh fuck, it looks like they really are leaning more towards horror theme. Sounds good to me! I think this is set 4 years after Metro Exodus? Definitely not Artyom as the MC, but maybe we will run into him

I'm not fond of arcade games, so I would never buy this, but I still think it's kinda neat. If anything, it's a damn sight cheaper than buying the originals, both then and now.
I smell profit. Who would have thought that the Neo Geo would be the cheapest console on the market now. Here's hoping Final Vendetta gets released the year the console comes out. They already got a cartridge built for it.

Nostalgia bait console.
So were the Nes mini, SNES mini, Genesis, and Neo Geo Arcade mini.

yep but they weren't 250 bucks.
You're getting the legit actual hardware. The ave could have gone way higher with that, and i'm happy they didn't. $250 is actually not a bad deal. Especially in this economy right now. They could have gone a little cheaper.But anything's better than paying $800-$900 for a "PRO" console. I wouldn't be surprised if people start buying this up. Be they older gamers or young and newer gamers.

Yeah, but the mini consoles were roms in an emulator box running on a cheap off the shelf SoC.

This seems to be a clone console, a reproduction of the original hardware. And since the original fabrication lines are long gone, that means custom hardware, which isn't cheap, whether their solution is an FGPA or they're actually making new Neo Geo chips. $250 is not unusual for something like that, about the same ball park as other high end clone consoles like Analogue's stuff.

The upside is it's basically a new Neo Geo and should be 100% compatible with original carts, and play them exactly like original hardware does. Most people don't care about that level of accuracy, but these things aren't for everyone.

It's a niche product for hardcore Neo Geo enthusiasts.

Lookie-look, another GOTY for Clair Obscur

Tho this means it has become the second game to have won all five major GOTY awards in a year (TGA, GDC, DICE, Golden Joystick and now BAFTA)

Fyi, the first was Baldur's Gate 3

They're amazing games; a pity I'll never play them.

This game is so unpopular, it might as well be Radioactive. I guess it was Wrecked on release. I could say I've even heard of it before now, but I'd be a Bad Liar. Maybe It's Time to shut it down?


Come on, making puns based on Imagine Dragons song titles is only Natural. I'm So Sorry.

Oh, the misery! More like Imagine Players, amiright?

I mean, I like to think I'm pretty informed about upcoming games news, and this is the first I've heard of it. That may or may not be meaningful.

Seriously tho, why did they think marketing on the bands socials would work? No one likes celebs shilling shit.

Damn it, I was going to make a pun, but you stole my Thunder.
