The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
Starting today, Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until December 19 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
"If you're a 2D puzzle adventure aficionado who doesn't already own Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty on one of the half dozen consoles that it's currently available for then it'll make for a worthy purchase but those who do have it will find little reason to get it again on Switch." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
I agree about the premium option of paying slightly more to have backwards compatability if and only if it actually costs significantly more to actually include it into the console. Like right now I want to play Dynasty Warriors 3, but no I can't. (I have tried emulating it on my pc but I gave up after the download was taking forever)
Isn't that the whole purpose of people paying for PSNOW? If obviously has some serious value to some gamers as they are willing to pay a handsome fee to play those old games.
For me, it is nice to have. But there is just no way I will pay extra to have it.
It would be awesome if Sony let you played all the PS3 games you downloaded with your PS+ membership through PSNow on your PS4 as long as you still have your PS+ subscription of course.
But how will we get more remasters? /s
Its not important, but its really good to have. One reason the PS2 was the best console of all time because it was 2 of the best in 1. Its great in the wiis too. I love that my PC library goes about as far back as I want.
What they can at least do is have digital downloads for all PS1, PS2, and PS3 as well as all Original Xbox and Xbox 360 for current gen consoles. I know I would love to play Crash on my PS4.
