Awesome news ! Played these games a ton on Saturn, especially Duke Nukem. Amazing port.

This was a true 3D engine so Duke Nukem 3D on Saturn has features no other port have to this date.

you mean the free look?

Exhumed to this day is the best the FPS ever made with level design up there with Mario IV levels of perfection and showing how a Metroid 3D was to be done, years before Prime.

The point of view tilts right and left when turning for exemple. Not possible on the base engine. You also have dynamic lighting applied on textures.

Powerslave is such a fantastic game. Absolutely love the progression system in which you unlock stuff in previous levels as you progress through the game similar to the Metroid games. The DOS version is pretty dull but the console versions are peak.

Shame Powerslave 2 got cancelled, would've been interesting to see what it could've been.

Absolutely. Like so many Saturn fans back in the day I was delighted when they were handed porting duties for Duke Nukem and Quake despite having not played Exhumed. We knew they were in safe hands, especially with the praise they were receiving on a near monthly basis in Sega Saturn Magazine (uk). They were great ports but when I eventually did get round to Exhumed, well, it wiped the floor with them didn't it? Pity they didn't get to do Saturn Doom too.

Incidentally, Exhumed received a Steam update out of nowhere 3 days ago. And today the Slavedriver source code is released. Strange coincidence....

 

[Redneckerz]

Awesome release, hope Quake and Duke Saturn get native ports.

 

[acm2000]

even to this day im still shocked everytime i see the saturn ports by Lobotomy, such an insanely talented team.

i really hope devs do something cool with this.

 

[Gitaroo]

Hope voidpoint make Ion Fury 2 with it.

 

[Aldynes]

I'd love to see a port of Blood and Shadow Warrior on the slavedriver engine, would be amazing to have the holy build trinity on Saturn.

Yeah, I remember Lobotomy even joking that they should move to the UK with the coverage they were getting in SSM LOL

A Lobotomy Doom wouldn't have been any better mind, given Carmark wouldn't allow heavy use of the VDP1 and that's what hurt Saturn's Doom so much

Powerslave/exhumed is like £2 on CDkeys so bought to relive those days of renting out the Saturn original
