Like why release it if it has known bugs that you are already aware of? They have to be significant for him to mention it on release day. Unacceptable, and the release should've been delayed if there wasn't going to be a day one patch.

Scummy practice.....now i'm not getting this for months until it's known all bugs are resolved if at all.

 

[adamsapple]

We know what Tomba! means for the fans

 

[Banjo64]

I would really prefer if you'd be quiet

 

[unclbenn]

i hope the limited run release is patched when that comes out.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Stupid. The reviews and first impressions are important. You can't expect outlets to go back and re-review your game.
SwitchUp does that pretty often for Switch games, but that's about it.

[Maiden Voyage]

This will be an easy buy when it hits $5

 

[Deerock71]

How does Tomba launch with bugs?!

 

[MayauMiao]

I never heard about this game until this video.

 

[crazyriddler]

"Please don't buy this on day one. Better wait until it's on sale for $5 and fixed."

Stupid.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Release now, fix it later.

With the reduced excuse that it's not even a new game.

The 4 most socially awkward people I've ever seen in my life.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

As if we did not see this coming at all.

 

[Fahdis]

"Please don't buy this on day one. Better wait until it's on sale for $5 and fixed."

Stupid.

Mine is for $8 in the regional store. Am I the baddie?

 

[Alexios]

What are the issues? No software is 100% bugless so to say otherwise would be a lie. Now if it's some game breaking thing that means 90% of players will not be able to play or finish the game, sure, you have a point, but just saying they're aware of issues they're fixing is like, just a duh moment

80% positive on Steam atm so can't be that bad/immediately obvious there are issues. Most complains seem to be fluff like the game being stuck to 4:3 like the original without widescreen hacks or whatever and general lack of advanced options emulators with decades of updates offer nowadays.

Do people think that whenever a company announces a release date or that a given game has "gone gold" that means that 100% reported by the QA bugs have been eliminated and only issues discovered after the fact will be present in the pressed/launched copies of the game or what? Never, lol.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Games have been released broken for a long ass time. Blame the industry, blame consumers.

Edit for a recent example Alone in the dark had endings that were bugged.

 

[MacReady13]

Release now, fix it later.

With the reduced excuse that it's not even a new game.

How fucking retarded are these devs? I mean seriously, were shareholders hanging for this game to be released specifically on the EXACT day they said it would come out? Why not delay it to fix the issues? Fuck gaming today is bullshit.

 

[cireza]

Pretty sure MVG is in a situation where he would have preferred not having to do this communication, but he is not the one who decided to release the game at this date. This sucks even more if there is a physical release at the same time.

 

[Esppiral]

Wasn't this just shoddy emulation?

 

[Deft Beck]

Why not just delay the game?

 

[cireza]

Wasn't this just shoddy emulation?

They say they have an engine they use for their re-releases, but I think this is mainly a "wrapper" engine in which they drop an emulator. It probably streamlines features around the emulator, like retroarch I guess.

So yeah, if they have bugs, it means it is either their wrapper engine that brings new bugs, or their emulator that is not good enough.

So this is pretty much just an emulated version with some bells and whistles?

Does it even have any CRT filter? This is going to look beyond awful on my PS5 and 4K Oled.

Why didn't they remake it with these kinds of graphics?

While I'm glad that Tomba gets some recognition and perhaps if we're lucky a future sequel, this smells like a cashgrab and a poor one at that.

 

[butane bob]

It emulates perfectly on multiple free emulators. And you get more options and higher quality in terms of how you want to present it too. What a joke.

 

[Hudo]

Like why release it if it has known bugs that you are already aware of?

 

[Jack Package]

I've been looking forward to this, but I think I'll just emulate it instead. Or fire up the PS3 version.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I don't know what I expected from this video, but it hits hard.

 

[Esppiral]

Amazing PCSX - Rearmed.....

 

[Krathoon]

So, you might as well just play the original in an emulator. God, this is stupid.

 

[Krathoon]

Also, they are using a shit emulator.

 

[Esppiral]

Also, they are using a shit emulator.

Absolutely... I don't know if the likes of duck station can be licensed but that is a vastly better emulator than pcsx rearmed

 

[Melon Husk]

CRT shader should be the default setting in these PSOne ports.

 

[adamsapple]

Amazing PCSX - Rearmed.....

1. They're using a very old, supposedly reliable, emulator and still getting errors?
2. Of all the emulators, they chose that? Duckstation or even EPSXE would be much better options.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. Duckstation would work great.

 

[diffusionx]

Not going to knock them on the choice of emulator (if it works it works) but this is the best "be careful what you wish for" release I can remember.

 

[Krathoon]

Hey! Enjoy your broken video game you paid full price for!

 

[Krathoon]

"Hey guys we are going to release a partially finished product. Bear with us because your such great fans!"

That is the attitude we are dealing with these days. Yeesh.

Good thing they don't work for Boeing.

Reminds me of the half assed written, final two episodes of the last season of Doctor Who.

 

[Spukc]

i hope the limited run release is patched when that comes out.

I hope people don't spend cash on limited fun games

 

[John Bilbo]

Tomba Raider

 

[Krathoon]

This bug is still in the game from the original.

 

[Trilobit]

Tomba 2 doesn't deserve this kind of video. It's ugly beyond belief, but has very fun puzzles to solve. There are unfortunately very few games in that wonderful genre.

Honestly, that video was painful without green hoodie guy. The moustache guy is where charisma goes to die. I empathize with GHG as he at least tries to do something entertaining even if he fails completely. The rough part is that if you're with a fun group you can riff off eachother and build up a poor joke into something amazing, so I feel the others are much more cringe inducing and probably have zero social skills.

I'm only basing this on that short video so I might be completely wrong.

 

[Krathoon]

I just started the game and I already see a bug in the start menu. The graphics on the clouds are corrupted.

 

[Krathoon]

It sounds like that game has numerous bugs. There is a whole laundry list on Steam.

These bugs were not in the original release of the game.

It is not game breaking stuff, but it really makes you just want to load up the game in Duckstation.

 

[Barakov]

Amazing PCSX - Rearmed.....

Whatever. I'll just emulate it.
