Exactly.

Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

Ahhh the manuals… and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.

Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro

I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.

I dont’t think I’ve ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.

FF7 was hot garbage

Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.

Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted

Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

But I admire your hate version.

Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I’m salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion… HOWEVER…Oni’s engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (…and perhaps GTA VI…?)

I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
