based 3x3 poster. this trilogy is pure kino.

Has anybody played the PC port of Enter the Gecko? Is it better or worse than the PS1 original?
>>
This is like a luau at Mel Blanc's house!
>>
>>12022931
I replayed Enter the Gecko a few months ago, it was fun
I don't replay 1 ever since my last replay 10+ years where it hit me just how barebones latter half of the game is - it starts well with Horror and Toon channels but then third channel is 2 fucking levels + "boss", Chinese channel is 3 levels + boss and Channel Z is like 2 levels + Rez. Planet X is probably the most fun part of the game because it's full of short levels where devs just played around the gameplay mechanics that rarely got a spotlight in main game.
I don't ever replay Deep Cover Gecko since 00s, I think it looks worse than Enter the Gecko, I hate the butler who never shuts up, the music is way worse and in lower quantity (all three bosses share the same track? Really?) and I think there are way too many gimmicks to find the actual platforming enjoyable.

Reluctantly agree. Enter the Gecko is peak gex. The other two are okay but not as replayable.

>>12022956
should've used a circuit screenshot instead of 2 prehistory ones

1 had the best gameplay.
2 had the best atmosphere.
3 had the best level design.

Does Gex Trilogy fix the controls? Can he move in more than 8 directions?
>>
Say Gex

PS1 or N64 for Enter the Gecko and 3?
>>
>>12023861
No, they're direct PS1 ports. If anything, you should be concerned with the game-breaking save system they now use. You're better off playing the originals.
>>
>>12023882
ps1 since they dont have cut levels
>>
>>12023909
Gex 64 has an exclusive Titanic level but it looks like shite
>>
>>12023882
PS1. The N64 versions don't even have real analog control. They feel like shit to play.
>>
>>12023861
Weirdly, yes. I don't know how they did it. The controls are true analogue controls. I say it's a mystery because it's not a source port, it's just an emulator and rom that they modded somehow. That said, the emulator also introduces a ton of problems, as you can imagine. Not to mention it's a soulless cash grab.

>>12023926
PS1 Gex never had true analogue control. It was one of many games that mapped the digital movements to the analogue stick. It controls no differently than the N64 version.
>>
>>12022931
Were Gex fans angry when the series went 3D?

Quote from the dev about Enter The Gecko
>It actually started as a 2D game and after three months we had a prototype with Gex jumping around and using this hover mechanic. Then E3 came along and suddenly it was, 'Okay, Crash Bandicoot shows you can do 3D graphics on the PlayStation and Mario 64 has this open world... let's put those two together for Gex!
>>
>>12024116
No, Gex-havers were excited for the promise of the Next Dimension
>>
>>12024116
I'm almost positive the first gex wasn't as popular as the the next two but I'm sure somebody will remember differently
>>
>>12022931
3DO bros, Is it go time? Are we ready to inflict the revenge that Sony (Onions) and Nintendo fans deserve to take? Are they ready to take this pain? 3DO is better than the PS1 and N64 and no amount of coping will help you sleep better at night.
>>
>>12022931
I was replaying 3 and man, it's not as good as I remember it being as a kid.

this is worse than a limbo dance at verne troyers house
