Unfortunately for you ben, I don't think this was going to ever be anything other than a straight port of the 360 version to modern consoles!ben.shinobi wrote: If it's a single X360 port on switch/PS4, it will be a massive deception...

They hit 3 for their Cave Switch ports, so I think we're probably in good hands here. That said, I'd be curious to know what the original 360 versions clocked in as.m.sniffles.esq wrote:Is anyone giving an over/under on the frames of lags that will be inevitably complained about??
I'll put it at four if anyone wants that action...
I'd go in on that, too. But I'd also guess 4, so maybe it's not that interesting.m.sniffles.esq wrote:Is anyone giving an over/under on the frames of lags that will be inevitably complained about??

I think there's a parallel between Live Wire and City Connection as they both use previous gen console ports as a basis.jehu wrote:At 6, it'll just be labelled unplayable and many 'Shitty Connection' parallels will be strewn about. At 7, expect torches and pitchforks.
Yup. I bought it when the game first launched in the eshop, but am now getting an error screen when looking at the page:BrianC wrote:Darn it! Seems to have disappeared from the US eShop.
They probably were pressured to drop it on the day of the Nintendo Direct.StarLightMoonLight wrote:Hopefully it'll be back up in a few days if not by tomorrow, but it makes me wonder how much time they even put into the port in the first place given how they published it in its current state only to pull it a few hours later. It just seems unprofessional.

The higher resolution assets? Only if you don't have an RGB CRT, though - I always thought the game looks way better in its original form, the remade graphics never were even 720p-compliant to begin with and neither got an actual 4:3 mode for a VGA monitor.Is there a point in buying this if I already have the Saturn version other than handheld mode?
Practice/Training options. The 360 version allows you to practice stages with a decent array of options, something you don't get on Saturn. For me, that's worth the asking price alone, even if you want to main the Saturn version, as it's a fairly tedious game to learn.Bassa-Bassa wrote:The higher resolution assets?

The game isn't all that long in its arcade mode (about 30 - 35 minutes) despite how lengthy the levels seem. Look at it this way--if you are playing arcade mode, then there are really only three stages and a final boss after. Saturn/Story mode adds to this obviously and is more grueling as a result, but the point of that mode is saving your progress and ripping through things easily on subsequent runs after you've leveled everything up.EmperorIng wrote:I was replaying my saturn copy last night and raging hard at all the restarts. That first stage length is a real killer. I can't believe I made it all the way to stage 5/the battleship a year or so ago.
