From what I've read, it's a buggy mess on PC with lots of crashing or failing to boot for lots of people. Mouse acceleration is also turned on and can't be disabled?! :no:

 

I guess it's free for a reason :/

I haven't experienced any issues personally, but I'm just one person.  Played it for about an hour last night.  Controls feel fine, runs smooth, and didn't have any crashes.  Not sure if I mentioned it but the graphics options are pretty cut and dry.  You've got resolution, VSync, FOV, and anti-aliasing, and that's about it.  I guess they figure if you can't run the re-mastered version you can just play the original.

 

Here's a screenshot of the graphics options I took and uploaded to Steam last night: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=764329927

 

I didn't mess with the controls.  I just set the sensitivity button on my mouse to what I always game at and it felt fine to me so I haven't even looked at the controls menu.

 

Side note: If you're curious what it looks like compared to the original, I uploaded a bunch of screenshots from that first hour or so of gameplay.  Keep in mind they're at 900p instead of 1080p cause' that's my laptop's native resolution.  Here's the link: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/screenshots/?appid=409710&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall

Lots of complaints on front page of /r/games https://redd.it/5308it

 

The lack of graphics options are mentioned there too, but the mouse acceleration, audio problems and crashes seem to be the biggest annoyances.

Hooked my laptop up to my television with an HDMI cable so I can play it at 1080p with a proper gaming keyboard/mouse and am really enjoying it.  Just had my first crash though.  Made it to Neptune's Bounty, stepped out of the bathysphere and the game crashed about a second after Atlas started talking.

Was there a limit on how much cash you could carry in the original?  I haven't played it through in years since I first played it on Playstation 3 and just got a "wallet full" message when I tried to loot some money off a corpse, :p

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

      I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
