[STEAM] AU Deals: $49 FC 25s, All-Time Low Elden Ring, and the 60 Buck Range for Space Marine 2, FF7 Rebirth, and More!

[Steam 0]

Gird your bank account because the end-of-year savings have begun in earnest. Now is the best time to take aim at that game you've been coveting for months. Just make sure you're ready to pull the trigger on the purchase quickly, as I'm seeing deals disappear not too long after they pop. Happy hunting!

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 30th anniversary of the piggybacking oddity that was Sonic & Knuckles for Mega Drive. Dubbed "lock-on technology" by *****, the general idea was to pop the top on this adapter and slap on either a Sonic 3 or Sonic 2 cartridge to inject a playable Knuckles the Echidna in. With Sonic 2, that meant ol' mate punchy could be used to wall-climb and inexplicably glide in the usual level layouts.

In Sonic 3, however, the changes were more profound (think: tweaked level routes, a new "Super Emerald" collection layer, and the chance to unlock Hyper Sonic/Knuckles/Tails with a True Ending). Basically, it was proto DLC that I recall thinking was "heaps rad."

The greatest improvement here is obvious—ray tracing, a feature that Remedy had to drop early on in development. To my eye, "Performance" and "Quality" modes in Alan Wake 2 have witnessed Pro Enhancement, with the former seeing obvious benefits from a higher output resolution as well as improved graphical detail over the PS5 version (noted in more convincing shadows, lusher foliage, and similar details). Obviously, both modes work under the new PSSR solution, but I appreciated the (sadly only 30 fps) Quality mode with its better image stability and quality, fog, volumetric lighting, and shadow accuracy.
