I'm sure you've all by now heard, seen or played the Beta of Pier Solar.
However I wanted to open a discussion here about it, its seems everywhere else has something bad to say about the game (Usually people more interested in modern gaming).
As ive said in other places, the guys behind this have done a fantastic job considering that they wont have the actual dev hardware, the proper coding guides and are all doing this while keeping up a living.
Its easy to say the graphics arent as good as Gunstar Heroes (etc) and the RPG Gameplay is no Final Fantasy, however I dont see many others taking up their own time to bring a new unique game to a retro console.
Some have argued that its a waste of time coding for a dead machine, however id argue quite the opposite. In my eyes, this is some fantastic development and a step forward from Beggar Prince.
After playing the Beta, im quite impressed. Its a great use of the hardware and a nice game to play. Id say its only really going to appeal to die hard RPG gamers who love Retro.
I just wanted to hear the views from the NTSC-UK crowd and maybe inform the others on here who havent yet heard of it.
Ive preordered the Posterity Pack and im looking forward to it arriving later this year/early next year.
