L.G.C. |Reviews| — FlatOut 2 (GOG port)

This week your intrepid heroes take up challenge pissing, drink some WINE, and GOG all the thing.


Makes with the working

V-

  • The options menu only appears once.

  • No windowed mode.

J-

  • Sound didn’t work out of the box

  • Controller isn’t recognized

P-

  • Exiting the game shuts down my external monitor.

  • I had to edit the bash scripts they include with the game to remove all the resolution bs.

Shiny / Sounds

V-

  • It started /w a NickelBack song. Minus 1 chair.

  • Seriously, Nickelback? Minus another chair.

J-

  • When I noticed the song listed on the menu screen, I was suddenly relieved that the sound didn’t work

  • The game looks good enough. Seems to have aged decently well

P-

  • The sound pops with the constant buffer underruns caused by the alsa-pulse plugin.

    • I fixed it by deleting the winealsa.drv.so in their wrapper and symlinked it to my system’s winepulse.drv.so.

    • Also, before the symlink hack, if you had sound coming out of any other source when you start the game, the game’s sound wouldn’t work.

  • They spent most of their audio budget in licensing songs and that results in the game only having like 10 different ones.

    • That or they all sound extremely similar.

  • Gets two chairs because the graphics are pretty good and the game still runs great on my calculator with 2xAA and 8xAF.

Control

V-

  • I managed to make it work /w the Xclone but no option for the Enter button

  • Then we deal /w the Xclone randomly flipping the hell out.

  • Really, it somehow changed my auto into manual FFS.

  • Aaaand for good measure it pulls to the left ..randomly

J-

  • Both Hori and Real xbox controllers just didn’t work

  • Keyboard handles a bit like ass

P-

  • My PS2 Dual Shock doesn’t seem to do anything other than causing the car to constantly be turning right if I set the controller options to use it.

  • Keyboard works fine and rebinding it actually sticks, so it gets two chairs.


Total-


FUN

V-

J-

  • This game desperately needs a  controller.   I derive no enjoyment from playing this game using a keyboard

  • Also Nickleback

P-

  • The game is alright, I did enjoy it.

  • It gets 2 chairs because the amount of BS I had to do on my end to get it working properly.
