tinyE: When you choose 'New Game' it offers you the Revamp or the 1993 Original.
But I guess it still won't run in DOSBox. ;) And that's the point why the original version should be included.

Leroux: That seems like a good price for Asterix & Obelix XXL 2, nice.

Now, how bad is Syberia 3 really?

EDIT: Ok, so what I gather from reviews is:

+ graphics
+ soundtrack

- story
- puzzles
- voiceovers (although that might be depending on the chosen language)
- controls
- camera
- animations
- save system
- unskippable cutscenes and dialogue
- bugs

That actually sounds quite bad ...
From what I have gathered it's just an updated/bundled redo of games 1&2....so just stick with those versions if you want to play them.

Don't want to play them, as I already did, but Syberia 3 is definitely a new story. Unless you or the people you heard it from were being ironic.

I heard the first two games were included in Syberia 3....if that's wrong then I retract my statement from earlier.

First time I hear about it. I don't think that's true.

Leroux: Ah, that makes perfect sense for Syberia, thanks!

Still weird about the other two games though. Why would Steam show Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 as 29.99€ for you in Serbia and 24.99€ for me in Germany? Because that's what I see ...
No idea. But good for you if it's cheaper. :p

Just wondering. I bought it on GOG anyway. ;)

Panaias: Seems like a good time to get Flashback! Can anyone confirm if it's compatible with XInput controllers?
Confirmed. Bought it today and play with a Logitech F310 in XInput mode.

I can confirm the music of Asterix and Obelix is flat out jarring, but the base gameplay is fun in that early day PS2 kind of way.

This announcement is removed from homepage.
Why?

Is Flashback's HD version good?
I recall it wasn't well received, but now I see 4\5 stars ratings.

EDIT: nevermind, I checked the screenshots now lol

Wow. I was happy to get Flashback with the 10% discount earlier, it's surprising both it and Asterix have 75% discounts so soon. Great for people who want to try them, bad for hopes of other remakes as they must not be selling well. :(

idbeholdME: Asterix already at 75%. Ouch to those who bought it at 10% discount at release :/.

Anime-BlackWolf: It must have BOMBED in a huge degree ("Flashback Remake" too...), there is no other possible reason for this high discount in such a short time period. :(
How could a small Amiga game which anyone who really wanted it would have found long before this release, sell poorly?
It is a mystery.

It's not a small Amiga game by any means (Flashback was a very popular DOS game that many people played), and the new remake seems to be borked if you judge based on reviews. Personally I only want the original DOS version. It's not the first time when people dislike a "remake" (see the outrage when Z was remade for example).
