I wasn't being sarcastic I was referring to you playing the game with your dad... Relax!

Oooooh. Sorry.
Is just that It runs horribly slow on my 4GB laptop
And yes, I've been wanting to play this game with dad
Sorry didn't meant to

 

[64bitmodels]

coolio
now if only the game didn't need a fucking supercomputer to run it maybe i'd pick it up... like namco this is a fucking arcade game from 1980 (literally 40 years ago) you shouldn't need to have a 2080ti and a 4770k to run it

I think the game requires 6gb of ram minimum maybe drop the resolution down to 720p and see if you can turn off any effects like particle etc.

Can it run crysis I mean pac-man.

Hey that’s awesome! I heard this one was actually really cool, will definitely download for PS if I remember.

 

[YOUCANTSTOPME]

Thanks! I played the crap out of Championship Edition DX on the PS3, snagged this one for PS4.

 

[mightymuffy]

To each their own. I loved the first Pac-Man CE and if this is at all similar, I'm going to love it on both my PC and PS4.

HUGE fan of the first CE here, and love DX(+) even more (DX is one of my fave games of last gen), so I instantly picked this up on release, without reading any reviews etc..... and they fukked it up..... If you haven't played DX you may enjoy it, but only being able to attack the 'ghost trains' from the ends? Game ruiner for me. Also there's a fine balance between trippy and where the fukk am I in the visuals dept: they never crossed the line in previous games, but in this, you won't know where you are half the time on certain levels.

For anyone looking for the PS4 version, you have to search through bundles (or pick the bundle version), otherwise it keeps redirecting you to the PSNow version.

You could pick it up right now, just to have it under your free games list until you can get a super computer.
Same case here, but free is free and I won't have to pay for the game when I get a decent computer.

Fucking hate that technology gets obsolete in a blink of an eye.
That pisses me off.

[IceyyColdSnipez]

Clamed it on Eur PSN Love PM

 

[Plasmaster09]

I would enjoy the steam version if not for the fact that even though I have a decent laptop (not particularly high end but good enough to run basically anything I'd want to), it runs like crap and I basically need all of NASA to run f*cking Pac-Man at more than 5 FPS.

 

[Issac]

Oh yay! I almost 100%ed the first one on PS3

 

[NGT]

eyy I see what you mean
I won't risk it with my Switch just yet (even though mine is a stupid early model so it's RCM-exploitable ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) but my N3DS is in fact... expanded.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


Yeah no
Nintendo's stupidly kind but not that kind
Wouldn't be surprised if they have a big first party COVID-19 mega-sale at some point tho

The 3ds has some garbage version of pacman championship edition

The 3ds has some garbage version of pacman championship edition

1) the two play differently
2) as someone that has actually played that version, it's actually good. it's literally just a smol version of the same thing.

[eriol33]

they made an interesting twist to modernize the game. I think this is the first time I experienced one-winged angel pacman version during the tutorial mode.
