Too complex for kids and very little options for local multiplayer, which will probably be needed unless you plan to spend a shitload of money to get three PCs

Reply to comment by Jolt_91 in Classic game Unreal running in Windows NT 3.51 from 1995 by O_MORES
Indeed, because NT 3.51was by no means meant for gaming, there is no DirectX support, only some Open GL support.
Anyways, Epic games decided to develop Unreal on a NT platform - so the game will start and will work in NT 3.51.

Lol not rude at all, it’s neo-school style so won’t be an exact resemblance.

PlayStation 5 comes with 1000GB storage. It’s enough but you can add more storage it costs around $80-100. Disc games are often cheaper and hold some value. Any 4K TV will be fine.

If your on a budget Xbox and the Xbox game pass is probably the best option. I like ps exclusives better personally, but the Xbox game pass is really awesome and you can also stream a lot of games if you have good internet.

Check out some roguelites like Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac. They have hours of playtime/variety and can run on a baked potato.

That's really informative and kind, thank you ckoden84.
I think the ps5 with the disc might be the job for us, I'd be worried about part of the Nintendo getting broken or the charger issue I've been reading about. I'm also thinking as a group present the Nintendo looks a little small and there would be fights over the little screen part.
I like that the ps has separate controllers and I could replace one if needed.
Can the disc one download games too or are you limited to discs only?
Should I buy a cooler for it, I saw one advertised when I was looking at them, is overheating a problem?
When I spend this much on it I'd like it to last several years if that's realistic.
I was going to ask if I should wait for a ps6 but they seem to be a few years off yet.

Why not? It's even easier to set up different users and even different steam account to each kid

Not just a sequel but the fourth game in the series. I only barely remember the first one.

Tbf, the whole fun about the game was being able to sick Shadow on people. Nothing like swapping a gun for "aim+shoot=dog mauling"

If you got the cash go for PC, all the good ps/xbx games are trickling to PC recently and with better graphics and performance.
but PC is a rabbit hole of parts, assembly and accessories, and a money sinkhole
If not ps5 with a nice hdr10 OLED tv will get your fix

I think your right that a reboot would be shit. But a remake would be cool. That’s never happening tho 🥲

Please no, these games were great for its time. Any reboot will just fuck it all up as they usually do

I thought it was released as a max payne competitor?

The game looked quite Unreal for its time. Played the everloving crap out of it on my OG iMac w/ a 8mb VooDoo2 card.
