I'm going to buy this some time this week, I hope, so when I do I'll record some HD vids and post it on You Tube to let you all know how it is.
I'm not too hopeful though.
One question though, if I only have USD on my VISA card, (almost typed VESA lol) will I need to put some pounds (That's the British pounds, right?) on it with some sort of currency exchange or will the VISA system take care of that for me?

isn't the game sold in euros? or are you buying from a different retailer?
I know that with our card, although it isn't a visa card, we are charged a currency conversion fee but no, we don't have to put in any special denomination of money. I'm guessing that it's the same for Visa but it might be worth going to the Visa website to check it out.

Great! I'll be sure to check often for said videos.Galaxieretter wrote:I'm going to buy this some time this week, I hope, so when I do I'll record some HD vids and post it on You Tube to let you all know how it is.
Another thing about the soundtrack, I take back what I said before about it being 'not bad'. It's pretty bad.
I loaded up my original copy of Raptor on DOSBox using General MIDI music and a high-quality soundfont,
and realized that the 2010 edition could be much better given today's technology.
If they really gave two cents about this remake, the soundtrack would have been re-arranged by a metal band, or something.
Although some tracks in the 2010 edition admittedly sound much better than others,
such as the Hangar music, or other tracks that don't use electric guitar-like instruments.

if that's the case maybe just put that vid on repeat and play the old game in DOSBox with the music off?Grimson wrote:' Unless the graphics are improved, which they don't seem to be
I hope it's better, I really do. At least it's only a few euro. and if you don't have the game already then it's an improved way to get it legit!

Re:
So... All this is, is just the original game running inside DOSBox with a graphics filter (that doesn't even look good), plus a crappy-sounding MP3 soundtrack?
If so, that's pretty garg.

No it doesn't run in Dosbox, it runs in windows with soundIMA3HDDMNKY wrote:So... All this is, is just the original game running inside DOSBox with a graphics filter (that doesn't even look good), plus a crappy-sounding MP3 soundtrack?
