    Wow that’s a step up from ‘bashed’!

      At least this way they probably ended up ‘crushed’, which is less likely from a mere bashing.

      Yeah I can’t be bothered with another account/password. It’s like great, another company has my email so more spam.

    I’m a bit confused, were there two games named “Shrek 2” back in the day? The one I remember playing is this: https://youtu.be/cL5zBFPUZxc and clearly the remaster is not based on that.

      This kind of thing happened back in the day, where ports would often basically be different games. This PC version was developed by KnowWonder.

      If you want another, contemporaneous, example of a PC version being way different from the console version being way different from the portable version, check out SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom’s three versions.

        There was a spider man game like this. I can’t remember which one, but the web slinging on the Nintendo (maybe Wii) was locked to icon anchor points rather than dynamic.

        A similar though happened back in the day with the Jurassic Park tie in video games. The Sega Genesis version was a side scrolling platformer, while the SNES version was a doom type with some isometric perspective sections. I remember liking the Sega one way more because you could play as the raptor

          The side scroller was on SNES too.

    Weirdly, you don’t need an epic Games account for EOS so I wonder why it’s there.
