Legacy Versions

[FamilyGuy0395]

If I purchase either of the Terminal Cuts will I get the Legacy versions included? I ask because the originals were needlessly delisted (they still have store pages but you can't buy them anymore). Thanks.

The originals are included as beta branches (right-click on the Terminal Cut versions in your library -> properties -> betas -> legacy). The content should be the same, but you won't get to own the old delisted apps.

Man, I'll never understand why developers/publishers can't just simply have the legacy products included with purchase of the remaster/remake. Such a shame.

I'm passionate about video game preservation, not to mention I'd like to be able to play both versions.

Terminal cuts run better than Legacy versions

Okay? I would sure hope so. That doesn't change my stance on the preservation of legacy titles.

Unlikely they won't going to include legacy versions so deal with it

Buy it from GOG, Terminal cuts also includes the legacy ones if not mistaken

When you download the legacy version using the beta branch, you absolutely can play it.

You can buy the legacy versions by key sellers for cheap...

Where? I've looked.

As mentioned before., there is absolutely no use to buying the legacies, the Terminal Cut is exactly the same game through and through, all they did was fix some crashing issues and add support for higher resolutions, better frame rates, as well as Steamworks integration so it has cloud saving. Oh, and come to think of it, probably fixed the mouse input because I recall that to be pretty bad on modern systems.

Treating them like two different titles is a fallacy, because content and even game-wise, there is legitimately no difference.

It's true, that's 100% the same, but works on modern systems!

I have not tried the new version yet, but the legacy version was an ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTE mess. I simply could not stand how badly it was implemented at Steam....like its creators / publishers never tried to play test it before selling it on Steam. I quit and just uninstalled it after playing it a very short time. The conversations were pasted in wrongly, so you always missed the first part of EVERY audio dialogue in the entire game. It just ruined everything. You are not missing out on anything. Trust me, I am telling you that as someone who really wanted to play that game back then.

Hmm, it's no offence, but then you should better look for the CD version than for a digital download that you do not even own yourself and get products from somewhere else.

Moreover, these are often not even complete on Steam. Be it sound, textures, voice output or other content. Regionlocked.... Or files will be changed suddenly. As example. Mafia from 2K games, Drakensang, Arkania and many more.

Not to forget a intermediated MITM platform (Steam) you are forced use and to get "your" desired products.
