I understand that, and it’s possible. I had it like that before on a wide screen, but went with consistency if someone plays on a big monitor or mobile they’re below for both. In the future I could add a layout toggle or something.
Oh, Need for Speed! I still break out the originals like NFS III Hot Pursuit when I want to focus on a podcast or an audio book, but don’t want my mind to wonder. Letting my visual and motor cortex enter a flow state while doing timed laps pacifies my ADHD, keeping me on track to complete any audible reading, pun intended. It also helps having all the maps memorized from nostalgia.
Emulating the PS1 and PS2 titles is an option, but there are modern patches of the PC ports that improve the ergonomics of running them on current operating systems, including Wine and Proton:
Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
Another racing series with a similar flow vibe could be the Track Mania titles. Forza Horizon is a little flashy, but if you create a waypoint race route and then avoid the finish line, you can then free roam without traffic making for a relaxing and scenic diving game. The Hot Wheels DLC for Forza Horizon is also rather zen once you get a grasp for the different gravity and motion model dynamics.
It’s how i pick my screenshots. I try to pick ones that arent too obvious but if you know the game you can identify it. Some games are hard to do that on though
The pleasure is all mine! I always try to respond to people, but sometimes fear I don’t have anything important to say. But I love talking with people who comment on my posts
I’ve tried it on and off two times. It piqued my interest but I never got around to playing it for more than an hour both times. It didn’t click with me for whatever reason.
if you got out of the apartment and didn’t want to finish the game then it’s simply not for you. for me that moment alone was enough to see it through.
I get that. It’s one of those games where i don’t think i can play it more than once after seeing the ending (even with me not getting the ending last playthrough i’m worried i won’t stick with this playthrough because of that)
They could probably get away with a PS6 that’s a PS5 Pro raster equivalent, improved ray tracing, and a modern AMD CPU and a bump in memory. Whatever can be sold for $500 in 2-3 years. Switch 2 is the baseline.
Microsoft can be twice as powerful, unless they had a multi year string of incredible exclusives, they’re not doing better than this gen and
regardless they don’t do exclusives anymore
Improved ray tracing is key. We’re at a point where hardware improvements aren’t for selling games to end users, they’re for cutting costs for developers. Project managers don’t want to spend time and resources handcrafting lighting anymore.
We saw it before where making SSDs baseline didn’t necessarily always lead to a change in world design but certainly led to cuts in asset streaming optimization. Same with framerates.
This kinda isn’t in the same genre as normal racing. But Lonely Mountain Downhill is a game where you’re mountain biking and trying to go faster and faster to beat certain goals or personal records. It’s adorable and fun
It depends on what your museum is trying to convey. If it’s moments of gaming history and games and consoles of significance, I’d go with:
For the earliest video games, I’d show the Tennis for Two on the DuMont Lab Ocilloscope, released in 1958.
You should also include the life of Warren Robinett, because he was the first ever game programmer to receive in-game credit for a game he made, because Atari never gave their programmers credit, but he snuck one in as an easter egg. He then went on to found the Learning Company which made all those Reader Rabbit games.
For the Crash of 1983, you have to include ET for the Atari 2600 as the posterboy, but “Pitfall!” should also be included. Pitfall was a good game, but it was the breakout hit of Activision and therefore proof that third-party video games were viable, leading to the glut of video games which, in combination with ET being such a colossal failure, caused the crash.
For the resurgence after the crash, the Nintendo Entertainment System, but specifically the one that came with the little robot to help you play games. It’s essential that you convey that Nintendo intended to sell it as a toy rather than a games console because the games market in the US had completely died in the crash, but the toy market was very much alive.
