Didn’t even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There’s no official “time to announce your games” part of the year anymore.
None taken, I still get embarrassed when I remember they banned GTA V cuz it had weed in it, got brought back quickly with an R18+ rating games couldn’t get up until then coincidentally.
Steam Deck seems pretty amazing. Unfortunately, in my case, it’s too big to travel with and I doubt my small hands will find much comfort.
Really hope they come out with a Steam Deck Lite. I know you can buy smaller handheld PCs but last I checked they were quite pricey (tbf I haven’t checked recently)
The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me but I make do and I’d prefer it to be smaller in hand. I had the lite and much preferred its form factor. OLED does have a much, much better screen. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn’t meet my use case, nad that’s fine.
I love the thing and use it extensively whenever I can, but it is bulky and hard to fit into bags with other stuff. If there was a way to separate the palm rest bits and have most other things be flat, and thin enough, that’d make a huge difference. But the bulky palm rests attached to the thin body, it just unavoidably wastes some space, and even more if one wants to be safe and use the case.
But it’s not that bad, easily lived with. Doesn’t remove the fact that it could be much better in that regard though.
Still easily more portable than a laptop though! And much more comfortable to use for gaming, if that’s going to be the most common use case for a computer while you travel.
I play my Switch docked 99.9% of the time. One thing holding me back with Steam Deck is I keep hearing about complications with trying to play it docked on TV.
I was hoping for this after the Resident Evil bundle from a few months ago.
The way Dino Crisis 2 managed to turn the tankiness of the RE/Dino Crisis gameplay into an action-packed shooter is stunning to me and I love that game dearly. Replayed it last year and it holds up surprisingly well!
Now let’s hope for a Pararisite Eve GOG release! :D
Parasite Eve is a Square Enix IP, so it’s possible it could get a PC port, but I wouldn’t count on it going to GOG. They’re almost as bad as Nintendo when it comes to hoarding their IPs.
I enjoyed the original Dino Crisis, despite the clunky controls, but I never played the second one because I wasn’t in the mood to deal with the same interface.
You’re saying the controls are better? I might have to give this a shot after 25 years!
Anyone know how it runs on the Steamdeck? I’m aware that Heroic launcher exists, but I haven’t looked into it yet.
Look at the nominee in all categories, they had Astro bot, Elden Ring DLC, FF7, Metaphor Refantazio, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, they had a lot of games this year and they are all competing in different categories.
Lol my boss asked me if I knew how to build an EXE. I did not. So I spent a few days figuring it out with Visual Code. I build an idle game as my first game within a weekend. Man…low hanging fruit lol
If workers only made unfinished parts and products and complained that consumers don’t appreciate it enough, then that would be a serious problem. This dev is complaining that people badger him on how to improve and finish his game while still selling it as Early Access on Steam.
A lot of gamers use the term “devs” colloquially when a lot of the blame for many of the evils of modern gaming should actually go to management and publishers.
I haven’t played in the last year or so but the game did age very well. I played it like everyone else when it first came out and the novelty quickly wore off and the game had very little depth. I revisited it many years later on a whim and was surprised with how much content had been added. I ended up playing regularly for a few years after that with my wife. The game is definitely dependent on where you live and now that I’m in a more rural area I don’t play very much but even in a medium population city it’s was very enjoyable. I joined a local discord and we attended many community days and it was a great deal of fun and very social. Fond memories, and I hope to revisit the game again
That’s a whole separate can of worms. I don’t have any respect for studios, that actually force people to work hours like this, just to hit some arbitrary deadline, that they imposed on themselves
Larian really knocked it out of the park having 3 studios around the globe so they can still have a 24hr workflow without pushing everyone to do overtime. I really want to know what their handover procedures are.
