Jimbo, do gaming w Splitgate 2 plays great - but its new focus on objective-based 4v4 team games may be a turn off [Eurogamer]
@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

For god’s sake, I just want a shooter with simple deathmatch!

Varyag,

Swear to Jah, all we need is a proper modern, moddable Unreal Tournament.

Jimbo, (edited )
@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

While it’s not ideal there is something actively played out there, with plenty of custom maps and kind of recent…

I’ll copy-paste a previous comment about it here:

Though development is long dead, the servers were taken offline recently and it was delisted by Epic, people are still playing the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha (commonly called UT4) which you can get here: www.ut4ever.org/downloads

You’ll also need to register an account here and merge it with an Epic account: ut4.timiimit.com/Instructions/UT4UU

The download should come with the unofficial update which gives access to the private servers, I play on the Unreal Carnage servers regularly which often gets 8-15 players at a time, more than enough for some deathmatch. Would love to see some more people around!

(Mind I’m in New Zealand, which is why my ping is so high, the netcode handles it well somehow)

Varyag,

Oohh, I heard about that. I’ve just kept playing the community maintained UT’99 and a little bit of 2k4.

drspod, do gaming w More than 100,000 people are currently playing a Steam game where you click a banana

This was a joke, 14 years ago:

Rooskie91, do games w Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

JESUS CHRIST JUST MAKE HALF LIFE 3 AND PORTAL 3 WHAT ARE YOU DOING VALVE?!?!

AceFuzzLord,

At this point, we have some absolutely impressive Portal 2 mods that, in my opinion, definitely make up for not having Portal 3. We’ve got Tag (the paint gun mod), Thinking With Portals (a short one that gives you the ability to create a clone thing that copies recorded actions), and I’ve been playing through one I just found out about called Revolution that is pretty cool so far.

I personally like to think that the fans have done a good enough job at creating mods and maps that a Portal 3 would be redundant.

Rooskie91,

Damn I didn’t know portal had a mod community like that. I’ll check it out.

Duamerthrax,

Revolution is flat out better then most AAA retail games, both in quality and length.

Portal Stories: Mel is also something to try out. There’s some small references to Mel in Revolution, but playing Mel before Revolution isn’t necessary, but recommended.

So they're ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

There’s no such thing as an original idea. Just look at tvtropes. The whole idea is to make a new take on a previous idea, to integrate and innovate. No idea if this will be successful in doing that, but the premise alone shouldn’t condemn it.

god this is like when everyone called first person shooters “doom clones”, overwatch is absolutely not a tf2 ripoff lmao, and making a hero shooter does not mean it’s an overwatch ripoff either.

ramenshaman, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program 2 studio reportedly shut down by Take-Two

Well fuck me.

jaspersgroove,

That was the plan from the start.

hal_5700X, do games w Niantic: Pokémon Go healthy and growing as it approaches its next decade

Okay but we have this article from pokemongohub.net, Pokémon GO’s yearly revenue slumps to 2017’s levels!. So where’s truth?

Any game that makes people actually move is good in my book.

MonsiuerPatEBrown, do gaming w GOG adding cloud gaming support via Amazon Luna "soon"

And that was the end of GOG

amazon has repeatedly let competitors use amazon cloud services; and amazon has repeatedly ripped off those competitors ideas stored in cloud services and then shut them down economically

And that was the end of GOG

How?

VeganCheesecake, do gaming w GOG adding cloud gaming support via Amazon Luna "soon"
@VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Huh. Didn’t know Luna still exists.

Katana314,

I get the impression Amazon just rightly avoided overselling it and growing too far too fast. I see it advertised for a few specific cases where people don’t own consoles and might try it, but not overblown in showcases the way Google did.

Badeendje, do games w Helldivers 2 has "performed well ahead of expectations" and topped more than 8m sales

Its fun! Running, explosions, bugs to squash…

Oddbin,

Ragdoll hilarity every game too. Great fun.

Mojojojo1993, do games w 700 Ubisoft workers strike in France over failed salary negotiations

Ubi is screwed then

Assman,
@Assman@sh.itjust.works avatar

They have 20k employees

Mojojojo1993,

Yeah but their stock is tanking. Just released a game that’s been in the works for 7 years that’s shit.

Claimed it’s aaaa which is just wank and people will refuse to buy their products.

They have negative media attention from yanking online games.

Bad sakes from ac games.

They are a big company and I think they are about to be a lot smaller

MeekerThanBeaker,

I still buy their games… when they are like 80% off. I would’ve maybe bought Skull and Bones new given how much I liked Black Flag, but after the reviews… I’ll wait until a big sale or wait for it to be on GamePass.

Mojojojo1993,

You could try the demo on GeForce now this weekend. That’s where I played it.

Was not aaaa

Did not look like a 2024 game.

Might be fun and sure I’ll buy 80% off.

Bit of 50% playerbase does that. No way that they stay afloat

Kolanaki, do games w From Software is "working hard on Elden Ring DLC" but still doesn't have a release date "at this time"
!deleted6508 avatar

I kinda figured those rumors were bullshit. They may be secretive, but Fromsoft still wouldn’t just quietly release a major dlc for one of the biggest titles they’ve ever made.

Shit must be massive for it to take this long, though, without much news other than a title, and two updates that they are still working on it.

Aielman15, do games w Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, but are the users still committed to buying them?

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

I mean, is that a real problem for Microsoft today?

I think Xbox is in its stronger times, so much that I actually want one lol

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Considering that estimates have PS5 outselling XSeries by 2:1 (also confirmed by semi-official data), and XSeries doing worse than its predecessor, I’d say: yes, it’s a very real problem for them.

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

I hope they truly stick with the Xbox brand, it will be bad for all of us to only have Sony with the cake… (I mean we have Nintendo, but they have always been on their own).
