Manapany, do gaming w Mocked-up images of a new Steam Controller appear, as speculation rises around Valve revealing new gaming hardware this week [Eurogamer]

I hope it’s true, next generation I’m gonna get rid of my Xbox for Linux pc or whatever valve can produce a console.

artyom,

Brother I’ve just been running a plain old desktop PC with Valve’s Gamescope/Game Mode for years now. Why wait?

i mean, if they have a Series X and it still runs all the modern games, there ain’t a strong reason to upgrade at exactly this moment. That console will keep chugging along for a few more years at least.

artyom,

What part of “I’m gonna get rid of my xbox” makes you think they’re keeping their Xbox?

Manapany,

I have my serie X it’s working well, Im not in a hurry, but im thinking next time.

The rumor is that the next Xbox will also just be a gaming PC. If Microsoft has an offering similar to Valve, except it’s on Windows so there is better game compatibility, does that not entice you to stick with Xbox?

(tbc I’m not saying you should stick with Xbox - M$ is morally bankrupt and Windows 11 is a bloatware-ridden mess. Just inviting you to elaborate on your thinking, if you want to)

hamsterkill,

Speaking for myself — no.

I had reasons for switching to using my dual boot desktop for Linux 95% of the time. Windows 11 became too annoying and bloated for me to want to deal with, and I found Proton could adequately run the games I play (including some old or foreign ones Windows struggles with).

I continue to use my Xbox because it’s unladen with Windows’ recent bullshit, and as a limited machine, it gives me less security concerns about trying games with connections to Russia, China, and Israel.

An Xbox running full Windows is one I would wecome existing but would never buy. I’d just be thankful all their games were PC compatible and use my Linux PC and streaming devices running Steam Link or Moonlight or even xCloud (until that service inevitably enshittifies).

Manapany,

Yeah I have to admit it’s tempting, but lately I want to distance myself from the Microsoft bullshit as fast as possible. Linux pc will be the best option but I’m scared to make the jump :s

If you don’t want to play mainstream multiplayer games, it should be pretty painless for you! Obviously we don’t know yet what Valve will reveal, but if they announce a new “Steam Machine” that is basically a Steam Deck in desktop form, it should be pretty smooth! I hear there are some games that require some Linux finagling, but everything has guides online.

Man, every time I tried to make it run last decade there was one bug or another preventing me to do so. I miss that game.

time to go buy an old cow-colored HP computer off ebay just to make it work!

lmagitem,

Indeed, it’s the last solution

This just unlocked a memory of playing something similar but it was pre 2005 and did not look like the screenshots.

3D Movie Maker? Casino Inc? Theme Park?

Soapbox,

It was 3D movie maker. I looked it up after I made the comment, and forgot to reply or update.

I remember it being janky as hell.

dude 3D movie maker was my shit. Glad to find another former movie maker stan - I used to put entire evenings into making stupid little animations. That was the game that taught me what it feels like to be completely immersed in a creative project. McZee still haunts my nightmares, tho…

Deyis,

I occasionally feel like I hallucinated that whole game so it’s nice to know that other people have played it.

Soapbox,

It seems I managed to block McZee from my memory. After a quick search, I’m glad I did.

they don’t make disturbing kid’s content like they used to.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

You got another Stan here.

I actually had my fare share with vd3mm… But I can’t dedicate any time to it anymore

enbiousenvy,

damn searching for “3d movie maker” on youtube points me to a 19 years old video www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJKeESLBpQ

For those that come to be saved the click:

Is the 2005 game The Movies

it’s in the title, bro.

CaptainBlinky,

Not to be that guy, but it’s the 20th anniversary of the game, The Movies, so yeah. Could just read the title.

Holy shit, not a single word about the abusive (illegal?) layoffs and the union busting in this article. Not even in the other article linked in the first paragraph! Shame!

I suppose they wrote an article dedicated to the news at some point (?) but this should be repeated over and over, hammered to the point of damaging their image.

I used to play this a lot. Somehow I had the creativity to make movies in the game back then. Even without knowing how to read English, and scrolling few dozens of scene template et cetera.

Nowadays I would consider that as a chore even if now I can speak English

GTA is a console selling machine and thats why it was delayed to coincide with the console releases.

I discovered that game long after it was abandoned, and I love it. My dream is a version of this with a slightly modernized UI (especially since it was made for low-res 4:3 screen ratios), maybe more movie genres and mod integration for user content like planet coaster.

It was a real gem. I haven’t gone DEEP on it before, but I’ve really enjoyed what I played of it.

And when it finally does drop, it’s just a slightly prettier version of GTA 5.

I’ll have to remember to ask my grandchildren when they inherit my copy of Star Citizen in time for release (I don’t have children).

DebatableRaccoon,

And if you did, they wouldn’t be able to inherit your digital licence.

How does it compare to all the early access games that end up strung along for a decade+ and not officially released?

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don’t think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.

One more year and it rivals Duke Nukem Forever.

1984,

I cant imagine that game being allowed today. Maybe if they replaced the male hero with a young girl hero it would be accepted.

Ganbat,

Can I ask, what are your thoughts on 1984?

1984,

My username is inspired by the movie 1984. I think we live more in a world similar to Brave New World though, but it has some things from 1984 built in. Like controlling what is seen by the masses as truth and making people self-censor their thoughts, those things I see strongly in todays society, and they are from 1984.

The record is for time from announcement to release. ES6 was announced 7 years ago, so we’re getting there but not quite. It might still break the record by the time it comes out…
