early access you say… i thought we dont do that anymore and rather ask the publisher to release a complete product instead of a beta version.

What’s the multiplayer situation like for these games? They don’t list LAN in the features for the first game, but there’s mention of it in the Steam forums, and I’m not sure if it was removed or something. Presumably no split screen?

The first game has online servers that people host. Usually a blast. The occasional crybaby host. I have spent many nights just crashing into my buddy and trying to take each other out of each race.

Sometimes we will just look for an empty server so we can mess around “alone”.

I don’t believe it supports split screen and I haven’t tried LAN.

The single player campaign of the first game took longer than I expected and was harder than I thought (if you care about getting 3 stars on all races). Some of this races you need a fast light car to win, but the challenges require you to take out a bunch of people meaning you have to do it really intelligently while not losing too much paceborndestroyijg your unarmored race car for example.

Unless they really botch this game (kerbal 2 style) I think this second one will be even better than the first.

gwheel,

No split screen, lan is a ton of fun. Online is entirely server browser, which is fine except that you need to port forward to run a private lobby. I’m hoping this one makes private matches a bit simpler.

michael_palmer, do gaming w New Steam Controller 2 and VR controller designed got leaked

Offtopic story: Sometime ago I needed 2 gamepads. So I went to the mall and bought 2 Acer gamepads for 35€ each. I unboxed them right after I left the shop. They were wired and looked and felt exactly like 5€ chinese gamepads. So I immediately returned them and went to another shop in the same mall where I got a pair of Speedlink Rait controllers for 22€ each. They feel very well-built, just like an xbox controller and are supported by all OS and console emulators out of the box. It basically shows up as a Switch Pro controller, so it’s perfectly supported by Yuzu.

Has anyone played this with a controller? It seems like the aiming would be awkward.

Whelp, I ain’t helping the cause. I might be running Fedora on both my computers, but I can’t be bothered to game.

Crap there goes my evening.

Lucidlethargy, do games w Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

Is this a Linux problem? I’ve never had to look for this detail before in Windows.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It does prevent Linux compatibility, but even if it didn’t, it’s a computer security problem, for those who care. You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

raspberriesareyummy,

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

CheeseNoodle,

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

raspberriesareyummy,

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

CheeseNoodle,
raspberriesareyummy,

Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…

trigonated,

Mostly, and even some Windows users don’t want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game’s anti-cheat.

It’s nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.

bay400,

Unless, of course, they add it months after release drastically limiting your chances of refunding (looking at you EA WRC 2024 😡)

trigonated,

That sucks : (

michaelmrose,

If they change the deal they should have to offer refunds. This makes it an expensive choice after the fact.

michaelmrose,

No its common for anti-cheat on Windows to have full root permission to your entire system Windows users are just on average less intelligent, less concerned about privacy, and, more ignorant about technology. This doesn’t mean using Windows makes you stupid its just the OS of choice for the stupid and ignorant.

nforminvasion,

Holy logical fallacy batman. Ad hominem much?

michaelmrose,

Ad hominem isn’t when you insult people AND make an argument its when you insult people INSTEAD of making an argument.

User initially believes that this is only a Linux issue because its almost entirely discussed on forums frequented by technical people who often use Linux whereas forums full of Windows gamers are equally effected but ignorant of the topic.

ouch, do games w Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October

I sent email to oxenfree@nightschoolstudio.com and told them in no uncertain words that what they are doing is illegal, and asked how they are going to fix the situation.

If I can find time to, I’ll see about contacting the local consumer protection organisation.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Nice, i wonder if that also means that we won’t have to download the installers or can just download all of the game files directly. Should make installing big games a lot faster and also help with limited disk space.

Hooray, I can finally play it. Had it on my wish-list for years, when I finally bought it I found out that neither the native Linux or the Windows+Proton version was working.
