I know everyone loves RE Engine for how performant it is, whilst still looking pretty good. But that’s mostly because it’s based on technologies designed for 2014 hardware, we’re really just reaping the rewards that come from Capcom having a good art team that can make that 2014 tech still look pretty good on modern stuff.
While I agree the art team has knocked it out of the park. The engine is really well optimize and because of that it has been able to keep up with graphics this mean years later.
Given the unremarkable difference in appearance I’ve seen on the “ultra modern” Unreal Engine 5 demos, I’m all for it. We can’t get the new generation right yet, let’s stay on the old where we can manage a consistent framerate.
It got pulled after DMA got sued for copyright infringement on the design and personalities of the unicycles in the game. The only place you could find a copy was at game rental places.
Huh… I must have gotten my copy before that happened. And lol at the reason. Who the hell held the copyright to the 'cycles personalities? From what I remember, they were all the same anyway, just different colored.
Edit: Oh shit, it was Pixar. And reading the case, and the evidence, it was a bullshit suit and the judge was an idiot. 🤦♂️
Hoping for fun times, but I guess I’m a little worried that the story for this expansion might lose appeal without a good conflict.
It’s very possible to make a well-written, region-localized storyline with lowered stakes than “potential end of all life”, I’m just uncertain how well they’ll do that given what the Warrior of Light has been through.
Cool, I might renew my sub to check out the FFXI content. I still play XI daily so I’d be curious to see what kind of lore they explore in the crossover.
Fyi we won’t get the first wing of the XI ally raid until 7.1 (3ish months after 7.0, so September/October/November 2024) and even then it will only be one third of the total story. Totally fine if you still sub, but you might not get much value out of it until 7.3 with the second wing some time in 2025
Yeah that’s a bit confusing, too. And sure, Endwalker brought a Healer and Shadowbringers brought a Tank, but they both also brought DPS, and now it’s a DPS only expansion making queues worse again. They need to do 1-2 expansions of only adding a tank and a healer.
If you’re looking for the real logic behind it, its because the majority of the player base is dps. Every expac has to have a dps as a new class. Otherwise the majority of the player base wont have a new class to play for an expac.
Last expac was healer/dps, one before that tank/dps, and before that dps x2. Its cyclical. So we were “due” for another double dps expac. Obviously the devs and director are free to make whatever decision they want, but this is the logic yoshi/the devs have talked about on their quarterly chats. (To my understanding)
Edit: If you’re looking for sympathy though, yeah i feel it. I always want more tanks. Warrior has always been my favorite and none of the other tanks have tickled my fancy since.
I just want classes with big two handers. All of them being tanks sucks. Sam/drg are just a skinny 2h with big muscles. Drk dps rotation lets me sort of live my fantasy though i suppose
Man, I want to get back into this game but just don’t have enough free time anymore… Glad I finished Endwalker though. At least that’s given me a bit of closure
I’m happy they stuck close to the original. I wouldn’t be interested if they added a bunch of new areas. The triple combo seems interesting, but even that is a bit off-putting for me. I really do just want the old game with better graphics.
If you’re ever stranded on a desert island, you have nothing but a computer and a bandwidth capped internet connection, download this game until your ISP comes after you and then you’ll be saved
Is this some kind of European joke I’m too American to understand? In the US the only way you’re getting internet service without a bandwidth cap is if you either pay a fortune for it or if you live so far out in the country they haven’t even invented bandwidth caps yet.
In my European country, there are no bandwidth caps for DSL or fibre connections. But if you’re not in a town (which most of us aren’t) and can only get internet via a 4g (or rarely 5g) connection, you have to live with a shitty 700GB cap, which is fucking ludicrous.
700 fucking gigabytes over 5g? That is fucking ludicrous. Around here you’re lucky to get a 7gb cap on a 5g plan but I think some people have cellular caps as high as 40gb.
I was talking about broadband at home via a 4g/5g router, not on a phone. They offer plans specifically for people who want internet at home, but who can’t get DSL/fibre.
Phones usually have a lower cap, like 50>200GB. I get 50GB with my phone provider for instance.
Halo was my favorite series for a long while. Fell off of infinite quickly after beating the campaign so I should probably boot the multiplayer back up and see how it is now a couple years later.
Rather than paying devs for old or new games perhaps Epic could put that money into making their launcher/store good?
The Epic launcher is intensely slow, I've got a 13700k, 32GB RAM, RTX 4080, stupid fast nvme SSD etc. Everything on it should be instant, why does it take ages just to load my library? Why can I not select the library to display by default?
Why is the interface so slow and horrible? Where are all the features of its competitor steam?
Why after all these years has it not seen any real improvement at all?
