Geek_King, do gaming w Kingmakers Is Getting A Live Action Film Adaptation, From The Makers Of The Sonic Movie Franchise

Well that’s bizarre, I had wishlisted Kingmakers to keep track of it, but it felt like a ambitious game by an indie dev. To have it suddenly flagged for a live action film adaptation feels out of the blue.

Not to say that the premise wouldn’t fun in a movie, because it most definitely would be.

USSEthernet, do games w Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to last-gen consoles next month

Was it ever fixed for PC? Last I heard, it was still a stuttery mess and I just decided to avoid it.

FeelzGoodMan420,

There is a patch coming out for PC that claims to improve performance. We’ll see if it actually does anything meaningful.

n1ck_n4m3,
@n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m running a 10900KF running at 4.2GHz with a 4090 and spinning in a circle on Koboh still drops my FPS to 10-12 from ~110-120 (even with RT fully disabled, since the implementation of it in this game is hot garbage). This game was the straw that broke the pre-order back for me, haha. I played the original on PC and loved it – was surprised as hell to see the sequel have so many problems that the first didn’t.

I just played through the story on PC and it ran fine. Only thing I had issues with was the built in controller support conflicting with the Steam Input API.

Last as in “previous” or “final”?

DesolateMood,

“Last gen” pretty universally means previous

Katana314,

But given how hard it is to convince people to move off of that generation, “last” could start to have other meanings.

If you’re developing a chill, low-graphics indie game in Unity these days, there is still basically no reason to target the PS5.

Zorque,

Pretty sure their target would be “anyone who wants to buy the game”.

Katana314,

The point being, you can target the PS4 for that though.

Zorque,

You can target lots of things. And most probably do, cause if you limit yourself to one platform your audience diminishes severely.

@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

The year is 2077.

Pollution and nuclear war destroyed the environment.

The economy is in shambles, big corporations rule over the world and exploit the powerless working class.

Crime has overtaken the country. It doesn’t matter who you are: you are either one of them, or on the receiving end.

Breathable air is a subscription service, and price hikes happen every other month to please shareholders.

Game devs are still releasing games for the PS4 and XOne consoles. Nobody has yet understood the purpose of the next gen consoles. Every other day, someone screams “but muh exclusives!” to the sky. But no one answers back. God remains silent.

big_slap, do games w Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to last-gen consoles next month

does this mean it will be steam deck verified too?

Phegan,

I heard the PC port was abysmal, so not sure it is even playable on the steam deck, let alone able to be verified.

big_slap,

it is pretty terrible, I was one of the people who purchased it. I stopped playing because it crashed three times at the same mini boss. but porting backwards gives me some hope for a verified status. time will tell

Is it finally stable and playable on PC?

MeaanBeaan,

Without checking I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.

umbrella,
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

as is tradition with pc games now

yesman,

It plays much better than it did on launch.

I’ve got a 1660Ti, and it’s not perfect but smooth enough to play med settings on 1080p. The biggest thing holding me back was VRAM, so I’m interested how they address that on the older consoles, with an eye toward better performance for me.

Codilingus,

I tried about 2 months ago, it was not.

SpaceNoodle,

I played it with no issues on my PC at release, so … yes?

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

Sounds like you just didn’t notice/remember the problems in that case. There was/is performance issues that will show up regardless of your hardware setup. “Runs fine on my pc” is simply not true, unless your pc runs on magic.

Bimfred,

I mean if you want to invalidate my lived experience, sure. Played on release on a 5600X, RTX3070 and 32GB of RAM, 1080p, almost everything maxed out. Open areas on Koboh saw a drop to mid-40 fps, but other than that, I had one hard crash and no bugs I noticed.

BertramDitore,
@BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

I had the same experience with pretty much the same hardware. I played right after launch and had one or two crashes and a few stutters here and there, but otherwise I found it to be a surprisingly stable game, especially considering the wildly negative press it was getting at the time.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

Nothing wrong with not noticing stutters, on the contrary you’re probably lucky to not notice that kind of stuff. However when the problems are documented to be hardware independent and shows up on far more powerful hardware than your own, it’s not a case of “works fine on my computer”.

Something like shader compilation stutter will still cause issues for the top end CPU in 10 years time for old poorly designed UE5 games.

NewNewAccount,

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I honestly wish I couldn’t detect stutters.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

People don’t like being confronted and told they’re objectively wrong. It’s not a new phenomenon that people report not experiencing problems that we know all systems, regardless of computing power, encounter when playing a given problematic game. And people get defensive when told they just didn’t notice it.

SpaceNoodle,

No, it’s because you’re being a petulant turd when people inform you that you are objectively wrong.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

Some stranger’s 5600x doesn’t randomly have the hardware to compile shaders at 10x the speed of top of the line CPUs. A game that suffers from shader compilation stutters will do so on all systems. To say it didn’t stutter for you means either that:

  1. The game never compiled the shaders
  2. You already had the shaders pre-compiled, which isn’t a thing on normals PCs
  3. You never noticed
  4. You’re lying

It’s impossible to avoid for games that suffer from it.

Bimfred,

I suppose I’m somewhat fortunate to have been a poor bastard for most of my life. 25fps with moldy potato settings was just fine, as long as the game didn’t crash or deep fry the CPU, so I’m not as sensitive to the occasional drop below 60fps and don’t feel slighted when I have to turn some settings down. Though I can understand being incensed when you’ve poured thousands into a bleeding-edge gaming rig that’s supposed to handle anything at 4k, maxed out and a stable 120fps and it’s the game itself dragging your experience down.

But the stutters weren’t the only problem people reported early on. There were cries of the game being unplayable, on account of endless bugs, visual glitches and repeated hard crashes. Worst I got was the normal mapping on Cal’s face getting real weird in certain lighting conditions. That’s hardly game-breaking.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

I’m somewhat insensitive to it myself but shader compilation stutter is something that is measurable and reproducible so there aren’t any room for arguments around it.

Other problems, yeah they may be system dependent although something like animation rubber banding I suspect would be the same across systems, though hard to identify if you aren’t experienced.

SpaceNoodle, (edited )

All computers run on enchanted runes in graven rocks, so yeah, it runs on magic.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

A course in computer architecture would dispel that mystery real quick

SpaceNoodle,

BertramDitore,
@BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

I played it on my RTX 3070 shortly after launch, and while there were certainly some stutters here and there and the very occasional crash, for the most part it actually ran fine. I think the poor quality of the PC port has been seriously overblown. Granted I don’t care much about sustaining insanely high frame rates, but the game itself was amazing on its own, and even better having played and enjoyed the first one. Well worth any remaining technical glitches.

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

yeah it worked fine on my 3080 too.

RidderSport,

Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.

I guess if it’s a situation where multiple enemies are in sight everyone would focus on the cybertruck so you’d be even more targeted than normal (I have no idea how to play Fortnite).

ladicius,

That’s exactly what will happen (that ugly nazi car is not yet available ingame).

variants,

I guess everyone will work in solidarity to kill the player who picked the cybertruck character, then once that’s done the remaining humanoids will just play like normal

Archelon,

Quoted in the article:

“i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“

I played that back when it was called Team Fortress.

Edit: I didn’t mean that to be dismissive of Fortnite or ignore the vast differences, just commenting on that particular description which perfectly matches playing an engineer in TF2 and I think TF, but that was a long time ago.

So it’s CoD but with building mechanics

shasta,

Yes

Fedizen,

Trainguyrom,

My wife’s been playing a bunch of it and honestly best I can tell it’s an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with a easy-to-use game engine for beginners to make mini games in (similar to Roblox’s various games) with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing.

Which is kinda confusing given Epic also has Core which is also an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with easy-to-use game engine with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing

Oh and Fortnite has its official Battle Royale mode that’s largely a copy of PUBG

Doof,

This wouldn’t change how I play? I already destroy everything on sight (in Fortnite).

Ultraviolet,

The change is if you see one, there’s an implied truce between every non-Cybertruck-owner until they’re dead, then it’s back to a free for all.

Yes, it was funny when the entire game would stop just to focus on killing the gold skin user. Didn’t matter what team they were on, they became the collective target of everyone in the match. Good times, indeed.

CosmicTurtle0,

Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don’t see the “truck” part.

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.

Where is the “truck” part?

BeigeAgenda,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

It has a bed with a cover on, raccoons think it’s a dumpster and try and open it.

Starbuck,

Trucks with covers are a thing, it’s called a tonneau. What’s not normal is for them to be permanent.

_stranger_,

That’s not entirely true. The high end of aftermarket covers are electric, require the semi permanent installation of rails, wires, and the box, and are fairly cumbersome to remove. They’re not permanent in that they can be removed, but practically no one does this. Rivian’s truck has one built in as well. Most legacy manufacturers leave this to dealers to do as it’s an easy high profit accessory for them to upsell.

Starbuck,

Yeah, that’s I mean though, it’s optional and not a fundamental design of the truck.

_stranger_,

For legacy automaker pickups, that’s true. It’s a dream accessorie: a factory, waterproof, roll away, electric, secure tonneau that doesn’t eat bed space is a HUGE draw.

CheeseNoodle,

Someone on my discord posted the warranty terms and apparently it doesn’t cover unusual damage or useage such as exposrure to rain, sunlight or being used off a paved road. So no its not a truck, in fact it doesn’t even stand up as a car.

Trainguyrom,

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot. Where is the “truck” part?

Generally if you get a truck and do truck things with it, there’s 2 specific things a truck will have that no other class has:

  1. A protected bed that you can put bulky and dirty/stinky items into for transport
  2. The ability to pull a large trailer

But hilariously your average crossover is fully capable of hauling an inexpensive trailer and a couple thousand pounds of whatever if not more than that, which covers 99.9% of the lifestyle arguments most pavement princes truck owners make for why they need a truck

Cethin,

Yeah, for sure trucks do not own pulling trailers, and they are fairly bad for cargo also. Truck fans will hate it, but a minivan can take care of both of those probably just as well, if not potentially better. The one use case is oversized cargo, which is almost never hauled by anyone. In the off chance you need that you can rent a truck or uhaul.

CosmicTurtle0,

I’m in the market for a truck and actually drew this same conclusion. Trucks are terrible in fuel efficiency and would likely not be my daily driver.

The main reason I want to buy (vs renting a truck or uhaul) is primarily availability. When I’m doing a weekend project, on more than one occasion I could not rent a truck because everyone else had the same idea.

Over the past year, I’ve rented the Home Depot truck four times, totaling about $400 which includes fuel and late fees. The main difference between renting a Home Depot truck vs a uhaul is that you don’t pay mileage. Renting the Uhaul once is about $200 with mileage and gas.

Uhuals can be reserved, but at that price point it’s not worth it.

XeroxCool,

If you’re a new homeowner and either have a lot to fix or a lot of projects in mind, a pickup is great. Daily driving it is useful for when you have to grab materials after work. I opted for an older $2000 Ranger 4cyl 2wd earlier this year for that so I’m not killed by fuel economy. It gets 20mpg on my commute but I do also split that with a 50mpg motorcycle. It’s also great for when you see random bulky things on the side of the road you want. I did start with a 4x8 trailer but it’s not as convenient. I admit, part of that was because my wife s car was the only one with a functional hitch.

But I’m talking a Ranger. Like an F-050. 115hp. This little guy has hauled so much already. The only thing it can’t technically do is tow a car and I don’t have the capital left to buy a nonrunning project car. I’ve been eyeing the new Maverick in hybrid form. But maybe by time I have the cash for such a new vehicle I won’t be doing reno projects anymore

Clasm,

I’m going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.
