Let’s see what MS has to say about that. Although they won’t say anything officially, of course. But they’ll certainly try to prevent this sort of thing from catching on from behind the scenes.

Back in Balmers days there would have been a mysterous briefcase men suggesting adjusted prices for all future MS involvement.

And you really believe they’re not doing that any more?

Probably, but back then they were really aggressive and even went after some small school in ass end of the world, because local newspapers had informed that the school was planning to swap computer lab devices to use various open source operating systems.

In went the MS briefcase man and the plans were scrapped in silence.

They’re less open about it but you can bet they’re still at it. Any OEM that sells anything but Windows will be penalised in licensing deals.

tehmics, do games w Zotac Zone review: Display galore with class-leading inputs

These reviews never do a great job talking about UI/UX and that’s literally the only thing I care about until they get the steam deck OS or Microsoft actually enters the space with a Windows version.

Could always install Bazzite on it, which would fix the UI issues and bring it on par with the Steam Deck.

Bring back burnout

Burnout Paradise was so good, spent hundreds of hours with it. At least the last game in the series was a good one.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Paradise didn’t do it for a lot of us, and we’re still waiting for a good successor to Takedown and Revenge.

Kjell,
@Kjell@lemmy.world avatar

I only played them at friends. Was the races started from a menu instead of driving around in the city to find races? Or was it the car feeling and handling that was different?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly the former. You got a better variety of courses rather than Paradise reusing a lot of the same pieces of something that distinctly looked like only one city, and a menu was just a quicker way to get in and out of the part of the game you wanted to play.

Kjell,
@Kjell@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, personally I liked going around in the city but I understand why you didn’t enjoy Paradise as much as Takedown and Revenge. Too bad that they changed the concept of the series. Didn’t EA change Need for speed to open-world some years earlier with Underground 2? They could have kept one of the series as races started from a menu.

sounds like a good time to use my mom’s now unused switch and buy a used Mario Maker 2 cartridge. Been watching YouTube videos about it and kinda wanna try.

Ok so I tried to go onto the Facebook website to use Facebook marketplace to get a cartridge but apparently it got hacked somehow because it’s my email, but it’s not my name and it got banned in October LMAO
Id have to upload photo proof of my face, so guess I’ll just keep not using Facebook.

Looks like they’re ~30 bucks on eBay though.

john89,

Why not just emulate and play your games for free?

TriflingToad,

I looked into that. I’m wanting to play online levels and there’s no way as far as I know to do that with emulation :/
I appreciate the recommendation though :)

john89,

No problem.

I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.

I genuinely think we need a “Stop Killing Games” like movement to resurrect old games, but with a more public-domain approach.

As in remaking games like NFS, Command & Conquer, Freedom Fighter or Earth-2150 but make the assets public domain so that others can pick up & add things to the setting

HK65,

Trademarks should expire quicker I guess. That said, copyright in general is broken.

nuggsy, do gaming w Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake reportedly brings new gameplay mechanics alongside updated graphics
@nuggsy@lemmy.world avatar

Fantastic pirate game. Very sub-par AC game, compared to its predecessors.

I don’t feel like remaking Black Flag was necessary? It’s not that old. Why not remake AC1? Improve that and reduce it repetitiveness.

I wonder if it will be an improvement on the original game or if it will follow the current format of AC games, which I enjoy less.

All I’ve wanted is an AC game in the vein of Uncharted or Tomb Raider Reboot, with an emphasis on story and stealth/assassinations.

This is the only thing that could push me to upgrade from my steamdeck. SteamOS is so slick.

I’ll never get a hand held gaming PC with out track pads. So fucking useful and add so many more games you can play comfortably.

I really liked Need for Speed World and discovered it 1 week before the severs were taken offline.

At least I still have Need for Speed Most Wanted III.

MightyCuriosity,

The community has resurrected NFS world though.

atrielienz, do games w 'Powered bv SteamOS' gaming handheld validation leaks in Valve documentation, Asus ROG Ally may be among first handhelds with official SteamOS support

I’m currently running Bazzite but have been thinking about picking up an ROG Ally X for my husband. I think it having steam OS would be better for him in general. Hope this is available soon.

prole,

Get him an OLED Steam Deck instead. I don’t know why anyone would get a ROG, especially if you’re just going to put SteamOS on it.

atrielienz,

He has the same problem I did. He has games that aren’t compatible with steam os and it’s one of those things where it’s actually easier to dual boot windows than it is to fuck around with compatibility layers for things that don’t run in proton.

He also isn’t a fan of the touchpads. I personally like the ergonomics of the Ally x better but that’s my own preference.

Nibodhika, do games w New Windows gamepad keyboard will soon make typing on Legion Go, Asus ROG Ally more like the Steam Deck

With it, you can use your Xbox controller to move around the screen and type.

Does that mean you couldn’t before? Seriously people were playing around on a handheld that couldn’t even type?

Button accelerators are also available; these include the X button for backspace and the Y button for the spacebar.

WTF!? Isn’t that standard also?

For better movement patterns, the keyboard keys are aligned vertically."

Does this even make a difference?

In any case, the title is bullshit, it should be that will make windows handhelds close to typing on consoles which sucks. Typing on the Deck is a completely different experience, one that can’t be replicated in any of these handhelds because they lack the hardware to do so.
