Casual driving without pressure or violence? They can’t be the first, can they?

dual_sport_dork, 6 miesięcy temu

Definitely not. Test Drive Unlimited 2 leaps to mind, which while it certainly had racing events and racing related content in it, you could also just drive around doing nothing in particular as much as you wanted.

There are several other racing oriented games that nevertheless had open worlds and you’re never actually forced to race anybody in any of them, albeit usually at the expense of sacrificing any game progression and thus having a rather limited vehicle selection. Need For Speed Underground 2 and Forza Horizon, for instance.

The same is true for almost any open world game with vehicles. Casually driving a car in GTA while obeying the traffic rules has been a thing from the very beginning.

This still feels different somehow, though.

Snowrunner is a little bit about that too.

Nothing like taking out the ‘93 Mercury Sable for a drive.

Several of the teasers showed off a WIP Crown Vic. As a truck driver IRL that owns a Mercury Grand Marquis, it feels like this update is made just for me!

This plus Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana and I can finally recreate Smoky and the Bandit 1!

Man I love this game. That be kick ass. I still want them to add the ability to eat food. All those fast food and gas stations and can’t eat.

To keep the Smokey’s distracted whilst you run bootleg beer across state lines?

Wow I do not need yet another hobby but I know a couple dudes who will go nuts for this with their rigs.

We’d get a pretty good game format OS—if the players could agree to come together—and then licence that out. Just like we do with Blu-ray, just like we do with the compact disk—and let people compete on content.

I know this is the most Lemmy comment it’s possible to make, but oh, if only there were an OS that already exists that you could run games on and that didn’t even need licencing out!

Dremor, 6 miesięcy temu

FreeBSD, right ?

smeg, 6 miesięcy temu

ReactOS. Or TempleOS if you’re feeling holy.

captainlezbian, 6 miesięcy temu

Temple only runs family friendly games. And the entire doom series, which has been deemed sufficiently holy

I look forward to a virtual road trip my 86 Hyundai Pony.

So, according to popular belief it’s really a penis size simulator!

Bosht, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

I’ll be honest I find the ray tracing shit s gimmick that eats up too much resource. I’d much rather just have some awesome games to play, with good looks or not. PC gaming for me has always been about variety anyway. The console looking better never meant anything.

ChapulinColorado, 6 miesięcy temu

I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

Katana314, 6 miesięcy temu

Its supporters claim that in some ways it’s meant to make development easier; that it simplifies many lighting tricks devs handle manually.

I don’t necessarily think it’s a strong enough point since it’s often throwing hardware at a creativity/effort problem.

Bosht, 6 miesięcy temu

I’d actually never heard this angle but sounds legit. Cutting corners sounds pretty typical of talking head yltyoes that want to try to cut costs no matter what.

nesc, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

Start with a normal (as in one ofmy choice) web browser being installable on them, next step is opening to other marketplaces (lol).

ampersandrew, 6 miesięcy temu

That’s going to happen in only a few years, with the next Xbox.

nesc, 6 miesięcy temu

There is no built-in (usable) browser on ps5 nor switch, and nintendo will burn to the ground before allowing people installing their own software on ‘their’ hardware.

ampersandrew, 6 miesięcy temu (edited 6 miesięcy temu)

No one can predict the future, especially not now, but things are clearly changing. Microsoft is getting messaging out there right now to let you know the ways that they’re rolling with the punches. The next Xbox, and corresponding handhelds, will in all likelihood just be thinly disguised PCs that absolutely let you just install Steam, Epic, etc. on them if you so choose. So in that world, when you can buy an Xbox that also plays PlayStation games that have released on PC, how does Sony compete with that? That’s very up in the air.

And for all the ways that Nintendo has historically handled consoles, they’re under new management now that may be open to doing things differently. The way they’re trying to press their market advantage at the moment, which was already going to result in fewer units sold, could be even further undone at the worst possible time for them by a stupid trade war. How will they choose to respond to that? Because bleeding money by sticking to their old ways isn’t going to be what happens. If they did burn to the ground, the insurance company that owns their intellectual property would dig them out of the ashes and sell them where they can make money again.

The Xbox once did have a version of Internet Explorer on it, I remember.

Venator, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

Nah im pretty sure my pc cooling fans are a bit louder than my ps5 ones, and they’re not that high pitched.

Kolanaki, 6 miesięcy temu do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.

My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.

CarbonatedPastaSauce, 6 miesięcy temu

Stop buying cheap fans?

My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.

Kolanaki, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s literally the GPU’s (a 1660 Super) fan that’s loudest. I can’t change that out, afaik. The case fans are Noctuas and the CPU has a Corsair AIO liquid cooler.

CarbonatedPastaSauce, 6 miesięcy temu

Ah yeah not much you can do about that unless you put an aftermarket cooler on it and that’s a PITA.

LOL, imagine thinking you’d ever actually have a wide selection of in-stock GPUs to choose from and wouldn’t have to settle for what you can get.

Agent_Karyo, 6 miesięcy temu

Surprised it’s your GPU fans that are the loudest, I barely hear my 3080 and I regularly heard the CPU cooling fans, but then again I most play strategy games that heavily bottlenecked by CPU.

GPU fan noise is not something that’s easily fixable, unlike CPU cooling.

SkunkWorkz, 6 miesięcy temu

You can just buy those adapter cables that lets you connect PWM case fans to your GPU and just jury rig the fans onto your GPU. Not the best looking setup. But I rather have a silent PC than a good looking pc. Like you hear your PC constantly while you only look at your PC once in a while.
