DarkThoughts, do gaming w New Steam RTS is basically a surprise Command and Conquer sequel

I'm not super interested in classic RTS anymore, thanks to 4X, but I'll keep an eye out for it and try the playtest. I still have my doubts that it will capture the same charm as the original C&C though. Especially someone like Kane will be hard to replace, and I feel he was such a big face for NOD that drove the whole story & mysteries forward.

    Thanks, that’s a very interesting triva. Also reminded me to finally play Ion Fury I’ve bought so long ago. I’m even more interested in the game now

    Wonder how this would compare to moonlight + sunshine combo.

    emogu,

    Exactly what I was thinking. I’m still running on the fumes of gfe+moonlight while thats still working. Hopefully Steam RP has taken cues from all the recent competition.

    But as with all RP options it’s probably still gonna be a ymmv situation.

    CarlosCheddar,

    One plus of remote play is that I can set the controller bindings via Steam Input. On moonlight I wasn’t able to do the same since it just seemed to emulate an xbox controller.

    Hopefully this includes bug fixes and more compatibility with linux?

    I’ve been trying and failing to get my Debian host to stream to an Nvidia Shield Pro

    Can you steam windows games? Had a kid so I’m going to have to stream Starfield to my laptop

    emogu,

    Yep. Just set it so it launches to desktop instead of BP and you can launch anything from anywhere. There might be some finagling to do with controller input/mapping depending on the game/launcher but it should be fine in most cases.

    funnystuff97,

    Steam Remote Play is basically my Remote Desktop these days. Steam Link Box on the TV or Steam Link App from the phone, and I’m golden. It works surprisingly well with very little latency.

    FracturedEel,

    I’ve never tried to remote play what do you need for it to work

    funnystuff97,

    Steam and an Internet connection. That’s it. If you log in to the same Steam account on your PC and Phone/Steam Link/Steam Deck/etc, Steam will take care of everything and hook you up seamlessly. It’s worth trying out!

    In fact i’d say this is a significant emergent feature that has been overlooked, you can set up a windows box in a dark corner of your house and stream games to your deck/laptop/phone/fridge without worrying about noise or compatibility.

    I feel like valve needs to hire a guy to just sit around the office and occasionally go “hey uh, sounds like we could just polish up this edge case and market it as a rather mind-blowing feature?”

    mnemonicmonkeys, do games w Valve gives Steam Remote Play a long overdue upgrade

    I wonder how Valve pulled this off. Iirc, they had to reduce performance for remote play a couple years bag by switching to software acceleration when their license for hardware acceleration couldn’t be renewed

    Spudwart,

    Probably using VP9 or AV1 codec now and didn’t want to pay for HEVC.

    VP9 and AV1 are open codecs. and AV1 > H.265

    Kyoyeou,

    I’ve heard of AV1 but never of VP9

    nodiet,

    A few web services such as YouTube use VP9. It was developed by google to have a royalty-free alternative to HEVC.

    I wish they’d give SteamVR on Linux a long overdue upgrade.

    And by upgrade I mean “Make it look like it’s a project which is even alive”

    It needs the same treatment as Big Picture and now Remote Play have gotten even on Windows, too. It’s clunky and really kinda shit. It still uses the old Big Picture UI as a base. And I don’t mean the one recently upgraded from; I mean the one before that.

    What upgrade? Can someone copy the article here, the website says I'm blocked

    UsernameIsTooLon,

    4k streaming. That’s it. The article just copies and pastes around “4k” as much as possible but that’s the only feature.

    No actual Disney princesses? What a letdown.

    You sound like a flop.

    Cypher,

    Feel free to revisit this about 2 months after this free to play MMO trash releases and has its player count fall off a cliff.

    This isn’t a new game, dude. People who play it already know what they’re getting into.

    Wodge,
    @Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

    You seem to be unaware that this is basically fantasy warframe, made by the original warframe team, which has been consistently one of the most popular games on steam for years. The dev team is very successful at what they do, and they’re doing more of it. It probably has one of the best monitization systems of any F2P game, with it all being cosmetics and time skips, nothing that makes you more powerful than a purely free player.

    Stop posting, you know nothing about this subject and are making yourself look like bit of a numpty.

    conciselyverbose,

    Thanks for this. I was unaware, and that sounds like it has potential.

    Cypher,

    I can’t think of a quicker way to kill a soulslike than to slap a Disney Princess label on it and fill it to the brim with micro transactions.

    I will enjoy rubbing people’s faces in the failure of this soon to be forgotten trash.

    Wodge,
    @Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

    Stay mad.

    Do you think a "soulslike" is defined by being dark and gritty? I find it odd that you think the inclusion of anything cute or hopeful/friendly would be only a negative. Maybe your preferences are for dark and gritty only, but I assure you that many people enjoy other styles. There's a charm to there being hope in a dying world, isn't there?

    Besides, I'd say most people define "soulslike" by their gameplay, not aesthetics. Maybe the "git gud" fragile-masculinity crowd needs their unforgiving combat system paired with a dark, 'masculine' atmosphere to fulfill their power fantasy, but again, I assure you that many other types of people enjoy those games - especially Elden Ring, which has much broader appeal than the previous souls games.

    I'll wager you're a toxic "git gud" type that hinges their identity on these types of games, and that's why the idea of your sacred icon being blemished by comparison to Soulframe upsets you so much. I really can't see why else anyone would be this angry over a game not being to their preferences. If people enjoy something different than you, let them. :)

    Cypher,

    Microtransaction fueled garbage is a blight on the consumer and I will always hope these greedy developers fail, aside from that the article itself is so poorly written I have to wonder if it was done by a bot.

    The gameplay they showed near the start of Tennocon looked really intriguing game world wise. DE is fantastic at world building so it should be a treat!

    And it’ll be free to play so nothing to lose trying it once it’s out

    @Fazoo@lemmy.ml avatar

    That worries me about predatory MTX then. F2P MMOs tend to go hard in that stuff.

    Rezbit,
    @Rezbit@lemmy.world avatar

    Assuming it’s the same they do in Warframe, it’ll only be cosmetics that are only available with the premium currency. The premium currency is also tradeable, so F2P can get it without spending

    falkerie71,
    @falkerie71@sh.itjust.works avatar

    They’ve been F2P for a long time now. What’s different about their model is that, although you can buy in game currencies on their site, you can also trade them with other players for stuff. So if you want to play completely free, you can grind for your loot and valuable items on the market, then trade it with other players.

    HidingCat,

    Warframe's been around a long time; I know in these parts there's a certain purist view towards MTX, but Warframe does it well enough that I don't mind paying for some of it and getting a lot of game in return.

    ConstableJelly, do gaming w Soulframe is Elden Ring meets Ghost of Tsushima, but with 'Disney princesses' - PCGamesN

    Cozy f2p MMO with Disney princess vibes is a mix of Elden Ring and Ghost of Tsushima? This equation does not compute.

    Gameplay demo looks fine…but the encounters looked a little manufactured to give the appearance of elden-ring-like combat, when I would wager it’s going to be much more hack n slashy in reality.

    sandriver,

    Cozy Soulslike is a great concept honestly. I loved the first Dark Souls because it mostly facilitated slow and tactical combat. Favourite build was a pyromancer with a high stability shield. Tweak the numbers to add more tolerance to errors (like the boss demonstration showed) and you do get a much more relaxed Soulslike.

    @HKayn@dormi.zone avatar

    I’m pretty sure the only reason those two games are mentioned in the headline is to boost the article’s SEO

    ConstableJelly,

    Eh, the interviewer and developer make explicit references to both in the article.
