Naz, do games w Larian working on mid-game Baldur’s Gate 3 character customisation

Major quality of life feature. People make mistakes, sometimes the character lighting in the gen screen is completely different from in-game and now your character is stuck with purple eyes.

What I’d like to see afterwards is player PC slot kicking / clearing. Far too many people have started a game with some friends only for a person to quit/leave after dropping by to realize to their horror that character is permanently locked to that save and can’t be replaced with an NPC.

Ungroup that character and have them run into battle alone

Lol. Goodbye BlazeIt! Go out in a...YourName of glory!

But I think people want those characters to show up when the player does and disappear the rest of the time. Otherwise your CoOp saves pretty much need to be 100% co-op. Can't really drop in and out with your friends.

Shatter,

I’ve seen this in a lot of games recently and it annoys me a bit. Diablo 4 for example the character creation hair color looks sometimes okay, but then in-game horrible.

For role play purposes we could add scars and stuff after particularly nasty fights, or maybe face paint/tattoos if your backstory imaginations involve tribalism and body art trophies.

Maybe if Larian feels like it they can have different npcs react if your character changed since they last spoke to you, like suddenly vibrant blue hair is now red

Sanctus, do games w John Carmack returns to QuakeCon for first time in a decade: ‘I’m so happy I’m now welcome’

John Carmack is a legend, but a fucken douche.

The man’s a legend, but not without recent controversy:

Marzepansion,

Well that’s just painful to read. I wonder how political a conference could be named before he thinks even showing up is no longer the neutrality he thinks he is showing. “BasedCon” is by its definition a political name, and simply showing up shows you are at least receptive to the message, or willing to ignore it.

I do get that he might be wanting to disassociate the Con from the craft, but if I take it further, would he go to PolPotCon? I doubt he would, even if the interest aligned.

llii, do games w A new fan-made port of Wipeout can be played in a web browser

I whish games would recognize that some lanugages keyboards have the Y and Z keys swapped.

MomoTimeToDie,

I wish some languages would realize their keyboards are wrong

sugar_in_your_tea,

Or that some people use non-“standard” layouts like Dvorak and Colemak. It’s not hard to just use the key code instead of relying on the key label.

This brings back some memories

What the tech for running it in browser? WebAssembly? On mobile so couldn’t inspect the website . (Also kinda lazy)

NikkiNikkiNikki,
@NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social avatar

If it is in rust, then probably yes

sznio,

It’s good old C.

simple,

It is indeed Wasm, it’s become the standard for games on the browser unless the game is made in javascript (which would run poorly)

What I’d do for a Wipeout Omega Collection PC port…

This is super cool, though

ABCDE,

How do you actually play it without smashing into the walls?

@artillect@kbin.social avatar

You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners

DarkThoughts,

Never got used to the handling of the ships in Wipeout as a kid. Enjoyed F-Zero X a lot more. Didn't really care for the combat aspects either.

I wish there was a good anti gravity racer for the PC with extensive ship customization and lots of unlockables though (as in playing to unlock, not paying). There's pretty much just small indie titles and most of them aren't even particularly good.

JohnEdwa,
@JohnEdwa@kbin.social avatar

The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

DarkThoughts,

Can't get any closer to Wipeout than that.

Redout feels more like F-Zero imo. GRiP isn't anti gravity racer. Maybe more comparable to Extreme G. Reminds me of my old RC car though.

DarkThoughts,

It's not Wipeout, but BallisticNG might still be interesting for you.

wryan,

Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!

simple,

I’ve been aware of it for a while but never got around to playing it, thanks for the reminder!

fritata_fritato, do games w Stalker 2 could still release this year, according to distributor listing

Whenever will be all good. There are a few things going on over there

Nfntordr, do games w Stalker 2 could still release this year, according to distributor listing

Release about 1 month after Starfield to potentially capitalise on everyone realising it didn’t live up to the hype.

Hubi, do games w Stalker 2 could still release this year, according to distributor listing

I hope they get all the time they need, I really want this game to be good.

djsaskdja, do games w Stalker 2 could still release this year, according to distributor listing

This feels like a classic Spring release type game.

ME5SENGER_24, do games w Ubisoft has a new Far Cry IP boss

I like these games. I do. But at the same time I don’t. They’re repetitive in the gameplay and it gets stale to the point where I never finish them.

Along with the Assassins Creed series, they have sucked me in and don’t deliver enough to maintain my business, yet a couple of months after a release when I see them go on sale the end up in my collection.

I’m hoping this news will end in an awesome game that I’m obviously going to buy and that I will actually finish, for once

coffinwood,

Agree. I’m playing Far Cry 6 and somehow got the feeling it’s even slightly worse (more stupid) than the 5th entry.

The map is filled to the brim with NPCs and animals, yet I’ve rarely witnessed such a dead world. Not a single NPC has a purpose or life. Cars outside the render distance disappear from the game too: turn around and that vehicle is gone like in those 1980’s video games. Turn around again: new NPC.

Finished a checkpoint / road block: your car is gone Baddies reappear in enemy areas although I just cleared it out. Such a lack of persistence is almost an offense.

Not one car that doesn’t sound their horn at me because they think I’m trying to ram them off the road. Arcade games from decades ago were less dumb.

Nfntordr,

Ubi really need to scale down the size of these games and adopt a quality over quantity mindset. I’ve played multiple Ubi IPs and they’re the fucking same at its core.

Maybe this means that fivem will come to consoles if rockstar is officially supporting it now
