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.

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

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

pcgamer.com/doom-co-creator-john-carmack-is-headl…

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.

John Carmack is a legend, but a fucken douche.

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

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,

sometimes the character lighting in the gen screen is completely different from in-game

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.

I thought my tiefling druid with green cornrows looked ok in the character gen screen, but she admittedly looks kind of stupid now, though it doesn’t help that she has this emotionless expression on her face. I think I’ll just make her wear the mask of the shapeshifter from now on.

Ive had more issues on this game than not having the right haircut… ive had scenes turn black mid dialogue, clipping through walls, weird camera angles that force my character to T-pose… the list goes on. The game is great as long as it doesnt get bugged out

Duke_Nukem_1990,

All of those sound like minor bugs at worst tbh

Artaca,

They sound minor, they look hilarious, but then your smile fades as whatever is causing the bug blocks input to try and get past it, forcing a reload. I’m LOVING this game, but out of the 20 or so hours I’ve been able to sink into it since launch, a solid 2-3 of those hours have been retracing steps or generally trying to circumvent big bugs.

(Full disclosure: I am playing exclusively on the Steam Deck which I am 99.9% certain is the reason for all of the bugs I face)

Duke_Nukem_1990,

Interesting! I haven’t encountered any such bugs on Arch Linux (I use arch btw) so maybe there is some specific deck trickery going on.

themusicman,

Not sure if the steam deck gives you this option, but I’ve found the directx version to be much more stable than Vulcan when using proton

Andy293,

That’s so strange, I am 40 hrs in and can’t remember any bugs.

The only annoying thing is the camera that sometimes doesn’t show the layer I want so see and it’s sometimes hard to navigate, but I wouldn’t count that as a bug. Also characters in my party walking over hazardous areas when following the main char is so fucking annoying. I’m like 99% sure they didn’t do that in divinity original sin 2

PatFussy,

Yeah im also about 40 hours in and ive had at least 4 or 5 force quits where ive lost about an hour of time. Ive had bugs right from the beginning. In the cutscene where you leave the ship, ive had 2 friends say their screen either just flickered or their screen froze on screen for minutes. It was funny because they were playing naked and the screen froze on their butt for a solid 2 minutes. This is only within the first 1 hour. Ive had maybe 20 or 30 occurances where the screen freezes and I have to either wait for the game to unfreeze or it goes to that force quit i mentioned earlier.

I know the teams are different but i just thought its weird that its not talked about. It cant be just my group of friends that has these issues.

RegularGoose, (edited )

Ive had more issues on this game than not having the right haircut…

Sure, but it’s not like the team responsible for fixing those bugs is likely to be the same team working on character creation. Any time any studio announces something like this, people suddenly act like division of labor isn’t a thing. If you’re running a store and new inventory needs to get unloaded off the truck, you wouldn’t shut down the checkouts and send your cashiers who don’t drive forklifts to go do it.

SmoochyPit, do gaming w Modern Warfare 3 campaign early access, beta details and pre-order bonuses leak | VGC

As a huge fan of MW19 and a fairly big fan of MW22, I won’t be buying or playing.

The monetization has gotten far too aggressive, realistic styled assets have gone out the door, and the studio behind this upcoming game made Vanguard, my worst purchase of 2021.

Damn it.

Blaiz0r, do gaming w Modern Warfare 3 campaign early access, beta details and pre-order bonuses leak | VGC

I haven’t played the campaign from either of the last 2 games and barely even bothered with regular multiplayer in MW2, mostly sticking to Warzone and DMZ instead.

I have no interest in MW3 at all

Specifically, they’re cutting off purchases of new games - but people can still download games they own.

The PS3, I believe, did this a while back. Up to a point, patching the device’s internet security so that the credit card info isn’t stolen in transit takes more effort than it’s worth. But, letting people still download their games has no real internet security risk.

One question that lingers in my mind though, is whether you can still buy new games using a desktop browser. I think that was something PS3 allowed for for some time.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s opposite with the PS3. They kept the option to buy PS3 games because of reactions. But it’s only possible through the PS3, so the PS3 games won’t clutter PSN.

Purchases of new games on the Xbox 360 console itself. You will still be able to purchase Xbox 360 games on a newer console or their website then download them to your 360 console.

Will you still be able to download 360 games via the Xbox One?

Omegamanthethird, (edited )
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

It sounds like the impact is only for the 360 console. So if it’s BC on Xbox One, you’ll still be able to buy, download, and play them on Xbox One.

The only games that will be unpurchasable/downloadable are the ones only available on the 360 to begin with.

Can I still play my Xbox 360 games after July 2024?

Yes, you will still be able to play the games you purchased on Xbox 360. If you purchased the game digitally or have a physical disc, you can still jump in and play. If you’ve deleted a game that you have purchased, but you want to play again, you’ll still be able to re-download it.

What about multiplayer games via the Xbox network? Can I still play with my friends?

Yes. Even after July 2024, you will still be able to play games and connect with friends through multiplayer on the games you purchased, as long as the publisher still supports the online servers. You can still save your games and progress to the cloud, and if you choose to continue any of those available games on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, those cloud saves will transfer over.

Can I still buy and play Xbox 360 backward-compatible titles?

There is no impact to purchasing or playing backward-compatible Xbox 360 titles. After July 29, 2024, you will still be able to purchase hundreds of great backward-compatible Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games and DLC on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox.com. We believe in celebrating gaming’s rich history and have worked hard to preserve as many games as possible through our backward-compatibility program. You can find the full list of backward-compatible titles here.

I’m more than a little sad to see it happen but it was only a matter of time. At least we can still download past purchases and play multiplayer.
