Dhewm 3 for Doom 3. Just updates the game engine to run better on modern hardware since id tech 4 is open source. Mod support sort of, not every mod is compatible. They helpfully list those that do here: https://dhewm3.org/mods.html
Does VCMI includes the ability to play the original campaigns with everything they had, on whatever language they were installed? It’s not clear in their FAQ.
I tried installing the original with HD mod through lutris on a PC I am converting to linux, only to discover HD mod just doesn’t support the French version of the game.
Lutris apparently passes down the system language to the installer with no option to change it. I’m sure there is a way to change the install script, but I haven’t really looked into it yet.
If there’s a way to pass down the French version in VCMI and get about the same improvements HD mod provides, and get all that to run natively, maybe I won’t have to.
That fucking suuuuuuuuucks. I wonder if there’s a mod that could accommodate you somehow. I’m not trying to spawn a big debate about difficulty in games here, but I really wish you’d be able to play it for yourself, somehow.
I agree. I was imagining maybe a time dilation mod that you could toggle on/off to make your inputs less physically demanding, but I don’t know if that exists. That’s how I’d do accessibility in this game personally. I don’t know anything about your condition though, so really I’m just spitballing and daydreaming simultaneously.
I honestly want to play skyrim on the Switch 2, but I won’t because the input controls function so poorly and the framerate is subpar. I was excited for when we got the boost in power on the Switch 2 but Bethesda fumbled it. Hopefully they do fix Skyrim and that they launch Fallout 4 in a good state with a gold framerate.
Don’t you worry. With every new console release, you can accommodate guarantee that Skyrim will be on it at some point. It’s like Bethesda NEEDS to release it on every single platform… Sometimes multiple times.
There are a host of open source remakes of old game engines that fix bugs and update them for modern systems as well as add support for higher resolutions and widescreen aspect ratios. Here’s a few off the top of my head:
OpenMW for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. This is probably the most famous one.
OpenRA for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn, Dune 2000, and (in pre-alpha form) Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 (the latter requiring extra fiddling with Github repositories).
OpenJKDF2 for Dark Forces 2 and its standalone Mysteries of the Sith expansion.
Arx Libertatis for Arx Fatalis, though IIRC the version sold now integrates an older build of it; one without the fixes for glyph drawing - it’s worth upgrading for that alone as spellcasting is a nightmare without the fix.
Tfix, T2Fix, and the Sneaky Upgrade for Thief 1/2/3 respectively. These are mods, not wholesale engine replacements, but serve the same purpose.
These are just the ones I know of. There are probably loads more.
Edit:the Ur-Quan Masters for Star Control II. I can’t believe I forgot about this! Star Control II is one of the best and most influential games that most people have never heard about.
OpenRCT2 is 100% the definitive way to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 & 2.
But I would never recommend a new player try OpenRA. The game has stellar multiplayer support but they just can’t figure out the campaign scripting at all. Go with the remaster collection instead.
Still? I haven’t played OpenRA in several years and assumed they would have fixed it by now.
Then again Red Alert 2 is even less supported than it was the last time I checked, so I’m guessing their focus is mostly on the multiplayer side of things.
Chugging along through the Halo: Master Chief Collection.
I missed out on the series back in the day and now I’m playing through all of them. They’re great. The collection is insane value, especially since I got it on sale for like $10. 40-50 hours in and I have 1 and a half campaigns left still. Multiplayer is active and works well.
I have this very cheap “200 games in 1” devices that has a game called “Pikachu” and it’s just endless Tetris with a little dancing/cheering Pikachu frame.
