Only game I know about is victoria (only played the latest) but is not in the time area you are looking for. Economic games are pretty few and I found nothing back when I were looking.

It’s unclear if you’re imagining that power is provided along the line or if these will need to be self-powered.

If you’re looking in New England specifically then the rolling stock of MTA Metro North or CT Rail might be of interest. Assuming the protagonists will have access to a power source. I think Hartford Line CT Rail uses both third rail and overhead power, so that might make for a point of discussion about them seeking out these specific units for their more flexible powering options and voltages.

I’ll take a look at those! I was imagining overhead wires but perhaps only in/near towns as resources are constrained (with the self propelled railcar using batteries when disconnected) but they’re building towards a full line eventually. Not sure how realistic that is

Nah, I appreciated that. It’s a first look at what’s going on. It not being polished makes me trust them way more as a developer than if everything looked absolutely perfect. I’m EXTREMELY hyped

DoucheBagMcSwag,

True …it means that it’s not bullshot and it’s actually being run from a dev machine. I suppose you’re right.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

That’s my logic behind it anyway. If I see something that is supposed to be a first look but it’s HYPER polished I get really wary. Makes me think that this one section of the game was hella focused on enough for the representation but I start wondering about whether the rest of the game got the same attention. If a game demo actually has errors and bugs and fuck ups then it shows to me that they’re working on it across the board. They’re not heavily focusing on this specific demo or anything and willing to show the faults that you should see looking at a first look. I guess it just boils down to honesty for me. If the demo is hyper polished then it feels dishonest. If it’s rough around the edges then it feels more real and genuine.

Besides, these are the same people who made the Hitman series for decades and the WOA trilogy which is a powerhouse of gaming for me. Taking on my #2 hyperfixation, right behind Star Trek? They’re probably the only dev that I instantly trusted to do a good job or at least try their best.

Bloodlines 2 should be in the crew as well, though it is also actually coming out now.

I would imagine the little maintenance cars would thrive in that environment. thevintagenews.com/…/speeder-motorized-vehicle-fo… I don’t know the world background, but if it’s rebuilding after some catastrophic event, the might be some car modifications to make them rail ready, stealing the wheels off of larger defunct trains.

I haven’t played E:D since before Odyssey released. I lost interest when they stopped supporting VR for the new content.

I did get a Fleet Carrier though. I wonder if it’s still there or if I ran out of upkeep money.

Good game, shame it’s a live service though. It will probably just die if/when they turn off the servers.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure what you’re talking about when it comes to VR. They never stopped supporting VR… Like at all. Odyssey also has full VR support and has since launch. I am genuinely confused as to why you think that

drspod,

The new on-foot FPS gameplay that they added with Odyssey didn’t get first class VR support. You can keep your headset on, but you have to switch to a regular control method and control the game as though it’s on a 2D monitor even though you’re wearing a 6DOF headset with motion controls available. For anyone that’s played VR, this is the worst kind of experience and very disappointing.

Making first-class VR controls is a lot of extra work, probably, but for a game that was sold as a flagship VR title when the original Oculus came out, it just leaves a bad taste for all the VR players, who felt like FDev were leaving them behind.

Maybe they’ve added better support now, but I wouldn’t know about that as I haven’t played it. On release it was a disappointment for VR players.

Have to switch to a regular control method

Does the rest of the game support full motion controls now? It didn’t the last time I played, so it didn’t matter if you were in ship or on foot; you were doing everything with a normal controller, M&KB or joystick setup regardless. It always annoyed me because why can’t I just use my hands to move the throttle stick and steering column in-game?

drspod,

That’s a fair point. I used a HOTAS, the Logitech Saitek X52 which the in-game ship controls are modelled after, which was the most immersive way to play.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I’m still pissed that I attempted to buy that setup from Amazon like 3 times, and they would ship it but then cancel the order and refund me without explanation. I want one of those so damn bad 😭

beneeney,

Yeah, I also used to play E:D a lot until Odyssey dropped. VR+HOTAS was an amazing experience despite the grindy nature of the game. I enjoyed every second of it - but wow Odyssey really threw it out the window.

I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky a lot lately and it’s super fun, but it makes me want to try E:D again. I don’t have VR anymore, but I wonder if it would be good with head-tracking. I also feel like I’ve missed out on so much of the ongoing story the past few years.

Steam seems to be down right now and PS doesn’t let you buy the game. The number of people wanting to buy the game right this moment must be unimaginably high

Might catch flak for this, but Starfield.
I just wanted something mindless where I could mix FPS with base building and RPG elements. I know there’s Fallout 4, but I want my bases looking nice. Starfield isn’t exactly the best for looks either, but it’s the best I have in my library for these aforementioned things. I’m open to suggestions, but until then I’m just going to randomly kill things on Starfield.

Vodulas,

If you don’t mind third person view, Dune Awakening has good base building. It is more survival than FPS, but I quite like it.

arxaseus,

I’ll check out some gameplay footage of it later today. Thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers!
