Slice & Dice, which is on Steam, Android, iOS, DRM-free PC download, and probably more.

Hello good sir, How does one play Porsche unleashed on PC these days? Would you have any hints please?

eru777,

There’s several videos on getting it to run on windows 10 on youtube, however I think the best way to play NFS Porsche is on an old computer. And a CRT monitor.

I liked this game but the combat really killed it for me. The enemies just move too quickly and in a game about conserving ammo it was way too hard to reliably hit them.

otacon239,

Yep. I think if they didn’t respawn or respawned way less I might have really enjoyed that game.

Psycho Shock is one of my all time favourite games!

Factorio, osrs, rimworld.

I tried playing games like Tony hawk pro skater or racing games, but every time I’d turn I’d lose my balance and almost fall off the treadmill. So anything i could play had to be slow placed or not have a 3d camera.

This game is one of my all time favorites! The game engine is cool, love the story and it’s all its twists, and especially all the small hidden pieces of background info, like the alternate history you pointed out!

It also has some great puzzles and secrets hidden in areas that are interesting to explore every nook and cranny of. I feel rather clever for noticing things like “huh, this is a window, but this game has something called a ‘looking glass’… I wonder…”. And the verticality of a lot of these maps is so fun, giving you the possibility to approach enemies and puzzles the way you prefer (just like the Dishonored franchise, which I can greatly recommend to anyone reading this!).

I wish you a great time with it!

Loved Prey. Great to see some recognition for it in the wild.

Got it on sale semi-recently but haven’t gotten around to playing it yet. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it, I’ve only heard good things.

love Prey. it’s such an underrated gem of a game.

it had a lot of backtracking which was annoying

…but very immersive on the treadmill no? LOL

…I‘ll show myself out

Are we already talking about next gen leaks? Damn, this generation passed by and I barely noticed it.

tane69,

That’s because there are barely any fucking games this gen it feels like

What are you talking about? There’s a new remake or remaster every other day!

@chewables@piefed.social avatar

if you're not really there for it then sure, but i got a ps5 for ff7 remake, kh3 and ff16 and i personally think I got my money's worth. loved every goddamn second.

it helped that I got p5r and expedition 33 as well, what a beaut of a bonus they were

vividspecter,

They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don’t think exclusives are a good thing anyway.

dormedas,

FF7 Remake, Rebirth and FF16 were timed exclusives, though both have since left and Square Enix said “never again, it wasn’t profitable enough.”

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

Yeah, I've been watching from the sidelines and still haven't seen anything that moves the needle sufficiently.

Where are the games?!

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They all take seven years to make, so there aren’t as many of them.

llii,

Yeah. The PS2 got three GTAs, GTA V got three consoles.

zaphod,

I take this as a comparison sometimes. Also the PS2 got five GTAs, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were released on PS2 too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 got two GTAs, and everything after got remasters. PS5 will probably get GTA 6, so GTA skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation.

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

Unfortunately they're not significantly more fun despite that.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

There have been some great games with development times that long. But for crying out loud, if you’re not making a surefire success, make a smaller game so it’s less risky.

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

There have been some great games with development times that long.

Can you name some? I don't mean to be derisive, I just literally can't think of any right now.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’m playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II right now, and it’s excellent. Baldur’s Gate 3 took 6 years, though they attribute a good portion of that to an Eastern European war and a pandemic. Given other side projects, it’s a bit nebulous exactly how long Indiana Jones and Great Circle took that team to make, but it was somewhere between 5 and 7 years, and I loved it. I’m not exactly a fan of Nintendo lately, but people sure do love Donkey Kong Bananza, and that team had been working on that game more or less since Mario Odyssey’s release in 2017.

Mad__vegan,

My psvr2 backlog would like a word with you…

tane69,

My god he does exist

JigglySackles,

I wanted to get a psvr2 to use on my pc.

Mad__vegan,

I hear amazing things but wife says I already play enough lol

They just ported all the PS4 games and slap PS5 on them. I bought a PS5 and not single game I have on it you can’t also buy a 4 version. Except for Dead Island 2, and it was meh. I have not used my PS5 in over a year it just collects dust. With PC games I get all I need and more. But I have looked at new games for it and not impressed with the lineup.

tane69,

It really does feel like this. And most of the new “ps5” games they also make for 4! Off the top of my head I can think of demons souls, ff16, ff7r part 2, and death stranding 2 were ps5 only and 3 of those are only timed exclusives

Stovetop,

I don’t think that’s a bad thing, though. It’s not like I’d be bothered if someone with a GPU 5 years older than mine is able to play the same game on PC.

This is what consoles just should be. No longer locking games to specific generations, letting newer hardware run older titles better, and letting developers continue developing for lower hardware targets to include more people.

telllos,

Yeah, my ps5 is a netflix machine, and my son plays apex on it. I barely bought any games.

Squiddork,

Oh shit PS5 has no games?

Fredselfish,
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

Well they do just very few, and the ones they have inclusive aren’t all that great.

AdamBomb,

So many resources wasted on live service projects that got canceled or flopped, that’s why

Become a PC gamer and you don’t experience “generations” anymore.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

I am. I grew up with the PS1 and I really liked the simplicity, ease of use, affordability and reliability of older gens, but the newer ones seem to have all the cons of consoles and none of the benefits.

EvilEdgelord,
@EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works avatar

I grew up with cartridges, so this is hilarious to me. With PS1, you had to put in a disc, close the lid, press the power button, wait for the logo startup sequence, then your game would start (assuming there’s not some kind of problem that kicks you back to the disc/memory card screen). Don’t even get me started on disc damage 😂

Now I’m a PC gamer with a humongous digital collection. Nothing gets damaged, and I get to keep all my games.

One double-click, and I’m gaming.

JigglySackles,

So long as gaben is there at least. I hate to think how badly valve will fall once he’s no longer there.

troed,
@troed@fedia.io avatar

Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony's horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I've just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that's going to be our couchgaming from now on.

No PS6.

AdamBomb,

The disappointment of the PS5 plus the surprise of the Steam Deck turned me, personally

zaphod,

Same. At least for me part of the problem is that I got a PS5 two years after release because I couldn’t get one, I’m not going to pay scalpers.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Part of the “problem” is that the current gen launched basically at the height of COVID. People were distracted when it came out and studios took a huge productivity hit at a time when they would be pushing to get those games out.

But it is coming up on 5 years and console generations tend to be 6-8 years if memory serves. Considering how much work goes into prepping the hardware, it makes sense to see “leaks” now for what will likely hit shelves in the fall of 2027 or 2028.

But I think the bigger issue is that we kind of all know these are “just” computers and most games are multiplatform. Combine that with backwards compatibility and there really aren’t that many distinguishing games of a generation. Which is why it is a common refrain that this is probably the last “console generation” with the future being closer to PCs where you just have new hardware every few years and upgrade when a game you want needs it or you get bored.

@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

If this is true I’m definitely out. I am barely playing anything technically demanding on the hardware. Mostly older or indie games. The Steam Deck has proven that handheld PC couch gaming is more than enough for me.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even had to buy the PS5. It just catches dust and unlike the PS4 I didn’t get anything like Bloodborne aka something I could pump countless hundreds of hours in to justify buying it.

ieatpwns, do games w PlayStation 6 Console And New PS6 Handheld ‘Canis’ Specs Leak, It’s Claimed - Insider Gaming

Ps5 has the same amount of games as switch 2

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see how this thing possibly competes with a handheld PC. It’ll play the same games approximately just as well but with a tiny fraction of the library, and unless something changes, online play won’t even be free.

simple,
@simple@piefed.social avatar

The Vita had a shared library system where if you get the handheld version for free if you owned the PS4 version of games. I imagine they could do something similar to keep playstation users interested

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

That’s surely what they’re planning, especially since the architecture won’t be very different this time around, but that still pales in comparison to the value you’d get from a PC handheld for what will likely be an extremely similar price.

dormedas,

The handheld PC and things like SteamOS have crossed the moat that console games used to have as a defense. The PC is coming to the living room, attaching to your TV, and playing games controller-first. The question will be how well will those games play and will they be exclusive.

The other defense, exclusive games, consoles themselves have given up. PlayStation has been publishing to PC to make up revenues thinking that it’s safe because it’s not their competitor Xbox, and Xbox bet on gamepass (and has now lost the console almost entirely, hoping to make its money back via Windows licensure).

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think the Windows license factors into the math much at all, but otherwise agreed.

Nikls94, do games w PlayStation 6 Console And New PS6 Handheld ‘Canis’ Specs Leak, It’s Claimed - Insider Gaming

I got the PS5 for my GF to play Hogwarts Legacy. I myself have played AstroBot, FF7, FF16 and Expedition33.

I use the controller on my Mac playing PS1 and PS2 games though. That controller has seen more PS2 games than PS5 games lol
