Susurrus, do games w Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries?

Personally I would like to see the whole remaster/remake trend end as soon as possible. Let’s stop selling the same games multiple times, with considerably increased price tag every time.

While some remakes are decent and make sense (e.g. Resident Evil remakes, though even they aren’t perfect), most are just plain money grabs. Remade into a third-person action adventure with RPG elements, if they weren’t already. With generic Unreal graphics, poor optimization, worse or no modding support.

Old games are great, easy to run, and can be bough for pennies. What exactly makes a remake so appealing? Better graphics? No offence to anyone, but I feel like people who care so much about graphics don’t even play games.

I think I’ll continue to ignore the new rereleases, with very rare exceptions, and keep having a blast with the originals. If game companies can’t be bothered to put in the effort and make some new, interesting titles, then I guess they’ll be making zero money from me.

I recently tried both the last beserker as well as lies of P, and I just couldn’t really get into either of them. I think maybe full blown souls games are just done for me. Death’s door was great though, I really liked that one! I never got into Tunic, but definitely have been eyeballing it for quite a while now…

The developer interviews sound neat, can’t wait!

I reaaaally tried Lies of P. I have one book I really, really adore called Drood - which is about Dickens and the setting to that beautiful and terrifying book feels pretty close to Lies of P.

But…just like Elden Ring, while I love the setting and atmosphere, the combat is just not for me! I even keep a little notebook with games I’ve played, games I want to play, etc. In that I have written very prominently to not bother trying Elden Ring again (even with mods to make it ‘easy’).

Its funny though how the vast majority of gamers are the opposite, and just can’t get enough!

And thanks! Can’t wait to share them!

BossDj,

Hyperion is insanity! Loved that series. Dan Simmons has a warped imagination

prole,

Sekiro is what did it for me in terms of Souls-like games. That’s the one that “clicked” with me, and I still consider it perhaps my favorite game of all time.

FF11 in Unreal 5 or at least DX12. 🙃 Need my Galka at maximum sexy.

SolidShake,

UE 5 sucks major dick though. Like oblivion is a cool AI generated remake and gold use of that engine. But it’s far from optimized. My frames go from 120-45 in a matter of 2 seconds in the same area.

How is the Oblivion remaster AI generated?

pulido,

I’d prefer to see it using Godot and Vulkan.

I’d love an XI remake but it’s also scary to think about because of how I know it’d completely take over my life lol.

FF7 remake is cool for a lot of reasons, but we’ve got countless reasons to support the idea that turn-based combat isn’t the barrier to playing those old games.

Baggie, do games w Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong?

So I’ve been playing Tropico 4 for a bit, and it looks pretty good. You’re always zoomed out, so you don’t need to have more than like 8 polygons for a limb.

I literally could not run cities Skylines 2 or KSP 2 at a good frame rate. Everything was modelled incredibly well and looks great, but that doesn’t mean shit if I can’t run the game. I strongly suspect that’s a big contributing factor.

In addition to this, they’re going to against their biggest competitors: the previous game. It’s literally the same game with more content, runs incredibly well by comparison, has a huge mod library, and is much cheaper to boot. Might not be as pretty, but it actually might not matter given what you’re playing.

I think there’s probably a lot of issues that contribute to this to be honest, but it feels like at it’s core it’s a fools errand to begin with.

Revolt to Discord is what BlueSky is to Twitter.

Just another continuation that can (and will) enshittify.

I’m failing to find any info on how they are funding the servers in their website.

LordKitsuna,

Well, once the service becomes large and popular we could try to find people interested in investing into the platform, then we just need to make sure it stays interesting to more and more investors over time. Should be sustainable, sounds oddly familiar tho but i definitely just made it up rn on my own

Even though I’m a huge Zachtronics Fan, I never bought Exapunks until recently. And I love it, of course. I get so much satisfaction out of improving my solutions, I often think about it outside of the game.

Quite frankly I find the idea positively revolting.

TomSelleck, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 27th

Blue Prince- I’m taking a break after getting to a certain point. It’s been great fun and the underlying message seems very timely. Gran Turismo 7- it’s my “in-between” game and I like to play the weekly challenges. Vampire Survivors- my favorite game on my phone. I was on a break but I’m back to seeing gem explosions when I close my eyes.

Does Signal not do everything people need?

AntiBullyRanger,
smeg,

You can do a call in a group chat, right?

AntiBullyRanger,

I’m unsure. I’ve only ever used Mumble, Jabber, & SimpleX.

Can’t afford rn to setup a SIP or SRTP dæmon. I even have to setup a PBX for normie related contacts.

yes, it does video or voice chat.

pfm, do zapytajszmer w (jestem amerykanką) wiem, że w polsce, mówi się po niemiecku. czy posługują się polsko-niemieckim gwarem?

Zależy co rozumiesz przez “mówić po niemiecku”. Jeśli masz na myśli rozmowy codzienne między ludźmi, to nie. Jeśli chodzi o umiejętność posługiwania się tym językiem, to tak, część ludzi zna niemiecki.

ReversalHatchery, do gaming w I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought.

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow. now I see it, but it doesn’t bother me. what bothers me is that my dell monitor is absolutely garbage on reproducing dark colors, while my much older cheap LG is very good in that. like, the black background of the terminal shows a very visible difference

ModernRisk,

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow.

I was the same as you with my old (still current) monitor but then, I bought the DELL and it was well, very notable: DELL IPS Glow (IPS Bleed?). To the point it was not a black screen anymore. It never really bothered me until, I had the DELL for a short time.

ReversalHatchery,

yeah, it seems dell is just utter garbage
