Oryx at the end of the Destiny Taken King expansion. Walking down this dark passageway and his symbol appears in light in front of you and the door opens to reveal him. So epic!
Sounds like something that wouldn’t be too hard to do, given that Plex (and others like it) exists. The difference is, Plex is streaming.
So with a good network, you can just send the game and do the emulation client side, and sync the save and other data back to the server. With a powerful enough host, you can handle the emulation on the host machine and just stream the video, with the client streaming the controls back, but this wouldn’t be good for a lot of games (too much latency). Same issue as GeForce NOW. Good if you’re near their CDN; otherwise, useless.
Look into Moonlight… or GeForce Now (and Google Stadia for the five minutes before Google realized it was a good product and killed it). Game streaming is more than solved. The issue is more just having “a powerful enough host” than anything else.
And, in hindsight, it really makes a lot of sense. The vast majority of the cost is video streaming and… youtube and twitch exist. Hell, the entire white collar world ran on video teleconferencing for a year. All that is left is sending what amounts to text back and forth since controller inputs aren’t actually that complex.
Yeah I lowered the difficulty on some occasions during the game, the Rat King was one of them. The difficulty spikes were pretty rough, I wonder if this was intentional.
I also had fun discovering the tabletop game. I enjoyed looking at other people’s homes in general.
I’d like to submit my two favorite buddies from AC games for consideration.
Rusty from Armoured Core VI, especially the final fight against him in Breach The Karman Line. With that backdrop and his sweet ass AC sliding to a stop while you can hear the pure venom in his voice “Here we are… buddy…” as Steel Haze starts playing.
And then we have Ace Combat Zero, having just prevented the V2 launch, flying back to base when your wingman gets one shot by a fucking laser, and you see your former wingman, Pixy, in a hitherto unseen aircraft and hear the flamenco accompanied by that voice: “So, have you found a reason to fight yet… Buddy?”.
Similar themes across both, and both are absolutely iconic.
Both fantastic but special props to Ace Combat Zero for giving the PC one of the most bad ass titles in gaming and then giving you awesome dogfights that double down on earning the title Demon Lord of the Round Table
Maybe it’s just the nostalgia of it, but the flying through the tunnel while andross monologues at you, then the tunnel ends and this evil dude, who you’ve never seen as anything but a disembodied face, he just appears as a disembodied face for starfox 64 was fantastic. inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=BSUW2Rsej7I
Spoiler for the forest:
spoilerThe little girl, with everything in the game building up the tension and discovering just what the hell is going on… and then you slowly walk up behind her and she looks at you, giggles, and explodes
The Clovis monologue in the Destiny 2 Deep Stone Crypt. Its not really an intro to a fight and more like the mastermind behind the situation introducing itself halfway through the raid. So doesnt quite fit this post but i loved it so much so im sharing it anyways.
Tap for spoilerI’d argue the entire game is the boss intro. And IIRC, the lore behind Gwyn is pretty deep too. You fight all these big baddies, and when you get to Gwyn, he’s relatively pretty weak. I remember being very fascinated by all the dark souls lore and his was particularly interesting. I vaguely remember that after killing him, you have the choice of keeping the flame alive or leaving and breaking the cycle?
Try, github.com/utkarshdalal/GameNative . Unlike steam link gamesnative let’s you download and play steam games natively on android. I dont know how good it works on handhelds though. Haven’t used it much myself.
