Do you have any local multiplayer racing game recommendations? That’s basically my only use case for a racing game, but most of that market dried up. I’ve got my eyes on a few, but I’m curious what you’ve found, especially if it’s on GOG.
I’m sorry, that’s not really my scene! I haven’t ever played any PC racing games locally (which makes me seem rather sad, doesn’t it?)
I can recommend Mario Kart 8, emulated, for this though! Which might or might not be something you’d consider. Friends and I often play this through my Steam Deck or PC!
Nah, that doesn’t make it sad. It’s just that some of my best memories of racing games come from the likes of Burnout Revenge or F-Zero GX in local multiplayer. Single player is cool. Online is cool. I’m just looking for that local multiplayer fix.
One of the other games that fit that bill is Star Wars: Episode One - Racer, which you can find on GOG. At least on Linux, it requires some mods to fix it, which I made sure were documented on the PC Gaming Wiki, but you can play that one on LAN on PC through the GOG version. I don’t think split-screen on PC games was something they were thinking about back then, but LAN will do in the meantime.
I just hope the little, fun and interesting things I love to share keep on being interesting to others! And its nice to be here, I was very sad to leave Reddit towards the end of last year, and the Steam Deck community I built up there. Nice to see an alternative like this exists here (with nicer folk, so far!)
I got the 3060, and returned it for the 3070. Upgraded from a 1070, a 10 year old card. But the 3060 performance wasn’t there, and for $100 more I stayed in the xx70 lane. Needed the 3070 for 1440p monitors, the 3060 was good at 1080p but choked on 1440p. Was worth the upgrade for me, was my Christmas present to myself after 10 years of my old equipment.
im going to go amd next time. i dont see it as a time to upgrade though, i stull use 1080p monitors with 180hz. to mee that’s better than 1440 at 60hz [similar prices]
Depends on your hardware. I ran the benchmark tool for a laugh. I don’t think I quite meet minimum spec, but not far off I think. If you’re down that end, I’d avoid it.
i am WELL abover recommended soec by a long shot. They should maybe reconsider those specs since not everyone wants to use fram gen and lower resolutiona in 2025.
On high end hardware the game runs fine, not good but okish. On console they use FSR1 at a really low resolution, making everything look really blurry. On PC at least FSR3 is available for lower end hardware but don’t expect too much if you don’t have a Nvidia 4000+ or AMD 6000+ series card.
Digital Foundry has performance videos for console and PC up already.
I have a 3060 12gb OC edition, Ryzen 7 5800x3D, 32gb ram at 4200, and installed on an m.2 SSD.
And I should expect much as the medium settings requirement is nvidia 2000 series… And DLSS also makes the game look like a shit sandwich even on quality.

Correct, I’m on a 7900 XTX and was able to get the best experience on Ultra by using FSR only for anti aliasing (native resolution) and turning on FSR frame generation. There are still artifacts but they are not nearly as bad as with upscaling.
Without frame gen I hover at around 60, good enough for controller but a pain with mouse.
Still, your 3060 is most likely going to output a clearer image than what your PS5 can do with FSR1. Did you give the benchmark on PC a go?
Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny, capcom said this was the case and is why we got 2 more betas hehe. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )
Playing on ultra on r7 7700 and 6750 ( 12GB ), 1080p and its running 43-60fps. They also released a high res texture pack but its recommended to only use with min 16GB of vram ( free dlc ) which i havent tested yet.
So try the benchmark and see. I think the medium settings should be fine
I only have 12gb of vram. I would be fine if the game ran on high with DLSS OFF and native 1080p at 60-80fps. But it just doesn’t, even though my PC should have 0 issues according to their spec requirements. I’ll wait for patches and sales I think. Or maybe a demo is a ailable? I haven’t looked.
i tried the benchmark today. medium settings, native res i get 50fps average… im not playing this for a while lol. that’s insane for what is recommended vs what i have for specs. medium should be at least 80fps on my computer.
It’s a new game. Unfortunately I think we are now in an era where we can expect new games to run like shit on release, and be improved over the first year.
Yeah I tried the beta of wilds on steamdeck and I got 1 frame of game and nothing more haha, after rise being playable on switch and how amazed I was by world on pc it feels like a big miss this time. Hopefully it gets better quickly.
How about the game though? How does it feel compared to the last 2? Interesting mechanics?
Yeah I plan on buying PS5 probably if I do because I expect it to be more optimized for consoles at first. Hmm maybe I’ll sit on this one for a while, maybe wait for a sale or something.
It’s crazy to me that the games in this collection are so good!
I rarely see people talking about Mini and Max. I think most people aren’t sticking with it very long. The game is much, much bigger than it looks. There is a ton of adventure to have there. There’s an old man in a pot to the west that is especially important to meet.
Nie wiem jak to dokładnie wygląda cenowo, ale HMD współpracuje z iFixit jeśli chodzi o samodzielne naprawy/wymiany baterii i tym podobne. Jeśli chodzi o zdejmowane plecki i wymienną baterię jak kiedyś to może być ciężko.
www.gsmarena.com jest fajne do porównywania/zestawień, ale niestety z tego co widzę nie mają opcji wyszukiwania po wyjmowanej baterii… Ja od stycznia (dziękuję inpost) czekam aż dojdzie mój FLX1, który ma wymienne baterie, ale to znacznie droższa zabawa.
Almost every game is fun, and there are some that are amazing. Valbrace has fully captured me currently, probably due to my love of the old Wizardry series. Avianos is brilliant too, I’d like to go back for the cherry on that one.
Yes, Wizardry is a very old school rpg. Both that and Valbrace are “explore the dungeon in first person and you’d better be mapping them if you don’t want to be hopelessly lost” style games. I find the mapping to be very satisfying but I’m probably an anomaly because all games have auto maps and objective markers these days.
