Bonesince1997, do games w Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console

I came across something interesting with a FireTV stick. It’s got Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service on it. It looks like it really wants to push Luna+, a paid subscription tier. However, they also have connections to several other gaming services, which supply games you can play outside of the sub. Most don’t seem to supply many games (EA, Epic, Ubisoft). But GOG on the other hand supports many Luna games! I’m not even sure how many. It’s probably not a ton, but still. My personal collection with GOG is only represented by a fraction that are actually playable on Luna. A bunch of games I’ve gotten free, too, since Prime Gaming has provided them for being an Amazon Prime member, along with helpful community members pointing these things out when they come around! GOG also does a pretty good job of displaying which games have Luna capability on their site. They seem to be leaning in on this.

For shits and giggles, I ran the Steam and Xbox apps also on the FireTV stick. I only gave it a limited run, but it looks like you’ll need to keep your computer running to mirror Steam, while Xbox requires Game Pass to play games, even ones you own! Big thumbs up at least for the ease of Luna!!

Nintendo is pretty much invincible lol.

It's a bit surprising given all the options available for the hand held market now.

But ... oh well.

It’s sad that so many people are willing to buy new devices with lithium ion batteries in them when much of the cobalt used in the production of them is mined via slave labor in Congo. I’m sorry but open world Mario kart and higher fps in your games isn’t worth slavery.

Paradachshund, do gaming w Pokemon GO Adds Brand New Community Feature, But Not Everyone Is Happy

This article is really badly written…

saigot, do gaming w Pokemon GO Adds Brand New Community Feature, But Not Everyone Is Happy

I think if the vetting process to set these up is good enough then it will be hardly used, or maybe used by businesses to drum up business.

If the vetting process isn’t good then a pedo will set one up in an alley

etchinghillside, do games w Pokemon GO Adds Brand New Community Feature, But Not Everyone Is Happy

These Community Camps are special spots that have extra PokeStops and Gyms. But what’s the catch? Well, they are designed to bring local players together.

The feature is part of the Community Ambassador Program, which means there will only be certain players who can create these Campsites. You must apply and eventually get accepted as an Ambassador. There are perks for those who are accepted, you get stuff like free items and support from the game’s team. However, some of the players are saying that it’s hard to get approved, and they are still on the waiting list.

Some trainers seem to be happy with it, they think it would help in making the game more social. While some aren’t really excited for it, they think the developers are trying to “force them to be extroverts.”

Tl;dr

Extroverts: This is awesome

Introverts: This sucks

Everyone: Where approval?

Plebcouncilman, do games w Elden Ring: Nightreign Shows Off A New Powerful Executor Class

This game looks cool but I’m gonna wait it out for a year on the gamble that it will come to Gamepass.

WaitThisIsntReddit,

Probably a good move. Variety seems low.

Plebcouncilman,

I basically play every game a year late nowadays. When I don’t I almost always regret it because they tend to announce DLCs or expansions just as soon as I’m finished with the game and I don’t replay games (hardly have enough time to play through them once as it it)

Interesting. My copy of Half Life from 1998 never got an upgrade for new hardware 😞

Ulrich,

Oh, which hardware was this upgraded for?

BombOmOm,
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Works perfectly fine on my machine I bought over two decades after the game came out, looks significantly better than when the game came out too. Not sure how much more upgradability you could possibly want.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Didn’t answer my question.

catloaf,

Steam Deck, for one.

Ulrich, (edited )
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Weird, considering it came out several years after Steam Deck and it works just fine on my desktop PC…

catloaf,

And the games in the article would have worked just fine on the Switch 2 as well.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

I mean that makes sense, considering they’re Nintendo games and it’s a Nintendo console.

If you try reading those patch notes they'll tell you exactly what kinds of modern hardware some of these changes are targeted at:

  • Steam Deck optimizations
  • Improved controller support
  • Default gamma reduced since you're probably not playing on a CRT anymore, and resolution no longer defaults to 640x480
  • Ultrawide FOV support for ultrawide monitors
  • Lowest quality settings removed since no one is running hardware that weak anymore
  • Software renderer fixed on hardware that doesn't support 16-bit color

Let’s also not forget the well made black mesa

catloaf,

I didn’t forget it, but it’s not strictly an update.

Odyssey and Pokemon are the only two big gimmies here, the others are just …who cares… captain toad…? ARMS?

@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

Finally the uber-demanding Captain Toad will be unshackled from the pitiful Switch and be on a powerful enough platform that can properly run this epic isometric puzzle game /s

smeg,

It runs fine on my WiiU!
