ConstableJelly, do gaming w Soulframe is Elden Ring meets Ghost of Tsushima, but with 'Disney princesses' - PCGamesN

Cozy f2p MMO with Disney princess vibes is a mix of Elden Ring and Ghost of Tsushima? This equation does not compute.

Gameplay demo looks fine…but the encounters looked a little manufactured to give the appearance of elden-ring-like combat, when I would wager it’s going to be much more hack n slashy in reality.

sandriver,

Cozy Soulslike is a great concept honestly. I loved the first Dark Souls because it mostly facilitated slow and tactical combat. Favourite build was a pyromancer with a high stability shield. Tweak the numbers to add more tolerance to errors (like the boss demonstration showed) and you do get a much more relaxed Soulslike.

I’m pretty sure the only reason those two games are mentioned in the headline is to boost the article’s SEO

ConstableJelly,

Eh, the interviewer and developer make explicit references to both in the article.

beebarfbadger, do games w Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions

Corporations want gamers to want mass subscriptions because they want to rent out their games forever instead of getting only a single payment for their product. And then they find flimsy excuses to push subscriptions for products that do not warrant subscriptions but are mutilated to squeeze some way of adding subscriptions into them. And then the corporations let games without subscriptions fail while pretending that subscription-based services are delivered because there’s demand and not because they don’t want to deliver finished products that don’t generate easy endless trickling revenue streams.

Eggyhead, do gaming w Valve updates Steam store to bring PlayStation DualSense support
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

I've had playstations for multiple console generations, but I just ordered an OLED Deck as my first ever "gaming PC". Forgive the naivety, but could non-supported titles potentially get Dualsense features modded in?

maniel,

Yeah, that’s what steam input did, it emulates a controller on the fly, you can even emulate a keyboard and mouse in games that don’t support controllers, I have a steam controller and in most fps I configured it to emulate a controller but with mouse look on the right touch pad and gyroscope on a light press on left trigger, unfortunately some games don’t support simultaneous mouse and controller use, other games change UI when switching between mouse and controller, which may be annoying

LyD,

Do you mean features like the haptic triggers?

Eggyhead,
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, haptic triggers, high definition rumble, touch pad... things like that.

LyD,

Touchpad always works, but the haptic triggers and rumble need you to be wired. They also only work in supported games like Spiderman. I remember needing to go into desktop mode to enable the controller’s “speaker” for the rumble.

prole,

Adaptive triggers begin as a hardware feature. Steam Deck can’t emulate that without changing the triggers out completely (if it’s possible at all).

I imagine the internal motors for the crazy precise haptic feedback is also hardware level.

TheWildTangler,

Steam Input will allow you to use a PS controller with any game (even ones that aren’t made for a controller!)

However, if you mean adaptive triggers, haptic, etc. Then this page is what you want. It’s a list of games with either native or modded support

Huge asterisk on any game, many don’t work for me with an original Sony branded DS5, I end up having to use DSX way more than I would like.

Yea, I forgot the name too, that's why I didn't name it. xD

zpoex, do games w Meta Quest 3 demand allegedly 5 million units below expected level
@zpoex@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lol what did they even expect… Their VR team has to be dysfunctional in some way. Like my quest2 somehow got worse after a new upgrade. They added these stupid ass cartoon arms (which cannot be disabled!!) and also your headset is used as a controller after your controllers idle for 5 minutes, which became a huge pain in the ass when watching movies. (Also can’t be disabled btw)

Idc about all that Facebook shit (although it’ll be way nicer to not have it), but everything about the quest except the hardware is just so fucking stupid. I have way higher expectation on Apple’s device… Say what you want about them, but they don’t have braindead product design (most of the time hehe)

Molecular0079,

Omg I thought I was the only one who hated the arms. Nothing worse than putting down your controllers on the table and then having those stupid arms spaz out around your screen as it tries to resolve how your hand could possibly be in that position.

I totally agree. Each firmware upgrade has just made my Quest 2 worse and worse.

zpoex,
@zpoex@sh.itjust.works avatar

Haha it seems like a common complaint on Reddit at least. The virtual environment stuff in Oculus is such a shitshow lmao

Anticorp,

And you can’t reject an update. They won’t even let you use your headset if there’s an update available. I haven’t used mine in months because every time I try to use it the battery is dead, then once I get it charged it needs an update, and by the time that’s done I don’t have any time left.

zpoex,
@zpoex@sh.itjust.works avatar

Hahahah fr… Like all I want is to play some simple games (eleven vr for example) and watch movies. Why tf you gotta add all these extra bs. But I guess that’s just them as a company. Rift S is so much easier to use

HidingCat,

Lolwut, cartoon arms? This I gotta see. xD Gonna trawl YouTube for examples.

miss_brainfart, (edited ) do games w Your Minecraft account might be gone forever unless you act now
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

I migrated my account ages ago, and I keep getting emails telling me to migrate anyway. These messages are sent to the Microsoft address I migrated to.

I contacted support, and they told me everything’s fine, my account is properly migrated, and that I should ignore these messages, since they’re probably attempts at phishing. (That look 100% legit, might I add. Nothing about these messages looks alarming or wrong in any way, which is what made me contact support in the first place.)

That microsoft account of mine never received any questionable messages before, so thanks for leaking my data to malicious actors, I guess.

jopepa, do games w Starfield user score drops to "mostly positive" on steam

Does this mean they get no bonuses and obsidian gets a turn again?

InfiniWheel, do gaming w Starfield remake created in two days actually lets you fly seamlessly from space to the surface

I’m no gaming expert or Bethesda fanboy, but didn’t someone the other day confirm that there is actual space travel in the game, it just takes days to get to another planet?

WarmSoda,

The engine works by having square areas of playable in-game sections called cells. Unless the devs created enough cells between planets, and have them in the same world space, for a player to travel in that’s not possible.

emptyother,
@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

I am curious and exited to hear what tricks they have used.

Theres nothing in the engine reqiring to fill every cell between two cells. Might as well be empty space, or cells with random generated terrain.

Also how are they doing the ship interior cell? Loading a cell without removing the old? Why aren’t they using the same thing for interior windows in houses then?

Quentinp,
@Quentinp@lemmy.ca avatar

They do for some, I think it’s to avoid unwanted AI interactions if something happens inside the house.

Gork,

That sounds exactly like the old Morrowind loading system. It was relatively seamless at the time for traveling about outdoors, sans the mini loading between these cells. It used to take a few seconds back in the day it was released but with modern SSDs it takes a fraction of a second.

Oblivion and Skyrim made this for the most part invisible. But loading times for indoor transitions still existed.

emptyother,
@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

No, just that there are no invisible walls. After 7 hours of flying, she reached a paper-cutout of the planet.

WarmSoda,

I see. In that case I fully expect someone to make a ‘open cities’ mod for systems. If you can reach the billboards it should be possible to create a transition to planet space. Maybe.

KiofKi,
@KiofKi@feddit.de avatar

But then we’d need something for faster flight inside a system. Like E:D does for example. I Won’t spend 7hrs traveling from planet to planet just for the immersion :D

LoamImprovement,

Well you can already fast travel between planets. I’d be okay with the happy medium of intersystem travel if it meant I could actually land on a planet. The problem is the way Bethesda has set it up, the planets themselves aren’t real, there’s just a handful of zones around POIs.

giloronfoo,

Starfield as a mod for Kerbal Space Program.

TheChurn,

You can fly in space towards the planets you can see. When you get there, you won't be able to land and will be able to fly straight through the planet itself.

Planets outside of the fast travel menu aren't really planets

comicallycluttered,

Lol, that’s actually fucking hilarious.

CaptainEffort,

Most games’ mods are restricted to reshades and trainers. A game having a thriving modding scene, like Skyrim, is actually pretty rare. So Baldurs Gate having a mod that adds tons of races is pretty cool, and potentially a good sign of things to come.

WarmSoda,

Between this site and Steam Workshop mods are not restricted to reshades and trainers.

CaptainEffort,

I’m literally a premium member of that website, and have been modding for over a decade. Yes, they usually are.

WarmSoda,

LMAO ok guy

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Its true, you need an API or source code to delve deeper usually.

WarmSoda,

I’ve been modding since Doom in the 90s. Idk what games you’re playing, but almost all the games I’ve ever played on PC have mods. But whatever.
