HelixTitan, do gaming w Larian says it’s discussing potential Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC | VGC

They absolutely should! Make an expansion, 2 acts, increase party size to 6 for expansion campaign and DnD mode. Charge 40 bucks and call it Baldur’s Gate 3: Descent into the Underworld or something and bam, you sell hot cakes again.

Todd Howard wants Elder Scrolls 6 to be ‘the ultimate fantasy-world simulator’

Says the scared developer after Baldur’s gate 3 success.

Templa,

Did he make any comment regarding BG3? I haven’t seen it.

tamlyn, do gaming w Xbox boss would ‘love to find solutions’ so games aren’t lost when the 360 store closes | VGC
@tamlyn@lemmy.zip avatar

The server stay online for downloading game. I don’t really get it. If you close only the store, but keep the server for downloading online, do they safe like that so much money?

hedgehog,

If they have dedicated servers per region that handle payment processing, and they would need to be upgraded in order to be compatible with currently supported OSes, yes. Or if just maintenance costs for keeping them online are high enough.

Or if they have to pay an annual fee to continue selling (but not distributing) the games.

Or if the annual base costs for the payment provider exceed their revenue.

Well he’s not going to say " oh yeah, wait a year or two to buy our hardware for way less" now, is he?

cheeseburger, do gaming w Denuvo security is now on Switch, including new tech to block PC Switch emulation
@cheeseburger@lemmy.ca avatar

Is this some hardware they’re activating or software that’s going to hurt already struggling performance?

Dalinar,

Software probably, it already hurts performance on PC versions.

ipkpjersi,

It will hurt performance, yeah. DRM is evil.

Cannibal_MoshpitV3, do games w Larian working on mid-game Baldur’s Gate 3 character customisation

For role play purposes we could add scars and stuff after particularly nasty fights, or maybe face paint/tattoos if your backstory imaginations involve tribalism and body art trophies.

Maybe if Larian feels like it they can have different npcs react if your character changed since they last spoke to you, like suddenly vibrant blue hair is now red

simple, do games w A new fan-made port of Wipeout can be played in a web browser

What I’d do for a Wipeout Omega Collection PC port…

This is super cool, though

ABCDE,

How do you actually play it without smashing into the walls?

@artillect@kbin.social avatar

You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners

DarkThoughts,

Never got used to the handling of the ships in Wipeout as a kid. Enjoyed F-Zero X a lot more. Didn't really care for the combat aspects either.

I wish there was a good anti gravity racer for the PC with extensive ship customization and lots of unlockables though (as in playing to unlock, not paying). There's pretty much just small indie titles and most of them aren't even particularly good.

The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

DarkThoughts,

Can't get any closer to Wipeout than that.

Redout feels more like F-Zero imo. GRiP isn't anti gravity racer. Maybe more comparable to Extreme G. Reminds me of my old RC car though.

DarkThoughts,

It's not Wipeout, but BallisticNG might still be interesting for you.

wryan,

Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!

simple,

I’ve been aware of it for a while but never got around to playing it, thanks for the reminder!

AndrasKrigare, do gaming w Hideki Kamiya thinks Japan should be proud of ‘JRPG’ and wants to use ‘J-Action’

I think it’s generally agreed that pretty much all our genre naming conventions are bad and alternatives exist. youtu.be/uepAJ-rqJKA has a pretty good description of an alternative, where you describe games by their core reason for play as opposed to mechanics or camera perspective

NuPNuA,

Lots of hobbies or industries have terms that are a bit off but accepted by everyone in the know as institutional knowledge. It’s no surprise gaming is the same and it’s unlikely to change 50 odd years in.

MutatedBass,

Interesting watch, thanks for sharing.

thejml, do gaming w Sources: Nintendo targets 2024 with next-gen console | VGC

I don’t care as long as it’s a decent resolution LCD.

Honestly comparing switch game storage with PS5 storage seems off. They’re completely different beasts with games that aren’t nearly as big or as detailed. If I can upgrade it like the current switch with a microSD or with a nVME like the PS5, it’d all the better.

TheRoarer, do gaming w Sources: Ubisoft has cancelled its Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel

The game was better than it had any right to be, and it really deserved to be a franchise.

I had such a blast with it save for that last island.

OutlierBlue, do gaming w Hit deck-builder Balatro is now available for mobile [VGC]

Yikes, kinda expensive on mobile. I already repackaged it from my Steam copy and side-loaded it on to my phone so I’ll stick with that. It would be nice if I could keep my progress from one to the other though.

chloyster,

I continue to be a little perplexed by views like this. If the game is $15 on steam, why is $10 on mobile viewed as expensive?

I understand that mobile games typically are cheaper or freemium, but I feel mobile games would be higher quality overall if people actually wanted to spend money on them

OutlierBlue,

Because I already bought the game. Why should I have to pay more based on where I play it? That’s ridiculous. If I buy it, I should be able to play it how and where I want.

chloyster,

I mean that’s fine. Like you said you can continue to use your version that uses the steam files, that’s the version you paid for. But the game sold on another store is cheaper than the other. I don’t think that makes the game too expensive

Edit:

Also as far as I can tell from this, save transfer is supported on the side loaded version github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

toxicbubble420,

seems fair to me, same price as Slay the Spire without the famous steam sales

@Virkkunen@fedia.io avatar

Isn't the mobile version 1:1 with the desktop? If so, how is this "kinda expensive" if it's the same product that's considered cheap?

UndercoverUlrikHD, do games w Grasshopper CEO Suda51 says people ‘care too much’ about Metacritic scores
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

I can’t remember ever having used meta critic to guide a purchase. There is so much content both from forums and YouTube/Twitch that gives you much more accurate impressions of games. Meta critic seems rather pointless nowadays.

LukeZaz, do gaming w Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will no longer grant ‘Erotica’ points for taking photos of women [VGC]

Equal representation’s good, and I never liked this mechanic to begin with. Works for me!

I still won’t buy it, but that’s because it lacks T.J. Rotolo, not anything to do with this.

Good immersive sims are few and far between. I’m cautiously optimistic.
