Well hell, while we’re all wishing, let’s just throw in a request for a Fallout New Vegas remaster. I would pay uncountable money for a version that I didn’t have to mod like crazy to make functional. Not holding my breath though.

It’d be pretty sick if after seeing the massive success bg3 was and how they were wildly off with their prediction, Microsoft pushes an order for pillars of eternity 3.

While I’m in this bizzaro world where Microsoft makes good decisions, I’d also like a Ferrari.

My fear is that they’d want to copy DoS2/BG3 and the resulting game would look and play nothing like Pillars.

prograhammingdev,

Pillars 2 had a turn based mode, didn’t it? The gameplay is mostly there.

It was added months post-launch as an afterthought in reaction to DoS2 though, the first game doesn’t even have a turn-based mode.

prograhammingdev,

I know the first game didn’t, by the time I played the sequel (though I didn’t enjoy that one nearly as much as the first) I did recall it being an option.

That’s a weird way to say that he is waiting for a call from Microsoft to make pillars of eternity 3

Just started playing myself, annoyed that I had to start over because people who join you in multiplayer PERMANENTLY JOIN THE PARTY! No way to dismiss them meaning you’re permanently locked out of Story Based Party Members…

Brilliant…

Whoever came up with that should be fired, out of a cannon and into the sun.

gk99,

I’m excited for CoD to not be a $70 gamble on whether or not the game is good. Like, 2019 was pretty good, 2020 was great, 2021 was bad, 2022 was bad, 2023 is most likely going to be bad, and 2024 is most likely going to finally be some good CoD again. It’d be real nice if I just had access to this via $15 subscription day one.

And speculative pipe dream hope: Activision has a load of currently unused IPs that I’d love to see Microsoft bring back.

For anyone else who is wondering - the game works great on the steam deck. I actually prefer it over my macbook pro because it’s easier to read the screen. I’ve gotten hours logged into the game so far.

It is a perfect update of the franchise. The storylines and writing are top notch, and the technology is blowing me away with how they managed to update everything while keeping the feel.

No thanks. We don’t need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.

curiousaur, do gaming w EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go'

Not interested at all. Steam os has spoiled gamers with the quick booting, flexibility, and pause / resume. It’s over for windows.

HughJanus,

MS has a handheld gaming OS in the works.

bear,

They don’t; there was an internal tech demo that never went anywhere but was spread around online a few months ago with a bunch of misinformation that Microsoft was preparing to fight the Steam Deck head on.

gamerant.com/microsoft-windows-handheld-mode-leak…

the developer also noted that the project itself “didn’t go much of anywhere.”

HughJanus,

Well that’s a shame but thanks for the update on that.

Hardware makers making the same mistakes over and over again...

I'll say it louder for the kids in the back, "DON'T BOTHER MAKING CUSTOM GAMING HARDWARE WITHOUT A CUSTOM GAMING OS".

Regardless of how you feel about Windows, it is not fit for purpose. It's the wrong tool for the job.

Well, you know what they say:

When all you have is a hammer everything looks…like…a…uhhhhhh…Window?

Erk,

When all you have is a Window everything looks like a huge friggin pane

atocci,

If this form factor is here to stay, and hopefully it is, Microsoft will probably adapt Windows to it (also hopefully). SteamOS is very good though, can manufacturers not just use that?

sailsperson,
@sailsperson@kbin.social avatar

Microsoft will likely do fuck all and have us all rely on third-party solutions.

superkret,

As long as you don’t use it for Office, Microsoft isn’t going to spend money on it. Their cash cow is M365 and Azure, they don’t even care when every single gamer pirates their OS.

@krolden@lemmy.ml avatar

I could see them pushing an Xbox handheld in the near future.

mnemonicmonkeys,

I think other manufacturers aren’t using SteamOS for 2 main reasons:

1: They get to brag about universal compatibility, even if that’s not a huge gap anymore

2: They aren’t dependent on a direct competitor for their software

HughJanus,

Except Valve isn’t a competitor to any of these hardware manufacturers if they also have SteamOS.

Damage,

Eh, this and the Ally are cash grabs, I doubt they intend to spend the money needed to support custom software long-term. They’ll just hope that Windows updates don’t mess it up and if they do, they’ll blame Microsoft.

johnthedoe, do gaming w EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go'

Cool. Now it just needs steam os on it

HughJanus,

Those ChimeraOS folks are gonna have their hands full…

Is running windows os on these devices is a lot of resource overhead?

aBundleOfFerrets,

These devices are honestly quite fast, the overhead is similar to the overhead on an entry level gaming PC (to be fair, that is still a substantial overhead, but people accept it)

Fylkir,

The bigger problem with Windows is that the Steamdeck has some great battery optimization settings that seem like they’d be a pain to implement.

Plus windows just kinda sucks to use with these sorts of devices

superkret,

MS tried to make a Windows that doesn’t suck on mobile devices, everyone h8ed it.

windows can be tuned to run fairly well, but we're talking lenovo here, and they do love their preinstalled crapware.

@kingthrillgore@kbin.social avatar

That's cool and all but I got my hopes on the Steam Deck still, simply because Valve cracked the "who needs Windows" nut

mnemonicmonkeys,

I second this. I’m planning to start switching my devices from Windows to Linux in a couple of weeks due to good experience I’ve had with the Steam Deck
