What does it matter what it was running on? This looks pre rendered and anything pre rendered will look good even on a potato. Case in point Blizzard’s old pre renders in warcraft and diablo.

Don’t get me wrong, i’m excited for new witcher, just be realistic on the requirements. I’d rather not have another cyberpunk ps4 fiasco.

simple,

It’s running in real time.

Hadriscus,

Well it is so you know you’re going to get something similar if you own a ps5

Remember: Do NOT preorder

DoucheBagMcSwag,

And especially do not preorder after “game play trailers”

HeyJoe,

Not even, it’s a tech demo and has nothing to do with the game outside the assets used. That village will most likely not exist in the final product. I still think it looks fantastic and can’t wait to see more. I would hope this means they are close to releasing something later this year and maybe even get a release date.

Jaderick,

I do not pre order, but I am hyped for this.

CommanderCloon,

That, and UE5, means I’m super not hyped. I’ll definitely be closely watching reviews, especially on the performance side

But this is the third Garfield Kart…

I expect this will follow the same pattern as their previous games -

  1. the hype cycle will get fans frothing at the mouth
  2. the launch will be delayed several times because "we want it to be PERFECT for our fans"
  3. the actual launch will still be Bethesda-levels of buggy
  4. Over the first ~year after release the game is slowly patched to be playable

It’s weird seeing it happen again and again.

Remember, folks - 2+ years after launch you’ll be able to purchase the original game + the half-dozen DLCs for a nickel.

Hm, sad to see he just skipped over voodoo2 (3dfx) 3d glasses prior to Nvidia…

nostalgicgamerz, (edited )

Oh no…in hate it when I miss things like that. are you telling me 3DFX supported stereoscopic 3D??..

Strider, (edited )

Yes, I had 2 monster3d* voodoo 2 cards and could play sort of most 3dfx games with shutter* glasses in more or less good 3d.

(* I am pretty sure but it’s been a long time)

It was draining like most 3d implementations but the novelty wore off rather quickly too.

I was trying to find some stuff to link but was mostly unsuccessful but I’ll give it another go.

It might have been that wicked3d stuff:

stereo3d.com/h3d.htm

nostalgicgamerz,

Oh no no no no damnit! Now I feel bad ;___;

I definitely would have covered that!

Strider,

No, don’t, nothing is ever complete. If it really was that wicked3d, it’s very niche and surprising I even had it 😁.

nostalgicgamerz,

Damn that is totally… wicked

Pun intended

(Note: I don’t read anything from games I play, I like to keep the suspense) I’d love for this to be set after Ciri going into the Avalac’h’s portal. That’s considered a bad ending for TW3 but we don’t exactly know what happened and if she would eventually make it back.

Coelacanth,

Ciri enters the portal in all endings.

argh_another_username,

I don’t remember anymore. Even the one that she becomes a princess? But you know, I’m talking the one that she doesn’t come back.

Coelacanth, (edited )
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Yes, she always goes through the portal. It’s what happens after that varies. She either becomes a Witcher (looks like that will be the canon ending considering Witcher 4), becomes an empress or she doesn’t come back. In the latter ending it’s implied (but left up for debate) that she dies. It’s also very heavily implied that Geralt dies in that one.

Can’t wait to see how bad this launch is. I love watching YouTube videos about big budget games that turn out horrible

Ugh, I can already tell this is my deadline for my getting a GPU upgrade.

Hopefully the switch to a third-party engine means I won’t have to wait a year after release like I did with CP2077. I imagine this game has to be super important to Epic.

Prathas, do games w The History of 3D Gaming - [The History of Video Games]

You do mention Total Annihilation, the first 3D RTS, right?

nostalgicgamerz, (edited )

I didn’t know what this was so I looked it up.

This video covers was stereoscopic 3D in video games.

So like games that used an effect to make it seem like the visuals were appearing out from the screen utilizing stereoscopic effects

Did this use some type of 3D effect to this degree?

Prathas,

Oh, no. It wasn’t a camera trick; projectiles actually fly in 3D and can miss, units actually move up real hills and mountains and down onto lakebeds (as opposed to fake RA1, RA2, and Tiberian Sun ones), etc. Never mind, then!

nostalgicgamerz,

That is an interesting topic…the history of 2D to 3D gaming…

This Would be incredibly extensive though and Scott the Woz has definitely covered this subject in much detail

Microids has organised quite a few competitions for its players in the past year on Garfield Kart-Furious Racing, which was weird considering the game didn’t have much player activity. I even joined a few of them for laughs, and i guess that’s why it gave priority to Steam’s reccomendations; the game’s announcement showed instantly on my Steam’s “What’s New” tab.

That’s very clever marketing, I’ll give them that.

Those “What’s New” updates are so easily abused. If you played multiple games in a series, every single one of them will post an update about the latest game, so you’ll see the same update like 5 times. Or, if you’re Street Fighter, you’ll pretend that it matters which one of your fictional characters currently has a birthday, and that will litter the feed until you click on “show less”.

This game is pretty high on my list to check out, but I didn’t realize the music was so amazing. I went right over to buy the album on Bandcamp.

Saved the video to watch later given the mention of spoilers, I want to go into this one blind.

I started playing this over the weekend. The incredible music was the first thing that stood out to me.

Neat! Thanks for this 😊😊

nostalgicgamerz,

Hey no problem! I’m glad you liked it! = ]

I highly recommend this guy’s channel. He lays down some great video game funk and analyzes a lot of game music. Super talented dude.
