brawleryukon, do games w AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 Now Available

This went into Forspoken back at the end of September.

I tried it out on a 3080Ti and I can confirm it’s absolute garbage. Totally hitchy stuttery mess, completely unplayable every time I turned it on. Plus, you have to use FSR2 for your image reconstruction to make it work, so you don’t get the image quality benefits of DLSS while you’re staring at the frozen frames during the stutters.

Big avoid.

SkyeStarfall,

That version had bugs especially in relation to vsync. You should at least try the newer one with some of the issues fixed

Just tried it again. It’s just as broken and horrible as it was previously.

I’m surprised Starfield isn’t in the announcement list, considering AMD sponsored the game to promote their tech.

If Bethesda tried to install new tech into their engine the fucking stars would probably explode.

kautau,

Oh, I’m sorry. Well, I could put the engine into a landfill where it’s going to stay for millions of years, or I could burn it up by adding some new AMD tech to it and get a nice smoky smell in here and let that smoke go into the sky where it turns into starfield

8ender,

Someone’s probably already working on a mod that adds FSR3 and makes stars explode

Hadriscus,

Can I have the stars exploding without the FSR3 ?

LennethAegis,
@LennethAegis@kbin.social avatar

They could not even get the local suns to show at launch. FSR 3 is probably way down the list of other issues to fix first.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Yep. Game doesn’t even have fucking native dlss. Unbelievable. Blatent AMD sponsorship. People shit on Nvidia for this type of dogshit but AMD does the same bs.

You can also blame Bethesda for taking the money too.

FeelzGoodMan420,

There is an endless list of shit that we can blame Bethesda for with this game. It’s fun but it’s held together with toothpicks and bubble gum. And the fact that they marketed this as a “next gen experience” is fucking straight up fraud lol. In a lot of ways this shit is even more ass backwards than fallout 4.

Hadriscus,

I didn’t think it was fun at all

simple, do games w Minnmax interview with Bruce Nesmith, ex Bethesda design director (video, 1:40:49 length)

It was just a misfire overall. They couldn’t create the game they wanted on a dated engine. Loading screens inbetween every action ruined whatever immersion and exploration the game had, it felt shallow and I spend more time fast traveling from planet to planet than I am exploring an area.

brsrklf,

So, they’re still using their own frankenstein monster reanimated from the corpse of Gamebryo I presume?

There are definitely more problems at Bethesda than their engine of choice, but yeah, it certainly still is a big one. It’s been creaking at the seams forever.

At the very least the trailer looks better than the gameplay they showed at Gamescom this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=270uflOMbMk

darth_helmet,

Big oof, that looks terrible

Deep Rock Galactic: Fantasy Edition is looking pretty meh, tbh.

It’s a shame because if you describe it to me on paper, the concept of a co-op game where a group of dwarves build/rebuild Moria or at least a tiny portion of it sounds interesting. But among other things it’d need an art style. I mean it also needs a good one that is evocative of the world Tolkien created, but hey, first of all it needs an art style.

The only thing we have is that they claim it’s “feature complete” which could mean anything based on how they use language in regards to their progress.

For all we know they mean all of the mechanics are done but the campaign and most missions still need created. It could still be years away from release.

SC has been almost 7 years overdue even based on the most distant projections for launch and it keeps just puttering down the road for as long as people keep buying ships I guess. The poster child of what companies will do when people keep giving them money for the pleasure.

They’ve turned game development into a live service business model instead of just making a product and selling it.

Yeah. That’s bad. Whose the developer?

Testuserplsignore,

Care to specify what did you dislike?

GONADS125,

Not the one you asked, but this looks like a low-quality mobile phone turd to me. It also looks too similar to the only game that could rival ET as the worst game in history… I personally wouldn’t bother given the Wheeble Wobble art style and being seemingly built on Gollum.

Son_of_dad,

Free range games. Looks like they’ve only done oddworld:soulstorm and a mobile game before that

MisterBrickBrack, do games w The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria™ - Launch Trailer

This looks a bit underwhelming, and I’m not even meaning the visual style they leaned towards. I just think the combat looks a bit flat and the adventuring about the caves that I’ve seen in other gameplay has seemed rather stiff and lifeless (for lack of a more apt descriptor because I haven’t played it)

Anyone else think this is missing some polish and spirit?

Spacemanspliff,

Yeah definitely didn’t do a good job of really making me wanna play it, though it does look significantly better then gollum did, but that’s not a very high bar to cross.

GONADS125,

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much polish goes into it. A polished turd is still but a turd…

verysoft,

It's an attempt at a quick cash grab by some publisher, abusing the LOTR IP and it's current resurgence in popularity. Epic Games only too. I wouldn't be surprised to hear later down the line how the devs have been on crunch to get a game out in a ridiculously short amount of time.

Epic store only is a dealbreaker, especially in the age of the Steam Deck

maxprime,

Is it possible to play EGS games on steam deck?

aesopjah,

Yes, but not as seamless. You basically add the epic store as a ‘game’

HeavyRaptor,

Not at all, you can use Heroic launcher to add games individually

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It is. And you can choose if you want to use the Epic launcher or not as well.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You can play both Epic and GOG games on the Steam Deck, and you can do it with or without the Epic and GOG launchers. Your choice. I did so today, in fact.

The Steam Deck runs Linux. That means anything that runs on Linux, and most things that run on Windows or Android can be run. Including Windows-only software.

Idk why people act in this day and age like the Steam Deck is some crippled device. Unless your desktop runs Linux, your Steam Deck can run more things than it can.

Please don’t misunderstand their criticism. It’s not criticism of the Steam Deck, but of Epic as a company. Epic’s store is the crippled thing, not the Steam Deck.

Yeah, we can work around it, as customers. We should not have to.

I’m having a ton of fun playing it with friends. One of the best games I’ve played this year. We had to drag ourselves off of it so we could go to sleep.

I’m so glad I can buy the games separately. I’m really only wanting to play MGS3 but already own 1 and 2 on GOG

stephfinitely, do games w METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 | Launch Trailer

I knew this would be a lazy port but I had hope for a little bit more compatibility.

echo64, do games w METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 | Launch Trailer

I know a lot of people are super down on this, it’s a fairly low effort collection and we are often spoilt by other companies.

But it’s the games as they were and its nice to have an accessible way of playing them so I’m excited at least. I really didn’t want to have to dig out a ps2/3 to play MGS2

ProfessorProteus,
@ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it does look a little low-effort. My first thought was about the GTA trilogy debacle. But it can’t be that bad right?

Konami doesn’t deserve the money, but it’s hard to argue against accessibility, so I won’t. If someone wants to enjoy these iconic games I wouldn’t try to stop them.

Says their game is feature complete then starts talking about new features they’re adding and improving. Not sure these guys know what feature complete means.
