Aw yeah I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this. Kerbal Space Program 2 was such a letdown. I really need something to help fill that void

The host’s intro made me laugh out loud.

“If you’re anything like me, you’ll prob’ly be fascinated by a brand new game called… [looks down at notes to read the name of the game…]”

Seriously, though, I’m thankful that he put a spoiler warning right up front. I’ll have to save this for later.

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.

Neat! Thanks for this 😊😊

nostalgicgamerz,

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

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

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.

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

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

CaptainBasculin, do games w Garfield Kart 2 – All You Can Drift – Teaser

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”.

Sylvartas,

I believe it. I’ve had access to a ps5 devkit and UE5 in the past.

What I don’t believe is that they can actually run a full-fledged game on the same hardware at the same level of fidelity

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Interesting thing is, they never claimed they can 😀

I am not even sure how far along they are with the game, so maybe they aren’t in a position to talk about performance and visual fidelity, but this is going to make people think this is how Witcher 4 will look and run.

Sylvartas,

No one has been doing that kind of claims directly since… TW3 actually ? Or maybe Watch Dogs. Epic Games and CDPR know that every content creator under the sun will run with that and make these claims for them to start the hype machine.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah… I was going to say this can blow up on their face if the game isn’t that good, but even when it happened with Cyberpunk 2077, they still made tons of money, and everyone seems to have forgotten that it ever happened, so maybe it won’t really matter to them.

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

Only relevant thing from this is to see Skellige, prettiest part from TW3

Ashtear,

This is in Kovir.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

Good to know. Another cool nordic region.

thisismyname,

Skellige is celtic, not nordic. Think Ireland/Scotland rather than Norway/Sweden.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

But Skellige is known for the drakkar(longships), that’s nordic no?

thisismyname,

Aye, but also Celtic because of Nordic influence.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Helly_Aa

If you click this link and scroll down to the gallery you can see what are essentially Viking longships but in a Celtic nation.

Celtic and Nordic cultures have a lot of similarities because of geographic proximity but they’re also distinctly their own.

ZeroHora,

Skellige is a combination of Celtic/Scottish and Viking culture

UlrikHD,
@UlrikHD@lemm.ee avatar

It’s a mix, even if the names are more celtic, the culture is inspired by norse culture. CDPR initially considered having the people of Skellige speak Norwegian.

RampantParanoia2365,

Skellige was very clearly heavily Nordic inspired. Ragh nahr Roog?

thisismyname,

The Scottish Hebrides have changed hands between Celtic, Norse, and later Scots ownership multiple times. The area has a smorgasbord of cultural influences.

Skellige is similar, it’s Celtic with a huge slathering of Nordic, but still ultimately Celtic at the end of the day.

(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,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

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.

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

Ashtear, do games w The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo

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.
