This game is very much outside of my wheelhouse, but it sure is nice having indie devs come to the Fediverse to advertise, not just Reddit. Best wishes to you and your brother!

TreseBrothers,

Thank you very much!

Looks right in my wheelhouse. Does it have much story to it or a campaign? I’ll have to check the video later

cccrontab,

I 2nd this question!

TreseBrothers,

A decent amount of story; more than something like XCOM, less than something like Wasteland 3. Our story engine draws from a pool of available storylines and selects them based on your power level, character tags on your squad members, and how you’ve played the game so far, in both story missions and proc-gen missions that work hand-in-hand to feed the story engine and give you opportunities to aid and increase the influence of contacts in your network. When one of our hand-crafted storylines gets selected by the engine, it then weaves in squad members and contacts from your specific playthrough. So every time you play, the story is customized to your playthrough.

We think it’s a pretty cool system, and will only continue to become more so as we keep adding new content to the game post-launch.

Anything can be hacked if you have physical access to it

Ephera,

Yeah, I was gonna say: Oh, like most laptops then? If the hard drive is not encrypted, you can just boot a different OS to access what’s on the hard drive…

This is “hacked” in the console modding parlance. It’s not about gaining access to someone else’s Xbox to do something nefarious, it’s about running software that Microsoft doesn’t want you to run on your xbox, including pirated games. “Jailbreak” is a synonym for “hack” or “softmod” in this scene.

Ephera,

I’m actually aware of the difference, but would also argue that this difference isn’t that big. If you have to bypass security mechanisms to be able to use hardware as you please, that doesn’t sound to me like you actually own it.

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

I mean yeah. Game consoles are DRM-riddled computers shackled into being toys. Being able to crack one open and turn it into something that can be used in non-manufacturer-approved ways is a cool scene in its own right.

I have one of the OG white ones but never use it out of fear for the red ring, any shot this will help prevent that?

ILikeBoobies,

Kind of not really

You can overclock the fans but you really would want to do a hardware fix

I tried the demo, and I’ve got to say: I was hoping for more of an evolution to the stealth mechanics. This seems to be sticking very closely to what Monaco 1 was.

2025 is the year of the X360. First the decomp tools, now this. Maybe we can even expect a serious attempt at emulating the system on PC? Xenia is still not good, unfortunately.

Lacimester,

About xenia not being good… I know my experience is anecdotal and ofc xenia is not perfect but I played through Forza Horizon 1 and Red Dead Redemption with almost no issues. I’d say it’s a bit better than “not good”

bhamlin,

Probably meant in comparison to where ps3 emulation is currently. I agree, xenia has made amazing progress. For the “lol 360 go brrrrr” folks it has a long way to go still.

Hopefully they find a way to apply the fix permanently. I just did 2 RGH3 mods over the weekend which is the easiest hardware mod for the 360 and it was more challenging than I expected.

atro_city, do games w Any Xbox 360 Can Now Be Hacked with Just a USB Flash Drive

So it takes up to 15 minutes to apply (if successful) and has to be done every time you start your XBox 360. It's great that there's no hardware changes involved so even I could make changes, but at every boot?

moody,

Doesn’t the Xbox 360 have a sleep mode? Basically you’d only need to do it again if the power goes out.

PotatoKat,

Nope sleep modes weren’t a thing outside of handhelds until the next gen

Reminds me of early 3DS hacking and CFWs. Don’t worry, we’ll get there eventually. The fact it can do this at all is a major step.

AI_toothbrush,

Now you reminded me of the 3ds homebrew scene. It was so fun. Its amazing how active it was as well. But now its at the point where you can homebrew one by scanning a qr code, no need to buy a specific game or special cartridge.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, hacking a 3DS is incredibly easy and painless today. Back when I first hacked my 3DS I had to do it through the browser, after inserting a bunch of code on an SD card, and it only had a 50/50 chance of actually working, with the risk of bricking the thing.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

MVG says not likely since the bootloader would need an exploit as well… Which currently doesn’t have a soft mod related exploit

If it’s been rooted, why can’t it just go all the way? There has to be a layer where the read-only hardware has to talk to critical read-write files.

I’m gonna have to buy a 360 now to jailbreak and rip its games.
Been doing that for PS1-4, GC, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and OG Xbox. Now it’s time for the 360 to join the ranks.

    You can already rip 360 games.

    Using a PC you just need to make a .iso of the disk using whatever method or software you prefer.

    You can also do it with an umodded 360 console.

    The trick isn’t ripping the games, it’s playing them. That’s what the hacks like RGH and now this software are for. There’s also emulation like Xenia and XenonRecomp.
