NotTheOnlyGamer, w Quake 2 Remaster will be announced and released next week during QuakeCon 2023
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?

@twistedtxb@lemmy.ca avatar

That would be a massive undertaking. Daikatana is almost “broken by design”. Quake II simply needs new textures and RT

There's a lot more that went wrong with Daikatana than just a new engine.

The entire game was overhyped blandness. Just Romero throwing his name out there to get attention than letting the game speak for itself.

Nioxic, w Former Riot, Blizzard Devs Reveal Teaser For Competitive Shooter Inspired By Anime And Comics

Im sorry. But i do think that the market for competitive shooters is a bit too saturated?

Cs2 arrive soon as well. Lol.

Overwatch going down hill…

@0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social avatar

I don't know anything about the market, but I was really in to Overwatch for a while. It went downhill when they basically abandoned the first game and then came out with a second to flip the business model to battle pass bs.

I'd be down for something new to fill its spot and this looks like it could be it

harpuajim, w Baldur's Gate 3 is a 122GB download and you can't preload any of it

Seems like Australia gets screwed with these types of things more than other first world nations. Even a lot of third world countries have better speeds on average than Australia. Even then though with a 50mbps connection you can just download it overnight or start it before you leave for work and you’ll be good to go.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

Sounds like a bad idea in general to play cracked/emulated games online in the first place…

CmdrShepard,

It sounds oike people aren’t getting banned for playing games, they’re getting banned for using an emulator without paying Microsoft a vig.

Madison_rogue, w Assassin's Creed Mirage will take 25-30 hours to complete – and that's if you're a completionist
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

There's a lot of "it depends" in regards to a game that is fully completed at 25-30 hours. If Ubisoft is going to charge $70 USD for the game, along with an additional Deluxe Edition that costs an extra $30, I'm probably not going to buy it on release unless the story is phenomenal, and it's replayable.

I'd be the first to agree that the more recent releases (especially Valhalla) have been too expansive. The only thing that kept my interest with Odyssey and Origins were the settings (I love ancient Greece and Egypt). I think a 50-60 hour game is adequate for a AAA game like Assassin's Creed.

getBoolean, w Hackers are infecting Call of Duty players with a self-spreading malware | TechCrunch

is this the one that had the malware patched in the fan servers they shutdown?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I don't think Modern Warfare 2 ever had fan servers. It's the one that infamously had a "boycott" over the lack of dedicated servers (which is different than private servers) because it was all peer to peer multiplayer.

PrinzKasper,
@PrinzKasper@kbin.social avatar

MW2 had many iterations of fan servers. It started with alterIWnet, and ended with IW4X, which was recently shut down by Activision with a cease and desist. Fan modded versions of the game with dedicated servers and a server browser, with known security vulnerabilities like this one already patched out. Thanks to Activision, there's now no way to safely play this game anymore.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Oh, that's cool. Cool that the alternate networks ever existed, I mean. Not cool that they got shut down, but this is from the same people who shut down vanilla WoW to sell it back to you again.

WowMyNameIsUnique,

Seems like it, yep. RIP IW4X. I didn’t even know it existed!

A lesson in what not to do when making a LOTR game?

TwilightVulpine,

A lesson to use the right studios for the right projects. Daedalic Entertainment could have made a really fun 2D point-and-click adventure game set in The Lord of the Rings world, maybe even about Gollum. But a game like this was definitely not the right format and too large a scope for them.

Boabab,
@Boabab@kbin.social avatar

My thoughts exactly. Deadalic is an awesome studio with some of the best point-n-click games, an IMO underrated niche genre and some great other unique games. However, they are not the kind of studio for a games like Gollum. Every studio (and even every person working at that studio) has it's own strengths and weaknesses. By utilizing that strengths and weaknesses correctly, you can make great games. It's a shame they got a bad rep because they didn't do that with this game.

Ganondorf,
@Ganondorf@kbin.social avatar

On paper, the concept sounded really unique and cool for a LOTR game. It's unfortunate the wrong studio was in charge of it.

WowMyNameIsUnique, w PlayStation Project Q leak offers a very rough look at the handheld in action

So… could someone explain to me what makes this better than just using the Remote Play app on whatever device you want? That has existed for years and has always worked great.

QuarterlySushi,
@QuarterlySushi@kbin.social avatar

Probably not much, especially if you already like the controller. I have a crap controller that I use with my phone, so it would probably be an upgrade over that... but even so, I’d rather just buy a better controller.

WowMyNameIsUnique,

Yeah… Even then, it basically just uses a PS5 controller with a tablet in between it. If someone likes the controller here, they can use literally any other PS5 controller. They can’t even use the argument that it’s more portable when it’s a hefty 8" tablet lol. What a strange device…

helenslunch, w Yes, the Steam Deck OLED is susceptible to burn-in if you really try, but it also really doesn't matter
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Thousands of hours on high brightness with a static image and it will start to retain elements of the image.

The torture test is important but what ya boi needs to do now is to create a more realistic test. Using static elements for maybe 6 hours at a time every day. That’s still “torture” as most users are probably not playing the same game for that long, but still within the realm of possibility.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

needs to do now is to create a more realistic test. Using static elements for maybe 6 hours at a time every day

That's kinda useless. You might as well just wait for the user reports at that point.

These unrealistic torture tests accelerate the potential burn-in, and it's still useful to gauge how long it could really take.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

But this also accelerates the potential wear, just at a much more realistic rate.

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

You'll definitely have users gaming on the thing for 8+ hours every day, so I don't see much value in that. Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

You’ll definitely have users gaming on the thing for 8+ hours every day

Yes, that’s exactly my point. Definitely some but not many.

Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.

Report them to whom, exactly? Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues. How are you going to account for the conditions? What if there’s nothing to report?

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues.

But enough people are. People are talking about every small thing they did, what happened, whatever.

Also, with all the different plugins or stats available on this thing to track everything, you can probably create a pretty detailed breakdown of what someone did with their Steam Deck.
