UFO 50 without a doubt. Most creative bang for your buck that’s ever been released imo

Been super excited to get back from my trip to be able to play this!

chloyster, 5 dni temu

Yeah with my 3080 I’ll be able to run it pretty well I think. Unfortunately I can’t do the full ray tracing since it only has 10gb of vram :/

I believe it needs a minimum of 12 for full ray tracing

Oh awesome, I’ll check this out. I’ve been playing the last couple days and the game really is good. Been running it great without rt and am almost done with the Vatican

Yeah thankfully I have a built in group to play with haha. I can imagine randos being toxic

I believe it’s full coop. Not like from soft games. Seems to be a kinda 3 player roguelite thing. 3 players get random builds and weapons and make their way to a spot where a circle is closing in to fight a big boss together. Not a live service. Full game for one price

Ahh I see. I like that more I think. Cool!

If you’re into puzzles you can check out puzzmo.com and add it to your home screen. Works great on mobile and has really fun daily games!

My goty and one of my new all time favorites. It’s the best bundle since the orange box. Every game is unique and awesome and very well thought out. These are not mini games, they are well well thought out, clever, and fun games.

Not all are for me, but I’ve had fun stumbling around each game and figuring them out. Favorites include:

• Mini and Max
• Party house
• Rail heist
• Night manor
• Overbold
• Warp tank
• Mortol

From the UFO 50 website:

AUTHENTIC BUT ALSO MODERN - We carefully chose what elements to modernize. Every game shares a unique 32-color palette and we took great efforts to make them look and sound like actual 8-bit titles from the 80s. On the other hand, it was important to us that UFO 50 was fun and surprising for modern players, so we chose not to limit ourselves to the genres and design conventions of the past.

They’ve said in interviews as well that they choose to view UFO soft as a game company that was very ahead of its time

Eh. They’ve been great at that but I dont see this as it. Handheld stuff is cool and popular right now. Don’t get me wrong, they definitely could self sabotage here. They 100% did with the vita and their egregiously expensive memory cards…

But the PSP and Vita were great devices aside from that. I could see this working

I saw them mention this in their recent update video. Def giving this a listen haha. Sounds insane

Hey a fellow 2042 defender. Def agree with you that it gets too much hate. It def is a lot better now but I didn’t hate it on launch either tbh haha

Few things I want more than PC bloodborne 😔. I’d settle for PS5 remake / remaster just to get 60fps

chloyster, miesiąc temu

Best news Ive seen all week!

chloyster, miesiąc temu

Picked simply because no souls era from soft games go above 60. I would absolutely take higher but I don’t expect it

Removing for dupe

Man I want one of these so bad 😩

Aight. You know what. I’ve been eyeing this thing for hella long. I’ve had a shitty few weeks. I can afford it. Just ordered one! Excited for December! I’ll def try your game out :)

I get that. But at the same time I have a bit of an obsession with handheld devices. And there’s enough of a cool indie scene that I think I’d use it quite a bit, and develop for it myself. UFO 50 is my goty and I feel that same sense of discovery and fun I could get out of a device like this

Nice! I havent used lua before but will look at it when my system arrives as I’d rather use that than C haha.

I saw someone started / did a wario ware style game for the playdate but I really want to try my hand at something like that. With the accelerometer, crank, buttons, etc it seems like the perfect device for quick micro games like that!

I’ve had issues with image upload as well. There’s a size limit but also an absolute pixel limit as well. So cropping the image may work

That’s true, and fair. I am optimistic though since from what I understand Arkane didn’t want to develop a multiplayer game. Sounds like this has been something remedy wanted to do

I have a love hate with analogue. They undoubtedly make really excellent products, and I absolutely adore my pocket. However they really lean into the fomo of their stuff. They make very few units, and you have to be ready to go when they drop more product most of the time. I will say though the price of this is a lot lower than I expected. And while you shouldn’t count on it, every analogue system has gotten some form of ability to play roms from other systems (whether it’s built into the OS (not happening for the 3D) or a “jailbreak” is released by basically an employee of analogue).

Analogue stuff is good if you have cartridges you want to play, but at this point, with the recent release of Taki Udon’s cheap Mister Pi (retroremake.co/pages/store), I think Mister is the way to go. It’s an open source project as opposed to analogue’s implementation. The issue with Mister was you needed a pretty expensive DE10 Nano board to utilize it. Now you can get one of these new boards for only $100 (if you can get your hands on them. Only 2 batches have been sold so far and they sell out quick). Plus Taki is planning on using this new board to make a handheld Mister which I’m super stoked for.

That’s super fair and I agree for the most part. Though it’s hard to be super enthusiastic about it when they focus on a plethora of super limited edition color ways for the pocket instead of keeping the base one in stock and completely abandoning DAC support which they promised a while ago (and recently scrubbed all mention of on their site)

Hell yeah good for them

I suppose I have to ask how linear. Like can it be mostly linear while having the chance to explore off the beaten path very briefly? Or like straight up hallway simulator.

Ive been using a site actually to rate games I’ve played so I’ll start listing some of my 5 and 4.5 star games that I would personally consider linear.

5 star games

• Astrobot
• Silent hill 2 (enhanced edition mod for PC, remake I’m still working through but it’s good)
• Rayman origins
• Mario and Luigi superstar saga (borderline linear)
• Kingdom hearts 2 (you can pick the order of worlds at times and have the option to backtrack but not necessary
• Mother 3
• Re4 (og and remake both 10/10 to me)

4.5 star games

• Chants of sennaar
• Kirby super Star ultra
• Halo 2
• Rayman legends
• WolfenStein the new order
• Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
• Dead Space
• The last of us
• the last of us 2 (has one shortish open area section)
• Alan wake 2 (has some open exploration areas at points)
• Celeste
• The case of the golden idol

I could go on, and some are borderline linear, but these are my faves that mostly involve going from one moment to the next

Edit: the site I’ve been using. Feel free to check out my list of played games ordered by rating if you want more. I have a lot on there: backloggd.com/u/chloyster/games/…/type:played?pag…

Earthbound / mother 2 is also 5 stars for me and can definitely be played before hand. There is overlap in the antagonist and references but otherwise mother 3 takes place an incomprehensible amount of time in the future. I didn’t include earthbound since its a tiny bit more backtracky and explory but tbh it’s about as linear as m&l superstar saga so I’d def recommend it if you want to play!
