AProfessional,

This is the worst format for that?

Binaries will never get bug fixes or improvements like an emulator. The rom is the only relevant archive of a game.

Your complaint is just they have terrible UX, which is true.

AProfessional, (edited )

Prey is barely functional on modern systems. They never had a PS5 update and it barely hits 30fps there. The PC version is quite buggy and crashes for many.

I try to replay it every once in a while and just give up. It’s unfortunate.

AProfessional,

I’d believe it, might actually check that out soon.

AProfessional,

We don’t know their personal contract, but calling it illegal is ridiculous, I’m sure Valve explicitly allows for this.

AProfessional,

Whats wrong? Don’t say GOG will suddenly go streaming only.

AProfessional,

Pacific Drive is cool, I like the style and gameplay, but it feels very drawn out and repetitive.

AProfessional,

Just a heads up to those interested, it’s part of this months PS+ Extra too.

AProfessional,

Let’s hope Sony treats them well, it’s a huge success in their growing PC push.

AProfessional,

None of these are walled gardens really. That term applies to platforms (iOS) that restrict the user.

Steam and Epic are just stores. The DRM part isn’t even required (for Steam at least).

AProfessional,

Yes they use kernel level anticheat and they are correct it would be easier to cheat on Linux.

AProfessional,

EAC does support Linux and can be enabled. It just isn’t as secure.

AProfessional,

I’m not saying it’s necessary but “some raytracing“ is very little, the next hardware refresh will be a lot more raytracing.

AProfessional,

From the article

The problem seems to revolve around brands that haven’t acquired this licensing

It seems to just be rent seeking? Since it’s retroactive there probably isn’t a security change and malicious hardware can spoof being licensed, though this is unclear. So it probably only hurts legitimate small brands.

AProfessional,

Good game, you don’t need to play the first FWIW (not so good IMO).

AProfessional,

They have a different design so it’s fair to like either. I feel the overall execution of the first was far worse personally.

On MetaCritic the first is at 75 and second at 76 so… I’ll take that as agreeing 😛

AProfessional,

They are completely different code bases maintained by different people…

Don’t expect them to move at the same pace.

AProfessional,

It’s possible some machines power through it. Just don’t preorder it and wait until you know it will work for you.

AProfessional,

As a software developer I can say threats from users are absolutely real unfortunately. A lot of people suck and it’s easy to hear from them.

AProfessional,

I hate it, but it was two clicks. Manage cookies -> Save & Exit. They all defaulted to reject for me.

AProfessional,

If Apple actually wants to compete in affordable VR gaming maybe.

AProfessional,

Proprietary software can never be truly trusted. You are always at their whims.

AProfessional,

It is source available, under the terms Epic licenses to you. Not Open Source

AProfessional, (edited )

Ideas started in the 70s, Free Software Movement happened in the 80s, the term Open Source from the 90s as an alternative to “free” to be more clear.

It always meant this.

AProfessional,

Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code,[1] design documents,[2] or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration.

AProfessional,

Frame generation doesn’t help low end hardware.

AProfessional, (edited )

Terrible title. “Switch 2 supports ray tracing and will use upscaling” is the summary. Which is obvious, it won’t be anywhere near consoles, it’s like 1/7th resolution.

AProfessional, (edited )

Sure, it is a garbage patent anyway, the Steam Deck does upscaling when docked too, woohoo.

This hardware isn’t a mystery, it’s a newer mobile ARM SoC using a newer Nvidia architecture supporting RT and DLSS. It will run at a low resolution. Probably max of 1080p, probably plenty of 720p on more demanding games. All upscaled.

And to be clear that’s fine, it is what a Switch 2 was always going to be.

AProfessional,

Yes it is surprising, it’s a high TDP desktop x86 SoC vs a low TDP mobile ARM SoC. Not close.

AProfessional,

I don’t know. It’s obviously arm. They partner with Nvidia, they want backward compat, and it’s a mobile device.

AProfessional,

Blame Nvidia for their purposefully misleading marketing.

AProfessional, (edited )

DLSS3 adds frame generation and just purposefully mislabeled by Nvidia to cause consumer confusion.

There is a DLSS2 mod, upscaling, which was free.

AProfessional,

I agree the current UX is bad but I don’t want seamless transitions… I just want a nicer UI.

AProfessional,

Minimum requirements are always useless.

The Steam Deck is an extremely low resolution which is why anything works.

AProfessional,

The whole point of it being local network only is because that is the only situation where latency is acceptable.

AProfessional,

Ah you are right, their marketing is heavily focused on home usage though. Probably because internet streaming sucks.

AProfessional, (edited )

It is dramatically better. A LANs latency can be 2ms, nearby WAN latency maybe 16ms, next city over latency 32ms. These are multiple frames of difference.

AProfessional,

Own an Xbox Series…

AProfessional,

I hate that AMD copied the same terrible branding.

AProfessional,

A slim doesn’t exist. The new model is the same thickness and slightly shorter.

AProfessional,

The music is so good. Soundtrack on Steam is half the cost of the game (and probably worth it).

AProfessional,

Asahi is barely functional, it is cool and could be amazing years from now though.
