At some stage this was a weekly thing for me, at least on Reddit under another username.
I focused primarily on GOG and Epic, because few users covered their news. In fact one game site offered me a job (or the beginnings of an offer) after they gained some popularity.
Regardless, I’d love to post these in a somewhat regular manner. Hard to know what I find interesting is for others, before I try it. Looks like it might be though!
Junk-Store is a wonderful piece of software! Eben (the dev) has a background in the same field of work I am in, pen-testing. He’s also a talented programmer! JS runs on the Deck, but also on Bazzite, after Kyle (Bazzite dev!) noticed his work and how well it suited things there.
Its no secret the upcoming version won’t be Decky Loader dependent however, so make of that what you will!
I’ll literally tell Paweł that you’re a Heroic fan! And I’ll pass on a link to this comment so he can see that I am praising his work wherever I go! <3
Of the first? Yes! Its incredible. They did such a good job keeping the original game there with lovely new textures.
I haven’t the nostalgia of playing the original at release (or ever), but I really enjoyed System Shock Remake. You won’t regret it! It goes pretty cheap quite regularly on GOG, also
Performance is tied to framerate, or at least was a loooong time ago. I notice a lot of users on EmuDeck write about this. Like…a lot! Not your issue, but I read a lot who think the game is playing in super slo-mo, but this is all tied to the framerate. Keep it at 60 Hz or above, and all is fine.
PCSX2 has a huge range of tweaks you can make, but there’s also HD texture ‘packs’ you can download and apply, which re-do all the textures (yeah, I know you guessed that). Some of these can be huge like Silent Hill 2’s coming in at 29GB, and some can be teeny-tiny like MGS2’s which only re-textures the HUD and menu (because PCSX2 can upscale the native game’s resolution well enough on its own!)
Long reply, for me to say it performs perfectly for me!
Announcing they’d have native Linux support with a launcher and then never mentioning it again, hoping that everyone would forget?
That feels pretty awful to me, a Linux user. Obviously negated since we have such lovely work as Heroic (the dev of which is a personal friend), but it is the odd strange misstep like this which strikes me as being pretty sad.
Then we have developers never updating their games on GOG. Admittedly not a GOG problem, per se, but they could pressure these developers so that this kind of issue wouldn’t persist. There are SO many games which do this, that the GOG forums have a dedicated thread for this very issue: www.gog.com/forum/general/…/page316/?search=secon…At the moment, there are 4,729 replies on that thread.
GOG Galaxy 2.0 is nigh-on-abandoned now, with constant problems. There’s a slew of posts about it on all Reddit, their forum and on social media.
They have their issues. I adore them, but they have their issues.
I’d be pretty tempted by Tony Hawk’s, but the recent news that 3+4 will finally be getting remade makes me hesitate to play. Since the experience will probably be better there!
