I’m cautiously optimistic, but prime is made by a completely different developer than dread so there’s no guarantees, unfortunately

And enormously outperforming the original, too. A shame, I like threes.

Yeah, in the long run this could be good for the industry.

That said, if I’d bought a series x on the promise of many years of high quality exclusives (a promise Xbox explicitly made) I would probably be a bit upset in the now…

It’s shaping up that a ps5 is gonna be just the flatly superior console, and Xbox owners will be stuck holding the bag

I’ve been quite comfortable with not owning any new Ubisoft games for a few years now

Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I’m also playing through control again now.

I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn’t cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.

Yeah, I hear you. It was a slog getting to the end. Frankly, I don’t think anyone should feel bad about just reading a synopsis and skipping to the sequel.

Not exactly. There’s the old Debian based version and a user edited version of the deck’s recovery image. The latter gets you pretty close to the experience, but as with most arch based distros it’s not always a super user-friendly experience.

A gaming-focused, curated experience that just works™️

With a little know how you can get 99% of the way there with any arch based distro, but installing a new OS for non techies can be pretty intimidating. Having Valve’s assurance that it works with all common hardware would help more people take the plunge, I think.

If you mean the old Debian based one, yes. SteamOS 3+ is arch based and released with the steam deck. Valve said they’d release a version for desktops, but have yet to follow through.

You mean dual boot for the steam deck? Iirc the new OLED model will allow custom bios/firmware so that could be a possibility soon

If it’s even possible it would take years or decades of work building up good will. It’s kinda Valve’s game to lose right now. They just need to not make any enormous mistakes and they win by default. Fortunately for Valve, they seem to be one of the few companies in game dev that isn’t managed exclusively by misanthropes and buffoons.

Yeah, very few studios would retool an existing project. The real question is whether any of them will be picking unity for their next project. And will young people getting into game dev choose Unity over others? I don’t expect to see a sharp decrease in the number of Unity projects in the next year, but rather a slow descent, while Godot picks up steam and Unreal further cements itself as the professional’s tool.

Unity was never open source and thus could never follow blender’s path. They’re almost certainly referring to Godot.

It’s unclear if this even happened in the US; CD Projekt is Polish…

Also consider that the gun wan apparently, no shit, a flintlock pistol. They may have thought it was a prop or something.

And it’s demoing something Elite Dangerous has had for years.

I’ve got ~50 hrs in game.

I’ve had 1 full crash, and a good handful of NPCs running into walls or levitating through ceilings.

Performance is fine, I guess, but I got the game as part of a promotion while upgrading my graphics card so it had better be. I believe folks who say it runs like dog on hardware that’s only a couple years old. It’s apparently unplayable if installed on a hard disk instead of an SSD.

All in, it’s the smoothest Bethesda launch I’ve ever seen (I skipped fallout 4, maybe it was better IDK) but that’s honestly not saying much. It’s way better than cyberpunk was at launch.

ID and Bethesda Softworks and both using different custom, proprietary engines. Retraining your entire studio on a new engine is extremely time consuming, especially if it’s a custom engine with limited learning materials, like ID tech. There’s a big cost/benefit analysis there, and frankly, if Bethesda ever did switch engines, I think they’d be more likely to go with Unreal for this reason. Current staff, and certainly new hires, are much more likely to be familiar with it.

It’ll be a shame if I have to ditch YouTube. There’s only 2 or 3 channels I would even consider paying for and they don’t have Patreon or anything. I’m less than interested in giving Google a cut.

Footnotes? Lol, it’s nearly the entire .nfo!

It’s generally a good idea to check the included materials whenever you’re using any software, including cracks. If those materials are packed with several paragraphs of pointless name calling it absolutely effects the end-user
