You know what’s a good way to get people to ignore your posts and community? Spamming.
It’s not really my fault that 3D Realms released dozens of trailers at the same time because they have their Realms Deep event going. I got up (European time), watched the stream (skipping the weird talk show parts) and posted the selection of the trailers that I like.
Talk to 3D Realms if you prefer trailers being spread more apart.
This is bonkers. I already liked the demo and and I’m still blown away by the fact that they achieved that amout of graphical fidelity using the GZDoom engine.
That’s the expansion by the Voidpoint people who didn’t leave a good impression with some of their hurtful “jokes”. Personally, I’m not looking forward to it but it’s the closest thing to a new Duke3D, so some people might be interested.
A bit of a shame it was ignored by pretty much all GOTY discussions. It would have deserved to be at least in consideration but at least the outlets follow were not even aware of the game.
Is that… comfortable? That sounds like a really awkward way to play.
It was kinda OK. It actually had the benefit of analog movement as compared to WASD. Biggest downside was the small screen.
Any reason you didn’t do all in on the controller or keyboard+mouse?
The game did not seem to work with controller only and forced me to use the trackpads and I cannot play FPS games with just a controller anyway. As for why no keyboard, the answer is simple: I was too lazy to get up and get my BT keyboard and my USB C dock (all my Deck accessories are stored in a dedicated bag).
I was initially interested in the original, but the studio’s transphobic, misogynist, and homophobic “jokes” both within their games and their communities pretty quickly dissuaded me.
I was not aware of that. I’m not the biggest fan of the Build engine, so I was never anything more than barely aware that the game exists. I’ve skimmed over en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Fury#Controversy a bit after your comment. I agree with you. Had I’ve been initially interested in the original, such “jokes” would have put me off as well.
it sounds like this has a new team behind it, so possibly disregard the above
The successor is done by a different studio (Slipgate Ironworks, who are also doing the RTS Tempest Rising). The original team (Voidpoint) works on the expansion for the first game. I hope Slipgate isn’t using Voidpoint’s “joke” template.
