Sell your csgo skins

The controller was absolute garbage! The analog sticks would get snagged where the battery covers split. Batteries on the front for who knows why.

Lol mine’s living in the closet now and thankfully all those games have released for the PC Gabecube. I’ll keep the hardware as a fun experiment in history though.

Ouya wasn’t all bad though! Some great games came out of it. Towerfall and Bombsquad are still favorite party games in my house. No Brakes Valet and Hidden in Plain Sight also still get played occasionally.

Iceflake Studio’s portfolio does not exactly inspire confidence, feels like this is the end of cities skylines. What a shame.

What are you buying? Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.

Nova is ridiculously big shoes to fill, but I’ve had a decent experience with hyperion.

I mostly use Niagara these days though, I’ve come to like the list layout more than icon grids.

It’s still on the PS Store but they removed the buy button, now wishlist only again. Team cherry broke everything.

I waited this long… What’s another hour… Come on, so close… PLEASE GABEN LET ME CHECK OUUUuuuttt

Astro bot is so damn good. I haven’t found another PS game that maximizes the functions of the dualsense like they did, it’s kind of a shame.

I burned probably a half hour just enjoying the vibration textures while walking on different surfaces lol.

If you’re digging Duke 3D, I can’t recommend Ion Fury enough. It’s incredible how far their team has pushed the Build engine.

I was not aware! That’s good to know

It uses the second analog to pan the camera vertically. It’s not critical, but sometimes you will want to look around before you jump off a ledge.

ITS REAL!!!

You’ll have to buy the DLC, no doubt. I could imagine them bundling an extra state or two for the release though, perhaps the whole revamped west coast

“Silksong is coming together and will be released in the future. Thank you for your patience.”

Flash games didn’t have a megacorp in the middle taking a cut on microtransactions. That’s a big difference.

The hint of gameplay in trailer looks like a near copy of monster hunter games to me.

Edit - funny though, Monster Hunter x Horizon actually seems like a great combo, but not like this.

I’m following what you’re getting at, it just feels the dev quoted makes “fiddling around” sound like an undertaking - users need to build custom lighting or change the engine in some way to get similar results. The real extent of fiddling in this case is dropping a node into a scene and making a few pointed selections.

Users preform this action a lot in godot. Everything rendered starts as a node, dropped into a scene, and making selections. Making a game would be “fiddling around” under this same context.

I believe the argument is that not every case needs or desires high fidelity realistic lighting. It is similar effort to take a godot game into a stylized, curated lighting direction, or take to a realistic direction. The trade off to Unreal’s approach is significantly more effort to “undo” the realistic lighting and then implement the stylized vision, if that’s what the game calls for.

But I do agree, there is value in defaults and it’d be nice to have a “make shit pretty” button that drops in preconfigured hyper real excellence.

“When you jump into something like Unreal, it assumes that you are making a photorealistic HD-looking game. So when you drop in some models, they already look great because of the lighting presets and so on,” explains Jay Baylis, co-director at Cassette Beasts maker Bytten Studio.

“But Godot doesn’t assume that, you need to fiddle around to make it look nice. As a result, people assume you can’t do 3D games in Godot. It does still lag behind; if you are making a AAA action game, you probably are better off using Unreal at this point in time, unless you really want to get into the weeds.”

This seems like a silly take, especially with all the lighting upgrades shipped in Godot 4. The tools are there, users just need to configure an environment node to suite the needs. I’d even argue Godot’s SDGFI is more robust than Unity’s Enlighten GI at this point.

While yeah unreal defaults are better for realistic light out of the box, ultimately if someone is making a AAA game they are getting “into the weeds” regardless of engine. I seriously doubt a AAA studio is going to ship a game with the default unreal lighting.

So glad Godot exists.

And this is before retailers add their 20% “fuck you, try and find this somewhere else” markup on top MSRP.

Guess I hope AI bros can keep nvidia going, gamers are straight up priced out of this market.

Its a healthy skepticism but historically speaking rockstar hasn’t toyed like that in the past. This trailer is in line with previous rockstar releases - they’ll rarely go full “gameplay mode” (camera behind the character), but still showing footage from the game engine.

The leak three years ago, showing 2019 state, basically confirmed what gameplay looked like this is not far off.

Source on pre-rendered cutscenes? Idk if this is running/captured on console hardware, but I can’t think of a rockstar game that used prerendered scenes.

Edit- final moments do say captured on PS5. Phew we’re back to people thinking GTA looks too good for real time. Nature is healing.

Most of my coworkers never turn their machine off, but I appreciate windows taking it’s time. Warming up the work laptop in the morning is like a ceremony at this point. Solid 10-15 minutes to grab coffee, have a chat, check the feeds… Lol I wonder how much time/productivity is collectively wasted across the country from this crap.

Sweet I’m excited to see what he cooks up with haunted chocolatier

I’m somewhat surprised how much stuff has to come out to get at that shoulder button, it’s a lot more involved than when I replaced my trigger - but still worth it I think. The ifixit guide is very good.

$8 part and 2 hours of time, if they decided to do it themselves.

This could be, hollow knight is one hell of a bar to clear. Valhiem was a lesson that studios are hard to scale up, and doing it distracts from development. There’s also something to be said about making a dream project, then having the focus and drive to keep it going and expanding.

Annd It’s possible their main dev might be addicted to balatro and there’s no way to factor or predict that kind of impact.

Team cherry is like 4 people, I’m confident that’s not a problem.

It was way more obvious back when team cherry went radio silence (circa 2022?) - and on some level I can understand “we’re game journalists, no one gets a pass” targeting a heavily delayed game, but I’m admittedly one of those fans that have no problem giving Cherry whatever time they need. I’m in no rush.

GamesRadar has been pushing these “but where gam?” articles for some time. It started right after silksong was delayed past the original hollow knight dev time. They seem utterly convinced silksong will be vaporware, or (more likely) it drives plenty of clicks complaining.

We got GTA5 Remastered before GTA6

Games are doing fine for now, but how much longer will devs and artists continue being treated like disposable tissue before we see the talent pool implode? It doesn’t seem to matter what game is built, how well it performs, if it’s single player or live service - the layoffs and closures come for everyone.

“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect…”.

Interpreted as “Players Should Get Comfortable with Not Owning Games”

The real context was they wanted more subscriptions.

We’re all just getting comfortable not owning games. Ubisoft games, specifically. This is what they asked for, right?

You have Mario on steam deck!? Hello, FBI, yes this comment right here.

Master Chief, Solid Snake and Mario all on one system.

Idk about more lag, but fair point point about 1080p cap. My deck is 800p, it’s not really bothered me heh.

It does, I’ve had chromium to GFN setup as a non-steam game since basically day one. Native app would probably be more convenient though.
