I’m using Fedora workstation (Gnome) and the updates are done while turning off the computer.

Next time I start it, it starts without having to apply or download anything.

The only thing which could be improved is that you still have to go to the software center to download updates, but you can apply them whenever you want.

Okay I understand now, but I think the formulation could have been better then😇

Why? I’ve been running a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2020 and I plan on keeping it until 2029 at least.

So I can’t see the planned obsolescence except if you meant the ability to upgrade its internals…

Yeah I guess so.

That’s why I’ll soon be getting a Steam Deck to sit alongside my Playstation.

It’s my first move towards Linux gaming.

I ain’t so convinced to be honest, but I’m always keeping an eye on their next move.

Playstation 6 will really reveal a lot about their plans.

We might have a fully retrocompatible console with a (optional) disc drive.

We might also have a digital only console with subscriptions.

Ii it’s the later, I’ll be jumping to Linux gaming.

If they do this, I might leave Sony. But I don’t think they would such a thing except if they really remive every physical drive, which would also make me think about leaving.

Clearly the article is about game preservation. Could they do more? Of course but it’s already a start.

Let’s hope the PS6 lets you play games from every generation before.

And also how do you manage to play so much?

I can only play around 7 hours a week so I’m kind of avoiding long games.

Aliens Dark Descent

Got it for free on the PS Plus and a great game so far.

I also enjoyed Aliens Colonial Marines even if it’s less my style.

It would be lovely to let Microsoft subsidize and just put Linux on it as a big fuck you while letting Valve save some money on the R&D required to build a Steam Deck 2

This is a really interesting article!

I’m all for an end to exclusivities. Just let me enjoy whatever I want on whatever platform I want as long as it’s optimized enough.

If Xbox people get Uncharted, I ain’t gonna cry as long as I get Gears of War for instance.

I’m happy if the Steam Deck remains relevant for a while as I plan on buying an used LCD one alongside my ps5.

A really great game, only bested by the second one.

I played it a few times on ps3, then once on the PS4. I got my PS5 with the remake but I sold the game as it didn’t need a remake since nothing about it was old.

If they want to keep me on their platform they’ll probably have to, otherwise it’s gonna be a Linux PC for me with all the hassle PC gaming means in my eyes.

It’s surprising that games are getting cheaper compared to the cost of living. If you take into consideration the fact that games are becoming more expensive to produce, I really don’t understand it.

Gaming is way cheaper for me than it was during the ps2 or ps3 era.

Yeah it really makes me think something has to change.

Especially since an Fps should cost less than open world with lots of characters and locations.

These numbers sound insane. I wonder how it compares to the developpment costs of other big games.

I also wonder how it conpares to the cost of similar games like Killzone 3 or Gears Of War from 15 years ago.

Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.

Yeah but the consoles still have to be cheap enough for people like me not making the jump to PC gaming.

So I’d say they have to be careful about the hardware price compared to a PC.

Nothing beats the ease of use of a console, but I can tell you that if prices starts getting close, I’d pribably buy a PC that I can use for way more than gaming and watching movies.

I loved Mass Effect but I ain’t so enthusiastic about what I’m seeing for now…

Clearly the main protagonist looks a bit cheesy…

I’m intrigued about this one. I’d still want another Last Of Us though.

If it’s the first time Last Of Us 2 comes out on PC, I don’t see the problem.

It’s a masterpiece and I’d want everyone to enjoy it.

But, now, Naughty Dog really has to do something else than remasters.

I’d love a third Last Of Us, but it could also stop on such a great note.

Clearly, sometimes watching a TV show or a Youtube video is way less demanding than gaming.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my reality.

I also know that I really love immersing myself into story driven games, so playing a few minutes before cooking the meal isn’t an option.

Yeah these games are great, although clearly not perfect.

I enjoy them but some buggy technical aspects in the second one are quite distracting.

But you have a lot to explore in an interesting way.

They remind my of the first new God of War but in a Star Wars world.

I might have a look at it with my fiancé who’s not at all into gaming, but really invested in fighting against the palestinian genocide

I have a Switch that I’m almost never using (nor my kids), but yeah the idea is great.

I’d love a similar concept from Sony even if it’d just be a copy.

If only I enjoyed nintendo games as much as sony games.

Nah it’s never gonna be able to play steam games as Sony is making money on the games it’s selling and not the hardware.

I think the advantage it would have over the Steam Deck is that you wouldn’t have to tinker to get games playing as it’d just be a normal console.

Personally, as a console gamer, I feel more and more attracted by Linux gaming, but I don’t think I’ll make the jump until physical games are gone for good.

Good luck to that lawsuit!

I’ve nothing against Sony, but I want some of these companies to lose some of these cases just to remind them that we should own what we buy.

I don’t see in what way having a PSN account would make Horizon Zero Dawn safer on PC.

But I also wouldn’t mind so much if the few PC games I’d buy from Sony were linked to my PSN account as I’ve been a Playstation gamer since the first console.

Still, I wouldn’t want every publisher to require an account to play…

I’ve played through the normal game and the expansion. I loved the universe, but the gameplay isn’t so great to be honest.

Also I often struggled with dialogues, selecting one sentence and not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance). But this might be just me😇

I recommend playing these games and I’ll play both at least twice.

That’s so true and that’s why I’m getting tired of open world games and really trying to space them evenly with a few « normal » games inbetween.

I kind of miss linear games.

What I find crazy is that on Playstation you got Gran Turismo in 2022 I think and there’ll be no other concurrent until Asseto Corsa Evo in probably 2026.

I’ve already so many hours of going around the Ring in GT7, but I’d really h’love an extension with a new career mode and new trophies until Asseto Corsa Evo.

Well the magic of a remake is that you can still poay the old game if you’re not happy with it😅

I have no problem with remakes as long as they aren’t just trying to grab some cash from you without any work.

I’ve really enjoyed the Final Fantasy VII remakes or the Planet of the Apes remakes. Yes they aren’t perfect, but it feels like some passion was put into these projects.

As long as we aren’t just getting remakes, I have nothing against it. And sometimes remakes even have more originality than another generic game.

Could be for some games, but it doesn’t apply to games which had the resume activities and were still exposing you a thousand times to the same screens.

Also, at this point, they don’t know what game mode you’re gonna play so I don’t think they can load much except the general menu.

What I really don’t understand is how crazy it is in 2024 to have to go through the same screen telling you who’s the developer and publisher of the game even after 150 hours of playing time.

I think we should have an option to go to certain parts of the game directly in the welcome screen from your Playstation.

I’ve just finished replaying Killzone 3 on PlayStation 3 and it’s still really impressive.

I might start Little Nightmares 2 tonight or tomorrow on my PlayStation 5.

Playing Killzone 3 right now and I still find it impressive despite having a PlayStation 5.

I’ve watched the trailer and it doesn’t look good enough to justify buying the remake I think.

I also fear that I may just be too old for Metal Gear. I used to love them though and I’ve played all of them at least 3 times, except the fifth one which was just a huge disappointment.

I really enjoy Gran Turismo 7 even if it lacks a proper career mode and the AI isn’t good.

Looking forward to Asseto Corsa 2 as people were really happy with the first one and I haven’t played it.
