I don’t own ARC Raiders but it was still interesting to hear how the development shifted and the insights into why and how the dev team felt about it.

floating lab that can pick up and move to avoid regulations

Resident Evil coming to life before our eyes. What next, giant underground installations throughout the countrysi- oh… oh no…

Can’t be Arch, else he would’ve already said that he uses Arch btw. /s

I know 1 person with an Xbox One X. For casual gamers who don’t want the hassle of a PC (he doesn’t have one at all) it’s a good option. If the rumours of M$ bringing Steam to the Xbox turn out to be true it’d make it a really good value proposition for people who just want an easy system that has, with the addition of Steam, a massive amount of content available.

Said person is in my Steam family sharing so assuming it did happen one day he’ll have up to 1,300 games available for no extra cost.

Assume there will be at least one “secret” faction closer to launch.

You’re absolutely right that it’d be Chaos but my hope is for the Tau. They were fun to play in DoW1.

Yep. This is the correct answer but that’s not what this thread is about; it’s a nostalgic circle jerk mixed with a sprinkling of “back in my day”.

Don’t get me wrong here, I like the suggestions in this thread but literally one of the suggestions being upvoted is how the game is planned to handle servers (quick join is random and then there will be a list of community servers).

I’m fine with the official servers being random join, as long as I can pick and choose a community server. Which to state again, is apparently planned.

I’m still waiting for reviews on release to make sure they hold true to their marketing though. Can’t trust shit from large studios.

I can’t remember which game in the Road Rash series had it but the song Speed Home California is a certified banger.

I have my sound muted but still heard that PS1 logo sound so loud in my head I had the urge to turn the volume down on the old twist-knob tv I used to play on.

Unironically, COD getting delisted would probably get mainstream media coverage and legitimate outrage from people who “don’t play video games” but actually do.

Gaming Machine of Theseus

That might be the best, most relatable thing, I’ve read in ages. When people ask how old my PC is it’s… well… which part?

This is where I’m at too. DICE/EA were absolute muppets with the most recent Battlefield with own-goal after own-goal. Literally trying to make BF into a hero shooter with operatives etc. like, stupid bastards took Battlefield out of Battlefield and wondered why it was received poorly.

That being said, I really hope they’ve learned some lessons and this newest instalment knocks it out of the park. Could absolutely get back into a Battlefield game.

My inner monologue even said “2 delta V… wait.”

Some mates and I backed way back in the day and only really started putting some decent play time into it recently. While it’s definitely still in-progress we were all surprised at what they’ve done and what’s been accomplished.

It’s an absolute shame about the amount of feature creep the game has experienced but even the experience available now is decent.

I spent so long making a reply to Dubyakay and you said just as much in a quarter of the words! Cheers!

Does Matrix have screen sharing where multiple participants can screen share simultaneously yet? Because that’s the feature all of my friends use.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Discord, but if no one brings up screen sharing when Matrix is mentioned as an alternative then it’ll never be implemented.

Core memory unlocked. I think I played this for a very short time back in the 2000’s.

I recently got Star Trucker on sale. Absolutely loving it so far. Scratches my ETS chill vibe and sci-fi interesting stuff vibe.

My only wish would be a way to charge batteries! I know it’s a game design decision but batteries are the bane of my existence in ST.

Ubisoft: Best I can do is another Assassins Creed crammed with micro transactions and bloat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Imagine a game similar to Alien Isolation where the creature is a Thing which a small LLM AI generates, would be pretty cool. The usual hallucinations that AI suffer would just suit The Thing creature aesthetic and give a huge amount of variety to in-game monsters.

Mixed with a proper horror theme and some fleshed out “are they a Thing” game mechanics and it’d at least make a super interesting game.

Considering they referred to it as “an Xbox” instead of a specific generation I’m going to assume they weren’t around when the first Xbox was still a thing so they’re probably new to this.

I still have my pledge to SC, ~$25 so not a big one, but I’ve all but lost hope on a release of the full scope of the game as it was set out years ago thanks to the massive amount of feature creep and mismanagement.

They’re rebranding to Halo Studios and switching from an in-house engine to Unreal Engine for all future games.

Adding to this; Steam provides a hub where players purchase, play and review games. Meaning that I find the reviews to be more genuine.

E.g. every time I hear about a game that reviews decently well getting “review bombed” on Steam it’s because the company, usually the publisher, is fucking over the players in some way. Something that is well reported by players who can leave a product review on the same platform they purchased and played on.

So I wait for Steam release for reviews (on top of it being my preferred platform).

Really digging these new enemies! I wasn’t even interested in the expansion until they released the fff of the walkers and this one is no different in hyping me up!

Imagine getting 2000-ish people to work on a project for 6 years just to fart out a hero shooter who’s main claim to fame is being dead on arrival.

Well, that’s concerning.

Oh shit, that’s awesome! I didn’t see in the trailers that it was available on PC so I didn’t even check. Thanks for letting me know!

Looks interesting but it’s a bit of a shame that it won’t be available on PC, I’d have given it a go. Hopefully it is in the future which’ll give them some time to add some updates as well.

The first video game I owned on the original PlayStation. Pretty cool that it’s getting some attention.

Good points! Thanks for providing info.

Care to elaborate?

First time hearing about this, looks like an interesting game!

Love the look of these! They move in such a great, weird, alien, fashion and have decent variety while being very distinct from biters.

Fantastic game and I’m sure it’ll make a great couch co-op game too!

I’ve had a break from the game for a bit and this’ll get me right back in!

Wow, look at that refresh rate! Surely this’ll fix my skill issue! /s

Great work to whomever made the RTX remix mod for NFS: Underground! Hopefully more beloved games get this treatment too. Amazing how a good a fresh coat of paint can make these games look.

I somewhat agree. When it worked it was truly fun to see in action. Alternatively, when it didn’t work (due to reasons mentioned in the FFF) it’s was quite frustrating.

All in all I think it’s a step that had to be taken though I’ll definitely miss the old systems quirks.

Fortnight dances, only $7 to floss.
